Book For Read
Chapter 1352
Everett's gaze was fixed on her, unblinking and intense, as if he was trying to gauge the sincerity behind her words. If it weren't for the fact that she needed to keep a grip on him, Dorothy might have raised her hand to swear on it!
"Trust me this time, I'll be absolutely, absolutely obedient!"
He didn't say anything, just kept looking at her.
Finally, Everett spoke softly after a long moment.
"Alright, then we'll have another baby."
"You really mean it!" Dorothy burst into a smile, wrapping her arms around his neck to plant a kiss on his cheek, "Everett, thank you!"
That left him somewhat at a loss for words.
Everett raised his hand, gently stroking her hair, "I know you're doing this so I won't have any regrets."
He might not have been a mind reader, but he knew Dorothy well.
Otherwise, with her career-driven nature, how could she possibly want to have a baby right when their startup was getting off the ground?
He understood, he got it all!
...
When Dorothy woke up, she realized her alarm hadn't gone off!
No wonder she had slept so soundly...
The only reason she woke up was because of the delicious smell wafting in from outside.
Dorothy quickly got up, freshened up, and walked out of the bedroom to find Everett had already dropped the kids off at school and even made breakfast, neatly arranged on the dining table. "You're not going to the office today?"
At this time, to see him still at Bay Residence was quite unusual.
"I pushed a morning meeting to the afternoon."
With those words, Dorothy understood he was specifically waiting for her, probably wanting to have a talk.
She pulled out a chair and sat down, her eyes immediately landing on not just the breakfast on the table but also a box of morning-after pills-
Even without ever having taken them, she knew what they were.
"Why did you buy this?"
He had clearly agreed last night!
"Just sit down." Everett seemed prepared for this conversation, his demeanor stable, his handsome face emotionless as he served her some oatmeal.
He might have been calm, but Dorothy's heart immediately tensed up.
Regardless, she was definitely not going to take that pill.
As Everett placed the bowl of oatmeal in front of Dorothy, he sat opposite her, his expression serious, "I woke up in the early hours, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. I'm still worried about your body not being abte to handle having another baby for me."
He mentioned it casually, but Everett had been researching all sorts of risks associated with childbirth since the early morning.
The more he read, the more worried he became.
They had been on and off before, without much chance to seriously consider this matter.
It wasn't until he realized she was seriously considering it that he started to think about the issue.
"So, you plan on me taking this?" Dorothy pointed at the item next to him.
"Last night... was reckless, didn't IwasNôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
take precautions, and if we decide today that we don't want this, then.." Everett pressed his lips together, t swear this will absolutely be the last time ask you to take such medication."
He had researched; the pill could be harmful.
But compared to having a baby, the damage was minimal.

"I won't take it." Dorothy's stance was unusually firm, "Everett, I know you always like to think things through Before acting, but we're living life here, not planning a project! I believe that even if were
to die in childbirth, that would be my fate-"
"Dorothy! I won't allow you to talk like that!" Everett's brow furrowed as he interrupted her sternly.
