He was in no shape to work back at the office. But the last place he wanted to go was back to Bay Residence. He feared his act wouldn't hold up, that his eyes would betray him when he looked at her, and Dorothy would see right through him.
Standing outside the towering glass building of Lopez Corporation, Jeffrey watched him attempt to exit the car, his usually composed figure swaying slightly. Worried, Jeffrey hurriedly opened his door to steady him.
"Are you sure you're up for this? Maybe you should head back to Bay Residence and rest. Dorothy must be waiting for you at home, she sounded really worried when she called me!"
"Jeffrey." Everett looked up at him, "I've decided, I'm pulling Dorothy out of this mess."
It took a moment for Jeffrey to grasp the full meaning of his words.
"Starting now?"
"After my mom passed, it just seems like the natural course of action."
Otherwise, distancing himself from Dorothy suddenly wouldn't make Quincy believe it either! Given their past, it would add a layer of credibility.
"..." Jeffrey pursed his lips, his throat dry. Although it was his idea and he had advised Everett twice, thinking about their tumultuous relationship still made him sigh. After all this drama, who knew how long it would take for them to get back together?
"Today, at the funeral home, watching my mom lying there, do you know what I was thinking?"
"Dorothy?"
"Yeah, I can't bear the thought of her lying there too." He'd rather die first!

I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....

Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
