Chapter 357

Kenneth hesitated for a moment, but understanding Dorothy’s predicament, he agreed

“Wright then. I use my driver’s license to get you a room, then I’ll go crash at a buddy’s place. This way,

there will be no trace of you.”

“Okay, thank you, Kenneth.”

“Don’t mention it. I don’t want to hear about it.”

After hanging up. Dorothy stared at her phone, feeling a heavy weight in her heart

She should’ve set boundaries with Kenneth the moment she decided not to accept his proposal. But

now she still needed his help

Sometimes, Dorothy felt quilty. She could not ignore the reproach of her conscience.

Wasn’t she just leading him on?

After Everett and Jeffrey met, Jeffrey had already scoured all potential surveillance cameras in the

vicinity.

However, the person who took the child seemed to be prepared. He was fully equipped when he came

to the hotel and purposely avoided the surveillance cameras when leaving with the child.

As a result, they ended up with nothing.

“Everett, do you think it’s possible that this person is trying to use the child to blackmail you?” Jeffrey

asked.

Everett looked at Jeffrey with his brows furrowed

*No one has contacted me for now.”

“Maybe it’s not time yet.”

“What’s your definition of the right time? Everett shot back. “If the child is as tall as you say, he must be

about five or six years old. During that time, I hadn’t divorced Dorothy yet. So, is the child Dorothy’s?”

Jeffrey shook his head with certainty

“No, it’s not hers!” She had a daughter, not a son, so it wasn’t her child

Of course, Jeffrey didn’t dare say the last part.

He had already messed up by losing the kid; he didn’t want to push his luck.

“Except for her, I’ve never been with another woman.” Everett said without any hesitation, and here

was no embarrassment or discomfort in his voice.

He believed that being faithful in love was nothing to be ashamed of

“You’ve only ever been with one woman? Just Dorothy?” Jeffrey repeated in disbelief.

“Yes.”

“So, you’ve never gotten drunk and mistaken another woman for Dorothy?” Jeffrey reasoned

A child doesn’t just appear out of thin air. There must have been a relationship of some sort.

Perhaps Everett was just unaware of II.

Everett looked at him calmly. “When you get drunk, do you really not know who you’ve slept with

Jeffrey was left speechless.

True enough, when a man was completely drunk, he would be incapable of any action. How could he

possibly have relations with someone?

The weren’t completely inebriated, he would know what the woman he slept with looked like.

Even if he didn’t consider other factors, he would at least consider whether the woman was clean and

what her background was.

“Jeffrey, you’re sure the kid is five or six years old?”

Jeffrey shook his head vigorously.

“No, no, no, I just made a rough estimate. He was very tight–lipped, so I don’t know if he was

deliberately keeping it from me or if he really didn’t know. If it’s your child, they would naturally be taller

than others at birth, so my estimation could be wrong”

“You’re saying…

Event’s heart was filled with a hint of anticipation. He was so hopeful for the answer that he couldn’t

think too much about it. He was afraid that he would be disappointed.
