Dorothy instinctively glanced in the direction he pointednovelbin
Sure enough, Kenneth stood not far away phone in hand, smiling at her. “Over here”
Seeng Kenneths figure, Dorothy’s heart
it would be ale to say she was
ribable emotions.
but this kind of emotion felt more like familial affection, unrelated to romance
Many times. Dorothy had thought if she had met Everett first, but had been paired up with Kenneththrough Karens matchmaking, she’d most likely be
these assumptions were based
the condition that Everett didnt exist.
Dorothy stood up slowly walking towards him, “Kenneth, why havent you left?
1 just couldn’t bear the thought of you being alone in Eldoma City, so I had my friend take Karen andthe kids and leave first! You don’t have to worry,
who is arving them is an old classmate of mine they be safe and he wont betray us.”
Dorothy wasn’t concerned about that, but
“You just stood here waiting?”
1 stayed primarily to be w you” Kenneth spoke without a hint of complaint, his voice gentle and warm,“Are you done now? Let’s go.”
Dorothy nodded, following Kenne
The wind was getting stronger, and rain seemed imminent, specially in the summer, when rain camewithout notice.
“Shall we find a place to stay first and continue our journey tomorrow morning?” Dorothy suggested.
Kenneth paused, then turned around smiling, “Sounds good! You don’t seem to be in the best moodtoday, it would be perfect to find a hotel take a nice bath get a good sleep, and then we can hit the roadwhen you wake up naturally! And don’t worry about the kids, they love Karen and will be obedient.”
Dorothy merely nodded, managing a forced smile
From her sudden urge to leave to her change of heart to wait till tomorrow, Kenneth could probablyguess what was going on. But he also felt he had no right to say anything
And more importantly, truth be told, he genuinely hoped Dorothy would be happy. Nothing elsemattered.
Kenneth led Dorothy to a high–end hotel, then booked two adjacent rooms
This hotel has very comfortable beds, I’ve stayed here before on business trips. Rest well, and just giveme a shout when you’re ready to leave tomorrow.”
Dorothy nodded. “Thank you”
“No need for thanks! Now off you go
Kenneth watched Dorothy enter her room, then entered his and stood by the door
Sure enough, after a few minutes, he heard the neighboring door open.
It must’ve been Dorothy leaving again
Kenneth’s thin lips twitched into a bitter smile.
Dorothy had gone to find Everest.
More accurately, she went to visit Bay Residence.
That place held all their cherished memories, and was where she first felt truly valued and treasured.
Growing up, her mother loved her, but her love was always extreme, more about control! She neverconsidered whether her daughter could handle it, only wanting to prevent her from going down thesame path she did.
Karen loved her, but that was a friendship. Karen had her own family to love her own life, her socialcircle, and wouldn’t prioritize her best friend above all else.
Only Everett, he truly took the time to get to know her and cared for her with extreme caution, afraid ofany slight oversight
