Chapter 387

“Tve been trying to get ahold of this guy for you, but he’s like a ghost. No one knows where he’s at or

even what he looks like! The only thing I can do is reach out to the folks he’s dealt with in the past and

see if they can get a response out of him.”

Dorothy nodded, understanding that Kenneth would have exhausted all his resources. She didn’t need

to push him.

“I guess I’m just banking on this guy now.”

Kenneth hesitated before suggesting. “After this incident, I realized that Langston has a knack for

computer stuff. Shell we let him have a go?”

Dorothy shook her head. “No, whether Langston is capable or not is not the point. Even if he is, I don’t

want him to see that.”

Langston was sensitive, not as naive and innocent as Abigail. If he was to recover the video, he would

inevitably be the first to see it, which would be detrimental to his growth.

That was about a murder!

Langston would harbor even deeper hatred for the Lopez family.

Kenneth understood Dorothy’s maternal concerns and nodded in agreement. “I guess I oversimplified

things.”

“Kenneth, I know you mean well and I appreciate it.”

“Enough with the thank–yous,” Kenneth laughed, glancing at his watch. “How about we grab some grub

and then hit the road? The kids are waiting for you.”

“Alright

Dorothy quickly gathered her belongings and left the room with Kenneth.

They found a local diner and sat down. She wasn’t hungry and just thought it would be unfair to let

Kenneth go without a meal after all his help.

As soon as the eggs and bacon arrived, Kenneth kept piling them onto her plate,

“I can’t eat that much.”

“You need to eat more: you’ve lost weight” Kenneth’s tone was like that of someone coaxing a child, but

it shifted in the next moment. “Dorothy, there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you.”

Dorothy put down her fork. “Go ahead”

“Now that Langston has been discovered, Everett must know he has a son. He just doesnt know it’s

yours. Langston also knows he has a father When he grows up, he might come back for Everett.”

Some things were simply beyond their control

Their fated reunion as father and son was inevitable.

Just like how Langston found out about Everett, even though Kenneth never told him!

So he wanted Dorothy to be prepared, to decide whether to go with the flow or resist.

Dorothy lowered her eyes. “Kenneth, I’ve been thinking these past few days. Am I being too selfish? Im

depriving my children of their father’s love

Because of Everett knew he had two children in this world, his love for them would be no less than

hers.

If it weren’t for her fear of how Everett’s parents would treat the children, she would never have kept

them a secret!

“Don’t talk like that. The Lopez family is complicated, even Everett couldn’t protect your family. You

can’t expect two Intle kids to fend for themselves in that!”

“But Abigail and Langston still want a father.” Even if they didn’t say it, Dorothy knew.

Because it was a child’s naturel

“When they grow up, they’ll understand your concems. And situations change all the time. Maybe by

then, Everett’s parents won’t be around anymore! Then Abigail and Langston can be reunited with

Everett.”
