Chapter 26


    After speaking to stair, Adrienne was certain that she did not get the wrong guy. She was thrilled


    and tugged Theodore''s sleeves before asking, "Daddy, why didn''t you give the medicine to Mommy


    that day? stair and I spent a long time looking for the drug store."


    Theodore''s eyes narrowed.


    Everleigh scolded hurriedly, "Adrienne Trevino, stop it. Be quiet."


    Adrienne''s expression quivered. Ever since she was a baby, she had been a troublemaker.


    Although her brother would shoulder most of the me for her, they would both be punished


    together. Sometimes, she was afraid of Everleigh, especially when Everleigh called her full name.


    Immediately, the car became so quiet that everyone could hear a pin drop.


    "You''re so bad at naming them?"


    Theodore''s voice echoed in the car and broke the silence.


    Everleigh was taken aback. She raised her head and met a pair of dark eyes. His eyes were no


    longer cold; he was staring at her tentatively.


    "stair? Adrienne?" Theodore seemed to be deep in his thoughts. "Why did you name them that?"


    Everleigh pursed her lips. "No particr reason."


    "No," Adrienne suddenly interrupted, "Mommy, you told us that our names meant something."


    Everleigh''s face stiffened. "Adrienne."


    Theodore frowned when he noticed Everleigh''s nervous looks. He turned to Adrienne and asked


    solemnly, "Adrienne, what do they mean?"


    "Mommy said that she named him for good luck!"


    Good luck...


    stair''s calm face froze.


    Everleigh lowered her head out of embarrassment.


    It was very embarrassing. When she gave birth to the twins, she had a bit ofplication. When


    she was inbor, she kept saying her prayers. Therefore, she decided to name the twins after a


    story, in hopes that they would share the same luck.


    They were just names. Everleigh just stuck to them and she did not ponder about it. However,


    Christopher always ridiculed her for it.


    Suddenly, someone chuckled in the car.


    Everleigh looked up and realized that Theodore was smiling. It was rare for him to smile. His


    defined facial features were tinted with ayer of golden sunlight from the window. He looked gentle


    and amiable.


    Everleigh thought that she traveled back in time to seven years ago.


    "Daddy, you are so handsome when you smile." Adrienne winked at Theodore innocently. "You


    should smile more often."


    Theodore''s smile froze. He averted his gaze from Everleigh. The smile was immediately reced


    with his usual cold self.


    Adrienne wanted to speak but Everleigh gave her a warning look.


    Adrienne pouted quietly but she grabbed Theodore''s sleeves quietly.


    Suddenly, somebody''s stomach growled.


    Adrienne instantly turned to Everleigh. The little girl pointed to her own stomach and exined


    seriously, "Mommy, I didn''t say anything. It''s this!"


    Everleigh was at a loss for words. She nced at Theodore cautiously and muttered, "I''m not


    ming you for that."


    "But I''m hungry."


    "We''ll be home soon."

    It was chaotic at the birthday party. The twins had yet to have lunch, so they were hungry.


    Adrienne rubbed her stomach miserably but she continued to grab Theodore''s sleeve with her other


    hand.


    Theodore''s gaze was fixated on the small hand. After a few seconds, he raised his head and


    instructed the driver, "Find a restaurant."


    Everleigh stared at Theodore in astonishment. "There''s no need for that."


    Theodore nced at her. His eyes were cold and calm as he parted his thin lips. "I didn''t do it for


    you."
