Everleigh and looked at the two people behind Cecil. She had met Zeldan before and seen Lenold eight years ago. At that time, Lenold was still a new recruit in the army. In just a few years, his burly figure had become more muscular and his tanned face made him look like a mature man. His eyes were bright and it was impossible to ignore his majestic appearance.
"Hello."
"It's been a long time, Miss Trevino." Zeldan's pearly white teeth showed as he was glad to see her.
However, she and Lenold had only met a handful of times, so their relationship was neutral.
"Long time no see."
"What brought you guys together?" Everleigh didn't think they would show up, otherwise, she wouldn't have come all the way here.
Cecil wanted to cry, but she had no tears. "It's a long story. Let's go first." She then turned to Lenold and said, "I'll stay at her house for a few days. You guys carry on with your businesses."
How could Lenold not know what she was thinking? He said coldly, "Don't forget about tomorrow's family dinner." "I know." She looked uncomfortable. She didn't want to go, but it was inappropriate for her to turn him down .
She left with Everleigh. As they got in the car, she took a deep breath. "That was suffocating."
Everleigh laughed, "That's your brother."
"Is it the same for you and your brother?" Cecil asked.
Everleigh smiled and said nothing, thinking that they might not be on the same page.
Cecil arrived at the Trevino family home and it was her first time there. She brought several gifts for Alastair and Adrienne. She had them custom-made. Alastair's was a diamond watch while Adrienne received a diamond bracelet, which they liked very much.
"You're wasting money. They're still young."
"It's fine as long as they like it."
"I like it very much. Thank you, Aunt Cecil." Adrienne stood on the sofa and kissed Cecil on the cheek.
On the other hand, Alastair thanked her sincerely. He would not kiss others like Adrienne.
Cecil was very happy. She felt that the two children had grown taller.
They had dinner together apart from Selena, who was still on set. "What made you return this time?" Everleigh asked as she and Cecil rested on her bed.
"The family dinner tomorrow is for Diana. As her older sister, of course I need to be there."
"She's back?"
Cecil nodded and her eyes looked a little dim under the light.
Everleigh was a little worried. Diana was two-faced, and although Cecil knew it, she could only do so much since they lived under the same roof. She was really worried that Cecil would get the short end of the stick.
"Then you have to be careful."
"Don't worry, she's only the adopted daughter. Besides, it's only a family dinner, so nothing much would happen." Her expression changed as she spoke. She was very confident in her place in her family and would never stand to be bullied.
While Cecil went back home, Everleigh went back to work. The idea of going back to her post made her feel at ease.
It felt just like when she came back from abroad.
Dr. Harrison noticed that she was in high spirits, so he walked over and said, "It looks like you're doing well." "Of course, knowing that I'm fine and well has me in full energy," Everleigh said joyously.
During the several months when she took time off, she really thought that she might be ill, but she had obviously overthought.
