Chapter 1170
"Are we still getting a divorce?"
Jeffrey had just placed a completely exhausted figure into the bathtub, and by the time he joined in, the water had nearly spilled over the edge! Now, with the water, it was even easier for him to exert more force, each move stronger than the last.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
At first, Karen managed to keep up her tough facade with sheer determination, "Divorce! If you're capable, make sure I never leave this place!"
"Fine! Then prepare to never get out of bed again!"
And then?
Eventually, the will to survive made Karen relent.
Tears streaming down her face, she clutched at Jeffrey's arm, "Enough, enough! Let me go..."
"Still want a divorce? Still heading to the city hall?"
Sweat trickled down Jeffrey's forehead, which he wiped away with the back of his hand, yet he didn't back down.
Without an answer, he was ready to go all in!
"No, no more divorce..."
Karen was too tired to even wipe her tears.
If this continued, she feared they might actually end up dead here.
What's that saying? A smart fighter knows when to back down. After all, there's always tomorrow.
Once he got the answer he wanted, Jeffrey finally relaxed, collapsing on top of Karen to catch his breath.
"Wouldn't it have been easier if you just agreed sooner?"
"Despicable!"
"Not in the mood for sleep?"
Karen immediately shut up, throwing a tantrum like a child, "Carry me back to bed, I want to sleep!" "Alright, let's sleep."
He carried her back to the bed, and in an instant, Karen was asleep.
Jeffrey got dressed and went to hold his daughter, who had woken up but wasn't crying, just playing by herself.
"Such a daddy's girl!" With one hand holding his daughter and the other texting Everett.
You and Dorothy still downstairs?"
Been too long, we went back to Bay Residence.
Jeffrey's lips curved up, Admitting I took too long?
Shortly after, Everett replied, "Get lost."
Jeffrey, in a good mood and not bothered by the insult, kissed his daughter on the cheek.
"Sweetie, mommy's sleeping. How about daddy takes you for a drive? Missed daddy?"
The baby in his arms was too young to understand, but Jeffrey took her silence as agreement.
"You have no idea how scared daddy was, almost lost my wife! You almost lost a daddy! When you grow up, you have to side with daddy, okay?"
The baby just blinked and continued playing with her fingers.
Jeffrey sighed, the heavy feeling in his heart finally easing.
Everything should be fine now, right?
...
Fortunately, Everett had canceled some work, so he drove back to Bay Residence with Dorothy.

"That's not true," Everett pulled her onto his fap, "If your company is in a prime location, potential partners will have a good first impression of your business." én.swnovels.net
Dorothy had never been in a leadership position before, so her lack of knowledge was understandable.
"But this place..."
"This is my property, use it as you please, it won't affect your company's expenses."
