Seeing Kenneth, Dorothy jogged over.

"You didn't have to cpickup, you know. Just dropa pin next time. I can find my way with GPS, no matter how tricky the route." "Oh, alright, next tI'll just send you the location," replied Kenneth, a hint of a smile on his lips as he opened the passenger door for her. Once she was settled in, he circled to the driver's seat and started the engine.

The car hummed to life, and Dorothy spoke with gentle concern, "Kenneth, could you... maybe go easy on Karen and Jeffrey today? Karen's been so scared of you these past few days, hiding out and not even daring to get in touch with her family. I don't think that's what you want, is it?" Kenneth's hands rested on the steering wheel, his gaze deepening. "Dorothy, you know better than anyone what kind of man Jeffrey is." "I do, but people deserve a chance to turn over a new leaf, right? He hasn't done anything that bad, has he?" "Why did Karen break up with him in the first place then?" Dorothy hesitated, pursing her lips. "Just a little misunderstanding between lovers. Karen toldall about it. They cleared it up and got back together." "Karen is my cousin. I see her as my sister, and I know her well. She wouldn't say "break up' over nothing serious. She gave Jeffrey her heart, I know that, but a split-up is never that simple." Dorothy didn't know how to respond to that.

"Is there something you're holding back, Dorothy? You might as well tellnow so I'm prepared." Taking advantage of a red light, Kenneth turned to look at Dorothy.

"I think it's best if Karen tells you herself." The news of the pregnancy wasn't hers to share.

Getting too involved in their affairs wasn't right. If Karen needed her, she would speak up. For now, Karen hadn't told Kenneth, and Dorothy didn't want to mess things up.

"Okay, I won't press you on it," Kenneth said, his expression softening with a smile.

They reached the restaurant soon after, a cozy place tucked away on a quaint street, not hard to find at all. Dorothy spotted Jeffrey's car parked curbside, which was hard to miss.

She looked up and saw the displeasure on Kenneth's face.

"Kenneth, it's your birthday today. Let's not spoil it for everyone. If Karen has set her heart on Jeffrey, he's still going to be family." Her words seemed to mellow him out.

"Yeah, don't worry. I invited you to celebrate, and I won't make things awkward for you." Dorothy nodded, and they entered the restaurant together, heading for the private dining room Kenneth had reserved, anticipating the need for a more personal space for conversations.

Upon entering, they found the room eerily empty.

"Karen must have stepped out; her jacket's still here," Dorothy said, pointing at the white coat draped over a chair.

"Yeah." Kenneth pulled out a chair for Dorothy before settling down next to her. search the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

When Jeffrey returned, assisting a pale-faced Karen, they found Dorothy and Kenneth sitting side by side.

Truth be told, if Jeffrey hadn't known about Dorothy and Everett, he might have mistaken Dorothy and Kenneth for a couple! "What's wrong? You feeling okay?" Kenneth rose instantly, concern etched on his face as he supported Karen on the other side. "I'm fine, really, Kenneth," Karen reassured him, weakly taking her seat beside Jeffrey.

Kenneth shot a glance between his sister and Jeffrey, his brow furrowed in disapproval, "How have you been e taking care of Karen?" pL "Don't blhim, Kenneth! It's me... I, I'm pregnant. I just went to deal with morning sickness." X
