When Everleigh saw Christopher's expression as if he knew everything, she found it rather hilarious. "Since you know everything, I guess I don't have to say anything."
"You're so mean," he snorted. He felt that she was being too petty.
It wouldn't even hurt for her to talk about it.
The day had finally passed, and Everleigh had stayed in the hospital for the whole day. When it was almost time to get off work, she waited for Theodore to pick her up. However, before he arrived, Ysabelle showed up.
Ysabelle appeared at the door of her office, which gave her a shock. "Ysabelle, why are you here?"
"I'm here to see you, and ask if you are free tomorrow," Ysabelle said as she walked into the office. She found that all the doctors' offices looked the same.
There wasn't anything special about Everleigh's.
She was rather surprised."Ysabelle, is there something I can do for you?"
"The auction is tomorrow, and I just want to know if you are able to go with me."
Everleigh was relieved to know that it wasn't about something important. "Isn't Felicia free tomorrow?"
"She's really busy with her business. How will she have any time to accompany me? I'll show you what an auction looks like, and how it works," Ysabelle replied with a smile.
Everleigh chuckled lightly, "Okay then, I can take a leave tomorrow."
Hearing that, Ysabelle suddenly thought of something. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "I heard from Felicia that you're partnering up with Theodore in a business. Is it true?"
"Yeah."
"That's a good thing. It's way better than being a doctor forever. Christopher will have to inherit the family's business in the future too, but that brat wants to spend some more time having fun," Ysabelle sighed.
She thought that her sister-in-law was much more sensible than her younger brother. Regardless of who Everleigh was doing business with, she at least had the aspiration to do so.
Compared to her, Christopher was nothing but a spoiled, pleasure-seeking child.
His future was basically hopeless.
Everleigh kept silent. She knew that he had his own ambitions, and she actually supported him.
Christopher brought some food with him and walked into Everleigh's office, but was shocked to the core when he saw Ysabelle there.
"Ysabelle, when did you come over?"
"What's the problem? Do I have to seek your permission to come over?" She responded coldly.
He felt awkward. He was just surprised to see his sister at the hospital without any proper reasons.
"Alright, you guys can have dinner, I'll go back now. Everleigh, don't forget about the auction tomorrow. I'll pick you up at your place," Ysabelle reminded her.
"Alright. Thank you, Ysabelle," Everleigh said.
Logically speaking, she should've been staying with the Meyer family, but she was still living at the Trevino family's home. It was rather unreasonable for her to do so.
She even had to bother Ysabelle to pick her up the next day.
It made her feel even worse.
Ysabelle waved her hand to show that she didn't mind.
After she left, Christopher asked curiously, "Why did Ysabelle look for you?" "She wants me to go to the auction with her tomorrow. I know nothing about auctions, but I'm just going to join in on the fun," Everleigh said.
He pouted. He thought that Ysabelle was biased as she didn't invite him to go. It was an eyeopening experience.
He wanted to go with them too.
"I'll go with you tomorrow."
She knew what was in his mind by looking at his expression, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she couldn't make the decision.
When Theodore came over, she was already waiting for him at the entrance. He parked his car and got out. He walked over and said, "You should've just waited for me inside. It's already late autumn, and the weather is quite chilly."
