Jeffrey wrapped his arms around her and with an easy motion; they both tumbled onto the couch.

"So why don't you just stay? Live here," he whispered, leaning in to plant a series of delicate kisses on her lips. "And if you feel weird about staying at my place, | could even put the house in your name." "I'm not ready to think about marriage just yet." "It doesn't have to be about marriage. The offer stands regardless." Karen furrowed her brows, "Are you always this generous with women? We're talking about a villa in Eldorria City." Even without knowing the exact figure, she was sure it wasn't cheap! "Only the most generous for you," Jeffrey said, his gaze steady and unflinching, emphasizing every word. "Really, you're the only one I've ever brought home to meet my folks. The rest were just for fun.” Karen couldn't help but laugh, "So you admit you're a bit of a playboy then!" "That's so unfair. | never made any promises to them! It was all just for fun from the get-go." Jeffrey wasn't one for chasing after anyone. Most of his flings were one-night stands from the bar scene—pick up someone appealing, spend the night, leave some cash, and that was that.

None stayed around for more than a week.

Karen rolled her eyes. "| forgot to ask, with your kind of ‘fun,’ aren't you worried about catching something?" "Catching what?" Jeffrey blinked, then quickly raised his hand as if taking an oath. "Absolutely not, I'm always careful.” He was scared, too. Even if there were no diseases, an unexpected child could be catastrophic.

"From the way you talk, it sounds like | should pat you on the back for that.” "No need, no need," Jeffrey quickly replied with a charming smile. "Once Everett wraps up his work, let's invite them for a proper meal! They picked us up from the airport twice, and we haven't had a chance to sit down for a decent dinner. They're heading back to Swevia Country soon, and who knows how long it'll be before we see them again." "In half a month, Dorothy will be back." Jeffrey raised an eyebrow. "Why's that?" Karen realized she'd spoken out of turn and quickly waved her hands dismissively, "Just a guess!" "Don't you dare let Dorothy come back without settling things with Everett. They should lock it down for good, grow old together.

Have you seen the state Everett's in? If Dorothy leaves him again, | think it'd kill him." Karen was left speechless.

"You have no idea. In the four years Dorothy's been gone, Everett's been madly filling every moment with work—trips, meetings, overtime, shuttling between the company and Bay Residence. His only downtime was spent tracking down Dorothy's whereabouts and torturing himself with every trace she left behind." Back then, Jeffrey genuinely feared for Everett's life.

No one's body could withstand such abuse.

He'd never seen even a hint of a smile on Everett's face, which promoted him to work overtime as well, anxious not to upset Everett further.

"Everett... he really loves Dorothy." Karen had to admit, both in heart and voice.

"And what about Dorothy? Does she love Everett?" Jeffrey's voice grew heavy, "Honestly, | feel like she hasn't given nearly as much to Everett as he's given to her." "Do you know about the time Dorothy nearly died giving birth to Abigail and Langston? | was terrified. Signing the critical condition notice, | thought we were going to lose her." Jeffrey was at a loss for words.

Karen let out a sigh, "Having grown up in a stable, two-parent household, it’s natural that you may not fully grasp Dorothy's actions and decisions. But from my perspective, Dorothy has already given Everett the greatest love she can."
