Chapter 1532
After he dropped that bomb, he even paused, adding a considerate "Right?" at the end, as if to soften the blow.
Had Felicity not been there, Everett might have actually stood up to smack someone with his shoe!
It was clear he had been plotting this for a while.
Dorothy caught on too.
With a suppressed smile, she couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, you. Just hang in there for your son's happiness, will you?"
Everett knew he was cornered.
There was no way out.

Aurora had been by his side in the hospital the whole time, not stepping away even for a moment. "Craig..."
Amelie slowly opened her eyes to see Aurora sleeping on her son's lap, while he couldn't take his eyes off her.
