"I have a burning question." Jeffrey glanced at his sleeping buddy, Langston. "Are you sure that kid Dorothy had is a girl? Not a boy?" "It's a girl. I've seen her." "Are you sure? Could it be that he was so pretty that you mistook her for a girl?" Lane wasn't sure why Jeffrey was asking, but he knew for sure that Dorothy had a girl.
"No way. Do you think I'm an idiot?" "Oh... well, guess not then." Jeffrey just wanted to confirm. He figured if Dorothy's child looked like Everett, Lane would have told him by now. Lane knew Jeffrey was close with Everett, and he had seen him before.
"What are you even talking about?" As soon as he heard Dorothy's name, Lane was wide awake.
He was worried that something he said might have given Jeffrey a clue.
"Not much. I just realized that Everett might have a secret child.” Jeffrey's careless remark made Lane's heart skip a beat. "How... how could that be? Isn't Mr. Lopez a very disciplined man? He's never been involved in any scandals in the business world, so where would a secret child come from?" "I would have said the same before seeing that kid. I know Everett very well. But after seeing that child, I had no doubts that he was Everett's." The resemblance was uncanny.
"Did you see the child?" "Yes. He is right next to me." "Aboy?" Jeffrey nodded. "Definitely a boy. I gave him a bath last night. I'm absolutely sure. That's why I asked you if you were sure that Dorothy's child was a girl, not a boy." "It's a girl, and she doesn't look like Everett." "Alright, I must be overthinking." Lane chuckled, feeling a bit relieved.
From this perspective, it seemed that Everett didn't love Dorothy that much after all. He could still have a secret child, so he must be quite a player. He was just pretending to be deeply in love.
"You don't need to be shocked. He's a powerful man; there are many women who want to share his bed. He can refuse once or twice, but could he resist every time? If something happens, there's a chance of pregnancy. If a woman gets pregnant, it's like hitting the jackpot; she definitely wouldn't have an abortion.” So, that was how the secret child came about.
"You're right, but I'm still surprised that he would... you know, with other women..." Jeffrey grimaced. "Guess love is a lie. I'll stick to the game of life. I don't understand adult games." "What's so surprising? Aren't you a man, Jeffrey?" "Yes, but Everett really loves Dorothy." "A man's body and heart are separate. They've been divorced for years, so it's normal to have desires. This could mean that your buddy is gradually moving on from the past. Isn't that a good thing?" Jeffrey thought for a moment, then nodded. "I guess it's a good thing. I think he's more shell-shocked by suddenly having a son right now." "Shell-shocked? Didn't he know who he slept with?"
