"Ephraim said he's not afraid, that he's going to do justice! We've signed the
contract of engagement, and if he reneges on it, it's a breach of contract." Alaw firm reneging on a deal? That would be a public relations disaster.
They'd never risk taking such a step.
"Ah, well, at least you've got a lawyer on board," Kenneth said, his brow furrowing with concern but ultimately letting the matter be. "Anyway, how about Karen? I've been trying her number, but no answer. Is she still sleeping?" Dorothy hesitated for a moment, clearing her throat before responding.
"Well... she, uh, she and Jeffrey are back together." "What?" "Kenneth, I get it— you're worried Jeffrey might break her heart again. To be honest, I wasn't his biggest fan at first either, mainly for that reason. But after everything that's happened, I think Jeffrey's serious this time. And Karen really does like him." At the end of the day, Karen's feelings for him were what mattered most.
Even if she tried to hide it, Dorothy could see it clearly.
Otherwise, why would Karen be so emotional? She'd tear up watching TV, get weepy over dinner, even let a few tears fall in the shower. Sure, hormones played a part, but it was more than that. She felt trapped, heartbroken, and couldn't stand the thought of losing the little one growing inside her.

"That Jeffrey's a playboy, Dorothy. He's been around the block-trust me, I've asked around. My buddies say he's bad news!" Kenneth was, of course, protective of his cousin, and had done his own digging on Jeffrey.
What he found fueled his desire to see them split up for good! And now, after all the of their breakup, they had reconciled? "She knows all about his past," Dorothy reassured him.
"So, I'm worried she's been brainwashed! You know Karen-she melts at the sight of a good-looking guy, and damn it, Jeffrey is... well, he's got that look." It pained Kenneth to admit it.
Whether it was Everett or Jeffrey, both men had looks that were undeniably striking.
"Karen isn't as gullible as you think! Jeffrey really worked to win her over, and she kept him at arm's length for ages! They broke up over a misunderstanding, and now that it's cleared up, it's only natural they'd patch things up. Don't worry so much. Karen can make her own decisions." Dorothy chose not to delve into the specifics of the misunderstanding. It wasn't a pleasant topic, and it would only make Kenneth more anxious.
"Just make sure Karen calls me when you reach her. I want to have a word with her myself," Kenneth insisted, still uneasy.
Dorothy chuckled softly, "Will do." After hanging up, she opened WhatsApp and messaged Karen about Kenneth's request for a callback.
Once she was done, she closed her laptop and walked to the window to take in the view below.
The neighborhood was bustling with residents from the nearby apartment buildings. The streets were lively with groups of people milling about.
