“Yeah, back again.”

She remembered the first time she set foot in this place, neck craning and heart thumping, all she could think was, “It is so nice to be rich!” Back then, she was even envious of someone who could catch Everett’s eyes.

And now, it turned out she was envying herself.

Hand in hand with Everett, she entered the house, where Abigail and Langston were already in a wild play-fight and having toys scattered everywhere.

Dorothy’s face went through a quick change of colors as she scolded, “You two, clean this mess up, now!”

Because Everett was bit of a neat freak.

She didn’t even dare to glance at Everett, imagining just how sour his expression must be as he saw his own home being messed up like that.

Instinctively, Dorothy kicked off her shoes and hurried to join the cleanup.

But suddenly, her wrist was caught in a warm, firm grip.

Everett’s voice came through from above, “Abigail, Langston, keep playing. It’s fine.”

Dorothy stared at him, baffled, “But this…”

“I like watching them play.” There wasn’t a hint of disgust in Everett’s eyes, only a pure joy reaching all the way to his soul.
