Perhaps to others, the fact that Everett had saved Dorothy and she sought him out was nothing special.
But for Everett, that was an affirmation!
It meant that he had officially become someone Dorothy cared about.
The significance of that place in her heart was immense to him. He dared not even hope to occupy a large space there, as long as he wasn't kicked out.
...
Jeffrey rushed back to the hotel and paced back and forth outside Karen’s door for ages without knocking.
He wasn't sure what he feared. For the first time, he felt a entanglement of emotions.
He never felt this anxious even back when he had a crush on Heather.
Suddenly, the door swung open!
Jeffrey looked up startled, and their eyes met. His mind went blank, unable to conjure up anything to say.
"What are you doing here?" Karen asked, freshly showered and changed, about to take a walk.
Without Jeffrey’s car, she planned not to stray too far, just to make sure she could find her way back.
But as soon as she opened the door, there he was!
"I... I..." Jeffrey stammered. Words failed him.
Karen thought he was gearing up for another argument and tempted to shut the door!
Jeffrey quickly blocked it with his hand.
This time Karen didn’t hold back, slamming the door so hard right on Jeffrey’s hand. He yelped in pain.
"Are you insane? I'm injured here!"
"A few more bruises won’t make much difference. Compared to what Heather went through, I'm really being gentle to you."

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...
