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

It took Dorothy a moment of internal struggle before she could voice her question.

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

But she needed to know.

"Not sure."

"Daddy, can you come home tonight, please?" Abigail piped up, voicing the question Dorothy didn't dare to ask.

Langston was a clever one; he had sensed something off between their parents when Kevin hinted at pretending to be sick.

Seeing that they might have had a fight, he reluctantly decided to play along.

"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.
