Adrienne said awkwardly, "Daddy, you should order less later. I need to start losing weight."
"I've already finished ordering. Better luck next time, or you could start losing weight tomorrow?" Theodore chuckled and pinched her little face. She really had put on some weight. She was a child but self- control was still necessary, otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for them to lose weight in the future.
Everleigh looked at her and said, "That's it for today. How about tomorrow?"
"Okay fine, otherwise, I won't have the energy to lose weight anyway." Hearing their conversation, Adrienne immediately picked up her cutlery and began to eat happily.
Everleigh curled her lips. She always felt that Adrienne seemed to enjoy hearing those words.
The four of them were about to return to the Trevino family home after eating and drinking their fill.
Theodore didn't understand. "Why don't we just go back to my place?"
Everleigh shook her head and said, "I'll explain it to you later. Let's go back to the Trevino family home
first."
Theodore realised that something was up, so he didn't ask any more questions and went straight to the manor.
At this moment, only Leon and Selena were home, and he looked like he had nothing left for him to live for.
"Selena, I can't really mingle around with rich people," he said weakly.
He had never felt as tired as he did that day.
Allen Group was kind of a big deal and he used to manage it, but most of the time, the company was under his father's control. Otherwise, how would he have time to go out and fool around with women?
Selena poured him a glass of water and said, "You will get used to it. I've already turned down the script. If you can't handle it, I can help you out."
He held her hand and looked at her with a face full of affection. "Thank you very much. I know that you like acting the most. Well, you can continue acting after I'm done dealing with the company's affairs."
She nodded. That was all she could do for the time being.
However, deep down she understood that if she really wanted to make a comeback, she would have fewer resources because of the large number of newcomers who would compete with her.
When Everleigh came in, she heard Leon's words and suggested, "If you really wanted to thank her, why don't you sponsor a show for her?"
Leon and Selena looked over when they heard Everleigh. They also saw Theodore with the children with her.
"Why did you come back at a time like this?" Leon asked unhappily.
Everleigh sighed helplessly. "This is my home. Why can't I come? Besides, if you are telling the truth, go straight to the room with her."
Selena's face flushed bright red immediately. She lowered her head and stopped talking, secretly pinching Leon too. It was all his fault for making them look stupid.
Her pinch was so painful that Leon couldn't open his mouth; he could only pretend that he didn't feel anything.
Little did they know their behavior had been observed by the four of them. Adrienne was about to speak, but was stopped by Alastair. "Mommy, Daddy, we are going up to rest."
"Sure. Go ahead and rest." Everleigh knew that they still had school the following day, so they had to go to bed early.
"Selena, please help me take care of them for me for a few days. I need to take a quick trip to Hallowy City," Everleigh stopped joking and said seriously.
Selena noticed her serious expression and knew that she had urgent matters to attend to. "Go ahead. I'll take good care of the children."
"I'll be back before their performance. Also, tell Hilda that Adrienne wants to eat sushi and to make something simple for them."
"Alright." Selena also knew about their performance. She knew it from Adrienne's loud rambling when she came back from school.
It was difficult not to know.
When Theodore learned that she was going to Hallowy City he immediately knew that there was news from Elvir.
No wonder she had to return home that day.
