Chapter 42
She had met Karen’s brother before. They were actually cousins, but they were so close that they called each other brother and sister He was the total opposite of Karen. He was super mature and stable. He became a physics professor at a young age, so he was clearly an intellectual.
Just as Dorothy arrived at Enlightenment Church, she saw a woman frantically waving at her by a pillar
She reluctantly walked over. “There are so many people around. Aren’t you afraid they’d laugh at you?”
“Who cares? There are a lot of people here, and I was afraid you wouldn’t see me. Karen chuckled, then nodded towards the man beside her. “This is my brother, Kenneth, Remember him? The chatty professor”
Dorothy chuckled. 1 remember”
Back then, both of them had just quit their previous jobs to work at the Prosperity Consortium. Her brother being overprotective, bought a small duplex nearby for her that was fully furnished
was obvious that he was a considerate and caring brother, so they got along well.
Kenneth patted his sister on the head in exasperation. “I did all that for your own good”
“Yeah, yeah, you and mom are always on the same side.” Karen rolled her eyes while throwing an arm over Dorothy’s shoulder. “Let me introduce my bestie, Dorothy She’s gorgeous, kind–hearted and currently single.”
Dorothy was caught off guard by this introduction
Luckily, Kenneth was used to his sister’s antics and extended a hand to Dorothy. “Hi, I’m Kenneth. We met when I helped Karen move.”
“Nice to see you again” She shook his hand politely then withdrew it
The three of them went to the main hall to pray. Then Karen claimed she was hungry, and Kenneth offered to buy some shacks and
water
Once he left, Karen started winking at Dorothy
“What do you think of my brother? Any chance for the two of you *
Dorothy was taken aback “Stop joking! Don’t play matchmaker”
“I’m serious! My brother came here yesterday and I found out he broke up with his girlfriend half a year ago. He’s single too!” Karen was overjoyed when she heard this “I wouldn’t trust any jerk with you, but if it’s my brother. Ill stake my life on it. He’d make a great husband. He has a stable job with a high income, and he’s the only child. You know my uncle’s business, Everfresh Mart. It’s more than enough to cover your mom’s medical bills” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Stop!” Dorothy interrupted her. “If that’s your intention, then Im leaving.”
“Why? Don’t you like my brother?”
“I never thought about him in that way” She knew Karen meant well, but it simply wasn’t possible.
As they were talking, Kenneth came back with the snacks.
He gave Karen one and handed Darthy one without garlic.
*I remember Karen saying you don’t eat garlic.”
“Thank you.” Dorothy was okay initially, but after what Karen said, she felt awkward.
After roaming around the church, she decided to go back to the hospital to see her mom.
“Let me drive you. I came in my car” Kenneth looked at Dorothy gently.
Karen nodded vigorously. “Perfect! I want to shop around more. You guys, go ahead”
“No, it’s fine. L‘
Before Dorothy could finish, someone was calling her name from behind.
She instinctively tumed around to see a black Maybach parked by the road. The window rolled down halfway, revealing Everett’s handsome face.
“Dorothy, come here”
“Mr. Lopez?”
