Hearing this, Everleigh had enough of it. In irritation, she said, "Theodore, you're making me very passive. If you have anything to say, just say it all out. Don't keep me guessing. It's very frustrating."
Each and every one of them was playing with her. Anymore guessing and she would lose it. What the heck!
Did she look like an idiot who didn't know anything?
"It won't be long before I tell you everything, but not now," Theodore said calmly.
She snorted coldly, "Say that again and you can forget about looking for me. I don't want to hear another word." After that, she got up and left.
As expected, none of the Godfrey family members were good people. Not even Theodore. It didn't matter even if there was danger. Couldn't he make it clear to her?
Did he think that she would be helping Yvonne?
When Theodore saw her leaving angrily, he immediately chased after her. "Everleigh, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean? Let me tell you Theodore, I'm very annoyed right now, very annoyed. Leave me be," she shouted at the door of the restaurant without any care for her image and left.
He stood where he was and watched her leave.
Back home, she received a message from Theodore asking if she had arrived home.
Out of anger, she did not respond to his message. This man had always been like this. Couldn't he at least try to comfort her?
He knew precisely that it was not easy for them to see each other again. Indeed, men were all as changeable as the moon.
Alastair and Adrienne felt that their mother was in a bad mood, so they both went back to their rooms obediently to do their homework.
Theodore decided to call her when he didn't receive her reply. However, before he could even make the call, he saw Leon's haggard, stubbled face. He didn't look as handsome as he had been in the past.
"What the heck Leon?"
"Theodore, please help me." Leon's voice was as hoarse as that of a person who had not spoken for several lifetimes. It would've made anyone very uncomfortable.
Theodore frowned. "What trouble did you run into?"
"Can you ask Everleigh out? I want to talk to her," Leon pleaded.
Theodore raised his eyebrows. This was exactly what he had been hoping for.
He was anxiously looking for a reason to call her.
Without saying another word, he dialed the number he was about to call.
After a few rings, her voice sounded, "Theodore, what else do you have to say?"
"Everleigh, Leon's looking for you. Let's meet."
When Everleigh heard his name, she was dumbstruck. Last time, she had a chat with Selena about it, but Sanchez delayed her.
"Okay." She told him the address, hung up the phone, and walked out. She hadn't been able to talk to Selena for the past few days but she could tell that she was unhappy.
She might as well take this opportunity to talk to Leon and find out what this man wanted to do.
When she arrived at the coffee shop, she saw Leon and Theodore.
Especially Leon, his sloppy appearance was totally different from the man she knew.
She looked at him with a puzzled look. "What happened to you?" "Where is Selena?" Leon asked as soon as he saw her.
She didn't rush to answer. Instead, she looked at Theodore and asked coldly, "What's wrong with him?"
"I don't know. I saw him like this when I got back. He begged me to look for you," he replied. More importantly, he was confused as to why Leon wanted to find Selena.
