Look at Mr. Turner here, beyond saving! You try to console the guy, and he won't have any of it."

Wesley's remark sent the two women beside him into fits of laughter, waving dismissively at Jeffrey, "Come on, if she's got you all riled up, stepping out for some air isn't the end of the world! A man's gotta have a social life, right?"

"No more drinking for me, I'm out."

Jeffrey felt that even a night out at the bar couldn't lift his spirits; he might as well head home and cuddle his daughter!

With that, he didn't even look back as Wesley called after him, striding towards the exit.

Reaching the doorway of the bar, Jeffrey lit up a cigarette and had barely taken a puff when his phone buzzed with a call from Everett.

"Where you at?"

From Everett's tone, Jeffrey could tell something was off, but he brushed it aside, thinking it was his own issue, not suspecting something might have happened on Everett's end.

"Just out... chatting with some buddies, what's up? Plans changed on you?"

"What buddies are you chatting with, a lady?" Everett cut straight to the chase, "Karen tried calling you, and a woman answered! You better think of an explanation, I'm heading to Bay Residence now to pick up Dorothy, see if I can smooth things over."
