Chapter 1230
"Dorothy still not up?"
After changing her shoes, Karen realized the living room was deserted!
Given the racket they made coming in, Dorothy should've been up and about.
A flicker of embarrassment crossed Everett's handsome face, then he spoke up, "She... stayed up late last night, I'll go wake her."
"Stayed up late?" Karen's eyes widened, curiosity piqued.
She'd been pregnant lately, and Jeffrey, scared out of his wits, hadn't touched her in days, naturally making her extra curious about such topics!
Jeffrey quickly tugged at his wife, whispering, "Don't go gossiping with Everett, okay? You know how he is, he might just kick us out!"
"Come on, we're all adults here, what's there to be scared of? Afraid of a little curiosity now?"
Karen rolled her eyes, "Well, think about it, I'm practically their matchmaker! If it wasn't for me getting Dorothy all hot and bothered that day, Everett wouldn't have had his chance!"Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
If not for her little push, who knows how long it would've taken for Everett and Dorothy's story to unfold!
Really, when you think about it, she's practically Everett's fairy godmother.
Seeing her roll her eyes, Jeffrey did the same.
"Kinda makes sense when you put it like that!"
Luckily, Dorothy was a quick riser. As soon as Everett went to wake her, she hurried to get ready and joined them. Otherwise, Karen might've analyzed the situation to death, expecting Everett to bow down in gratitude on the spot! "Dorothy! How about we hit the mall today? I want to pick up some clothes for my daughter."
"Sure." Dorothy was all for it.
She'd been jobless and cooped up in Bay Residence anyway.
Just as Jeffrey was about to join, Everett cut him off.

"Kevin's been tied up helping Dorothy out and can't get back to Lopez Corporation. It's about time you clock in some regular hours there."
"...What? Rather than making me punch the clock, you might as well kill me!"
The thought of not being able to cuddle his daughter whenever he wished turned Jeffrey's handsome face sour.
Seeing him look to Karen for rescue, Everett decisively cut off his exit.
"Dorothy and Jeffrey, you can only pick one to accompany you, Karen. Who'll it be?"
Was that even a question?
Karen immediately linked arms with Dorothy, "I pick Dorothy!"
"Ah." Jeffrey losing to Dorothy didn't surprise him one bit.
He should've just dropped off Karen and headed back. Had he not come in, he wouldn't have been ordered to overtime.

Although Jeffrey and Karen were around, Everett didn't skimp on appearances, whipping up breakfast himself. Karen had already eaten, but the spread on the table had her second-guessing how full she really was!

After breakfast, Everett escorted Jeffrey to work.
Dorothy, now dressed, and Karen were in high spirits, ready for their shopping spree.
But as they stepped out of the car in front of the mall, they bumped into a familiar face... Paige.
With a little girl by her side.
