Chapter 1345
Hearing Karen's words, Dorothy was torn between laughter and tears.
It was clear to see that Karen had way too much time on her hands, spending her days plotting away!
"Do you think... Everett will be mad when he finds out?" Dorothy, always one to overthink, was internally conflicted about going through with such a plan.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"No way!" Karen replied with certainty, "How could Everett ever be mad at you?"
Her response came naturally, without a hint of hesitation, as if it were a universally acknowledged truth.
Right...
Why would Everett be mad at Dorothy?
After all, he had forgiven her for far more serious matters in the past.
"Dorothy, this is also about wanting Everett to have no regrets, right? If it were solely up to you, I reckon you wouldn't even be thinking about having another child."
"Yeah, not being able to watch two kids grow up has always been a sore spot for Everett."
Even the slightest mention of it seemed to reopen old wounds.
Karen patted her shoulder, "Go for it! You two have such great genes, it'd be a waste not to have more kids!"
Dorothy smiled, glancing at Karen's gradually growing belly, and gently asked, "Are you planning on having another boy with Jeffrey?"
After all...
Though the Turners and the Lopezes might be in a different league, they were still prominent families. Jeffrey being an only child, Dorothy could understand if his parents wanted a son to inherit the family fortune.
At the mention, Karen immediately waved her hand, "Unless it's a surprise, we weren't planning on this one either!"
"And your in-laws..."
"Speaking of which, my in-laws are
one in a million! They've never interfered with whether we have a
boy or a girl! Especially my mother-in-law, she was thrilled when she found out we're having another girl, said she was scared we have a boy who'd turn out like his dad! Always up to no good, causing trouble for his parents."
Thinking of Jeffrey, Dorothy could still recall the scene at the hospital where he was protecting Heather.
In the blink of an eye...
He and Karen were about to welcome their second daughter.
Fate really works in mysterious ways.
Who would have thought Jeffrey would end up tamed by a wildcat like Karen?
"Seeing you and Jeffrey so happy, I think Kenneth can rest in peace too."
Every time Kenneth was mentioned, Karen would fall into a rare silence.
It wasn't
of heat Dorothy wanted to
bring it up at such times, but in front
of her best friend, she felt no need to hold back her thoughts.
"My brother was stubborn! No matter how many times our family told him to find a girlfriend, he wouldn't listen! And when he finally seemed to have found Eleanor.: then this whole mess happened!" Karen waved it off, "Let's leave it at that. What's done is done, and maybe this was the best outcome for him."
He would never have Dorothy in his life.
To continue being stubborn would only bring more pain and fatigue. Perhaps this was a form of liberation for him.
Seeing Dorothy's eyes well up with tears, Karen stroked her hand, "From a certain perspective, my brother got what he wanted." "What did he get."
"He saved the woman he cherished the most, ensuring you'd never forget him for the rest of your life."
