"What are you talking about?"
Everett was confused, feeling as if Dorothy's words had some hidden meaning.
"It means exactly what it sounds like." Dorothy didn't want to bring this up; just thinking about the love bites on his skin made her saddened. "You don't have to explain. I understand."
Everett frowned. His gaze fixed on her delicate face. "When have I ever sought the company of another woman?"
He had always been chaste, to the point where even necessary interactions with females were unavoidable at work, he would retain a distance from them. But Dorothy assumed as though he was a playboy.
"How should I know when you did it?"
Everett's clueless expression only made Dorothy angrier, convincing her he was feigning! So she grew even more irritated. "Anyway, that's your business, not mine. You don't have to fake your purity. I'm not yours anyone - at best I'm your ex-wife. I have no say over your private life."
Strictly speaking, she had no right to question it even if Everett had been with a different woman every day for the past four years. It was just that seeing those marks made her heart ache.
"Wait a second!" Everett felt unfairly accused. "What am I faking for? I haven't been with anyone else! That's the truth."
"I said I didn’t mind. Why do you keep bringing this up?"
"Yes, I have to bring it up!"
Otherwise, how wronged would he feel? How wronged!
"Fine. But remember, you asked for this."
Dorothy really wanted to divert from this topic and not dwell on such matters. Even if he had been with other women, it didn't change the fact that he truly loved her, that he was willing to throw himself into harm's way for her. She'd be way too annoying if she kept fixating on it.
