"Everleigh, sit down," Christopher's voice came from the side.
Before she could come back to her senses, he pressed her shoulders and made her sit down.
"Christopher..."
"Have a seat. Madam Scott has specially reserved a seat for you," he said with a broad smile before he turned around and sat down on the other side of Theodore. "I'll take a seat here."
Thus, Theodore was directly sandwiched between them.
"How can you..." A man's deep voice came from the right, across from Helen and Yvonne. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied, but Yvonne interrupted him with a fierce glare.
Wilson's eyebrows knitted together tightly. Looking at the nondescript sitting posture of the three people next to him, his expression turned dark.
"Don't speak." Yvonne lowered her voice. She pressed Wilson's hand and whispered, "Mom wanted it to be this way, so let her be happy."
Wilson's face was cold, but his relationship with Helen hadn't eased up, so he could not say anything more. After a while, he said in a low voice, "It's absurd."
Although his voice was not loud, it still reached Everleigh. She looked at Helen with embarrassment, but she only saw her kind eyes, as if she didn't hear her son's complaints at all.
"Everleigh, this seat is good. It's in the middle of the auditorium and I specially reserved it for you. You can see the children's performance clearly."
However, Everleigh was speechless, and she could only force a smile.
What she needed now was not to see the play clearly, but the embarrassment made her want to find a hole to hide in. Honestly, it felt like she was walking on broken glass at this point.
As for Christopher, he looked like a random bystander who was watching the show as Theodore was between him and Everleigh. Somehow, he had a handful of peanuts. His hand went past Theodore and reached out in front of Everleigh. "Want some to eat?" "Eat your a*s! Can't you see what situation we're in?"
Everleigh scolded him ten thousand times in her heart, and her eyes were almost burning with anger. She said succinctly, "No, I don't!"
"I brought them back from the Gansen Village specially. They are freshly roasted peanuts. You'll regret it if you don't try them."
"Shut up!" Everleigh ground her teeth as she stared at him.
Alas, Christopher didn't show any self-awareness at all. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Theodore beside him. "Mr. Godfrey, would you like some?"
Theodore glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "Thank you, there's no need for that."
Nevertheless, Christopher did not show the slightest hint of embarrassment on his face despite being rejected. Instead, he just quipped, "You two really don't have any taste." Then, he turned around and went to share the peanuts with the lady next to him. He actually relied on them to chat with the surrounding people.
"How old is your child?"
"Seven years old; they're twins. They will be performing later, so please support them."
"No problem. There will be poems to be read by our children later. Everyone please support them too."
"That's for sure."
The crunching sound of people eating peanuts could be heard. All the parents were dressed formally, but Christopher's peanuts seemed to turn the place into a market.
The corner of Everleigh's mouth twitched. She didn't even want to see it as it was so embarrassing.
In the future, if their kids had a parents' meeting or some other activities at school, she would definitely not attend if Christopher was there.
While she was busy being embarrassed, a cold and deep male voice came from the side, "Did the operation in the morning go well?"
