"But I don’t want to marry you!"
Jeffrey was clearly holding back a storm of anger.
If he hadn't thought she was taking too long in the restroom and barged in without considering the men's and women's signs, Karen's call would have gone through!
God help him if Dorothy found out he had essentially put Karen under house arrest—it'd be worse than if his own parents knew!
Dorothy was the apple of Everett's eye; she was untouchable.
Everett would definitely give him hell for this.
"Knock it off. You've had your bathroom break. Now let's go get our marriage license."
Jeffrey's hand landed on her shoulder, pressing gently but firmly.
But Karen wasn't budging.
"Can't you be reasonable for once? Jeffrey, the more you push, the less I want to marry you!"
"Then who do you want to marry?"
"That's not the point! Don't twist my words!"
Jeffrey clenched his jaw, his towering presence casting a shadow that enveloped Karen.
"You were worried about playing stepmom, so I proved that Paige’s child isn't mine! You were scared of the drama from exes. My handling of Paige and Arthur's situation has sent a clear message to the scene—if they value their lives, they won't mess with me. You can rest easy."
Rest easy? What was there to rest easy about? Karen thought.
"Jeffrey, what you did to Paige was heartless; I'm scared you'd do the same to me one day!"
"I won't!"
Karen peered into his eyes and said, "Then let me go. I don't want to marry you, and as for the child, I might reconsider."

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....
