Chapter 404

“No way! You’re lying” Langston yelled.

Everett shrugged, pulling out his smartphone with a smirk, 1:03 AM 10:27 AM, and looks like you were

snooping around the server again just a minute ago.”

Langston’s eyes widened in disbelief. “But I reset everything!”

Watching his son’s frustrated little face, Everett couldn’t help but walk back and pinch his cheek

affectionately.

“Who taught you these tech moves”

“My mentor. He’s the real deat

As his son excitedly praised someone else, Everett felt a twinge of jealousy and raised an eyebrow,

tossing out a challenge. “After I wmp up some stuff, Ill teach you myself

Grabbing his car keys, he headed out to the grocery store. He made sure to pick up some extra

veggies to give his son a nutritious meal.

Just as he was about to leave, Everett spotted a bunch of toys on sale at the entrance. Drawn by the

colorful array, he started to wander over.

“Hey, could you help me get these toys to the car?”

“Sure thing sir!”

With his shopping done and realizing the meeting time was approaching, Everett realized he wouldn’t

have time to cook After a brief pause, he dialed Kevin

“Postpone the meeting by three hours.”

“Mr. Lopez, you’ll be skipping out on rest tonight then?”

“My kid wants to taste my cooking”

With that one line. Kevin understood. “111 let everyone know right away.”

“And Kevin, have you settled the East Star Enterprises issue?”

“All settled, Mr. Lopez Lane tried to use his clout to fire Ms. Sanchez intercepted and cut off his power.”

Kevin blabbered on, eager to boast, mentioning Dorothy Sanchez, causing Everett to frown.

“Did I ask about Dorothy? I asked about East Star Enterprises!”

“Ah, right! I got it, Mr. Lopez, everything’s in order! Both Ms. Sanchez and East Star Enterprises, all

settled”

Everett was speechless

Hanging up the phone, Everett, who had been expressionless, suddenly cracked a thin, unexpected

smile.

He had been too cautious before, too concerned with propriety. Now, he just wanted to bring the person

he cared for closer.

That’s human nature, isn’t it?

Even if he couldn’t stand beside her as a husband, he could as a boss.

If Lane had the audacity to pursue her knowing she was married, then why couldn’t he, Everett, try his

hand at the same game?

If Dorothy could tolerate Lane, what was stopping him?

Everett returned to Bay Residence, groceries in hand. As he entered, he found Langston tinkering with

his laptop on the living room couch.

Hearing his dad, Langston gultily set the laptop aside, pretending to watch TV instood

Everett, both exasperated and fond, quirked a smije, “You can play all you want. I’ve locked the

conference channel. You can’t get into that”

Langston pouted, “I crack it someday!”

“You can try.”

With a chuckle, Everett carried the ingredients into the kitchen, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and began to

cook methodically, chopping and frying Langston shuffled in after him, watching in awe as dish after

dish came together and was placed on the table

Looking at the spread skeptically, he doubted it could taste as good as it looked, until he tasted a piece

of the fish

“Wow! This is delicious! If my sister were here, she’d love it tool

Everett paused, his eyebrows arching slightly. “Your sister?”
