Night fell and Everleigh coaxed the twins to sleep. She closed the door gently and went back to her room to rest.
For the past few years, Christopher had been a huge help. Otherwise, it was impossible for Everleigh to handle her studies if she had to take care of the twins on her own.
Although Alastair was quite obedient, his sister would always persuade him into doing things. Therefore, the twins would always be partners in crime.
Ever since the twins could walk, Everleigh had nothing but troubles. However, the twins did bring her great memories throughout the years.
Concurrently, in the guest bedroom, Adrienne peeked at the door from under the quilt. Immediately, she turned to remove the quilt and jumped out of bed. She ran to her brother's bed across the room.
Alastair was already asleep when something snuck into his bed. He sighed, "Adrienne, you're already seven. You can't sleep with me anymore."
Yet, he moved a little further to make space for his sister.
Adrienne poked her head out and winked at her brother. "I overheard Mommy when she was calling Christopher today. She mentioned
Daddy."
"And?"
"Daddy's here. Mommy said she saw him at the hospital."
"Then?"
"Mommy never had a boyfriend. She must be waiting for Daddy. If Daddy knows about us, do you think they'll get back together?"
Alastair frowned. "Adrienne, we can't get involved. It's no use crying over spilled milk."
Adrienne did not pay any attention to her brother's remarks. She muttered, "I think Daddy must be very handsome. I want to know what kind of person he is. I'm going to find him."
Alastair scowled when he noticed the animated look on Adrienne's face.
