Chapter 378

Dorothy instinctively glanced in the direction he pointed

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 Kenneth

through 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 and

the 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 came

without 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 mood

today, it would be perfect to find a hotel take a nice bath get a good sleep, and then we can hit the road

when 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 probably

guess 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 else

mattered.

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 give

me 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 never

considered whether her daughter could handle it, only wanting to prevent her from going down the

same path she did.

Karen loved her, but that was a friendship. Karen had her own family to love her own life, her social

circle, 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 of

any slight oversight
