Chapter 29
To save time, Dorothy just tossed some clothes over her pajamas and bounced.
She figured she’d drop Everett off at Bay Residence and then head back.
She took a cab to Crimson International Club, and the minute she hopped out, she spotted Everett’s black Maybach.
“Ms. Sanchez, here are the car keys.” The assistant rushed over the moment he saw her.
Dorothy didn’t smell any booze on him, but as soon as she got in the car, she smelled the dude in the passenger seat. He smelled like a damn distillery.
*Please take Mr. Lopez home. Be careful on the road.” The assistant stood by the roadside, waving.
She was baffled. “Aren’t you coming? Then who would help Everett in when we got there?”
“I’ve got something else to handle.
Dorothy was speechless and resigned herself to the driver’s seat. novelbin
She snuck a peek at Everett next to her. His suit and shirt were still immaculate. His handsome face was tense, and his lips were tightly pressed. He looked like he was screaming keep out.”
Well, at least he had his eyes closed, so she figured he was asleep.
When they got to Bay Residence, Dorothy gently called out to him after opening the passenger door. “Mr. Lopez?”
No response.
She had no choice but to start moving the nearly 6-foot-tall man. She used all the strength she had.
Finally, she managed to get Everett onto the bed. Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to leave, a pair of hands found her waist.
With a slight pull, she tumbled onto the bed with him.
“Mr. Lopez!” Dorothy shrieked after she found herself pinned under him. His hands weren’t behaving…
“Mr. Lopez, you’re drunk! Let me… Let me get you some water.”
She tried to get up, but his strong arm wasn’t budging.
“Made up your mind yet?” His voice was a lot huskier than usual.
“I don’t understand what you are implying.” She was serious. “If you regret our marriage, we can get a divorce, but my mother’s medical expenses for now…”
“Dorothy” He frowned at her. “You heartless wench.”
There was a hint of resentment in his voice.
Everett was definitely plastered.
“I know you saved my mother, and I should pay you back immediately regarding the contract termination, but I really don’t have the money right now.” She was truly desperate. For now, all she could do was make promises.
After a long while, he sighed.
“I won’t let you terminate the contract.” Everett rolled off her and lay next to her. “Turn off the lights and go to sleep.”
“But Mr. Lopez…”
“If you don’t want to sleep, you can stay awake till tomorrow.”
Stay awake till tomorrow?
Dorothy remembered the night they registered their marriage and how he had drained her till she had to lean on the wall the next day, so she quickly shut up.
She survived the night, but in the morning, she was awakened by a kiss.
After seeing Everett’s magnified handsome face, Dorothy instinctively wanted to dodge, only to find her clothes missing.
“Mr. Lopez!”
He ignored her and continued with his business.
It wasn’t until she was out of breath from calling out his name that Everett let her go and get up to shower.
While listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, Dorothy felt like she was the one who got drunk last night How did she end up at

Bay Residence again?
“I had someone bring your clothes.” Everett walked out in a bathrobe and glanced at the woman on the bed. “Take the day off, cance your rental contract, pack your stuff, and bring it here.”
