Chapter 141

Dorothy chewed on that sentence over and over again before finally getting the gist of it.

“So, you weren’t drunk?”

The absurdity of it all made Everett laugh at himself Wasnt he clear enough? Could she really not see

what was going on in his heart?

“Yes. I was completely sober when I knocked on your door that night.”

“But don’t you have someone you like? Dorothy stammered.

She had seen the interview video Karen had sent her with her own eyes. In the video, Everett admitted

that he had feelings for a woman.

“Can’t that woman be you?”

Dorothy froze on the spot.

Was Everett confessing his feelings for her?

“From the very beginning, when I received your text message, knocked on your door, and proposed a

marriage agreemert, I had planned it all.”

When he saw Dorothy among a crowd o

on a business trip, he had already started scheming about how to get close to her.

Then he received her text message and figured she was probably drunk. Despite his hesitation, he

decided to seize the opportunity.

Missing his opportunity to be braver when he was young was something he didn’t ke to mention.

But, on that day, everything aligned, it was as if the universe were giving him a gift. So, when the

chance was laid out right in front of him, he had no reason to hesitate anymore.

He decided to start by sweeping her off her feet, then make her his. He thought this was the best way

to win her over.

Noticing that Dorothy was in a daze. Everett suddenly grabbed her hand

“Come with me”

He led Dorothy to his car and drove her back to Bay Residence. He went to the study and pulled out a

letter from a neatly arranged stack of middle school textbooks.

Dorothy recognized it.

Wasn’t this the letter she had accidentally found before? It even had 0825 written on it

“What is this?”

“Open it and see.”

With a puzzled glance at him, Dorothy tore open the envelope.

The first sentence of the letter read, “Dorothy, my deskmate.”

The letter was so old that the edges of the letters were a bit blurry, but the strong, conf dent strokes

were clearly Everett’s

“Is this letter for me?”

“Yes, I gave it to you?

“But I don’t remember” No matter how hard Dorothy tried, she couldn’t recall any instances of

interacting with Everett alone.

She even remembered that they rarely spoke to each other,

Despite being desknates, she always kept her distance from him. She actually wanted the teacher to

reshuffle the seating arrangement and put her at the very back of the class. She didn’t want to be near

him and his crowd of admirers, who were constantly chattering and delivening love letters, asking her

to pass these messages to hem. She didn’t want to feel like a country bumpkin sitting next to the

school’s heartthrob, making him look even more handsome and esteemed and making her feel even

more pathetic and poor.

“You just forgot This envelope was actually returned to me by you”

When Everett left the letter on her desk back then, he spent the whole class nervously waiting. When

he was called out to play basketball after class, he returned to find her holding the letter. Her eyebrows

were knitted together as she tossed it back onto his desk impatiently.

From then on, they never spoke again. Everett would always leave the classroom for the playground as

soon as

class ended.

“I probably didn’t know it was from you” Dorolly realized that was the only possible explanation. “There

were so many love letters for you at that time. They were all over my desk, so L‘

“So you thought this was another love letter for me from someone else?”
