That was a natural human thing and there was nothing wrong with it.

But...

"I mean, con, there's only one Dorothy, and either you or Everett is gonna end up the lonely old cat person. I'm really hoping it's you, buddy." Everett was always flying solo. Now that he was in a relationship and even got two kids of his own. Jeffrey didn't dare to mess with this because he had no death wish.

After leaving the diner, Dorothy declined Kenneth's offer to give her a lift home.

Night had already fallen, and it just wouldn't do for them to be seen together, a man and a woman alone. Especially since Dorothy had no idea how many eyes Everett had out there.

"Let's just drive you home, then! Jeffrey, it's on your way to drop Dorothy off at her apartment, right?" Karen wouldn't rest easy until her best friend was safe at home, so she shot Jeffrey a meaningful look.

He quickly nodded, "Totally on my way! Absolutely!" It would always be on his way to drop her off as long as they were in this country's realm. And if they were abroad, he'd hire a private jet to send her home. "Alright then, I'll head off," Kenneth said with a wave, grabbing his car keys and not insisting further.

After he left, Karen sidled up to Dorothy and whispered, "What's going on with you and Kenneth?" "I wish I knew." Dorothy hadn't eavesdropped on the men's conversation and could only sense that something was off with Kenneth when he returned.

Karen then turned her gaze to Jeffrey. "What did you guys talk about?" "Uh... just, you know, shooting the breeze." With Dorothy there, Jeffrey wasn't about to spill the beans. Sear*ch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"What could Kenneth possibly have to chat with you about?" Karen frowned, tugging at his sleeve, "So did he agree to help us out?" Jeffrey shook his head, "No dice." "What's his condition? Why didn't you just agree?" "Because I'm not ready to kick the bucket." Seeing that Jeffrey seemed to be hiding something, probably not wanting her to know, Dorothy stepped in and took Karen by the arm, "I have to work tomorrow, so let's just gethome. You can grill him after." "Fine." When they pulled up to Dorothy's apartment building, she waved them off and reminded them of a few pregnancy precautions before finally stepping out of the car.

As soon as Dorothy was out of earshot, Karen burst out, "What did Kenneth actually say?" "He wants to go after Dorothy." "And then what? I know that! He's been at it for years, so it's hardly a secret." Jeffrey let out a heavy sigh that contained a mix of frustration and resignation, “He wantedto pick sides between him and Everett." Karen was taken aback and falling silent.

"That's why I couldn't agree to that! It's plain as day how much Everett loves Dorothy. I'm not blind; I can see it." Karen nodded in agreement; rubbing her temples, she added, "So what's Kenneth to do? Chasing Dorothy isn't new. If she was interested, she'd have said yes by now. She won't be giving no answers after all he invested in." "Your brother... he's a hopeless romantic," Jeffrey affirmed him about this. But perhaps Dorothy was a bit out of his league.

Of all the people to fall for, he had to compete with Everett.

"Jeffrey, you won't tell Everett about this, will you?" Karen hesitated before her tone softened, a blend of om da pleading and coquettishness, "Kenneth is still my family, and I'm scared of what Everett might do if he finds out." Karen had been frightened since Jeffrey's last madcap episode.

Kenneth was no match for Everett. Hell, he couldnt even hold a candle to e Jeffrey.

If Everett wanted to get at Kenneth, it would be a piece of cake! "Alright, I'll keep it under wrapsXBut you'd better tell your brother to keep it together. If do Everett decides to act, there's nothing I can do to stop him.” X
