Karen was starting to wonder if Jeffrey had bugged her own home! Because the next second, she heard Jeffrey's voice outside, "Karen, I know you're in there. Stop pretending you're not home, will ya?" Dorothy, lost in thought at Jeffrey's voice from outside, couldn't help but reflect on how people differ from one another.
Everett, she reckoned, would never pull a stunt like that in his life.
In this situation, he'd probably just wait downstairs. And if she didn't show, he'd just keep waiting.
"Karen, go out and see him, will ya? His knocking is gonna tick off the neighbors sooner or later." "But I don't know what to say to him!" "Say whatever comes to mind, and if you got nothing to say, then don't say a word. He'll get the picture eventually and back off." Karen understood Dorothy's point. She was just being considerate of the little life growing inside her.
Urging her to think twice about it, to avoid any future regrets.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Karen had made up her mind! Indecision brings chaos, and it was better to have a short misery than a long one. With her temperament, a year and a half down the line, she might not even remember what Jeffrey looked like.
"Dorothy, I used to think I could handle a wayward man. As long as he turned over a new leaf, all would be well. But now, I'm thinking that the whole thing just isn't realistic. He's let too many people down, and who knows when he'll have to pay the piper.
And then, where would that leave me?" "If you've cto terms with it, then I've got nothing more to say. Let's eat." "Mhm." Karen ignored the persistent knocking and turned to join Dorothy in the dining room.
It wasn't long before the knocking stopped.
Dorothy shot her a glance and suggested, "Looks like Jeffrey might have left. How about we go for a walk after dinner, get sfresh air? You've been cooped up all day, and I've been buried in lawyer meetings. Could use a breather." "Sure!" Karen agreed without a second thought.
Dorothy sighed quietly, her gaze flicking towards the door.
Hopefully, he was just tired of knocking and taking a break.
If Jeffrey really had left, there was nothing more she could do.
Dorothy could see that Karen genuinely liked Jeffrey, and their relationship didn't have the obstacles like Dorothy's with Everett did. Search the FindNøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
If Jeffrey could win Karen back, it would be like witnessing a love story cfull circle.
After dinner, the night had fully set in.
Dorothy grabbed a teal jacket and stepped out with Karen for a walk.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce they reached the lobby of the apartment building, she scanned the area.
No sign of anyone.
Had Jeffrey truly left? "What are you looking at?" Karen noticed Dorothy's distraction.
Dorothy waved it off, "Nothing, just thinking how old this building's gotten. The facilities are showing their age. Tellabout it! Got this place back when it was all about job convenience. How many years has it been since we left the Prosperity Consortium!" Chatting away, they continued their walk.
Suddenly, a dark figure dashed up from behind! Before Karen couldn react, Jeffrey had already grabbed her.
"Karen, did you cdown to see me?" "Let go. I'm not here to see you!" "I "I won't let go!" Jeffrey quickly pulled out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, smoothing it out to show Karen, "This is the paternity test for Paige's kid. Her child isn't mine!" X
