“Dear Dorothy, | can't help but reminisce about every minute we spent in this house.” Those words, if not for the courage of liquor, he might never utter.

He had to admit, in this battle with Dorothy, he had lost, lost utterly and entirely, with no hope of standing again.

Kevin felt his complex emotions in every word.

The kind of desolation, the kind of helplessness... it really tugged at one's heartstrings! "Mr. Lopez, stop thinking about it." "Okay, | won't think about it anymore." Everett obediently nodded, a bitter smile curling up on his thin lips, "I won't think about it anymore." Kevin let out a sigh, "Let's go back to rest. You're drunk, and we have work tomorrow." "Okay." "What's your door code? I'll unlock it for you, then you can change it tomorrow.” He could see from Mr. Lopez's current state that he was in no condition to remember the code.

Everett, tall and wavering, said, "The password is... the day we first shared a desk — August 25th, 0825." Kevin didn't know whether to say that Mr. Lopez was too infatuated or too obstinate.

After unlocking the door successfully, he turned to help Everett, only to find him already sitting on the steps of the villa.

His shadow, elongated by the moonlight, seemed even more desolate and lonely.

"Mr. Lopez..." "Kevin, | have a thought." "Go ahead." "If | threatened Dorothy with my life, would she come back to me?" "I'm not sure. | don't know how Ms. Sanchez would react to your idea." "What if | did everything in my power to keep her by my side?" After saying this, Everett laughed at himself, "I don't want to be a gentleman anymore; | just want her." Being a gentleman was too tiring; he didn't want to be moral gentleman anymore, and he didn't care if Dorothy loved him or not.

He was really losing control; he just wanted to get Dorothy back.

Meanwhile, late into the night.

Dorothy remained seated on the bench at the bus stop, unmoving.

As if saying those words had taken all her strength so she couldn't take another step.

She knew Everett would be devastated.

She knew her words were like daggers to his heart.

But they were divorced, she was carrying the vengeance for her mother, and he had just announced his engagement. She couldn't give him any hope.

Her phone rang again and again. Finally, when it was nearly out of battery, Dorothy answered.

The voice on the other end was frantic, "Dorothy, why haven't you been answering your phone? I'm worried about you!" "Kenneth, I'm okay." "Did Everett say something to you? Did he find out anything?" "No, | said a lot of harsh words to him, then he hung up. He probably didn't suspect anything." Kenneth sighed, "You are regretting the harsh words, aren't you? Dorothy, | want you to be happy. | believe your mom would want the same. So why don't you just..." "There's no such option, Kenneth. | can't ask him to send his parents to prison for the murder, for my sake." "Alright, let's not think about it anymore. Abigail and Langston is waiting for you." Dorothy wiped her tears, "Okay...I might not be able to go back tonight; I'll go back tomorrow!" "Silly girl, you think I'd really leave you alone in Eldorria City?" Kenneth laughed, "Dorothy, look to your right."
