Sitting beside Everett, Kevin couldn't help but feel his eyes well up with tears for him.

He had always known that Everett was head over heels for Dorothy, but he never imagined the depth of his love.

It was as if he had saved all his tenderness and patience for her alone.

Over a decade—that was a terrifying amount of time.

The long, solitary, unpredictable wait before Dorothy reciprocated his feelings must have been agonizing.

"If I could do it all over, | wouldn't want to be born into the Lopez family. So, don't touch her. Don't push me." Otherwise, he didn't know what he might do.

Karen couldn't get a wink of sleep.

Jeffrey wished he could install cameras in the bedroom to keep an eye on her every move.

"If you really can't sleep, | can take you for a stroll around the yard." Their villa was on the outskirts of Eldorria City, sprawling over a vast area, so the yard was like a park.

But since Jeffrey seldom stayed there, only a few servants maintained it, and it didn't have any exotic flowers, just the common ones you'd see anywhere.

Karen, of course, jumped at the chance to go outside.

At the very least, she wanted to see where she was.

She got up and followed Jeffrey out the door, only to realize she had been too naive.

The place was so big that she couldn't even make out where she was.

"Let's take a walk, then go with me." Jeffrey noticed she was shivering in her thin clothing, so he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Karen looked up, squinting against the midday sun to see his handsome face.

It was the same face, the same easygoing expression, but it felt so unfamiliar.

"Do you really have to do this?" "Karen, we've talked about this." He hadn't started out this way.

"Can't we hold off on the paperwork? Give me some more time to think, will you?" Jeffrey looked down at her, his lips curving into a thin smile. "The outcome won't change, so there's no point in thinking it over." "I don't like this side of you!" "| told you, after you're six months pregnant, I'll do anything you say. Then, your parents can hit me, curse me, and I'l take it." Karen glanced at him, the corner of her mouth twitching.

Hit him? Curse him? Was she supposed to forget all the heartache in that call from Paige earlier? "You said before that Paige was set up, right? She didn't mean to deceive you." "But if she hadn't set her sights on me to begin with, none of this would have happened." Why should she suffer like this? Karen's fear was evident, and Jeffrey was no blind man.

"That punishment you're giving out is way too harsh! That guy... what's his name? He'll die without the surgery, right?" "Doesn't he deserve to? Karen, they should be grateful | stopped you before you went through with that procedure! If not—I would have them all pay!" A cold sweat broke out on Karen's palms.

Realizing his words were too harsh, Jeffrey smiled, his expression instantly returning to his usual laid-back, roguish demeanor.

"Don't be scared. I'll never treat you that way." He took her hand in his and rubbed it gently.

Karen pursed her dry lips and whispered, "Can you let them go, please?" "No." Jeffrey's pupils contracted fiercely, "That guy named Arthur dared to curse my child, so he deserves to face the consequences!” He could be affable and chummy when in a good mood, approachable even, but that didn't mean he was always nice.

Nobody except Everett could dare curse at him like that.
