DreameNovelDorothy cradled his face in her hands and leaned in for a kiss.
"Promise me, we'll forget the past. No more dwelling on it, no more talking about it. I believe everything that happened was just a process, a test of our love. And now that the test is over, we're still together. That's what truly matters." Everett was just too caring.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis love was always tinged with a sense of owing more, and it showed.
But the burden was too heavy, and thinking too much wasn't what Dorothy wanted to see.
Holding her hand tightly, Everett finally cracked a smile and nodded lightly, "Okay, your wish is my command." Just as Dorothy was about to embrace him, the doorbell rang out of the blue- "Who could that be at this hour?" Everett looked just as surprised, clearly not expecting anyone.
But before Dorothy could get up, he pulled her back, "Stay here, I'll check it out." Concerned it might be Maxton stirring up trouble again, Everett went to answer the door.
And there stood Jeffrey and Karen! "Surprise, huh? Hehe!" Jeffrey, holding Karen's hand with a big smile, stood at the doorstep, "You calledabout how to make that lemonade recipe, it's my secret formula. I figured I'd better show you in person!" Karen chuckled, "I was bored at hanyway, so I tagged along! Where's Dorothy?" "In the master bedroom." "I'll go find her! You two chat." Karen breezed past Everett without waiting for a reply.
Jeffrey knew his friend was a bit of a neat freak and not keen on having people over, but before he could say anything, Everett stopped him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It's fine, she's fine." Everett stepped aside to let Jeffrey in, "Having Karen around might take Dorothy's mind off feeling sick." "You really would do anything for Dorothy, huh?" "And you haven't been to a bar in ages because of Karen, right?" Back in the day, Jeffrey was the king of the nightlife scene! In Eldorria City, which bar owner didn't know him? Everywhere he went, there was always a bottle saved for Mr. Turner. Every bar had Jeffrey's reserve! Content belongs to en.kikistories"Ah! Why you gotta bring up old wounds? Jeffrey pouted, "Just don't mention the bar scene in front of Karen, alright? And definitely don't bring up the past. My wife is not as easy to appease as yours!" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesIt was true. Mention anything upsetting, and she'd be packing her bags back to her parents'.
Jeffrey was totally caught off guard by her moves! Seeing Jeffrey's whipped expression, Everett's lips curved slightly, "Your parents must be relieved." "That they are!" Jeffrey rolled his et eyes, "You have no idea. At home, it feels like I'm the adopted one and Karen's their biological daughter! Even if she gets mad atfor no reason, my parents will still chewout In the family hierarchy, I'm below our daughter!" Content belongs to en.kikistories"Finding someone who can handle you wasn't easy. Your parents are just worried Karen might leave." "That's for sure!" Despite his complaints, Jeffrey was thankful for his parents' support.
Without their help, reconciling with Karen would have been much harder.
After all, if his parents were like Everett's... well, that would've been the end of it. Just getting past Derek and Serena would have been impossible!
