"Come on, you reach out to him, and I'm just not in the mood."
"...I just wanted him to check on Karen, that's all!"
Everett pursed his lips, holding the steering wheel with one hand, then handed over his phone, "Type in the number, I'll call."
Dorothy couldn't help but find the situation both helpless and amusing.
"Alright."
She knew deep down what really bothered Everett was Kenneth. If doing this would keep the green-eyed monster at bay, then so be it.
The call went through, and Kenneth picked up on the other side.
"Hello?"
"Karen and Jeffrey had a fight, can't get a hold of her, could you check on her?"
Kenneth paused for a few seconds before responding, "Everett?"
"Find her."
"..."
After his terse command, he hung up.
Dorothy couldn't help but comment, "Wasn't that a bit harsh on Kenneth? He might not have even gotten what you meant."
"I don't have time to chit-chat with him." Everett turned to look at her, "Why, you wanted to chat more?"
She quickly shook her head, "No, as long as you're happy."
What else could Dorothy say at this point, under Everett's strict house rules?
"Kenneth is different from the other guys, he's waited for you for years."
That was exactly what Everett dreaded the most.
Those other guys, he never even considered them a threat! But Kenneth was different.
He had spent over a decade catching up to Dorothy, winning her over. And look at Kenneth, willing to wait for Dorothy for more than a decade! How could Everett not see him as a thorn in his side?!
What man wouldn't be bothered by such a rival?
"...I really only see him as a friend."
Dorothy had nearly turned this phrase into a mantra!

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....
