Chapter 1197
If it wasn't for the fear of tipping off Dorothy, he'd have fired Mr. Percy on the spot.
"He insisted you go," Everett whispered, knowing all too well that this wasn't something she'd willingly do.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
With Dorothy's looks and charm, if she'd opted for that path, the Prosperity Consortium would've lost its grip on her long ago!
"But I went, didn't I?" Dorothy turned to face him, her voice a mixture of resignation and defiance. "For money, to survive, I had to go! Maybe after a few times, it won't feel so bad, and I'll get used to it." Isn't that just the way of the world?
Which girl fresh out of college, stepping into the real world, wants to engage in unsavory activities? Life just bends you over sometimes.
You have to bow your head.
"..."
Dorothy reached out, her hand finding solace in his.
"So, you saved me! From start to finish, it was only because of you that I have all this."
"Dorothy..."
"Shh." She raised a hand to her lips in a gesture for silence. "In my eyes, no one is better than you. So, my sun, can you keep burning brightly and stop consuming yourself?"
Everett couldn't help but smile at her metaphor.
"The sun? Admitting you can't live without me now?"
"I've been unable to live without you for a long time."
It wasn't a new realization.
It had been two days since Karen found out she was pregnant.
Two whole days!
Karen felt if she didn't make a decision soon, she'd go mad from the indecision.
These past two days, she couldn't eat or sleep properly, tossing and turning.
Meanwhile, Jeffrey, that dog, still found the spirit to play with their daughter, leaving the heavy decision solely to her.
"Jeffrey, it's your child. Can you make a decision already?"
He was holding their daughter when his wife stormed out of the bedroom, fiery and formidable. He immediately put on a placating smile.
"Would my decision even count in this matter?"
"It does! Say it, keep it or not."
Jeffrey had been waiting for this moment!
He hurried over, a cheeky grin on his face. "Honey, think about our
daughter. It'd be so lonely growin.ne
up alone! Having a brother or sister could be great company."
Karen glared at him, "So you're saying we keep it?"
Jeffrey immediately put on an aggrieved expression. "If I dared suggest otherwise, you'd glare at me just the same! Since I'll be in trouble either way, I definitely want the baby!" .
"..." This guy, when did he start understanding her so well!
"Let's keep it, yeah? If you don't want to deal with the baby stuff, my mother can come help. We can hire ten nannies if need be."
Karen pouted, "Is that what's bothering me?"
"Whatever it is, just say it. I'll take care of it. Except for the morning sickness."
That, he truly had no solution for.
They'd consulted so many doctors, but there was no cure for this natural bodily reaction.
"It's nothing." Karen touched her belly, making a decision. "Then... we'll go with what you said. Keep it."
In that moment, Karen felt a huge weight lift off her shoulders.
She even found her previous indecision somewhat amusing.
"Honey! You're amazing!" Jeffrey planted a kiss on her lips. "I promise, this is the last time you'll ever have to go through pregnancy! I've been feeling guilty these past few days... So, I've decided to get a vasectomy. I've already made the appointment With the doctor."
