Chapter 83
It was indeed true that since the blow up, Evertas phone hadn’t even buzzed with a single text from Dorothy
“Wake up, Everell, Jelfiey said, “There’s someone else better for you. Someone who actually cares about you”
He might as well have said Heather’s name
But Everett just pursed his lips, eyes glued to his phone screen without a word
Seeing him like that, Jeffrey sighed and said, “Wi right, I’ll stop blabbering. You must figure this out yourself! Need hep packing? You’ve got that business trip tonight”
“No thanks, fil drive myself back to Bay Residence”
“You’re going back to her Jeffrey knew Dorothy lived at Bay Residence
left some clothes there”
can
go get them for you”
“No need.” Everett’s reply was curt
His feelings were written all over his face.
Everent thought that maybe it was all just a big misunderstanding
“Everet, listen to me this once. Don’t go back! See when shell finally reach out! You can’t keep fooling yourself.”
On the other hand, even though Kenneth was throwing a housewarming dinner, Dorothy was quiet the whole time, constantly checking her phone.
It was already half past seven. Everett should have been on his way to his business trip, right?
Didn’t he notice she had left Bay Residence?
Or was that whole thing not worth a phone call for the busy Mr. Lopez?
“Dorothy, eat up! This is really good. Karen kept piling faad into her bowl. Call the people at the table, she was the happiest
“Okay” Dorothy forced a smile, trying not to show she was distracted
Suddenly, her phone on the table lit up. There was a new WhatsApp message
She grabbed it immediately, only to replace it was from her mother
[After the surgery, you two must hold a wedding ceremony Just getting registered isn’t enough.]
It wasn’t Everni.
Dorothy took a deep breath and replied, [Gat it [
Everything would have been over after her moms surgery.
She hadn’t planned to drag it out that long
“You seem distracted. Are you waiting for a call? Now, even Karen noticed,
Kenneth quickly shot his sister a look, signairg her to stop asking.
But Karen didn’t care. She was upset that her best friend was keeping secrets!
is it work? Cris your mom giving you a hard time agon?
Dorothy shook her head and smiled, “No, I’m just trunking about what kind of apartment to get
“Don’t bother with that, just stay with me! If you insist on paying rent, you can pay me”
Dorothy was helpless. But speaking of money. Doretly took out a wad of cash from her bag. I was money she withdrew from a nearby bank after packing her things in the afternoon. She handed it to Kenneth acsoss the table, “Thank you for helping me out. I don’t know if this is enough to cover the cost of those supplements. If it’s not, ill make up the difference next month when I get paid.”
Karen’s eyes went wide when she saw the mono, “Kenneth, you’re so cheap! You’re actually charging Dorothy for supplements?!”
Kenneth looked wronged, “Dorothy, what are you doing? I just bought some stull for your mom”
“No, I’m already grateful that you’re helping me out. I can’t let you pay out of your own pocket.” Dorally put the money on the table “Karen, if you still consider me a friend, let your bmiher take the money. Otherwise, lill be awkward between us in the futuro.”
