“A boy?”
Seeing the surprise on Dorothy’s face, the lady boss raised her eyebrows and asked, “Oh, you didn’tknow? I thought he spcafically requested this for you”
After all, back then, it was usually only she who would go to eat hamburgers after evening self–studyinstead of rushing home.
“It was probably not because of me.”
She didn’t think anyone would have done that for her in middle school.
After chatting with the lady boss about the changes in the school, Durothy didn’t want to delay their restand decided to take the hamburger before leaving.
Leaving the shop, she saw Everett waiting for her across the street
He hadn’t followed her into the shop. He just stood there smoking a cigarette.
“You’ve never been here before, have you?
Dorothy thought. “He, a young master from a wealthy family, probably wouldn’t deign to eal suchordinary food that only common folk
“I’ve been here.” Everett stubbed out his cigarette, tock the takeaway bag from her hand, andcontinued to walk beside her.
Dorothy looked up slightly. “Really?”
I’m not as noble as you think
Although the Lopez family had been indeed wealthy back then, they were still far from their curentstatus
“Do you think their food is good?”
“It’s okay, I ate there for two months straight.”
That really surprised Dorothy. She laughed a few times before saying. Till let you in on a secret. Isecretly worked here for two months in middle school! Luckily, I’m tall. Otherwise, they would haverealized they were employing child labor, and I would have let the couple down! Back then, I wasbegging them to hire me.”
Everett gave a slight smile, quietly listening to her talk about the past
As they walked and chatted, they arrived at the backed hotel
Dorothy tried a bite of the hamburger.
“still tastes like I remember”
wanted to have another bite, but Everett took it away from her.
“Stop eating. It’s cold. It’s not good for your stomach
He seemed to care a lot about her stomach issues.
Dorothy was taken aback, thinking that Heather must also have had stomach problems, hence whyEverett always reminded her.
It was not that she always intentionally thinks about Heather. It was just that every time Everest showedconcem for her, Dorothy’s mind involuntanly drifted to his tattoo on the collarbane, the password to hisplace, and Heather’s intimate calls of ‘Everett”
*Hungry?”
Seeing her silence, Everett thought she was upset that he took her hamburger, so he gently said, “Ihave my assistant bring some food
“No need! I bought the hamburger on a whim.” She got up and grabbed her pajamas from the side ofthe bed. “I’m going to take a shower.”
Dorothy hastily went into the bathroom. Looking at her reflection in the minar, she felt an indescribableimitation.
She suddenly hated her own face!
Although it was because of her face that she caught Everett’s attention and gave her mother theopportunity for surgery, it also constantly reminded her of her status as a substituto.
Ever since she signed the agreement with Everell, his gentleness, his consideration, and hisattentiveness, if Dorothy said she wasn’t moved at all, that would be a liel Because she had very rarelyboon cared for in her life.
But the cruelest thing was that she knew very clearly that all those heartwarming good deeds weregiven to Heather through her face.
Without that face, she probably wouldn’t have even had the chance to talk to Everett alone!
14:57
That night, Dorothy was particularly proactive. Even when she was extremely exhausted and she didn’thave the strength to rise her hand, she didn’t call for a stop.
