Chapter 618
Chapter 618
Everleigh didn't go home because Saniogo asked them to stay for the night to let Alastair and Adrienne accompany him.
She did not refuse and agreed to it.
In the evening, she sent a message to Theodore, telling him that she wouldn't go home for the time being. He called her directly.
He said in a resentful tone, "You want me to stay home alone?"
When she heard such a tone, she was stunned at first and then laughed, "You have been staying alone for so many years. Do you still care about it this time?"
"How can it be the same? It isn't the past. I have you now. What am I supposed to think?" He said righteously and confidently. He even had this idea in his heart. Why not get married earlier?
That way, no one could take her away from him.
She didn't know what he was thinking. She chuckled and said, "You used to have Josephine with you, didn't you? Aren't you tempted at all? You almost married her after all."
When it came to this, she was a little angry.
Josephine was involved in that matter in the past. She didn't know what role Josephine played in the show, nor did she know if the show was put up by Madison or Wilson.
In short, everything was a little messed up.
Theodore felt guilty when he heard these words. He had been deceived by Josephine in the first place, and it had been hard for him to hide the matter away. If he knew the truth, he wouldn't have
let Everleigh suffer so much.
"I'm sorry."
"I just said it casually. Don't take it seriously." She did say it casually. What happened in the past had already passed.
He pursed his lips and didn't say anything. The feeling of remorse grew heavier.
The next day, Theodore went straight to the Jenkins family home and even bought Everleigh's favorite breakfast. When Saniogo saw him, he didn't know what was going on. "You..."
"Uncle, I'm here to see Everleigh. Has she woken up yet?" Theodore said as he looked towards the staircase.
Saniogo was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. "Mr. Godfrey, you don't have to be so impatient."
Theodore's thoughts were seen through, but he didn't seem to be shy or embarrassed. He said helplessly, "Uncle..."
"Stop, it's better if you call me Mr. Jenkins." Saniogo really couldn't accept the way he addressed him at the moment.
He felt that it was a little strange.
Why did it sound so strange? It was mainly because Theodore had a powerful aura. He was like a man who had just returned as a king. Having such a person calling him "Uncle" was enough to make him get goosebumps.
"Mm? Theodore, why are you here?" Everleigh didn't know what was going on when she saw him.
Theodore turned his head and shook the items in his hands. "I'm here to atone for my sins."
She knew what he meant. It was about the matter that she dug up the previous night.
She asked helplessly, "What are you doing?"
"I've already angered my wife. If I didn't come, I'm afraid that I'll be abandoned," he replied as he pretended to feel aggrieved. He looked very different from his usual self.
She was shocked. Theodore's reaction was quite weird that day.
Not only her, but Saniogo was shocked too. What was going on?
Was he really awake?
Everleigh smiled awkwardly, "You'd better be more clear."
"Okay." Theodore's eyes shone with a hint of a smile. He was just joking. He wasn't used to speaking in such a manner.
The three of them sat in the dining room for breakfast. Everleigh said to the servant, "Wake Alastair and Adrienne up."
"Forget it. The children are not going to school, so just let them sleep for a while. Go do whatever you have to do today. Leave the children here and come pick them up at night," Saniogo interrupted her. He had always liked these two kids and couldn't get enough of them staying by his side.
"We... She wanted to speak up.
"Then, I'll have to trouble you to watch over them. Please send them to school tomorrow. Everleigh and I will be busy," Theodore interrupted her words. The two of them hadn't had enough time to spend with each other. It would be better if someone was able to take care of their children.
Saniogo didn't know what to say even if he saw through his thoughts. Forget it, he liked these two kids too, so they might as well stay here.
When Everleigh and Theodore left the Jenkins family, she laughed. "You're making your purpose obvious. My uncle even laughed at you."
"What's there to joke about? You and I are husband and wife. What else can they say?" He had a calm expression on his face. He didn't seem embarrassed in the slightest.
She was a bit speechless. "When did you become so thick-skinned?"
"You can't catch up with your wife if you're shy. Go to the hospital. I'll pick you up after work. By the way, there's a dinner party by the ocean tonight. I'll take you there and you can eat the seafood you like." Theodore had already thought about the trip. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
She guessed his intentions, but she didn't refuse. In his words, they were husband and wife. No one dared to say anything.
"Okay, I'll leave the arrangements to you."
His eyes flashed with a hint of a smile.
In the hospital, when Everleigh finished her work, she remembered her parents' matter and called Elvir immediately.
When she thought he wouldn't take the call, a hoarse voice came from the other end of the line, "Miss Trevino."
"Mr. Carter, I didn't disturb you, did I?" She felt that something was wrong with his voice.
He probably hadn't rested for a long time.
"Well, I was about to get up. What's up, Miss Trevino?" He continued.
She took a deep breath and said, "I just want to know if you have made any progress."
"Not yet. It's not easy to find him," he answered quickly. He had been there for so many days, but there was still no clue. He knew that Everleigh was very anxious too.
Hearing his words, she was a little disappointed and said, "It's okay. I just want to ask you. Have a good rest." Then, she hung up the phone.
Disappointment filled her heart gradually. If she hadn't heard Saniogo's words, she might not have been so anxious. After all, when she didn't know about her parents, pursuing the truth was only for the sake of her responsibility towards them. It was different now. Knowing the story about her parents was just a part of it, while fulfilling her responsibility as a child was another part of it.
That was why she couldn't wait to know everything about it.
"Everleigh, what are you thinking about?"
She came to her senses and looked at Christopher, who was standing at the door. "When did you come?" "I called you several times. What are you thinking about?" He pulled over a chair and sat beside her. Every time she thought about things, she would get carried away. She didn't even care about the people around her.
He had said many times that it was not good to be in such a state, but she just wouldn't listen to him.
"It's alright. Why are you so late?"
"I sent food to Erine. What are you thinking about that's got you so carried away?" He did not want to talk about his own business, so he asked about hers with concern.
She chuckled and replied, "What else can I do? I'm just investigating my parents' issue."
"Any clues from Elvir yet?" His eyes slightly sank and he said in a deep voice.
She nodded. The clues were like having no clues at all. She was very distressed.
"You don't have to rush. Take your time."
