Chapter 1163
Downstairs, Jeffrey paced back and forth like a cat on a hot tin roof.
He was making Everett dizzy with all his walking!
"You could walk a marathon, and Karen would still be mad."
It wouldn't change a thing.
"Well, she's not your wife, so of course you're chill!" Jeffrey said, his handsome face on the verge of tears. "Karen's not like Dorothy, man. I don't have that kind of spot in her heart!"
Everett glanced at him, arms crossed, leaning against his car. "Well, that's because Dorothy's heart is pretty much occupied by me."
Jeffrey couldn't help but give his friend a glare.
Even now, the guy was flaunting his love life!
Everett's phone beeped, and Jeffrey immediately went over to see.
"It's from Dorothy, check it out!"
Everett opened the message, which read:
"Karen's set on the divorce. She's got her reasons, and I can't argue with that."
"This is bad. Why isn't Dorothy backing me up?"
Jeffrey glanced at Everett. "I've got to go up there! I can't just wait for her to divorce me!"
This time, Everett didn't stop him, simply texting Dorothy back.
"Jeffrey's headed up. Let them sort it out. Come down and steer clear of the drama, I'm worried about you." "Okay."
...
Loud knocking echoed outside, but Karen didn't react, just kept watching her movie.
Dorothy had no choice but to get up.
"Let him in. Even if you're going to divorce, you should at least face each other, right? Talk about the details. I'm going downstairs to find Everett. He asked me to come down."
Karen glanced at her and nodded. "Fine."
She had done nothing wrong. Why should she hide?
Dorothy opened the door, and Jeffrey barged in immediately!
Seeing his urgency, Dorothy hesitated to leave, fearing her friend would be at a disadvantage.
"Take it easy, will you? The baby's sleeping."
"Alright, alright! I got it!"
Jeffrey sneaked a peek at Karen and nodded at Dorothy.
With a sigh, Dorothy left.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Once the door was closed, Jeffrey rushed toward Karen. "Babe..."
"Stop! Don't start with that. It won't work."
"I know I screwed up, for real! Forget about divorce, I swear there won't be a next time. I've learned my lesson," Jeffrey pleaded, reaching out fo
Karen, only to have his hand swatted away. ,
"I know there won't be a next time because I won't give you that chance."
Jeffrey felt his heart sink. "Babe, I'll take you to the bar to check the CCTV! Those women, I didn't even touch them! I just went in, had a few drinks, and then I needed the
restroom, I just didn't have yellow
I
phone on me!"
He was exasperated.
Karen never called him first, so Jeffrey was caught off guard by this.
In the bar, he wanted to cool off, avoid arguing with Karen, planning to apologize afterward.
"Who you touch is your business, what does it have to do with me?"
Karen stood up from the couch, trying to appear formal. "Jeffrey, I hope you, as a man, can keep your word! Don't forget what you promised before we got married!"
"...I knew it!"
"I don't want your money. As for our daughter's custody, if you want it, I won't fight you. Just let me visit her once a month. But this marriage, it's got to end."
