LittleNovelChapter 1735 "Sweetie, I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life. It's your choice, and I'll always support whatever you decide! The only thing I hope is that you don't carry any baggage or hang-ups about marriage. If something's weighing on you, you can always talk to me, okay? Maybe just chatting with your old mom will help you sort things out." Dorothy had always been this way-never the type to meddle in her kids' decisions. Whether it was Abigail's wedding back in the day, or the divorce later on, Dorothy was always there to listen and offer advice, but the final call was never hers to make.
After all, it's your own life. Only you know what's best, and what hurts.

But don't worry, if someone right comes along, I don't have any emotional scars holdingback." "That's all I needed to hear!" Dorothy grinned, nudging Everett. "You have no idea -your dad doesn't call you himself but nagsabout you every day! Last week he even blamedfor not caring enough!" Everett hurried to defend himself. "Blyou? I'd never! I was just reminding you, that's all." The truth was, Everett worried about his daughter, but as a dad, it always felt awkward to pry into her love life- so he nudged Dorothy to check in for him.
"Dad, Mom, I know you care about me. Don't worry! I'm a grown woman now, and I have my own son to look after. I'm just focusing on my career right now I know what I'm doing." "Abigail, if you ever run into any trouble, you know you can cto me." Everett's voice was serious, all jokes set aside. "Whatever it is, I'll help you figure it out." Aurora glanced at her father and sighed, pulling him aside for a private word. "Dad, be honest with me... Do you still feel guilty aboutand Langston?" She could see it-how he always worried if she was holding onto anything, and as his daughter, she understood what was going on in his mind.
Everett's eyes flicked to Dorothy, his lips pressed together. "I owe you both, I always will." Back then, it was Dorothy raising two kids on her own. Everett hadn't forgotten for a moment how tough that must've been. No matter what he did he always felt he couldn't make up for the years his kids missed out on having a dad around.
"We're family, Dad. Let's not talk about owing anymore. You've worried aboutand my brother our whole lives-honestly, we never felt a lack of love from you. I promise!" Aurora squeezed his hand, giving it a playful shake. "Back when we were little, I barely remember those years anyway! Mom was the real superhero. My brother and I were always looked after, we never went without." They didn't have everything srich families did, but her mom gave them her all.
"Your mom... I'll never stop feeling like I owe her," Everett said softly.
Being able to marry her, to build a life together, was more than Everett had ever dreamed of. Snights even now, he'd wake up from a dream terrified it was all just and illusion-that marrying Dorothy was something he'd only imagined.

"You and Mom have been together for decades. We're a family. Can We please retire the whole 'I owe you' thing?"
Aurora had just finished speaking m when her phone buzzedine M pocket. She glanced down-Craig was calling.
She didn't really want to answer. But Craig rarely called unless something was actually wrong. "Hey, what's up?" "Aurora... My mom... she just passed away."
