Inside, Jeffrey had just finished tucking their daughter into bed and cout to the living room, raising an
eyebrow at his wife, "Was that Dorothy who dropped by?" "Yeah, but she's gone now."
Jeffrey, oblivious to the gravity of the situation, shrugged and chuckled, "That Dorothy, she's really Everett's

"Okay."
Karen nodded, choosing not to tell Jeffrey about the location Kenneth had sent her.

"Sure! Looking for anything in particular?"

to take back." After a pause, she quickly added, "You don't need to tell Everett, okay? If he calls asking, just say |
haven't left Karen's yet." Kevin was puzzled, "Why keep a simple pastry run from Mr. Lopez?"
"It's not about keeping secrets, it's just... in Everett's eyes, everywhere but Bay Residence seems

can finally settle down for a peaceful life!"
