Chapter 1159
"Huh? Did they suspect anything?"
"Relax, Dorothy said she was just picking up some stuff."
"That's a relief! But where could Karen have gone? She even took the baby with her, but left the nanny behind!"
Jeffrey searched around the house again, but it seemed Karen had left with practically nothing but their daughter in tow.
"Think, I'll help you look too, along with Dorothy."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Jeffrey felt like slapping himself!
It had been ages since he last hit the bars. How could he have just succumbed to the temptation after a minor squabble and gone off to drown his sorrows with Wesley!
Now, his wife was gone, and so was his daughter!
Thinking of Karen's temper, he was at his wit's end!
He had promised her he would steer clear of bars, and it wasn't that he had forgotten; he just thought a quick drink wouldn't hurt and Karen wouldn't need to know! Little did he imagine things would escalate to this level.
Left with no other choice, Jeffrey had to call Paloma.
"Mom... Could you call Karen, plead on my behalf?"
Knowing Karen would pick up Paloma's call, Jeffrey held onto a sliver of hope.
...
Dorothy and Everett left Karen's parents' house and tried calling Karen, only to find her line busy.
"Could it be that Jeffrey has already made amends?"
"Do you really think Karen would be so easily appeased?" Everett raised an eyebrow.
Although he hadn't spent much time with Karen, he knew her well enough to guess her reaction.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Dorothy sighed in frustration, "Definitely not. What do we do now? Her parents are clueless about the fight."
Everett wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close.
"Her not telling her parents is a good sign."
"A good sign?"
"It means Karen doesn't want to

probably just upset and needs some e to cool off." Coelongs
Dorothy felt slightly relieved hearing his analysis.
Suddenly, Everett had a thought, "Could Karen be at that apartment?"
The one Dorothy had once stayed in.
"Could be! Let's go check it out."
As Dorothy started to hurry towards the car, she remembered Everett's hand was still around her waist, restraining her.
"Easy there, Dorothy, no running."
"I'm fine, just worried, you know?"
"They're just having a spat. Your health... that's what matters." Everett was walking on eggshells every day, fearing Dorothy might end up in the hospital again. He couldn't bear the thought of her exerting herself.
Seeing his serious concern, Dorothy nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I'll take it slow."
She leaned in to give Everett a peck on the cheek, "I'm really fine!"
"By the time you're not, it'll be too late."
If it wasn't for Dorothy being right there, Everett would have preferred to keep her in the dark about such troubles.
Holding her hand, Everett led her to the car, opening the door for her before circling back to the driver's seat.
Just as he was about to start the car, Dorothy received a WhatsApp message from Karen.
Dorothy, ye had some time to cool
off and think. I just feel Jeffrey and I are not meant to be! If he loves his nightlife that much, I shouldn't force him to give it up for me."
Dorothy frowned upon reading the message, quickly typing back, Where are you? Let's meet and talk about it.
