GoodReadEleanor finally understood.
It wasn't about whether she wanted to take responsibility or not. It was that... she didn't even qualify to do so.
They didn't need her at all!
"Kenneth, | don't know whether to call you passionate or heartless. Are you really this hung up on her? Even though she's been
sharing her bed with another man and has kids with someone else, you're willing to spend your life waiting?"
Eleanor just couldn't wrap her head around it.
She had loved her ex too, thought she'd never love anyone else. But she moved on, found a new boyfriend, and gradually let go.
But why was Kenneth so adamant about Dorothy?
"I'm not waiting for her. I'm waiting for my heart to be ready to accept someone else."
"...And what if you never get over her?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Then | guess fate's been too cruel to me," Kenneth said with a smile. "I'll just have to stay single."
Otherwise, any girl who ends up withis just getting a raw deal.
Eleanor wanted to say more, but it felt pointless to open her mouth.
Could she change Kenneth?
Clearly not.
All the setbacks and hurt hadn't made him give up on Dorothy, so what was she in comparison?
Eleanor fell silent for a while, then chuckled, "Alright, then | won't keep you from waiting for her. | hope you do end up with Dorothy
one day."
Kenneth looked at her, actually nodding in agreement.
"Yeah, | hope so too."
Everett finally left.
Dorothy had thought maybe their relationship could improve, but it only got worse.
She regretted insisting on living with Everett. If... if she hadn't insisted on sharing the spare bedroom, maybe Everett could've gone
back to Bay Residence?
She wouldn't have had to hear those words.
Abigail and Langston had gone to work, leaving Dorothy alone on the couch.
Her mind was a mess...
Everett's words kept repeating over and over.
Until her phone rang, bringing her back to reality.
Slowly, she picked it up. It was Karen calling.
Dorothy took a deep breath before answering, "Karen."
"My brother broke up with that Eleanor!" Karen got straight to the point.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"...She dumped Kenneth?"
Dorothy should have been joining Karen in advising Kenneth.
But she was in no mood for it.
Her own life was in shambles. How could she possibly advise someone else?
"Oh, if they broke up, they broke up. We should respect Kenneth's decision."
"Okay."
After Dorothy responded, Karen realized something was off.
"What's wrong? You seem upset."
"It's nothing. Maybe | just didn't sleep well last night."
"It's nothing, really."
"Fine, I'm coming over to Bay Residence right now!"
Hearing this, Dorothy quickly said, "I... Everett and | are having sissues."
