Everett couldn't bring himself to meet her gaze any longer, his eyes darting away. He had to keep his emotions under wraps. After all, the plan had Quincy hooked, and they were just a heartbeat away from securing the antidote for Dorothy...
"We... we broke up, but Abigail and Langston are my kids. I can't let them go abroad with you."
Dorothy's eyes widened in shock, staring at him in disbelief. "What do you mean? You want to keep the kids here?"
Karen, overhearing this, immediately got worked up. "The kids are Dorothy's. What right do you have? It's you who wanted the breakup, so what grounds do you have to make demands?"
Dorothy couldn't believe these words were coming from Everett. How could he change like this?
"The kids have to stay here, no matter what. I can't let you take them."
Everett knew too well that Dorothy couldn't bear to leave Abigail and Langston behind, effectively anchoring her to stay.
"You're being unreasonable!" Karen was fuming, itching to give Everett a piece of her mind. "Wasn't it you who pursued Dorothy first? And then your family didn't approve, even causing Dorothy's mother's death. Did she ever blame you? She never thought of revenge, even went ahead to have your kids after leaving you! And you?"
"..."
"Your mother caused the death of Dorothy's only kin. Have you ever thought about how Dorothy is supposed to live her life now? Oh, now your mother is gone and you feel bad, so you decide to drag Dorothy down with you! Everett, I never realized you were so unreasonable."
Dorothy didn't want Karen to get more involved in this mess, especially since there was Jeffrey in the middle, making things awkward. But it was because of her.

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....
