"Yeah, right!" Jeffrey hadn't even realized what was going on before he blurted out an answer.

Everett paused for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "When's Kenneth getting here?" "What are you talking about?" "Didn't Kenneth ask you to set up a meal with Dorothy?" Jeffrey suddenly understood, paused for a few seconds, and then began to laugh so hard he had to clutch his belly. He felt like he could roll on the floor laughing! "I was just pulling your leg! You took that seriously? Everett, for all your smarts, you sure had a blonde moment! Couldn't you tell from my tone?" "Get lost." Everett was about to hang up when Jeffrey told him to stay, "Hey! Don't be so quick to get mad, man! I'm just looking out for you.

Look, Karen and I are expecting and we've tied the knot. And you're still flying solo, buddy. I'm just concerned about you!" "Concerned about me?" "Yeah! Don't you get a little envious seeing Karen andso in tune?" Everett let out a snort, "Envious, huh? So envious that you're coming to Liberty City tomorrow. Got a job for you to take over, lasting a year." "What?!" Jeffrey's eyes bulged as he shouted, "No way, man! I don't want to leave Eldorria City! Karen's still pregnant. That's just cruel, dude!" "Hmm, I guess I'm just too envious of your harmonious duo." There was only silence on the other end.

"Still want to say something like 'in tune'?" Jeffrey quickly let out an appeasing laugh, "Nope, nope, we actually fight all the time! Man, looking after a pregnant lady is tough work. I think being single like you is the life! I envy you!" "Cut the crap. Don't sendany more goofy messages." "Heh, you got it, Mr. Lopez!" After hanging up, Jeffrey patted his chest in relief.

That was a close one! He thought Everett was serious.

That guy was just too intimidating; it was better not to stir the pot.

When Jeffrey returned, Karen blinked at him, "What did Everett want? Was it still about a job?" "Nah, he just wanted to letknow how sour he feels now." Dorothy looked up at him, not quite getting his meaning. Search The Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Jeffrey grinned and casually helped Dorothy clean up the dishes, "Everett's work in Liberty City will wrap up in three days, then he'll probably be back." Dorothy's hands paused involuntarily.

Jeffrey surely saw it. So he deliberately asked, "Hey, how about we bring Abigail and Langston and all head to a resort for a bit of fun when Everett gets back? The kids would love it! Let's hit up the one in Everglow City. You're pretty familiar with that resort, right, Dorothy? It was practically your baby project!" Karen immediately chimed in and clapped her hands, "That sounds great! I haven't seen those two in ages; I miss them to bits." Dorothy tugged at her lip, looking down, "You guys go ahead, I'll pass. Got too much work." "Don't you miss the kids?" "Of course, I do. I'll just pick them up from Everett's then." As for going to the resort, that was tantamount to a group vacation, which could be awkward.

Jeffrey and Karen were a couple and would naturally stick together. And for her and Everett, the ex-husband and ex-wife, sharing meals and accommodations would be inconvenient.

"Dorothy! Don't be a party pooper!" Karen rushed over, tugging at her hand and pouting, "Think about it, when was the last twe got to hang out? Once I have the baby, I'll have even less tto go out! Do it for me, will you?" "But I" "Are you still hung up on Everett, Dorothy? Is that why you're afraid to go? Afraid you won't be able to control yourself?" Dorothy was taken aback.

Jeffrey squinted and smiled, "If that's not the case, why refuse? Isn't it good to give Abigail and Langston more memories with both parents around?" X
