Everleigh was speechless upon hearing Cecil's words. She couldn't understand why she couldn't let go of the hatred towards Leon.
He had already moved on, so there was no reason for her to hold on to it.
It was impossible to say that she couldn't forget him, but the relationship between them had definitely soured.
Leon knew Cecil's character, so he rolled his eyes. "Miss Cecil, are you here as a guest or are you here to mock me?"
"Of course I'm here as a guest to mock you. Can't I?" She tilted her head and asked annoyingly.
Alastair sat on the sofa with a touch of helplessness in his eyes. He looked up and said coldly, "Aunt Cecil, it's not right to speak like this. Although Uncle Leon's reputation had a bad reputation, he has turned over a new leaf. Don't you think so?"
Both Cecil and Leon were stunned, and she laughed out loud. "Yes, so he has,"
Leon's face darkened. Alastair really had the guts to voice out his opinions.
He couldn't understand what Alastair meant by having a bad reputation. He was a responsible person.
In other words, he wouldn't have stayed for Selena if he was not responsible.
Selena came down from the stairs with Adrienne. As soon as they got downstairs, they heard Cecil's laughter.
"Aunt Cecil, Mommy." Adrienne ran over with a wide smile on her face.
"Adrienne, come here. Did you miss me?" Cecil asked with a smile, holding the girl in her arms.
Adrienne kissed her cheek and said, "Yes, I have. I miss you the most, Aunt Cecil. Why didn't you come see me?"
"I was busy, but Adrienne, you look a lot taller." What Cecil said was true. Children did grow up fast.
Selena looked at her without saying anything.
"Selena, let's go. Follow me to the study room to look for Dad."
"Alright."
Leon and Selena knew that Cecil didn't come just to make fun of him. She was there to discuss something with Everleigh.
It was inconvenient for them to be there.
"He is very observant. I didn't notice this side of Leon before." Looking in the direction in which they left, Cecil said, surprised.
Everleigh shook her head helplessly. Looking at Alastair and Adrienne, she said, "You two, go back to your rooms to play."
"Okay, Mommy. You and Aunt Cecil can take your time chatting. I'll go and see if there are any snacks to eat in the kitchen," Adrienne went to the kitchen as she spoke. Alastair was speechless and went to the kitchen with her.
"Cecil, do you have something to tell me?"
"Did you send someone to find Diana?"
"Yes, I want to help you." She felt uneasy with her words.
She thought that she had done something wrong.
Cecil knew that her tone was harsh, so she quickly added, "I understand. The person has called me."
"Who is it?" Just then, Everleigh remembered the phone number Elvir gave her. She had briefly mentioned the case, but she didn't talk about the details. Why did he call Cecil?
Cecil chuckled and said, "You're really forgetful,"
"I just remembered. Yudell is skillful in investigations,"
