"Nothing left to say." Karen no longer wanted to speak to him.
"Con, Karen, you were about to spill the beans! Tell me, I'm dying to know." Karen shrugged off his touch with a cold detachment, keeping him at arm's length, her eyes tinted with revulsion.
"Don't touch me." Silence fell.

"Karen, please, I'm begging you. Just letknow, okay?" Jeffrey's delayed realization dawned on him - maybe she was considering forgiveness. His heart clenched in anticipation! What did this mean?

"Jeffrey, go hto your daughter. Don't makedespise you more." Karen knew this was the end of the road for them.
And the child...
Well, was there even a question? "Karen, believe it or not, I'm crazy about you. I wanted a lifetwith you!" Jeffrey reached out, hoping to pull her back, but his hand hovered in the air before falling back in despair. "I'm sorry for hurting you. If I'd known about Paige and me, I would've never pursued you. Can you believe me? I really didn't know!" "Yeah, I believe you."

But the existence of her own child would likely remain unknown to him.
Karen wouldn't follow in Paige's footsteps; having Dorothy as an example was more than enough. Besides, Dorothy dared to have two kids for Everett because he was her one and only, forever closed to anyone else. But Karen was different.

And you, you chose your moments of pleasure with Paige, so now it's only right that you take responsibility for her and your child." "Karen, I'm planning to leave Eldorria City. You don't have to worry aboutbothering you again." "Good." Her response was merely a nod, her face void of emotion. It was this kind of reaction that hurt the most.
"So, there's really nothing else you want to say to me?" Jeffrey couldn't bear the thought of her walking away, each glance feeling like the last, wishing he could savor the sight without blinking.
