“Keith! What are you waiting for? Let’s leave this house!” Evan ordered. He carefully guided his wife away from her seat. When he noticed Keith’s puzzled expression, he repeated, “Let’s go, Keith!”

“Evan, did you not hear me? Keith betrayed you!” Charles reminded. “He made sure you suffered all those years, not seeing Shantelle! You should punish him! Ban him from your businesses and your connections!”

Charles glowered at Keith, saying, “He isn’t a friend to you and he doesn’t deserve your support i

“Enough!” Evan barked. “I know everything! I know every inch of Keith’s betrayal!”

Silence fell upon the room as soon as Evan admitted it. He said, “But I forgave him! Everything that Keith did to keep Shantelle and me apart, I forgave him!”

“It’s water under the bridge! You are trying to stir up a long-buried problem!” Evan said. “I will repeat it; it was meant for us to keep our friendship.”

“Wendell, Sean!” Evan called. “Let’s go!”

Reality hit Wendell. Evan wasn’t going to pick a fight with Keith. Thus, he glanced at Charles Henderson and said, “Uncle, think about your decision because even I will support Keith.”

“And so will I,” Sean said. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Keith was still standing there with Karise. Shantelle had to call her friend to join them. Eventually, they all made it outside the Hendersons’ mansion and drove to Evan’s home with heavy hearts.

Evan’s kitchen staff was not prepared for the unexpected dinner, resulting in the couple ordering Chinese food for everyone.

“Hey, hey! What does an easter bunny order from a Chinese Restaurant?” Sean asked. He had been trying to lighten the mood since their arrival by throwing jokes. “Come on, Karise!”

Forcing a smile, Karise asked, “What is it?”

“Hop Suey!” Sean said before laughing altogether, 1

“That was a good one,” Wendell said.

“It was a very good one,” Shantelle remarked. She turned to her friend and stated, “It made Karise smile.”

“Look, Karise. Don’t worry about it. Uncle Charles had always been indifferent. He and Keith hadn’t always had the best relationship, so Keith would never listen to Uncle Charles. For once, I am thankful that Keith is stubborn that way,” Wendell said. “Moreover, in our age and prime, Uncle Charles has nothing to hold Keith back. Besides, didn’t you hear what he said earlier?”

“Fuck man, I never heard Keith say the L word,” Sean commented before taking another bite of his spicy ribs. He glanced at Karise, and after

chewing his food, Sean added, “I believe that this is it for Keith. So, trust him.”

“I have never supported Keith with his womanizing ways, but with his relationship with you, I support him all the way. This time around, Keith is changing,” Wendell expressed.

“I can say the same thing, Karise,” Shantelle said, reaching for her friend’s hand and gripping it.

With a sigh, Karise replied, “Thank you, guys. Thank you for your reassuring words.” At that point, she cried. Karise put down her food and embraced Shantelle. She revealed, “I felt so little in front of Keith’s father, honestly. I have never been looked down in that way, much more being called a lowborn!”

Shantelle and Karise embraced each other longer. Sean even joined in the hug. When Karise felt better, she turned to the direction outside the dining area and said, “Wonder if Evan and Keith talked it out.”

At the mansion’s patio, Evan and Keith were conversing earnestly. The man asked, “What else do I have to know, Keith? Are there any more surprises? Do tell because this is the only chance I’ll give you. If I find out something new again, I don’t know if I’ll be able to hold back from punching you!”

The truth was, the news of Keith paying off the private investigator was new to him, but he made it appear to Charles that he already knew. He did not want Charles to use that information between him and Keith.

“That’s it, Evan! I swear that’s it! And that was a long time ago – fuck, I had forgotten about it,” Keith admitted. “Please, Evan, forgive me for it. I’m not going to be in your way with Shanty, and I’ve proven that -”

“Keith, we have never had a detailed talk about the past. We simply accepted how things were and coped.” Evan groaned as he leaned back in his seat. He took a deep breath and said, “Promise me, Keith. That’s it.”

