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."
"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."
