Chapter 654
Missha really blamed herself as she didn't expect things to turn out like this. If she had found out earlier, this would not have happened.
"Why didn't Adrienne come over?"
"She will after school." Everleigh wanted to bring her over too, but it was better for the child to concentrate on school.
Missha nodded. Everleigh was not wrong.
"Oh yeah, I think Uncle mentioned that there's a caregiver. Where's she?" Everleigh whispered as she gave her aunt a glass of water.
Missha took the cup and said, "She went to get something for me. I suddenly craved cherries, so I asked her to buy some."
"Cherries? I really like the sweet and sour taste of them too. They're especially delicious," Everleigh said with a smile.
Missha looked at her and thought of Welment, who also liked to eat cherries.
"In fact, your father also likes cherries, but he didn't dare to eat too much."
Everleigh asked, puzzled, "Why?"
"He's a president with a sweet tooth. If anyone knew, nobody would take him seriously. Although it's normal abroad, it's not normal here," Missha explained.
It suddenly dawned on Everleigh after hearing this. Everyone had different tastes and there was nothing wrong with that. Why was there a need to be so cautious?
"Welment was a very stern person, cold to almost everybody, but different only to his family. I liked to spend time with him because he would protect me."
Hearing these words, Everleigh suddenly became interested. "Aunt, can you tell me how my father and my mother met?"
Missha's expression was a little unnatural when she talked about it. "Actually, I have no idea. By the time I knew, they were already married. I didn't know much about your mother either. We rarely met."
"Really? But Uncle Saniogo said that you and my mother were very close," Everleigh asked.
Missha smiled faintly. "Yes, we were, but it was a long time after. I was not familiar with Lillian before. How could we be very friendly? Don't you agree?"
"I see." Everleigh didn't find her aunt's words very believable.
"I also heard that Welment and Lillian fell in love at first sight at a party. Then, they got together later." When Missha touched on this, her eyes darkened and she looked as if her boyfriend had married another woman.
Everleigh couldn't believe it when she thought about it. How could she have thought that? Missha and Welment were brother and sister. It must be because they were too close that Missha couldn't accept it.
It was noon when Saniogo came over. He noticed that Everleigh was here. "Everleigh, aren't you busy today?"
"Christopher's helping me out so I'm slacking off for a while," Everleigh responded.
"Saniogo, didn't you say you were going to sign a contract today? You don't have to come here on purpose," Missha said empathetically. She hadn't reached the point where she could move anyway.
"Alexander is back, so I don't need to go. He's at the office now and will come over to visit you later." If not for this, Saniogo would not have had time to see her.
Everleigh didn't expect them to come back so soon. God knew if Diana had been found.
At that moment, her mobile phone rang. It was from Cecil. Everleigh guessed that she already knew about Alastair and Adrienne. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Everleigh, are the children okay?" Cecil asked in a hurry.
Everleigh glanced at Missha and pointed to the door, signalling that she was going out to take a call.
Missha nodded. All of them thought she was still ill now, so she didn't say anything else.
"They're okay now. Why did you come back?" Everleigh asked as she walked towards the garden.
"How could I not? Alexander heard that something had happened to the children and we were all very anxious. He couldn't say it clearly, so I had to follow him back. How could something like this happen so suddenly?" Cecil was also very worried, she blamed Alexander for that. He should've mentioned something this big earlier.
Everleigh chuckled and said, "They're all fine now. Don't worry about them."
"How can that be? Who did it anyway?" Cecil asked to get closure.
She needed a clear explanation.
Everleigh sighed softly. "It's Wilson, but similar to before, there's no evidence." "It's fine as long as you know it's him. It's better than knowing nothing." Cecil was not surprised at her words. It was not
the first time for Wilson to do such a thing.
However, the children didn't deserve that.
Cecil felt that Everleigh was more sad than she was.
"Don't be discouraged. He'll get his karma sooner or later."
"I'm not discouraged. I believe that Theodore will give me an answer, and even though there are no findings now, it doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. I just have to wait."
From what happened that morning, it was clear that Theodore loved his two children very much. He was in a bigger hurry than anyone else after what happened.
"Forget it, this is your family's business. Well, I'll visit the two children in the evening."
"Okay." Everleigh didn't refuse. Cecil also loved the two children, so she was very anxious when she knew about this.
In the evening, the Trevino family home was livelier than ever. Alexander and Cecil came and even Christopher and Erine dropped by too. Adrienne was the happiest and was more talkative than usual. It was as if she was afraid that she would disregard the guests.
"Adrienne, aren't you tired? Look how dry your lips are. Drink some water." Adrienne hadn't stopped talking since Erine had come in.
Adrienne, very cheerfully picked up her glass of water and took a sip and continued, "Gee, this sort of thing is trivial."
"Haha, Adrienne, I'm really afraid your mouth will get tired," Christopher said with a smile as he held Erine's shoulders.
Adrienne rolled her eyes at him. "Christopher, don't you know my temper?"
"I do now," Christopher replied in a teasing tone.
Selena and Leon were busy in the kitchen. After a period of practicing, his cooking skills had improved a lot. Everleigh was also helping, but was shooed away by him.
"You should leave quickly. This is not very suitable for you."
Everleigh didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Do you have to say that?"
"Of course. I don't really have the guts to try your cooking. Only someone as strong as Theodore could stand it." He hadn't forgotten how bad that dish Everleigh made really was.
Everything he made for the first time tasted better than hers.
Everleigh was also considered to be a strong woman, but cooking was her weakness.
She was thrown out. Theodore stood outside with his arms folded, watching her. "You'd better not go in there, I'm afraid Dad will have to fix the kitchen."
She stretched out her fist and playfully hit him.
Even he was mocking her.
He smiled and didn't say anything. He took her hand and sat down on the couch.
Christopher's mobile phone rang. He glanced at it and silently put it down as if nothing had happened.
The group sat down to eat together and the men all drank some wine. Anyway, they would all be spending the night there, so it didn't matter if they drank a little more.
