NovelEnglishKaren had always prided herself on being clear-headed and realistic about life.
But to Jeffrey, that was her biggest flaw.
"How can you just blurt out 'divorce' like that? After all these years together? I just went out for a few beers, and when you got mad, I cright back. This... this isn't really heading for divorce, is it?" He couldn't fathom this ending.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBing the laughingstock of all Eldorria City for getting divorced over a couple of drinks wasn't exactly Jeffrey's idea of a good time.
But that wasn't the point. The point was, how could Karen so casually throw around the "D" word, without even giving him a chance to make amends? "Why not? That's just what you think! I believe you've crossed a line with me. Don't I get to choose my own marital status?" Karen wouldn't even glance his way now, her gaze steadfastly averted.
Disappointed, she had shut down allmunication channels.
Jeffrey watched her, his fingers clenched into fists, then relaxing, before clenching again. He gritted his teeth, his tongue pressing against his cheek, "Karen, have you ever truly loved me?" "Don't asksomething so stupid! I don't want to answer!" "But I need to know!" he demanded, his voice harsher than usual, his teeth practically chattering, "All this time, I've been like a lovesick puppy following you around. Apart from when you first flirted with me, you've never made a move!" Silence.
"For Keh, you could talk about divorce. For Dorothy, you could bring it up. And now, just because I hit a bar to unwind, you're on it again! Am I really that dispensable?

No matter the scale of their arguments, he always tried to make peace.

Chapter 1164 2 What woman would say such a thing? Even if she was close to Dorothy, he was still her man! The father of her children! "You're hurting me!" Karen frowned, trying to push him away, but she was too weak.
Jeffrey, determined to get an answer today, wouldn't let go.
They stood locked in a standoff, neither willing to back down.
Until Karen's tense shoulders sagged, and she lowered her gaze.
"Jeffrey, I don't know if I love you or not, but your past actions and your reputation as a ladies' man have eroded my trust. You going to bars and nightclubs touches on that distrust." What she was talking about was a breaking point.
It had nothing to do with love.
"But I went, and I didn't do anything!" "You still don't understand." mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1
