She replied in such a way that Jeffrey was totally thrown off his game.
"You know about it?"
"Yeah, he told me. Dr. Quincy has been by his side... looking after him. Everett's dad and the Caldwell family go way back, and his mom was quite fond of Quincy too."
It seemed like, maybe Quincy was indeed better suited to be with Everett at this time.
Jeffrey furrowed his brow, driving in silence for a while before he couldn't help but ask again.
"Don't you ever suspect something between Everett and Dr. Quincy...?"
Dorothy shook her head, "No, I don't."
"Why not?"
"Because I know Everett's heart is with me," Dorothy lowered her lashes, her voice soft, "Everett and his mom had their differences, which were profound. I understand why he's hesitant to see me now, at a time when he's lost someone so close."
But it's okay. He'll come to accept his mother's passing, just like I had to.
Once everything settles, Dorothy believed he would still be the Everett who loved her.
"You can understand all that!" Jeffrey was genuinely impressed.
He knew he couldn't.
"What else can I do?" Dorothy looked up at him, "Cause a scene in front of Everett right now?"
"...”
"I know you've always felt like I don't love Everett enough, that our relationship is imbalanced, but... I've tried my best, I really have."
That was the most love she could possibly give.
Jeffrey was speechless for a moment, unable to find the words.
He had wanted to help Everett move on, to accelerate the end of their relationship so Quincy would quickly see the rift between Dorothy and Everett. But now, he found himself feeling sorry for Dorothy...
But.
Everett had it tough too.

Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
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....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
