At that moment, Dorothy almost wanted to laugh.

A few years back, she was the one who had said, "Let's get a divorce." And now, years later, it was he who uttered the words "let's break up." Indeed.

It was a breakup, not a divorce.

She hadn't remarried Everett, nor had he taken her back. Between Everett and Dorothy, there was no marital bond.

Even with Abigail and Langston in the picture, they weren't husband and wife.

After what felt like an eternity of silence, Dorothy finally spoke with a hoarse voice, "Is it just because of your mother?" "What else could it be?" "Is there... any other reason?" Like, Quincy's involvement.

Everett frowned, "Just say what you want to say." "Quincy." Dorothy didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, especially since hearing Everett say they were breaking up had already left her heart ice cold.

He wouldn't just say those words lightly.

Everett reflexively asked, "What does she have to do with anything?" "So, after we break up, are you going to marry her?" "...That's none of your business." Dorothy cracked a smile, "Everett, don't you find life interesting? Initially, your parents wanted you to marry her, and you refused. You madebelieve in you, to be with you. Now that your mother has passed away, you suddenly want to listen to your parents." She wasn't hysterical, contrary to what she had anticipated.

Dorothy had imagined if the endgwith Everett was parting ways, she'd be devastated.

But when it actually cdown to it, she wasn't.

Instead, she felt calm, almost amused.

"Dorothy, you've got the answer you wanted. I don't think I need to explain much else to you." Everett turned away, refusing to face her.

"Are you serious?" Dorothy didn't leave; she stood her ground.

Dorothy clenched her fists, trying to stay calm, not wanting to confront him aggressively.

"You really plan to marry Quincy?" He stayed silent still.

"Everett, you once toldyou'd only marry me, that you'd never lie to me." That's why Dorothy stayed, continuing to question him.

If he had decided on breaking up, if today was meant to tear away all pretenses, then she might as well get sclear answers.

After a long pause, Everett finally spoke, rothy, even though I r you, I'll ensure you never what a wife is entitled to." "Do I look like I need your money? Do you think I need your money?" "That's all I can offer you now." "Then letask you, Everett, after we break up, we're both free to marry whoever we want, right?" || Everett's fingertips twitched.

"You won't interfere in my life anymore, correct?" After calming down, Dorothy thought back to the tactic she had previously used to force Everett to show up.

If he truly was letting go, if they were truly parting ways, then he wouldn't care who she ended up with, who she became.

"Dorothy, do you find it amusing to testlike this?" Everett didn't answer immediately. He stood up and slowly said, "Of course, I'll still interfere in your life, because Abigail and Langston are my children. Even if we're breaking up, they're still maine! I won't allow you to just pick any man to be their stepfather."
