Alastair wouldn't believe what he said. Theodore was clearly looking down on him, thinking that he was a child and wasn't someone to talk with about that topic.
Adrienne's face was covered with ice cream. She opened her eyes wide and said, "Alastair is right. That person looked so fierce. She also shouted at me just because I said something."
When she recalled it, she had a look of horror on her face.
Theodore's heart ached as he looked at her.
"What did she say?" He asked.
"She told me to not interrupt. She was also fierce towards Mommy. Mommy cried because of her arrival." When Adrienne explained the situation, she also felt very scared in her heart.
Theodore's face turned ashen as he clasped his hands tightly under the table.
"My mommy has been bullied by the Godfrey family ever since she came back. I really hope that you can leave her. You are not suitable for her."
Alastair's dark eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and his cold face didn't look like he was joking at all.
Theodore lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. He didn't say a word.
"I originally didn't want to come with you today, but I thought that I had to make some things clear. Mommy couldn't get out of the haze and it's all your fault. Your mother even said some hurtful words regardless of people's feelings. Everyone said that the Godfrey family is a prominent family, but in my eyes, the Godfrey family is not even as good as some country bumpkins." Alastair's tender voice sounded in the dark night.
A child's innocence couldn't be seen in him at all.
Theodore frowned and looked at his son. He actually felt that he was a little unfamiliar, "Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Was what I said wrong?"
Looking at the bad expression on Alastair's face, Adrienne put down the spoon immediately and stopped eating.
Although she couldn't understand what he was saying, she still heard something along the lines of Everleigh getting treated badly.
Anyone who treated her mother badly wasn't a good person in Adrienne's eyes.
"Alastair, I miss Mommy. Let's go back."
"Okay." Alastair had also said what he wanted to say. Then, he took out his phone and called Christopher. He didn't need Theodore to send him off.
Theodore knew what his intention was when he saw his actions.
"I'll send you back."
"No need." As soon as Alastair finished speaking, he heard Christopher's voice coming from the other side of the phone.
"Alastair."
"Come pick us up. I'll send you the address," Alastair said as he stared coldly at Theodore.
His face was full of disgust for him.
Theodore had experienced what it felt like to be isolated by his own family now.
When Christopher was on the way to pick them up, Alastair and Adrienne went downstairs to wait for him. Theodore didn't leave. He stood by their side and accompanied them. He couldn't just let them wait there alone.
When Christopher arrived, Alastair took Adrienne's hand and walked out.
"Christopher, let's go." The two children got into the car. They didn't even look back at Theodore.
Christopher knew that Alastair must be very unhappy when he saw his expression.
However... What did that have to do with him? Theodore was someone who really deserved to be punished.
The three of them returned to the hospital. When they were on their way, Alastair instructed Adrienne to not tell Everleigh about them meeting Theodore.
"Your mommy already knows about it," Christopher interrupted him.
Alastair glared at him, "You didn't help to cover us up?"
"I did, but I'm not good at lying. She saw through me in an instant." Christopher smiled and looked silly.
Alastair rolled his eyes at him. He no longer had any expectations towards him, but he felt more comfortable as he was able to say what he wanted to say.
Theodore said that he would help Everleigh solve her problems, but in the end, she still faced a lot of troubles.
When the three of them returned to the hospital, Everleigh's complexion was much better.
