Chapter 1084
"Ah? No wonder..."
"Is everything set with Kenneth?"
Everett had to strategize not just around Quincy but also keep an eye out for Kenneth, who was lurking behind, eyeing his position.
"Don't even start! After I spoke to them, Karen and Kenneth's mom were thrilled. They agreed right away, and Kenneth seemed okay with it too. But for some reason, Kenneth suddenly backed out." "...Backed out?"
"Yeah! Refuses to go to therapy now." If Everett hadn't asked, Jeffrey would've been too embarrassed to bring it up, "I don't know if he sensed something."
"Did Karen head over to Bay Residence?"
"Not sure, I'll give her a call. She probably did."Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Everett rubbed his temples, "Karen's not going to say anything good about me."
Jeffrey chuckled nervously. He knew that much!
Given how protective Karen was over Dorothy, if she found out Everett "cheated" with Quincy, she'd blow her top.
And just as they anticipated, when Dorothy called Karen in tears, Karen was fuming.
"Who's been messing with you? Don't cry, tell me, and I'll get back at them for you!"
Arriving at Bay Residence, Karen immediately hugged Dorothy. She rarely saw Dorothy this emotionally shattered. Even when troubled, she would usually hold it in! Something major must've happened to make her cry like this.
Dorothy didn't want to explain, didn't want to talk about her and Everett, she just wept.
Karen, putting on her thinking cap, quickly zeroed in on Everett.
"It's Everett, isn't it?"
Dorothy remained silent, but Karen clapped her hands, "I knew it must be him! Tell me, what happened, Dorothy?"
If it wasn't Everett upsetting Dorothy, then he would be the one comforting her, seeking revenge on her behalf. It wouldn't be Karen's place to support her best friend; Everett would be the one to react first. "We broke up..." Dorothy's eyes were swollen from crying, evoking pity, "He initiated it."
"Everett told you he wanted to break up?"
Dorothy nodded.
Karen immediately stood up, "You wait, I'm calling Jeffrey."
Dorothy quickly grabbed her, "No, don't! Karen, I just wanted someone to be with me for a while, not to confront anyone."
"But I need to know why, right? No offense, but my brother waited years for you, and you chose Everett. And now he's taking you for granted, even breaking up with you!"
Dorothy lowered her gaze, tears still hanging on her lashes.
"It's because of his mother..."
"Bullshit! His mother was the reason you lost your mom, not the other way around! Besides, that's all in the past now. Is he just finding out? His mom died from her illness, not because of you, Dorothy!" Why should Dorothy be blamed now?!
Dorothy held Karen back, not wanting her to confront anyone.
"Karen, who he wants to be with is his choice. If he doesn't love me anymore and wants to break up, I don't want to hold him back..."
Him and Quincy.
Dorothy couldn't bring herself to say the rest.
"What about the years he's wasted of yours, then?"
