My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 3187

Chapter 3187

Everett felt extremely low, the lowest he's ever been since coming back to San Joto, all thanks to Doretta before him.

"I have nowhere else to go. If you don't help me, I might just turn myself in," Doretta said, desperately trying to make Everett react.

"Do you think I care if you turned yourself in? Once I ran from the police, I knew I couldn't go back," Everett said angrily, upset that she was trying to threaten him.

When Doretta saw her threat didn't work, she stood up, ready to leave, saying, "I'll go out now."

"You crazy woman," Everett snapped. He grabbed her, seething with frustration.

"Let me go!" Doretta struggled.

"Stay put," Everett warned her sternly.

While they were arguing, they heard a voice from outside. "Did you hear that noise?"

Another voice asked, "Really?"

Right away, Everett and Doretta stopped moving and held their breath.

Someone seemed to wait outside for a bit, then, hearing no more sounds, moved on.

"Why did it stop? I'm sure I heard something."

"It's quiet; you must've been mistaken."

"Perhaps."

Once the footsteps were gone, Everett and Doretta breathed out in relief. They looked at each other, deciding to pause their argument.

Everett looked at Doretta with a calculating expression, as though he was thinking up a plan.

Doretta was biting her lip, glaring at Everett with anger, as if he had wrecked her life and owed her everything.

As night came, Aquila helped Everett and Doretta out of the storage room.

"Sir, I was being watched and could only come to help you now," Aquila said.

"It's fine, let's get out of here," Everett replied, sounding tired but glad to be leaving. "What about her?" Aquila asked, looking doubtfully at Doretta who was following them. Everett looked at her and decided, Bring her along." He thought she might still be useful. Doretta didn't speak but seemed relieved, following them quietly.

At the same time, the Riddle family's home was full of life.

The family members were all in the living room, enjoying each other's company.

Nolan and Lana were cuddling up to Benjamin, their great-grandfather, showing him love.

Benjamin adored the two kids, showing them warmth and affection.

"Dad, we're about to welcome another baby soon. It's going to be even

more joyful," Karen said, smiling.

Hearing this, Benjamin turned to Daniel and Gloria and asked, "Is Sally about to give birth?"

"Yes, she's almost due. Steve's with her at the hospital, so they couldn't come," Gloria answered.

"Let them be there and stay calm," Benjamin said, nodding.

"Karen, now that Ell ar has a girlfriend, Preston is the only single one left, isn't he? Maybe give him a little push," Emma suggested.

Karen sighed. "I would if I could. But even today, he's not here."

Everyone was there, except for Steve and his wife, who were expecting a baby, and Preston, who was notably absent.
