Everett didn't respond, but his mind was no longer focused on work.
“I’ve known you for quite a while now, Everett. Besides Dorothy, you’ve never made an exception for anyone else. Normally, you’re meticulous to a fault, even towards yourself. So, you can’t fool me. Spill the beans. Are you back together with Dorothy? Have you remarried?”
“No.”
“You were never married. That was just a ruse.” Jeffrey hit the nail on the head, leaving the usually composed Everett speechless.
Seeing him silent, Jeffrey pursed his lips and sighed. “I know what you’re thinking. Your mom pushed you to marry Heather, but you couldn’t accept it, so you put on this charade, hoping they’d give up to show them that you would never marry Heather, right?”
“Yes. I just don’t want to be hassled anymore.”
Over the years, countless women have tried to latch onto him and establish some sort of connection; some even camped outside his office, desperately seeking his contact information.
Now, by publicizing his marriage, Everett hoped to end all this once and for all.
“So, you’re not back with Dorothy then?”
“No.”
Jeffrey was silent for a few seconds before lifting his thick eyebrows. “Are you really not planning to get back with Dorothy? Have you completely given up on her?”
Everett looked at him. “She gave up on me long ago, not the other way around. Did my mom ask you to ask this?”
“Of course not! If I were on your parents’ side, would I be here talking to you about this? They really thought you were getting married. When they asked me, I even covered for you! I said at your age, elopement is normal.”

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....

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....
