Everleigh and Theodore's eyes were full of surprise. Alastair had always been following Adrienne's opinion. Why would he suddenly...
Adrienne was also a little shocked when she heard his words, but she was not without conscience. She wouldn't refuse his request.
"Then, let's go to the library. I also want to read comic books." After saying that, Adrienne picked up the spoon and continued eating her ice cream.
After their meal, the four of them visited the library. This library was built by the funds raised by the rich within the country. It had seven floors, and the only difference was that the higher the level was, the more precious the documents were.
Of course, with Theodore's status, they could easily access the top level.
The four of them smoothly walked to the elevator that could only be opened with a gold card. Alastair's dark eyes were full of surprise when he saw this scene.
"Wow, Daddy, you are so handsome," Adrienne exclaimed in awe.
Theodore smiled and gave the gold card to Alastair. "In the future, if you want to learn anything, just come here directly."
Alastair didn't refuse. No present was as practical as this one.
Everleigh knew that her son had a strong desire for knowledge, so she didn't refuse.
The four of them got in the elevator and arrived on the seventh floor. The moment the elevator opened, they saw a wall. On the left was the girls' section, and on the right was the boys' section. The middle zone was the rest area. "Mommy, I'm going over there." Alastair reached out and pointed to the area on the right. Adrienne decisively went to the left.
"Mommy, I'll go look for you guys after I find that book," Alastair informed her casually, fearing that they would be worried.
Adrienne had long disappeared without a trace.
Everleigh and Theodore came to the rest area. Although it was a Sunday, it was empty. After all, not many wealthy people would come here on a Sunday.
Alastair's small figure stood at the door, staring at the mountain- like bookshelves in front of him. There were rows of bookshelves in front of him, and he didn't know where to start.
There was no other way but to ask the staff members for help.
In the rest area, Everleigh and Theodore asked for two cups of lemonade. His tastes had also changed after he got together with her.
"Where were you before? You've been busy for so long." She started the conversation.
He slowly put down the cup in his hand, and his eyes darkened. "I was in the neighboring city. Everleigh, I've come to ask you something. Have you met Xavier?"
She was dumbstruck for a while, and then nodded. "Yes, I have met him."
"What did you two talk about?"
"Nothing, we were just greeting each other." She pretended to be relaxed, and the smile on her face made it impossible to tell that she was lying.
Theodore remained silent for a moment. "You and Xavier had met each other eight years ago. Do you think I'll believe you when you say that you're only greeting each other?"
"No, you won't believe it," she blurted out.
He looked at her helpless expression. For a moment, he couldn't understand her.
She had never thought that they would also play tricks or hide things from each other.
"What did you two talk about?" He repeated.
"Are you investigating this matter?" She asked. If he knew the truth, there was no need for her to hide it. Otherwise, she would consider whether she should tell the truth or not.
After all, that person was his own father, and it was not proper for her to say anything else.
"How much do you know?" He also questioned her. The conversation between the two of them was like the conversation between two people who were asking questions, with neither answering the other.
However, both of them were clear in their hearts. They knew everything that the other knew.
