Her mother actually called Kenneth directly? Dorothy's eyebrows were about to tangle into a knot. A wave of anger in her chest was on a rampage, threatening to burst out! The feeling of being controlled and coerced in everything was really infuriating her.

"You just went and contacted him without even telling me?! | already told you he's really busy. He only agreed to save your dignity!” "Are you questioning me?" Bella's temper flared up on the other end. "Who do you think I'm doing all this for?! You just went and got married without even telling your own mother! | should be the one pissed off here! | just want him to do more for you, to spend more time with you. What's wrong with that?!" Dorothy slammed the phone down, the loud bang echoing in the room.

There it was again.

All for her own good! But what did it mean to be for her own good? Was it whatever she thought was good? Dorothy tried to reassure herself, not wanting to be affected by those things. After all, her mom’s upcoming surgery was the primary concern.

After a moment's pause, she called Kenneth.

Soon, a soothing and warm voice came through.

"I was just about to call you. How come a gentleman named Kevin contacted me today?" "It's like this, because your project is a key one. The company, to be safe, decided to assign a more competent person to communicate with you." Kenneth chuckled, "I think your capability is already enough.” "Thanks for the compliment." Dorothy hadn't forgotten how he helped her with the water the previous night. "And thanks for last night! | was in such a rush for the meeting that | didn't get a chance to thank you properly.” "That was nothing. It was just a piece of cake.” Kenneth had guessed the purpose of her call. It definitely wasn't to chat about such trivial things. "About your mom's surgery, I've agreed to be there." The mention of that gave Dorothy a headache.

"Sorry about that. | didn't expect her to go over my head and contact you directly.” "It's fine. In her eyes, I'm her son-in-law. Isn't it a given that | accompany my mother-in-law for her surgery?" He said that, but Dorothy felt uncomfortable.

She thought that once the last scene was over, everything would have been all right! She didn't expect that twist.

"You don't have to go that day. | can explain it to her myself. Everything's ready, and the money's been spent, so she can't back out." "Dorothy," Kenneth called her so smoothly since he changed the way he addressed her. "If my going can relieve her worries, even make her happy, why not? I'm free this weekend anyway." "But..." "We don't need to make it so clear-cut. Just think of me as a friend doing a small favor." Dorothy thought for a moment but still declined.

"Once you tell a lie, you have to cover it up with countless more. | don't have the time to maintain the lies I've told before. Better to let her know the truth sooner.” On the other end of the phone, there was a long silence before Kenneth sighed.

"All right, I'll do as you say. If anything comes up, feel free to call me." "Mmm, thank you." After hanging up, Dorothy finally noticed a message from Heather.

Because she was on a call, the message had just arrived.

[Sorry to bother you, but do you know the size of Everett's clothes? I'm afraid | might buy a size too small and it'll be tight on him]
