Chapter 1160
"Yeah, I reckon you hit the nail on the head. Let's head over to the apartment and see."
"Alright."
Karen hadn't replied to any messages on WhatsApp, and despite Dorothy sending her a couple more, there was radio silence. To say they weren't worried would be a lie.
As they pulled up to the apartment complex, Dorothy barely got out of the car when she saw Jeffrey's truck racing towards them.
He'd pieced together the same location.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"Everett."
Seeing Dorothy there seemed to relieve Jeffrey, "Dorothy, could you try talking to her? Karen... she must be furious, probably even cried herself out. If she sees me coming up, I'm afraid she might just bolt." Dorothy pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I'll go up first and check the situation. If I can calm her down a bit, I'll let you know to come up."
She too was concerned Karen's reaction might escalate the situation further.
"Great!" Jeffrey responded, then grabbed Everett who was about to follow, "Everett... wait here with me, will ya? I'm kinda... panicking."
Everett gave him a look, frowning.
"Got the guts to go out drinking, and now you're panicking?"
"I swear! I just thought of having a few drinks, absolutely no physical contact with anyone else, not even a touch!" Jeffrey raised his hands in sincerity, "And I left in less than half an hour!" "Swearing to me does squat, Karen has to believe you."
"..."
"This should teach you a lesson, so you'll remember next time."
Everett had warned him before, but back then he thought Jeffrey was just being playful and didn't interfere much. He hadn't expected that even after getting married, Jeffrey would still find his way to bars!
"I've definitely learned my lesson! I just hope Karen gives me another chance!"
"All you did was drink, why the need for chances?" It sounded as if he'd committed some grave sin.
Jeffrey covered his face with his hands, wailing.
"I made a promise to Karen before we got married, that I'd never hit the bars with my old pals again. If I did... she could divorce me and leave me with nothing!"
It wasn't about the money; he just didn't want a divorce!
"And you still dared to go?"
"I didn't think she'd find out!" Jeffrey really had only gone this one time And he didn't plan to stay long,gust wanted a drink to ease his mind before going to apologize to Karen. en.swhovels.net
It was always him, Jeffrey, who apologized.
This time, he felt Karen had crossed a line, which is why he didn't back down in the moment.
Seeing Everett about to speak,
Jeffrey hurriedly added, "Hey! Don't start with
anyo the 'if you don't wante
anyone to know, don't do it' spiel. My mom already gave me an earful!" en.swhovels.net
"She said you deserved it."
Everett was never a fan of those places.
Too loud and rowdy, nothing appealing about them.
Jeffrey made a face, "Fine, say what you will, just help me win my wife back! I even punched Wesley earlier, I'm absolutely done with those drinking sessions!"
"
Everett frowned, his gaze shifting to the apartment building entrance.
Now, he was more concerned about Dorothy's well-being.
