But with Dorothy, all that was left was tenderness.

"Why did you keep it from me?" "I didn't! You never asked, so I didn't mention it." Jeffrey, hesitant to bring up the fact that Dorothy was considering a tic end with Amanda, naturally couldn't mention Everett's injury either, so he didn't even bring up Everett's return.

Jeffrey hesitated, unsure of where to start.

"Their relationship has always been on and off, who knows." "Everett even sold Bay Residence! Wasn't that to cut ties with Dorothy completely? What's he doing back now after the verdict?" "Ah, let's not meddle in their affairs. Here, have an apple." Jeffrey handed over the apple, but Karen turned her face away. "I don't want it. I'm going to find Dorothy." "Don't! She probably doesn't want to see anyone right now." "Why not?" Karen, sensing Jeffrey was deliberately hiding something, was determined to find out. Dorothy's matters were of utmost importance to her.
