Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1007:

He remained calm in every situation, as if nothing could disturb him.

It made her think he was the type of man who kept his heart locked away, never allowing himself to truly love someone.

Finally breaking the silence, Everett said, “Marissa, please don’t doubt how I feel about you.

I may not always find the right words, but I understand my emotions deeply.

When I commit to someone, it’s for the long haul.”

Before Marissa could respond, he pressed on with unwavering resolve.

“My love for you isn’t just a fleeting thing.

I’ve been looking out for you for ten years.

My feelings have grown over that time, and nothing can change that.

Even if those children had come from a traditional marriage between you and Connor, it wouldn’t change how I feel.

I only blame myself for not protecting you better, for letting Connor get close when it should have been me.

That’s my fault, not yours.

Let me take on that weight.

Don’t worry about the kids.

If you want to raise them, I’m ready to be their father.”

Everett’s sincere words left Marissa feeling uneasy.

She started to reconsider her initial impression of him.

Maybe the calm exterior he showed was just hiding a kinder, warmer heart underneath.

That thought gnawed at her, filling her with guilt.

It could change everything.”

“Please, tell me,” Everett said gently.noveldrama

Marissa shifted in her seat, her unease clear.

“I might have more than just these two kids.

There could be other children, with different fathers and different stories…”

She glanced up at Everett and noticed the crease in his brow deepening—her words were hitting him harder than she had expected.

“I haven’t looked into how the organization got my eggs, how many of them they took, or if they’ve created other children using sperm from other men…”

After mentioning all the wild, awkward possibilities, Marissa fell quiet for a moment.

Then, with a serious look, she turned to Everett and said, “Everett, my future’s a minefield.

If we stick to this engagement, you’re signing up for things neither of us can predict.”
