Her mother actually called Kenneth directly?
Deathyâs eyebrows were about to tangle into a knot. A wave of anger in her chest was on a rampage,
threatening to burst out!
The feeling of being controlled and coerced in everything was really infuriating her
âYou just went and contacted him without even telling me I already told you heâs really busy He only
agreed to save your dignity!â âAre you questioning me? Bellaâs temper flared up on the other end. âWho
do you think Iâm doing all this for?! You just went and got marned without even telling your own mother!
I should be the one pissed off here! just want him to do more for you, to spend more time with you.
Whatâs wrong with that?!â
Dorothy slammed the phone down, the loud bang echoing in the room.
There it was again.
All for her own good!
But what did
mean to be for her own good? Was it whatever she thought was good?
Dorothy ined to reassure herself, not wanting to be affected by those things. After all, her momâs
upcoming surgery was the primary
concem
After a momentâs pause, she called Kenneth,
Soon, a scothing and warm voice came through
âI was just about to call you. How come a gentleman named Kevin contacted me today?â
âItâs like this, because your project is a key one. The company, to be safe decided to assign a more
competent person to communicate with you!â
Kenneth chuckled, âI think your capability is already enough.â
âThanks for the compliment.â Dorothy hadnât forgotten how he helped her with the water the previous
night. âAnd thanks for last night! I was in such a rush for the meeting that i didnât get a chance to thank
you properly
âThat was nothing. It was just a piece of cake. Kenneth had guessed the purpose of her call. It
definitely wasnât to chat about such Irivial things. âWbout your momâs surgery, Iâve agreed to be thereâ.
The mention of that gave Dorothy a headache
âSorry about that I didnât expect her to go over my head and contact you directly
âitâs fine. In her eyes, Iâm her sonâinâlaw isnât it a given that I accompany my motherâinâlaw for her
surgery?â
He said that but Dorothy felt uncomfortable.
She thought that once the last scene was over, everything would have been all right. She didnât expect
that twist.
âYou donât have to go that day. I can explain it to her myself. Everythingâs ready, and the micreyâs been
spent, so she cant back out.â
âDorothy.â Kenneth called her su smoothly since he changed the way he addressed her âIf my going
can relieve her worries, even make her happy, why not? Iâm free this weekend anyway.â
âBut
âWe donât need to make it so clearâcut. Just think of me as a friend doing a small over.â
Dorothy thought for a moment but still declined
âOnce you tell a lie, you have to cover it up with countless more. I donât have the time to maintain the
lies Iâve told before. Better to let her know the truth Sounerâ
On the other end of phone, there was a long silence befarm Kenneth sighed.
âAll night, I do as you say. If anything comes up, feel free to call me.â
âMmm, thank you!
After hanging up, Dorothy finally noticed a message from Heather
Because she was on a call, the message had just arrived.
Sorry to bother you, but do you know the size of Everettâs clothes? Iâm afraid I might buy a size too
small and itâll be tight on him.]
Dorothy was kind of impressed by Heather.
