Everleigh's gaze became gloomy. She had received a phone call from Missha before, but she didn't know how to talk with her, so she didn't pick up.
They had met that day, but she still felt a little awkward.
The performance ended and the parents beneath the stage applauded. Adrienne led her peers to take their bows, and then walked down the stage.
The performance ended rather quickly. Theodore and Everleigh told the teacher that they were going to take their children out for lunch.
The teacher agreed. It was mainly because during this event, many parents would want to take their children out for lunch, so it was nothing out of the ordinary.
Theodore booked a restaurant near the school. They were in a large private room. Everleigh received a call from Christopher, asking where they were.
She just remembered that Erine had said that she wanted to watch the performance. She was wondering why she didn't see her.
"We are at the restaurant. Do you want to come over?" "Of course, send me the address," he replied anxiously.
Everleigh hung up the phone and sent him the address.
"Who was it?" Cecil asked.
"It's Christopher and Erine. They said they wanted to watch Adrienne and Alastair's performance yesterday. They haven't come over until now. I thought they might have had something important to do, so I didn't call them."
Cecil sneered and said, "You don't even have to ask. Christopher must have overslept."
When Christopher and Erine came over, they walked in a hurry, and their faces were red.
"Christopher, why are you so late?" Adrienne questioned.
"I'm so sorry, my dear. I stayed up late last night and overslept," Christopher said apologetically.
Everleigh smirked. Apparently, Cecil had guessed it right.
Erine was also very embarrassed. Originally, she went to find Christopher, but seeing him sleeping so soundly, she didn't wake him up. Ironically, she overslept too as she stayed up late to read books.
As a result, both of them were late.
When Abraham and Saniogo heard them, they laughed out loud. All of them already knew Christopher's character.
Anyway, it is what it is.
"Alright, have a seat." Everleigh asked the waiter to bring them extra plates and cutleries.
The private room was filled with laughter. Everleigh had to go to the bathroom as she drank too much juice.
As she was washing her hands, she saw Missha.
"Aunt Missha, you're washing your hands too?"
"I was looking for you."
"What's the matter?" Everleigh turned her head and looked at her with a puzzled expression, but she knew very well why her aunt came to see her.
Missha looked at her and asked, "Everleigh, are you still angry with me for what happened before?"
"Aunt Missha of course not. How could I be angry with you? I only needed answers."
Missha was not a fool. How could she not read Everleigh's expression?
"Is that so?"
