Jeffrey wrapped his arms around her and with an easy motion; they both tumbled onto the couch.
"So why don't you just stay? Live here," he whispered, leaning in to plant a series of delicate kisses on her lips. "And if you feel weird about staying at my place, I could even put the house in your name."
"I'm not ready to think about marriage just yet."
"It doesn't have to be about marriage. The offer stands regardless."
Karen furrowed her brows, "Are you always this generous with women? We're talking about a villa in Eldorria City."
Even without knowing the exact figure, she was sure it wasn't cheap!
"Only the most generous for you," Jeffrey said, his gaze steady and unflinching, emphasizing every word. "Really, you're the only one I've ever brought home to meet my folks. The rest were just for fun."
Karen couldn't help but laugh, "So you admit you're a bit of a playboy then!"
"That's so unfair. I never made any promises to them! It was all just for fun from the get-go."
Jeffrey wasn't one for chasing after anyone. Most of his flings were one-night stands from the bar scene—pick up someone appealing, spend the night, leave some cash, and that was that.
None stayed around for more than a week.
Karen rolled her eyes. "I forgot to ask, with your kind of 'fun,' aren't you worried about catching something?"
"Catching what?" Jeffrey blinked, then quickly raised his hand as if taking an oath. "Absolutely not, I'm always careful."
He was scared, too. Even if there were no diseases, an unexpected child could be catastrophic.
No one's body could withstand such abuse.
He'd never seen even a hint of a smile on Everett's face, which promoted him to work overtime as well, anxious not to upset Everett further.
"Everett... he really loves Dorothy." Karen had to admit, both in heart and voice.
"And what about Dorothy? Does she love Everett?" Jeffrey's voice grew heavy, "Honestly, I feel like she hasn't given nearly as much to Everett as he's given to her."
"Do you know about the time Dorothy nearly died giving birth to Abigail and Langston? I was terrified. Signing the critical condition notice, I thought we were going to lose her."
Jeffrey was at a loss for words.
Karen let out a sigh, "Having grown up in a stable, two-parent household, it’s natural that you may not fully grasp Dorothy's actions and decisions. But from my perspective, Dorothy has already given Everett the greatest love she can."

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
