Adrienne nodded repeatedly. "Yes, pale."
"I'm pale because of work. Eat up. You have to go to school in a while."
"Mommy, are you out of your mind? It's a holiday today," Adrienne reminded her kindly.
Everleigh was a little surprised. She glanced at the phone and found that it was really their holiday.
"Okay, then wait for Theodore to pick you up."
"We won't be going today. We have to go to the Meyer family in a while. Christopher called me this morning," Adrienne said with a conflicted look.
"Why haven't I heard about it from Christopher?"
"He decided it in the spur of the moment. You'll have to come at night too. It seems that someone has come back," Alastair explained clearly.
Everleigh thought for a while and realized that it could only be Christopher's eldest sister, Ysabelle.
"It couldn't be, could it? If she was to come back, she would have informed them earlier. Why didn't she reply to the message until now?"
"Mommy, stop thinking about it. Christopher said that he has already asked for leave for you. He'll come and pick us up later. Do you want to change into a new set of clothes?" Adrienne knew what was going on when she did not speak.
Therefore, she gave her some advice.
Everleigh looked at her casual clothes. It was indeed inappropriate. She went back and changed. She also put on the jewelry Felicia gave her.
She had to appreciate her kindness.
When Christopher arrived, he saw Everleigh standing at the door with Alastair and Adrienne. She was wearing a long black dress, which looked like an elegant evening gown. It was perfect for such an occasion.
"I was planning to take you shopping, but it seems that you've already changed into an appropriate outfit."
"I don't want you to waste your money," Everleigh said as she sat in the car.
Cristopher pursed his lips. There was no way he could spend on her even if he wanted to. He was just as poor.
The four of them got into the car and drove to the Meyer family mansion. Adrienne asked as soon as she got in the car, "Christopher, is Aunt Ysabelle easy to get along with?" "Not at all. You have to be careful."
"Really?" She asked with concern in her eyes.
Christopher laughed and said, "Of course not. She'll fall in love with you the moment she sees you. She also brought gifts."
When Adrienne heard that there were gifts, her little eyes lit up. "Yay, I like gifts."
Everleigh felt a little helpless about her daughter's behavior. She was worried that Adrienne would become a materialistic woman.
"Christopher, don't buy anything else for her."
"She's just a child. It's fine. I believe your teachings won't make her a materialistic woman." He knew exactly what she was thinking.
Everleigh blushed as if her worries had been seen through.
He smiled and they didn't think too much about it.
In the Meyer family mansion, Mrs. Meyer had been standing at the door, waiting for Christopher's arrival. Although it was autumn, her face was covered in sweat.
"Mom, what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see Alastair and Adrienne," Mrs. Meyer replied, then squatted down and opened her arms. "Alastair and Adrienne, did you miss me?" "Yes." Adrienne immediately went to hug her and kissed her on the cheek.
The smile on Mrs. Meyer's face grew even wider as she kissed Adrienne.
"Hello, Grandma," Alastair greeted respectfully.
