Chapter 3018
"The problem is, he's not Everett now; he's Lexter," Lulu reiterated.
"It doesn't matter who he is, the bad deeds are his doing," Karen said, her face pale with anger.
Dillon tried to calm Karen, "Don't rush, let's figure out what's really going on."
Daniel, recovering from his shock, asked Nicole, "Are you sure about this?"
"We've confirmed it. There's no mistake, and I've seen him myself." How could she possibly mistake someone she’d seen with her own eyes?
"But..." Daniel started to say something, only to be interrupted by Benjamin, "It's about time for dinner, let’s eat."
"Ah?" Everyone was momentarily stunned, then Dillon invited everyone, "Alright, let's have dinner."
The family paused, then together, without bringing up the matter again, they rose and headed to the dining room.
"Ah, we're late," Dexter and Emma said as they entered with Ellar. "We waited for Ell ar for a bit, then got stuck in traffic."
No problem, we were just about to eat, come on over," Dillon invited them.
"Alright," they agreed, and the whole family settled down in the dining room.
Dexter, sensing something amiss during dinner, quietly asked Daniel, "Did something happen?"
"Everett is back," Daniel whispered to Dexter.
"What?" Dexter was taken aback, frowning, "Isn't he..."
"Just eat," Daniel shook his head, indicating that Dexter should not discuss it further.
Dexter understood, glanced at Benjamin, and said, "Oh, dinner."
Throughout the meal, everyone found various topics to discuss, but no one mentioned Everett again.
