Chapter 70
By nine o''clock in the morning, seats in the lecture room of No.l Executive Building were fully
upied. When Everleigh and Stainley reached the building at Ocpeace Medical University, a
group of young students was standing in an orderly fashion near the entrance. Judging from their
sizes and heights, they had to be sports students.
As soon as Stainley arrived at the door, he was called by a student, "Mr. Stainley, the head of the
department is looking for you."
"Now?" Stainly asked with Adrienne still in his arms.
Everleigh immediately took Adrienne out of Stainley''s arms and said, "Stainley, why don''t you go
and settle your matters. It''s going to be a busy day."
"Okay." Stainley checked his watch, "I''ll be back real quick."
Everleigh nodded and said, "Okay."
Everleigh and Stainley''s lecture was tomence at 9.30. She could afford the 30-minute wait.
Stainley made sure to leave a junior to lead Everleigh backstage before he went to see the head of
the department.
Everleigh walked all the way with one child in each of her arms, attracting numerous eyes.

"Everleigh, are they your children? My, my! They''re adorable!"
Before Everleigh could speak, Adrienne, who was next to her, tilted her head and asked, "Adorable?
Who''s adorable? Me? Or my brother?"
The junior looked young and looked like a freshman. He was taken aback when he was shot by
Adrienne''s questions as he did not want to offend either child. He blinked his eyes and said, "Both
of you, of course."
"But I don''t think boys like to be called adorable, right?"
"Ah?" The junior was stunned at once and looked awkwardly at stair next to him.
"Don''t mind her." Everleigh tried to smooth things over and rolled her eyes at her daughter. "She''s
talking nonsense. One more thing, this is my junior. Adrienne, you have to address him properly."
Adrienne did not take it seriously. She said confidently, "What a handsome junior!"
After that, she even winked at him.
Everleigh nced at the boy beside her, and noticed that his face was flushed red. He was
obviously taken aback yet again.
Everleigh wanted to find a ce to hide from the ugly reality. What had she given birth to? How
could Adrienne be so good at flirting at her young age?
As soon as they arrived backstage, Everleigh''s eyes caught sight of a familiar figure. When she
finally realized who it was, she couldn''t walk away anymore.
"Everleigh?" Ady with a thesis in her left arm was preparing to go onstage. Her eyes lit up when
she saw Everleigh. She hastened her steps towards thetter, followed by another man behind her.
As the figures came into Everleigh''s sight, she forcibly pulled up the corners of her lips and
muttered, "Erica. William."
When Everleigh was studying at Ocpeace Medical University, Erica Iverson was her senior by one
year. She was from the foreignnguage department, majoring in the Portuguesenguage.
During Everleigh''s first year at Ocpeace Medical University, she was dragged into joining the Public
Rtions Club by her roommate right after she had done her orientation. Erica was the vice
president of the club.
The reason why Everleigh''s roommate insisted on joining the club was quite simple. William was the
club president and he was the hottest student at the institution at the time. Many juniors fell for him
after his outstanding performance of singing the university anthem during the start-of-term
ceremony. During the orientation day, the booth representing the Public Rtions Club was so
overwhelmed with new members that it almost fell apart.
Everleigh and her roommates failed to even get the application forms at first. Just as they were
about to give up, they ran into William. The attractive senior just so happened to be scanning
around the area and saw the pair before deciding to give them the forms. They received text
messages that very night, informing them that their applications had been epted.
This was also the time when hostility grew between Everleigh and Erica.
"Long time no see, Everleigh. Charming, aren''t you? Just like how you used to be." Erica''s voice
pulled Everleigh back to reality. She still talked like how she used to when she had been the club''s
vice president, which was in a very fake manner.
Everleigh pulled up the corners of her lips and said, "Erica, you look better than you used to."
"Oh, no I''m not. I''m a married woman now. Beauty doesn''t mean anything to me, unlike you. Even
aftering back from studying abroad, you look exactly the way you did during your university
days. Did anyone around the campus mistake you for a freshman?"
Everleigh was left speechless by Erica''sment. There were limits in pleasantries, but
unfortunately, Erica knew nothing of them.
As Everleigh was unable to answer Erica, she decided to change the topic of conversation, "Oh!
When did you get married? I was totally clueless! By the way, congrattions!"
"Last year." Erica raised her hand and moved her hair, revealing a diamond ring on her finger. The
corners of her eyes caught sight of the children behind Everleigh and she said, "Are they your
children? Wow, they''ve grown so much! When did you get married? Is Stainley the lucky guy? You
two were the perfect match back then."
Everleigh frowned and said, "No, it''s not Stainley. Please don''t mention that kind of nonsense
again."
"What nonsense? You were the campus belle and Stainley was the hottest guy back then.
Countless hearts were broken when you two decided to study abroad! Am I right, Honey?"
The man standing behind Erica was quiet. His eyes had been fixed on Everleigh ever since he
noticed her. As evident from his eyes, he was reminiscing about the good old days. He did not
respond even when he was called.
"Honey." Erica frowned.
William came back to his senses. "Yes? You were saying?"
Erica looked displeased, and her tone was a bit odd. "Students from the medical department were
heartbroken when they knew Everleigh and Stainley were going to study abroad. Am I right?"
The three individuals were well aware of Erica''s underlying meaning.
It was no secret that William had liked Everleigh. He had taken care of her each time the
department held an event, but she would always be absent. When the new semester came, he tried
to nominate her as the president, angering Erica, the vice president.
It had been so many years and it felt awkward talking about it now.
Everleigh and William''s expressions were a mixture of awkwardness and unease. It was obvious
that they did not know what to say at the moment.
"Everleigh." Stainley''s voiceing from behind Everleigh and broke the ufortable silence.
As Stainley rushed to Everleigh''s side, he nodded politely towards Erica and William. "Everleigh, it''s
time. It''s our turn. Let''s go onstage."
Everleigh smiled apologetically at Erica, but deep down she was thankful for Stainley. "Erica,
William, please excuse me. I''ll have to head to the stage with Stainley. Let''s talk about the old days
againter."
Erica looked reluctant, while beside her, William was embarrassed. His apologetic eyes trailed after
Everleigh.
Everleigh left her children in the care of a kind junior before leaving backstage and joining Stainley
for their lecture.
As soon as Everleigh was out of their sight, Erica turned to William and said in a strange tone,
"What a reunion of old lovers! Why didn''t you say anything? Are you ming me for being an
eyesore? It''s a pity that she already has children now. I''d rmend you stop thinking about her
now."
William red at her unhappily. "Are you done?"
Erica wanted to argue more. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of two children and
her imagination run wild.
When did Everleigh get married? How did she have those children?