“That’s it!” Keith swore. “There is nothing else that you should know. I regretted all that, Evan. Everything

“Keith, I just don’t want us to be enemies.” Evan pointed with his hand, saying, “I want you to be happy because I have a selfish reason to make you happy. If you are happy with Karise, then I am comforted that you will never be my rival with Shanty.”

“Should I get mad at you? I am damn mad right now, but It isn’t worth it, and I won’t let it affect me. We have worked hard to get back to our peaceful relationship – it’s so tiring to get mad over the same thing,” Evan added. “All I want is for us to move on from the past completely.”

Keith nodded approvingly. He responded, “I’m with you on that.” He heaved with tears brimming in his eyes. He stood up and extended his hand to Evan, saying, “Thank you, Evan, for everything.”

Evan also stood up. He shook Keith’s hand and said, “Be happy and be firm with your decision. I will support you in every way.”

The man offered an embrace, which surprised Keith altogether. However, he happily accepted the hug, saying, “Thank you for supporting me, Evan. Never in a million years, despite what I have done to you, did I ever imagine you would still have my back. So thank you for forgiving me.” 1

Pulling away, Evan patted Keith’s back. He said, “Now, talk to Karise. She feels awful about what happened today.”

After that talk with Evan, Keith and Karise walked around the vast lawn of the mansion. It was from there that Karise expressed, “I’m scared.”

Keith held Karise’s hand and answered, “Don’t be.”

“Your father is right, you know. I do not come from wealth. I’m not like Shanty and your past flings,” Karise pointed out.

“And yet, you are the one I am with,” Keith said. He urged Karise to face him, and he cupped her face. He said, “Did you not hear what I said, Karise? Earlier, I said I love you. I don’t know when it happened, but it just happened. I will choose you over my parents.”

Karise gasped. She heard him for the first time, and that was quite a shock to her. They had never said those words to each other before. She honestly did not know what to believe.

She looked him in the eye, asking, “‘Are you sure about this, Keith? I don’t want to be a reason for your family to be torn apart

“My father should have thought about that before looking down on you.” Keith hugged Karise, saying, “I need you, Karise. You changed me into a better person. Every day, I look forward to going home early because of you. You made me feel things that I thought weren’t possible. I will fight for us. Promise me you’ll stand by my side.”

Karise wound up in tears. She embraced Keith and delighted in his scent. She did not know for how long they remained in each other’s hold, but soon, she softly replied, “I will fight for what we have because I can’t imagine a day without waking next to you. I love you too.”

“Wait, you love me, babe?” Keith faintly asked.

“Of course, silly. I would not stick around if I did not!” Karise frowned as she replied.

Keith’s smile stretched across his face. He said, “It’s just that you never said it.”

“You never said it too!” Karise reasoned.

“I guess we are the same. We’ve been trying to figure out how you feel about me, and I was too,” Keith said. He leaned over and sealed her lips with a kiss. He said, “I love you, babe.”

“I love you too,” Karise replied again.

In the front yard of Evan’s and Shantelle’s home, Karise and Keith made out, relishing in their flavors, following their confessions. They were at it so intensely that their desires became inflamed.

Grabbing Karise’s behind, Keith said, “I fucking want you right now.”

“We should,” Karise gasped, saying, “We should go home.”

“I don’t know if I can hold it,” Keith revealed. He looked around and said,” Car.”

“What?” Karise asked.

“In my car!” Keith said, grabbing her hand. “Come on, babe.”

They both hurried to the side of the driveway where Keith’s car was parked. Keith went in first, and Karise immediately straddled his lap.

When Keith fished under Karise’s skirt, his eyes narrowed. His girlfriend wasn’t wearing any underwear!

A hiss left Keith’s lips, and lust engulfed him. He said, “Babe, let’s rock the car.”
