"Is it because of Quincy?"
Karen went straight for the jugular.
She wasn't clueless, just straightforward. Lately, the only new addition to Everett's life seemed to be this woman! And even Jeffrey had mentioned her.
"It's not about her."
Dorothy preferred to keep her personal issues under wraps, not keen on airing her dirty laundry for the world to critique. She still hoped to find a way to mend things with Everett.
If their argument became public knowledge...
It might make reconciliation harder, with Everett too proud to make amends.
"Then what's it about? His mom passing away?"
"Yeah, he's just been in a bad mood, that's all. Give it some time, and he'll be fine. You don't need to worry about it."
"If I don't look after you, who will?" Karen's voice rose in pitch. "Dorothy, you're usually so vigilant! How come you become so naive when it comes to love? Men, especially someone like Everett, they don't just get upset for no reason! I think his mom's death is just an excuse, and it's actually all because of Quincy."
Karen had more experience in love than Dorothy did, after all.
Dorothy had only ever been with Everett.
"Everett doesn't like Quincy."
"That doesn't stop Quincy from trying to get close to him! Maybe she's using the opportunity, with Everett's mom gone, to worm her way in and drive a wedge between you two." Karen grew more convinced as she spoke. "Wait and see, I'm going to grill Jeffrey later! I'll make sure he spills the beans!"
Dorothy quickly interjected, "No! Don't ask Jeffrey. I don't want Everett to think we're making a big deal out of a small fight."
If it weren't for Karen's probing, she wouldn't have mentioned it at all.
"And when were you planning to ask? Wait until Quincy steals your man?"

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...
