Chapter 75

Dorothy clearly hadn’t thought that fat and she was taken aback when she heard it.

“Just call me Kenneth. That’s what everyone at lome calls me

She nodded, feeling a bit awkward, but under those circumstances, what else could she have been

picky about?

If she could find a guy to introduce to her mother, that would have been good enough! She just needed

to appease her until the surgery

was over

After getting into Kenneth’s car, Dorothy realized he was well prepared.

Not only had he bought a basket of fruits, but also several hours of expensive supplements. How much

did they even cost?

She sneakily pulled out her phone and checked her bank balance

There was only few thousand bucks. She wasn’t even sure if it was enough to pay Fim back.

Kenneth followed her gaze and smiled, “Karen said you’ve been busy with work and probably didn’t

have time to prepare anything. So, I picked up some stuff along the way! I can’t meet your mom empty

handed. Your mom would never believe it”

He was so considerate that it made Dorothy feel even more embarrassed, Tim already taking up your

time, and now I’m making you do all this thinking for me. I really appreciate it! How much do I owe you

for all this stuff?

“No need, it wasn’t much, Consider it as me visiting your mom on Karen’s behalf! Otherwise, she would

have to buy something too

“Let’s be clear about this. You must take the money. Darothy knew that her words sounded a bit harsh

and distant, but what she feared the most was awing others.

Whether it was money or favors, she needed to pay them back to the best of her abilities.

“How are we supposed to develop that couple vibe if you’re this uptight? Won’t your mom see through

us in a second?” Kenneth had also noticed her character and tried to reassure her, “How about this?

First get into the mindset, think of me as your boyfriend, and as for these matters, we can talk about

them after we get through today.”

She looked at Kenneth and managed to squeeze out a stiff smile.

She knew his suggestion was right, but the thought of pretending to be in a loving relationship with her

best friend’s brother made her feel uncomfortable from head to toe.

The car soon arrived at the hospital Before they could walk in, Bellas call came in.

We’re downstairs. We’ll be night there.”

After saying that, Dorothy hung up the phone, and turned to Kenneth with a worried look “Mr. Nelson,

you’d better brace yourself. My mom is very angry about this. She might overreacl.”

*Don’t worry, Karen has already reminded me many times”

After saying that, Kenneth placed his large hand gently on her shoulder and curled his lips. “Once we

go in, I’ll start calling you Dorothy. and you call me Kenneth. Don’t forget.”

The sudden physical contact made Dorothy feel uncomfortable, as if all the hair on her body were

standing on end.

But she only had one shot at that. If her mom found out he was a stand–in, things could have gotten

even worse! So, she had to play her part well today

She nodded, closed her eyes, and tried to convince herself not to reject his closeness.

As she was thinking, the image of Everett popped into her mind!

It seemed that she could only lower her guard if she imagined Kenneth as Everett.

“Are you ready?”

There was a touch of indulgence and gentleness in his voice that would have made anyone believe he

wasn’t just pulled in at the last

minute.

Dorothy thought that he must have been treating her as his sister Karen, right? That’s why he was able

to get into character so quickly.

“I’m ready. Let’s go.”

There was no escaping this anyway.
