Selena rolled her eyes at her. This woman was really good at talking nonsense. Of course she couldn't bear to see Leon suffer.
If Theodore didn't rest after working continuously for a few days, wouldn't Everleigh's heart ache for him too?
Everleigh knew that her sister was shy, so she stopped teasing her.
That night, Theodore stayed at the Trevino family's home.
Everleigh, exhausted due to Qusay's matter, fell asleep the moment she got in bed.
The next day, she saw Leon at the dining table after she got up. She chuckled, "When did you come back yesterday?"
"I came back this morning. I am just getting something to eat and will go to sleep later." He seemed to be very sleepy.
Seeing that he was so tired, she didn't say anything else. He had gone out early and returned late during this period of time. Even Alastair had mentioned it a few times.
When she thought of Alastair, he came walking downstairs. He was soon seated, waiting for Hilda to serve his meal.
"Why did you get up so early? Where is Adrienne?" Everleigh looked at him in confusion.
Alastair and Theodore's expressions were very similar. Their gestures and actions carried a hint of arrogance from time to time.
"She'll get up in a minute."
Everleigh raised her eyebrows but didn't bother too much about it.
Leon was getting more envious as he sat by the side, looking at the child who didn't even need his mother's help to get himself ready. When would he be able to have a child that he would be proud of?
Alastair picked up the slice of toast on the table and said coldly, "Uncle Leon, you and Aunt Selena are not married yet. As for having children, you're still too far away from that."
When Leon heard this, he almost spat out the food in his mouth. Did Alastair really need to put it like that? How did he know what he was thinking?
Everleigh, however, just ignored them. Alastair had always been very smart and knew what was going on just by looking at a person's facial expressions.
Theodore came down and saw them chatting at the dining table.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm full. You guys take your time." Leon finished the bread in his hands in a bite and went up to rest.
Theodore was a bit speechless with his speed, but didn't ask any further.
Theodore sent Alastair and Adrienne off to school. It was rare for them to take the children to school together.
The children's classmates were waiting for their arrival so they could go to class together.
Everleigh chuckled and said, "The two of them are quite close to their friends."
"Adrienne has a bright personality so many kids are willing to play with her. On the other hand, Alastair has a cold personality. Many girls like this kind of person," Theodore said in a low voice.
Everleigh was stunned when she heard this, "How do you know?"
He was not a gossiper. How could he know it so clearly?
A smile tugged at the corners of his lips. There were some things that he didn't need to understand but knew with just a glance. Besides, who hasn't had a childhood?
After Everleigh arrived at the hospital, she looked much better compared to the previous day. Christopher felt her change and couldn't help asking, "Are you happy?"
"Not really, but we would need to look ahead, no?" She sighed. Even if she was very distressed, what had happened had already happened.
He smiled without saying anything. In fact, this was how she was. She would always be in a good mood no matter how frustrating the matter was. No one could tell that she was in a bad mood.
Even if there was, everything would be gone after a night's sleep.
Just then, Cecil appeared.
"You look like a fool. What are you smiling about?" When she entered the room, she saw Christopher smiling.
