Could Everett really be oblivious to the subtext in Keh's words? It was clear as day that Keh was trying to lump himself and Dorothy together, leaving Everett out in the cold.

Such games might have irked him in the past, made him jealous even, but now- Dorothy was his, heart and soul. Why would he bother with such petty squabbles anymore? "What do you think?" Instead of a direct answer, Keh threw the question back at him.

Everett just smiled, "Dorothy isn't just anyone, she's my wife." "Wife?" Keh's defenses crumbled at that word, "You guys made it official?" "Not yet, but it's in the pipeline." Everett looked him dead in the eye, his words deliberate and heavy with meaning, "We'll make sure you get an invite to the wedding." "I thought you two had broken up?" Bringing that up was a self-inflicted humiliation for Keh.

Their presence together today was proof enough of their relationship status.

The moment Keh mentioned their breakup, Everett's smile widened, his tall frimposing as he casually leaned in, a subtle smirk playing at the corner of his eyes.

"We did break up. But Dorothy said she couldn't stand to be away from me, preferred to be with me, official or not." "Dorothy said that?" Keh found it hard to believe.

"She's right there, you can ask her," said Everett, nodding towards Dorothy who was still in the car.

"And you just agreed to that?" "Of course. If she can't stand to leave me, how could I let her go without any recognition of what we have?" Everett had had enough teasing, his voice lowered, "You should get your leg treated. Even when you were in top form, Dorothy had no eyes for you, what more now?" || || "Dorothy has me. She doesn't need your concern." With those words, Everett made it crystal clear that he was speaking as Dorothy's husband.

Keh, staring at the Everett before him, was momentarily lost in thought.

He remembered, years ago...

Everett had stood before him just like this, eyes red, begging him not to take her away.

He was so surprised back then, a memory that lingered to this day.

This was Everett, who had countless other means to get what he wanted, yet chose to humble himself.

But now, times had changed...

As an outsider, he remained an outsider, never having the right to stand by Dorothy's side.

"Yeah, she's always been yours." Over the years, Keh had done all he could.

Letting go now seemed to carry no regrets.

"Keh, losing tois no disgrace." With that, Everett turned and went back to the car.

Dorothy, there, Seeing Keh standing dost soul, asked with concern, "What did you get Koyel Everett raised an eyebrow, "Worried I bullied him?" him?" "Dorothy!" "I didn't say you bullied him, just that you didn't need to target him." Dorothy still remembered how, when she was alone with two kids, without anyone to turn to, it was Keh and Karen who were there to help. Though she never loved Keh romantically, she did care for him.

Everett frowned, visibly det "Right, I'm the bad guy here.

love on him, b him." Dorothy blinked, then quickly cupped his face in her hands, planting two firm kisses on his cheeks.

"Not at all, you're the best! Nobody's better than you!"
