e on, you reach out to him, and I'm just not in the mood." "...I just wanted him to check on Karen, that's all!" Everett pursed his lips, holding the steering wheel with one hand, then handed over his phone, "Type in the number, I'll call." Dorothy couldn't help but find the situation both helpless and amusing.

"Alright." She knew deep down what really bothered Everett was Keh. If doing this would keep the green-eyed monster at bay, then so be it.

The call went through, and Keh picked up on the other side.

"Hello?" "Karen and Jeffrey had a fight, can't get a hold of her, could you check on her?" Keh paused for a few seconds before responding, "Everett?" "Find her." After his tersemand, he hung up.

Dorothy couldn't help butment, "Wasn't that a bit harsh on Keh? He might not have even gotten what you meant." "I don't have tto chit-chat with him." Everett turned to look at her, "Why, you wanted to chat more?" She quickly shook her head, "No, as long as you're happy." What else could Dorothy say at this point, under Everett's strict house rules? "Keh is different from the other guys, he's waited for you for years." That was exactly what Everett dreaded the most.

Those other guys, he never even considered them a threat! But Keh was different.

He had spent over a decade catching up to Dorothy, winning her over. And look at Keh, willing to wait for Dorothy for more than a decade! How could Everett not see him as a thorn in his side?! What man wouldn't be bothered by such a rival? "...I really only see him as a friend." Dorothy had nearly turned this phrase into a mantra! "I know, you don't need to repeat it." If Dorothy had shown even a flicker of interest, even once, Everett would have been out of the picture.

But if that were the case, Everett would definitely lose his mind.

"So you're still..." "I'll be jealous. I just am." "Alright, alright, you be jealous." Dorothy casually responded, only to see him frown deeper, his brows knitting together.

She quickly amended, "I'll try my best to not give you a reason to be." "That's more like it." Dorothy leaned against the car window, finding the whole situation increasingly amusing.

"Everett, you're makingfeel like I'm skind of precious gem that can't even be glanced at by others." "This isn't a misconception." Everett's response was swift, without hesitation.

He really did think so.

"...let's focus on finding Karen first." This unexpected sweet talk, Everett was too smooth, and she was slightly taken aback.

Jeffrey returned to the villa, naturally, Karen was nowhere to be seen.

He hadn't expected Karen to be waiting at hfor him! But now, Jeffrey hesitated to call his in-laws directly, worried Karen hadn't told them yet. If he spilled the beans, wouldn't that just invite another round of criticism? The shadows of dating times made Jeffrey dread his in-laws the most! They might seem like a middle-class in Eldorria City, but t were fiercely protective of their daughter! The moment Karen was upset, without asking why, they were ready to take action.

Left with no choice, Jeffrey called Everett, "Everett, could you have Dorothy check in with Karen's folks? Just to see if they're in the loop about this?" "They're clueless. Dorothy just got to Karen's parents' place." mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
