All Novel Sweet
Chapter 1292
Honestly, she didn't even know why she was crying, but the tears just wouldn't stop flowing... Sure, that slap stung, but it wasn't the pain that lingered this long.
Maybe it was Jonathan's declaration of undying love that stirred something deep within her!
Dorothy thought to herself, if this wasn't all an act, if it were real, then she... she wouldn't have come to the airport to pick up Jonathan today. She figured she would have gone off with Everett instead.
Just like she believed Everett would do the same for her.
Kevin sensed the tension in the car and didn't dare utter a word, just focused on driving them to the downtown hotel as quickly as possible!
He hadn't even accomplished the task Mr. Lopez had set out for him, fearing the impending scolding.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
As they were about to reach the hotel, Jonathan, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly spoke up-
"Were there any media folks back at the airport?"
Kevin was puzzled by the sudden question but nodded, "There are always some paparazzi tailing me and Ms. Sanchez in disguise. Coming to the airport, it's likely we were followed." There would be new headlines by tomorrow.
He could already imagine the title-
Everett's Father Arrives in Eldorria City, Strikes Former Daughter-in-Law
"Mhm." After Jonathan hummed in response, he turned his gaze to Dorothy in the back seat, "That act back there, not bad."
He had been fooled for a moment.
As soon as he said that, not only Dorothy froze, but so did Kevin!
Mr. Lopez said... he hadn't informed his father?
Seeing the confused looks on their faces, Jonathan frowned, "Your acting might fool the media, but Everett is my son. Whether he's in trouble or not, I know."
"Though I don't know why you're doing all this, if my presence is required in this charade, I have no choice."
Dorothy bit her lower lip, feeling a bit guilty.
To think, at his age, he had to go through all this trouble because of her!
"I'm sorry..."
"I don't want to hear any apologies. Everett is my only child, and he's set his heart on you for life. If you truly have Your heart on him as well,
then I hope you two stop causing any more trouble! I'm too old for this kind of shock."
Jonathan's words, though they sounded displeased, even a bit irritated upon a closer look...
Wasn't this just the same as acknowledging Dorothy as his daughter-in-law?
"When you're back home, I might not be the first to know if something happens, but try not to keep me in the dark!"
Kevin felt a bit awkward, "That was Mr. Lopez's decision, please don't blame Ms. Sanchez..."
"I know!" Jonathan glared, "If not for him, who else would dare to play me like this?"
In his life, no one had dared to treat him like that!
"Once we reach the hotel, I'll take a rest, and then you give me your phone, to prevent anyone from tapping my calls. I need to talk to that brat."
Kevin immediately nodded, "Of course!"

Dorothy's phone rang-
Seeing an unknown number, her heart skipped a beat!
Looks like Lane couldn't sit still any longer, much earlier than she and Everett had anticipated.
Dorothy gave Kevin a look, then answered the call.
Having cried earlier, her voice was naturally hoarse, easy to detect.
"Have you been crying?"
Just as expected, Lane's first question was exactly that.
