Babel Novel
Chapter 1185
To fit into his school uniform, Everett had made a point of just washing his hair and letting it dry naturally, letting his thick, short locks fall where they may.
Standing there, he looked every bit the tall, graceful teenager he was pretending to be.
Soon, he'd sling his backpack over his shoulder, grab his textbooks, and head back to school to work on some assignments.
"Does wearing this make me look like I'm trying to be younger?" Everett played along with her fantasy of school uniform role-play, not even worried about bumping into a business associate while dressed like this.
"You're not pretending at all! Who would guess you're a dad of two?"
"Really? Can't tell?" Everett raised an eyebrow, taking a moment to check his reflection in the rearview mirror.
There was a difference, however slight, from his teenage years.
Back then, he was so innocent! The most he'd dared was a stealthy touch of a girl's fingertip while borrowing a pen.
And that would have his heart racing for an entire class period before calming down!
Now?
Well, now he was far from those innocent days.
"You can't tell, I swear!" Dorothy raised her hand solemnly.
Everett decided to take her word for it.
But then...
"What about your uniform?"
She had chosen an all-black outfit for herself, very understated.
With a hat and a mask, she might be mistaken for a celebrity trying to go incognito.
"If I wore a uniform too, wouldn't that be like actual puppy love? I just want to hide your identity. That way, even if Quincy saw us on the street, she'd never guess it was you and me." "Just to hide my identity?"
"Well, not just that! Also, to fulfill a dream of yours."
With that, Dorothy placed her hand in Everett's palm and squeezed, "Didn't you always want to experience what puppy love was like? I didn't understand it when I was in my teens, but I do now. I hope it's not too late."
Seeing her take the initiative, Everett couldn't help but smile.
It was unusual for him, but he liked this side of Dorothy!
"Let's go!"
Dorothy led the way, hand in hand with Everett, who followed at his own leisurely pace, his eyes almost glowing with affection.
Although he maintained his distinguished demeanor, his thoughts were far from noble...
This school uniform was a great idea! He would have to get Dorothy one as well.
Not for public wear, of course, but for private moments in the bedroom!

After buying two milkshakes, Dorothy stopped in front of a claw machine.
"Do you know how to work this?"
One hand holding a milkshake, the other clasped by her, he raised an eyebrow, "Nope."
Everett had seen them before but
never played. His student days were filled with studying, and since he never secretly dated Dorothy back then, he missed out on these typical dating activities.
"Finally, something you don't know how to do! Here, hold these for me,

and I'll grab you something." Dorothy handed her milkshake to him and dashed off to get some coins.
Watching her back, Everett felt as if Dorothy was truly reliving her girlhood.
But that wasn't quite right....
During her actual youth, she wasn't like this at all.
Perhaps now, she was finally showing how she should have been back then.
Everett smiled to himself, glancing down at the half-finished strawberry milkshake in his hand, then took a sip.
Too sweet.
The strawberry flavor was strong.
But... he liked it.
