Karen always played by one rule: never let herself be shortchanged!
After all, if her best friend was involved, Karen automatically assumed she was in the right.
“Karen, love isn't something you can tally up like a grocery bill,” Dorothy said, wiping away a tear and forcing a smile. “And I don't want to.”
It was over. That was that.
If Quincy hadn't shown up in Everett's life, Dorothy would have held on a bit longer, even against his cold indifference. But now, there was someone else.
Everything had changed.
“Everett is breaking up with you just because of his mom? I swear, Quincy's got to be part of the reason.”
Karen couldn't believe that the love Everett had shown Dorothy could be overshadowed by his mom's passing. It either meant his past affection was a facade, or there was more to the story.
Dorothy didn't respond, neither confirming nor denying. Everett had never admitted to anything with Quincy, but all signs pointed that way.
“No, I've got to confront Jeffrey about this. If he can't give me a straight answer, I'm going straight to Everett.”
Her friend was not going to be the one to lose out.
“Please, don't,” Dorothy begged.
If Karen intervened, it would seem like Dorothy had sanctioned it. They had loved each other once, shared two kids, and were bound to cross paths again. Dorothy didn't want to seem desperate.

Can you please convey this to the person who owns this website? Update “find me in your labyrinth” novel please...author is MIA since 12/4......
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....
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....
