Karen, the rookie mom, was still all thumbs despite having had a trial run with Abigail and Langston. Luckily, having Dorothy around made her postpartum anxiety a bit more bearable.
When Everett and Jeffrey got back, Dorothy was cradling the baby, and Karen had just dozed off from sheer exhaustion.
"How come you didn't get a nanny? You should be taking it easy." Everett said, his concern for his lady evident as he approached.
Dorothy chuckled, "The little one likes me, and besides, Karen wouldn't feel at ease handing her off to a stranger."
"I'll hold him!" Jeffrey, not wanting to disturb Karen's sleep, stepped forward and reached out to Dorothy.
She carefully handed the baby over to Jeffrey, trying not to laugh at his awkwardness.
Jeffrey indeed looked lost. Fighting and brawling were one thing, but holding such a tender newborn was a whole different ball game!
"Everything sorted on your end?" Dorothy asked, more out of politeness than anything. But she caught a fleeting look of evasion in Jeffrey's eyes as he glanced at Everett.
The latter spoke softly, "Yeah, let's head back."
As Dorothy stood up, she couldn't help but shoot a curious glance at Jeffrey, ultimately swallowing her questions.
"Alright then."
The ride back was oddly silent. Dorothy didn't speak, and Everett didn't make the first move either.
It was only as they neared Eldorria City's central district that he finally broke the silence, "Dorothy, I regret not being there for Abigail and Langston when they were born."

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....
