Everleigh heard his threat, but she didn't care, "When I came back from abroad, I knew the people who didn't like me would not let me go so easily, but I didn't think that person would be you."
Wilson sneered. His expression was cold, and his gaze was gloomy like a Grim Reaper.
He did not feel that he had done anything wrong.
On the contrary, it was what he should do.
Wilson walked past her and went towards the door. When he opened the door, he paused and asked, "Everleigh, do you know who will keep secrets?"
Her body was trembling with fear. As she turned around in horror, Wilson had already disappeared from the door.
Her eyes were filled with concern and fear. She was not fearful of what would happen to her, but rather, to Alastair and Adrienne.
What should she do if he wanted to harm them?
Christopher came in and saw her standing in the same place. She looked absent-minded.
"Everleigh, what are you looking at?" He asked.
"Huh? I'm fine."
"You don't look like you're okay. What did he say? Did he threaten you?" He asked in a hurry. He looked worried.
She hesitated for a moment and told him everything.
He was so furious that he wanted to hit Wilson, "I told you this old man is not a good person. He still dared to threaten you after doing such things."
"You're leaving tomorrow, so don't worry about it. Didn't you mention that you've already told Felicia?" Everleigh pointed out.
"No, I'll tell Felicia that I won't go, and ask them to send someone else." He waved his hand and replied righteously.
Everleigh couldn't get used to his demeanor. She laughed and answered, "Stop looking for excuses. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, Theodore is here. He knows his father well."
Christopher gave her a sidelong glance. Then, he pursed his lips without saying anything.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked in confusion.
He lowered his gaze and said with a wry smile, "You still like him, don't you?"
She was silent for a moment before she nodded earnestly. She could lie to others, but she couldn't do it to Christopher.
He had helped her sincerely, so she couldn't lie to him at all.
"Forget it, I should have known your feelings toward him long ago. You had already forgiven him when you were at the airport, didn't you?" He remarked.
Christopher's eyes were bright as he stared at her motionlessly, unwilling to miss any expressions.
Everleigh curled her lips and felt sad, "Back then, I thought I was going to die. I thought if I really had AIDS, I would ask Theodore to raise my children. My father is old and he can only do so much. When I was facing death, I realized that I could really forget all the hatred, and remember the wonderful moments."
Upon hearing her words, his expression became indifferent. His gaze was filled with sorrow as if he had experienced the many vicissitudes of life.
He also had a deep understanding of this feeling.
"Later, I was fine and knew that God was willing to give me a chance. This time, I won't miss it no matter what. Christopher, perhaps you will think that I have forgotten loyalty when I'm in love, or that I have forgotten what is right. However, I really don't want to miss all of this again," she told him affectionately.
The brightness in her gaze could not be ignored. It was the love she had for her lover.
