Everett couldn't keep his gaze on her for too long, quickly averting his eyes.

She was afraid of receiving an answer she didn't want, afraid it might irritate Everett, but...

But she needed to know.

"Not sure."

"Yeah, Daddy, please come home tonight! I have so many questions for you."

With both kids pleading, it would seem suspicious if Everett refused, potentially raising Dorothy's suspicions.

A sudden coldness couldn't be too apparent.

"I'll come home after work, then."

"Yay! Awesome! I love you, Daddy!" Abigail cheered, planting a kiss on his cheek.
