Christopher realized something as soon as he saw Everleigh's expression. He glanced at her hand, which was holding his tightly, and followed her gaze. "What's wrong?"
"It's him, it's him." Everleigh's face was drained of blood, and it resembled the stark white wall behind them.
Looking at Everleigh's unusual appearance, Theodore frowned and stepped forward. "Who is it?"
At this point, Christopher had already seen the man in the crowd.
His hair was slick and smooth, revealing a fierce expression, and there was an obvious mole under his right eye. Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he hid among the crowd, but still put the leather bag under his arm. No matter how expensive the clothes he wore were, he could not cover the air of poverty around him.
"Is it him?" Christopher asked immediately.
Everleigh clutched his arm so tightly that he almost couldn't move. As if she was in a daze, she couldn't even nod her head and only muttered to herself, "It's him, it's him..."
While they were talking, the man with slick hair had already followed the crowd to the depths of the rear stage, and gradually, his figure was drowned out.
Everleigh suddenly came to her senses and held Christopher tightly. "We can't let him escape."
"Wait for me here. I'll go after him."
After saying that, his expression darkened as he squeezed his way into the crowd.
There was another exit backstage, and Christopher chased the figure in the distance for a long time. Finally, he noticed that the man had left with a child through the exit and when he made it outside, a taxi peeled away from the curb.
"Christopher;' Everleigh followed him from behind, and her face was ashen. "Did you catch up with him?"
"No/ he held his waist and gasped tiredly. "He got in a taxi and left."
"It's him. Those people are still here." Everleigh's footsteps were obviously a little unsteady. Theodore, who was following behind her, tried to help her up, but she shook him off. "Don't touch me!"
"Everleigh, calm down." Christopher gripped her shoulder and held her in his arms. He carefully patted her back to comfort her, but Everleigh's shoulder trembled as if she was extremely scared.
Even though her back was facing Theodore, he could still feel her fear.
In an instant, his heart dropped to the pit of his stomach.
"What's going on? Who is that?" Theodore asked.
Then, Christopher put on a harsh expression and replied callously, "It's none of your business. Stop asking."
"What do you mean it's none of my business?"
Theodore's face darkened. He looked at Christopher, who was holding Everleigh in his arms, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Despite what happened, can you let her go now?"
Even if he knew that Christopher and Everleigh were legally married, he still could not accept that they were so intimate in front of him.
Hearing this, Christopher, who was focused on Everleigh, suddenly became serious. He held her shoulders to help her stand. "Everleigh, wait for a minute."
After saying this, he let go of her and walked straight towards Theodore. "I thought you were stupid before, but now, I feel that you're just a piece of sh*t, even worse than me."
Theodore's brows furrowed into a deep frown. Before he could react, he was met with a head-on blow. He staggered and fell to the side, letting out a groan of pain.
Next, Christopher went up to him and grabbed Theodore's collar. He hit him violently and said angrily, "F*ck you!"
Theodore came back to his senses after taking two punches. He flipped over and pushed Christopher to the ground. After that, they got into a fight amidst the huge crowd at the rear entrance of the school.
