"Everett!" Karen's voice pitched up in surprise, "How cyou're hanging out with Dorothy..." Jeffrey quipped back without missing a beat, "You'd only be shocked if she was with another guy, right?" "... Suppose you're right." Since Karen was heavily pregnant and found it hard to move around, Everett had Kevin drive them to the restaurant.
Settled down, Karen began to frown at the sight of Dorothy.
"Are you punishing yourself? Dorothy, if you keep losing weight like this, I'll have Jeffrey tie you up and bring you to my place. I'll make sure you eat every day!" Jeffrey, who was in the middle of a drink, coughed twice and smirked, "No need for tying up! Who dares to mess with that?" Karen shot him a glare, leaving Jeffrey close his mouth.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDiscuss tying Dorothy up in front of Everett? Was he looking for trouble? "Are you hungry? How about something to drink? Milk?" Everett was unperturbed by their banter, his concern solely on Dorothy. He knew she didn't feel like eating, but in front of Karen, she didn't want to show her discomfort.
Dorothy nodded slightly and said, "Okay." Karen, ever straightforward, wanted to press on.
Everett timely intervened, "She's not feeling well. Let's change the subject." With that, even the least observant could grasp the situation.
"Right! Let's talk about something else! Karen and I went for a prenatal checkup today. We're having a daughter! Everett, lettell you, if your son ever thinks about whisking away my daughter, you better prepare a hefty dowry!" Everett chuckled, readily agreeing, "Sure thing." "I'm not joking! We might be buddies, but when it comes to my daughter's wedding, it has to be grand!" "Jeffrey, the baby isn't even born yet, and you're thinking way ahead!" Karen could barely stop herself from rolling her eyes at him.
Jeffrey shrugged. "Of course, I have to think ahead! Ah, just the thought of marrying off my daughter one day... My heart feels so cold!" "Just pray your daughter doesn't end up with a man like you." Karen's casual remark made Jeffrey suddenly remember something Arthur had said.
Jeffrey, oh Jeffrey, karma is a real hing! Aren't you getting engaged? I'l be here waiting for the day you have Saughter. I can't wait for her to be ›layed by men, then abandoned, jus ke how you played with Paige!" Just recalling these words gave Jeffrey goosebumps.
No way! He had to find Arthur and make that jerk take back his curse! Or else, he'd kill Arthur himself! "Feeling really bad?" Everett didn't interrupt their conversation, instead, he turned to Dorothy and asked softly. He could tell she wasn't in a good state. Dorothy shook her head. "Don't worry about me." She was forcing herself to interact more with the outside world.
Trying to observe and learn from the way Jeffrey and Karen were with each other, to feel the good things in this world.

"Okay, I'm going to the restroom for a bit." Everett gently tapped her shoulder before standing up to leave.
He left his phone on the table.
Soon, the screen lit up a few times.
No details were visible, except that someone kept sending him messages, one after another.
