They ate a lot of food, and beef stew was their favorite. Of course, there were no such authentic meals when they were abroad.
When Everleigh came out, she was sweating all over her body. "I'm so full. If Adrienne was here, she would definitely eat all of it."
Christopher chuckled. "I will get her something to eat later, and you must take them back. I will not be seeing them for a while. Don't let them forget me, their 'cheap daddy'."
She laughed out loud and did not refuse. In fact, Alastair and Adrienne would not forget him.
He was a man of his words. He ended up buying a lot of good things and asked Everleigh to take them back.
The children were overjoyed.
"Didn't you buy a lot of snacks yesterday? Why did you get more?" Selena noticed that there were so many snacks when she came downstairs.
Everleigh shrugged helplessly. "I didn't buy them. Christopher did. He's going to the countryside and has no time to come back and visit them."
When Selena heard this, she did not say anything.
She also picked up a bag of chips and ate them with Adrienne. She wouldn't eat junk food in the past, mainly because she thought they were unhealthy and she might gain weight.
However, every time Selena saw Adrienne eating greedily, she also agreed that she should've enjoyed everything in her prime. Yet, for her career, she had to maintain her appearance and refrained from eating them.
Everleigh was also stunned. "Didn't you say that these things would ruin your figure? Why are you..."
"I think it tastes good. It doesn't matter if I eat less." Selena then ate a mouthful. It was unlikely that she would 'eat less'.
Everleigh felt extremely helpless. She took her bag and went back to her room for a rest. That day, she was really too irritated and knew that her previous conjecture was correct.
She also found out who had framed her.
However... She was confused.
What could she do even if she knew?
Wilson was an extremely shrewd person. Even if he was to tell her the truth, he would still know that she didn't dare to act rashly.
She laid on the bed as she had a splitting headache. She didn't dare to think about what to do next. The more she thought about it, the more stressed out she would get.
"Let's just not think about it for now. I'll just take it one step at a time," she told herself.
Everleigh went to the bathroom to wash up and intended to have a good sleep.
She didn't know how she survived the past few days.
As she didn't feel sleepy when she was lying on the bed, she immediately took out her medical book and flipped through it. In the end, she received a call from Theodore.
"Where are you?" He immediately asked.
"I'm on my bed at home. I'm so tired now." What Everleigh said was true. She knew that Theodore called to ask her out.
However, she still wanted to have a good rest in bed.
He could tell how tired she was from her tone, and he didn't mind at all. The corner of his lips lifted slightly. "I'm home now, and I called to tell you that I'll come to look for you tomorrow."
"You're looking for me for something, aren't you?".
"It's nothing special. I haven't seen you recently, so I wanted to see you." His voice was cold, but Everleigh could hear a slight longing in his tone.
She felt a sudden sweetness in her heart.
"I'll take Alastair and Adrienne with me as I'll also be off work tomorrow," she answered.
"Okay. You should also go to bed early. See you tomorrow." He sat in front of the computer and looked at the documents that Moses had sent him.
Hence, he didn't say much.
