Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe'd even thought about how to cheer Karen up if she found her in tears-how to calm her down first! But what she encountered was...
Dorothy knocked on the door, which swung open almost immediately.
And there was Karen! But the scene Dorothy had imagined didn't play out at all. Karen peeked out, put a finger to her lips, and whispered, "The little one's asleep, keep it down, will ya? I'll just tuck her back into bed!" "Oh, sure." Dorothy nodded and followed Karen into the living room.
Watching Karen gently carry her daughter back to her room and then cautiously shut the door, Dorothy finally raised her voice a bit.

Karen pointed at the TV screen and squinted her eyes in a smile, "Knew you'd trackdown here, bestie. You really get me, I knew I wasn't wrong about ya!" "1 Given the situation, Dorothy was at a loss for how to broach the topic she'de to discuss.
She'd even planned to pull out a pack of tissues in advance, ready to wipe away Karen's tears! "Have a seat." Karen pulled Dorothy down onto the couch and handed her a plate of washed apples, “Here, have one. These apples are super sweet." Dorothy took an apple, sighed deeply, and said, "Karen, listen..." "Stop! If you're here because Jeffrey sent you to plead his case, I don't wanna hear it." "I'm not on Jeffrey's side, nor am I trying to make excuses for him. I just think you should cool down a bit. You're married, after all. You can't just toss around the word 'divorce' like it's nothing. What about the kid?" Karen raised an eyebrow, "What about her? Don't make it sound like she'll be an orphan if we split! Whether she's withor Jeffrey, she'll be just fine, won't she?" "1 "Dorothy, the moment you opened your mouth, I almost thought it was my mom nagging at me!" She rolled her eyes and nearly bit off half the apple in one go, "Honestly, do you guys really think Jeffrey and I are a good match?" Dorothy frowned slightly, her tone earnest.
"You both chose to get married. And now there's a child. After all this time, what's not to match? Jeffrey...he realizes his mistake." "You all have no idea what I care about! It's the fact that Jeffrey's word means nothing!" Karen set the apple down, her expression turning serious, "He lied toonce, he can do it again, and again. And what then? Am I supposed to constantly decipher whether he's telling the truth or not?" Dorothy wanted to rebut, but... perhaps Karen had a point.
Chapter 1161 2 "But he's changed now, hasn't he?" "And yet he still hit the bars, didn't he?" "I " Karen threw up her hands and widened her eyes, "Am I the one pushing him to the bars? Don't tellit's because we fight that he needs to 'unwind'! It's not like Jeffrey's the only one who knol how to have fun-1, Karen, can have my fun too! I didn't, because I respect marriage."
