Chapter 1433
"Such a catch for a son-in-law, I bet there are plenty of girls eyeing him up! Our daughter must be on edge all the time!" "Like no one's got their eye on Everett? Haven't seen him with another girl his whole life!"
Karen always had a way of putting Jeffrey in his place with just a few words, leaving him with nothing but a wry smile. After all, his youthful indiscretions had given her plenty of ammunition...
Not too far away, Kevin was pushing Langston's wheelchair, with Abigail in her floral dress trailing beside them.
"Mom! Dad!"
Abigail knew how to play it cute. The moment she saw Everett, she dashed over.
"Mr. Lopez." Kevin's gaze first met Mr. Lopez's, then shifted to Dorothy, his eyes sparkling with mirth, "How's it going, Mrs. President?"novelbin
"...You can just call me Ms. Sanchez, you know. 'Mrs. President' sounds so stiff!"
"On a day like today, we gotta switch it up! You'll get used to it."
"She's here, but she's too nervous to come over." Kevin chuckled awkwardly, "I told her Mrs. President here is Mr. Lopez's treasure, not to be trifled with. So, she's scared she might say something wrong and upset you, and now... she refuses to come over!"
Dorothy laughed it off, "Kevin, did you come by yourself? Where's your girlfriend?"
"Don't make me out to be some bogeyman! Am I really that scary?" Dorothy looked past him and caught sight of a girl with a sweet face, looking incredibly uneasy at the entrance of the banquet, "Go on, bring her over! Mr. Lopez and I would love to meet her." For Dorothy, Kevin had always felt like a friend, practically family!
It was only him who seemed to insist on keeping a sense of hierarchy.
Even Everett chimed in, "Since she's here for the wedding, it's hardly gentlemanly to leave her by herself."
Kevin grinned, "Alright, I'll go fetch her!"

As he turned and walked away, Langston in the wheelchair looked up at his mom, "Kevin and his girlfriend are so into each other! thought being around you and dad was mushy enough, but those two take it to another level!"
Everett lightly flicked his son's forehead, "That's called being in love, not mushy."
"Sure, sure, you're the adult, what you say goes."
Soon after, Kevin came back with his girlfriend, who still looked quite embarrassed and hardly dared to make eye contact with Everett and Dorothy.
Dorothy quickly stepped forward, taking the girl's hand warmly, "When I first started at Lopez Corporation, Kevin showed me the ropes, so he's kind of my mentor! If you don't mind, consider me a friend. Everett and I aren't as scary as Kevin makes us out to be!"
The girl nodded, visibly nervous.
Dorothy understood how she felt.
Wo
Even for an employee at Lopez Corporation, suddenly speaking to Everett up close would be nerve-wracking.
"Have you set a date yet?" Everett inquired, looking at Kevin.
"We have! Our wedding's coming up soon." Kevin, beaming with
happiness, took his girlfriend's band, "And we have Mr. Lopez to thank for our wedding gift - a house!"
"It's the least you deserve."
Without Kevin, Everett would have been lost, buried in endless work.
A wedding photographer approached them, gesturing for a group shot, "How about a picture together?"
Dorothy nodded enthusiastically, "Absolutely! Let's all get in the picture."
