After he dropped that bomb, he even paused, adding a considerate "Right?" at the end, as if to soften the blow.
Had Felicity not been there, Everett might have actually stood up to smack someone with his shoe!
It was clear he had been plotting this for a while.
Dorothy caught on too.
With a suppressed smile, she couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, you. Just hang in there for your son's happiness, will you?"
Everett knew he was cornered.
There was no way out.
But if he couldn't refuse, he could at least make his own demands.
That's Negotiation 101 for any businessman.
"I'll help you, but your mom has to agree to one thing for me, no conditions."
Miles raised an eyebrow, "What's that?"
"Don't worry about it. As long as your mom agrees, I'm in."
The ball was now in Dorothy's court. For Langston and Felicity's sake, she was bound to agree.
"Deal! You lovebirds don't worry about a thing. I'll cover the wedding expenses. Felicity, if you have any requests, anything you like, just let me know. A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, we can't skimp on it."
Felicity, acting every bit the demure bride-to-be, simply nodded without saying a word.
They chatted a bit more about the wedding until Karen called, ending their casual talk. Miles then drove her back to the K&J Mansion.
Once everyone had left, Everett got up to head back to the master bedroom to change.
Dorothy followed, asking curiously, "What was that condition you wanted me to agree to without any conditions?"
Everett, unbuttoning his shirt and flashing a sly smile, took her hand and placed it on his abs, "From now on, instead of every other day, we'll make it every day."
Dorothy had suspected as much!
She knew it had to be something like this, considering he wouldn't mention it in front of the kids!
