Chapter 477
Christopher was an observant person. He put down his teacup, got up, and went back to his room.
He wanted to give the two of them some privacy.
After he had left, Everleigh sat next to Theodore and planted a gentle kiss on his lips. She smiled, "Jealous?"
"Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"Then why are you showing me a moody face?" She didn't believe him. He was clearly angry.
"I'm just thinking, what's on your aunt's mind? Doesn't she know that you have children?" He took a deep breath. He was unhappy, but it wasn't because of the flowers.
He knew what kind of person Everleigh was. She would never cheat on him and hurt his feelings like that.
She leaned on his shoulder and replied, "Actually, my aunt wants to give me the company. She just wants to pave the way for me."
His expression froze when he heard that. "Did she really say that to you?" "Yeah, but I'm not really interested in business. It's better to just hand it over to Alexander." She didn't understand his question.
He didn't say much either, but he looked troubled.
"You should rest early. Don't you have to go to the hospital tomorrow?"
"Yes, I'll take a shower then. You should rest early too." Everleigh then headed to the bathroom. Just as she was about to turn around and grab her phone, she saw Theodore throwing the flowers
into the trash can. The corners of her mouth raised, and she entered the bathroom without getting her phone.
Seeing that he was trying to hide his jealousy, she really wanted to laugh.
What a cute man.
Two days had passed in the blink of an eye. On the night before they left, Christopher received a call from his personnel.
"What did you just say?"
"Are you sure about that?"
"Okay, got it." He hung up the phone and looked at Everleigh solemnly.
"Who is that? What's with your expression?" She asked as she packed her belongings. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
He glanced at Theodore, thought for a moment and said, "Everleigh, there's something I have to tell you."
"Go ahead, I'm listening," she responded without even raising her head.
"I've just received news from our country. There are signs showing that someone else entered the airport that day, possibly a key figure." He hesitated for a moment before saying it out loud.
She was delighted to hear the news, but she hoped that it wasn't someone from the Jenkins family.
"Who's that person?"
"Here, see for yourself." He then showed Everleigh a photo.
When she looked at the photo, she stood there in a daze as if her mind had just exploded.
Noticing that she seemed pretty disturbed, Theodore walked over and took a look at the photo too. The person in the photo was none other than Saniogo.
He looked rather young in the photo, but looking at the face from the side, it was definitely him.
"Saniogo Jenkins?"
"No... Impossible... He's my eldest uncle, he would never hurt his own brother..." She said in disbelief.
The panic and helplessness in her eyes were obvious. She just couldn't believe that Saniogo was the one who had done it.
"We don't believe it either. We'll be back tomorrow morning, and then we'll do a proper investigation. Who knows, there might be some kind of misunderstanding," Theodore comforted her.
He would definitely get to the bottom of it.
In fact, the both of them could see that Saniogo really loved Everleigh. If he was just trying to make it up to her, it was a really strange way to do so.
She sat on the sofa in shock. For a moment, her mind was blank. She simply couldn't accept the truth.
She could still remember when she first met Saniogo, his eyes were tearful, while he told her how he had been searching for her over the years. She would never forget the expression on his face.
How could he be a liar?
No way. It was impossible.
There must have been some kind of misunderstanding in it.
The nightlife abroad wasn't quiet at all. Everleigh was so distraught that she couldn't even sleep. She got up and went to the living room to pour herself a glass of water. To her surprise, Theodore was lying on the sofa.
"Why aren't you sleeping in your own room?" She asked in surprise.
He was awake as well. When he heard the bedroom door open, he was already woken up. He sat up and turned the lights on. He looked at Everleigh, whose eyes were really red.
"I know you're feeling down, so I want to keep you company," he responded as he walked toward her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
She smiled bitterly, "I just want to be alone for a moment."
"I know. That's why I'm here in the living room, so that I won't disturb you. If there's anything you need, just let me know." He wasn't insistent. He knew that she needed some time to calm down.
Everleigh poured herself a large glass of water and drank it up. She left it on the table and went straight back to her bedroom.
Theodore didn't mind; he just wanted her to be happy.
The night had passed, but she didn't sleep at all. Her mind was occupied with Saniogo's words and expressions.
At the airport, Missha was already waiting for her. Looking at Everleigh's pale face, she asked, "What's wrong? Have you not been able to sleep well?" "Yeah, I've been quite busy these few days, so I didn't sleep well." Everleigh adjusted her glasses, trying to cover up her pale face.
Missha didn't continue asking. Instead, she passed her some things. "Here are some gifts. They're for the two kids."
"Alright, thank you, Aunt Missha."
"When will you bring your children here? I can bring them around for some fun," Missha asked excitedly.
"Sure, when I have time." Everleigh looked at her watch. It was almost time for her flight. Then, she raised her head and mentioned, "It's time for me to go in now. Aunt Missha, you should come back more often."
"Okay."
When Everleigh was going through the customs, she saw that Christopher and Theodore had already gone in early as they didn't want Missha to notice them.
In the plane, Everleigh was really tired, so she fell asleep. She only woke up after the plane had landed.
"Let's go home and have a good rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Seeing that she was exhausted, Christopher didn't want to continue
investigating straight away.
Theodore's car arrived first, so he sent her back home.
The Meyer family would be there to fetch Christopher too, so he didn't have to worry.
At the entrance of the Trevino family's home, Theodore caressed Everleigh's cheeks and said, "Everleigh, no matter what happens, I'll be there for you."
"I know." She squeezed out a smile, which looked worse than crying.
She really wanted to make them feel better, but she wasn't in the mood to smile.
"If you don't feel like smiling, just don't. There's no need for such customary acting between us. If you're in trouble, I'll do my best to help you, okay?" He looked at her sorrowfully.
He didn't want her to be sad anymore.
"Thank you." Then, she turned around and left.
He only drove off after she had entered her house and shut the door.
In the house, she put her luggage down and immediately laid down to rest while looking at the familiar room around her.
