Chapter 138
Everleigh saw through Adrienne''s little gesture behind her back.
"Adrienne."
Adrienne hurriedly put down her hand because of Everleigh''s voice. She raised her head with an
innocent look. Her ability to change expressions was good enough to win an Oscar award.
"Mommy, what''s the matter?"
"What do you want to eat for dinner?"
Adrienne blinked and moved her eyes. "Mommy, why don''t we eat outside? I don''t want to wait until
we''re home. I''m hungry."
Everleigh heard this, raised her wrist, and looked at the time on her watch. It was exactly 6 pm.
"Let''s have dinner nearby then."
The swimming center was located in themercial center and there were many ces to eat
nearby. The two children were not picky eaters, therefore Everleigh took them to walk around the
shopping mall and finally stopped at a barbecue restaurant.
As soon as they sat down, Adrienne said that she had to go to the bathroom because her stomach
ached.
"Did you eat something bad?" Everleigh was a little worried. She took her bag and said, "I''ll go with
you."
"No need, Mommy. I can go by myself. You can order the dishes." Adrienne pointed to the bathroom
sign not far away. "I know where it is."
The bathrooms were all in the shopping mall outside the restaurants so they weren''t too far away.
Everleigh said, "Don''t be naughty ande back as soon as you''re done."
"Okay, okay."
When she was about to leave, Adrienne took something from her brother''s bag and stuffed it into
her little bag. Then, she ran away as fast as she could.
It was dusk at that time.
The street lights were gradually lighting up on the streets outside the malls, illuminating the bustling
streets brightly.
A ck Mercedes- Benz drove on the viaduct and there was some traffic at the peak of the
weekend. The hands that held the steering wheel were slender and clean, but they were not
rxed. Blue veins asionally popped out from them.
After getting off the viaduct, the car drove into the famous 1912 Bar Street in Ocpeace City.
There was no underground parking lot there, therefore it wasmon to see luxury cars parked all
along the streets.
Just as Theodore''s car came to a stop, he saw a flirtatious scene through the windshield at the
entrance of Moonlight Bar.
A couple leaned against a telephone pole on the side of the road and were kissing passionately.
"Leon." Theodore''s voice seemed out of ce. It sounded as though he was trying to break them
up.
The woman caught a glimpse of Theodore from the corner of her eye. She panted and reminded
Leon, "Mr. Leon, someone is calling you."
Leon, however, remained unaffected. He continued his kiss with great passion and the woman
could not stop kissing him because of his great skills.
Theodore was not in a hurry. He ced his hands in the pockets of his pants and kept two meters
away from them. His voice was low and powerful, "I n to advance the Si Hotel''s quarterly
performance review meeting to the end of this month."
A chilly gaze fell onto Leon''s back. His back stiffened and he finally stopped kissing. With one hand
holding onto the back of the woman''s head, he turned his head and showed a disappointed look.
"Did you have to spoil the mood?"
"It''s not me who is spoiling the mood, but it''s your performance."
Theodore''s expression was indifferent as he kept his hands in his pockets. His casual ck suit
was imposing. He was not much taller than Leon, but his calm and indifferent gaze made Leon
panic.
Leon''s temple began to twitch.
The two men stared at each other for a long time. Leon then patted the woman''s shoulder and told
her to leave first. Almost immediately, he changed into a smiling face and walked towards
Theodore. "Theodore, my dear brother, let''s talk calmly. You hurt my feelings when you mentioned
my performance."
Theodore nced at the arm that rested on his shoulder.
Leon smiled with embarrassment when he saw Theodore''s disgusted look and immediately put his
arm down.
"Let''s go." Theodore brushed his shoulders and left behind those two simple words, without
bothering to conceal his dislike towards Leon. Hethen headed straight to the bar.

Leon was a frequent visitor of 1912 Bar Street. All the owners of the bars there knew him, as he
would go to the bars 365 days in a year. With different women by his side each time, he would find
pleasure all year long.
When they were in their teens, Leon and Theodore were the two most unpromising boys in their
family. However, in terms of lifestyle, they were two extremes.
In a private room on the second floor of Moonlight Bar, a waiter came to serve them liquor. Next to
the waiter was a slightly older woman. She handed Leon a leather-covered ''menu'' and said with a
smile, "Mr. Leon, we have a few neers who are not bad."
Leon looked at Theodore from the corner of his eye. He sighed silently and looked at the ''menu''
with regret. In the end, he dismissed it with a wave of his hand.
When the waiter left, Leon and Theodore were the only ones left in therge private room.
"Ahh, ahh, ahh..." Leon yelled at the wall and turned to look at Theodore. "Can you hear that echo?
We''re the only ones in such arge private room. Aren''t you bored?"
Theodore did not even spare him a nce. He poured himself a ss of whiskey. When the ice
collided against the ss wall, it made a loud and clear ''clink'' sound.
Leon realized that something was wrong when he saw Theodore pour a drink for himself. "What''s
wrong? Are you okay?"
After drinking the whole ss, Theodore felt a violent burning sensation in his stomach that caused
him serious difort. His brows were almost squeezed into a knot and his dark eyes disyed a
repressive pain.
Leon quickly poured a ss of hot water and handed it to him. "Drink some water."
Theodore pushed the ss of hot water away, picked up the whiskey bottle, and poured more into
his ss.
"Hey." Leon rolled his eyes at him. "Your gastroenteritis was so severe that you needed to be
hospitalized. Why are you drinking so much?"
Theodore remained silent.
"Is it because of Everleigh again?"
Theodore stopped pouring whiskey into his ss when he heard the word ''Everleigh''.
Needless to say, it was her.
"Okay, drink then." Once he was sure that it was because of Everleigh, Leon gave up. He spread
himself on the sofa and shook his head repeatedly. "If it''s about her, then I can''t persuade you at all.
Drink as much as you like. I will take you to the city hospital after this. She is a doctor there anyway.
This will be another reason for the both of you to meet each other again."
Theodore''s hand, which held onto the ss, suddenly tightened. "Seven years ago, she left
Ocpeace City because she was threatened."
"Threatened?" Leon poured wine for himself. He felt that it was absurd when he heard that
Everleigh was ''threatened''. He did not take it seriously and said, "Who dared to threaten her? She''s
Everleigh Trevino; she''s the eldest daughter of Trevino Group."
"My mother."
"Auntie Madison?" Leon was taken aback for a moment. He slowed down his movements and
looked at Theodore in surprise.
However, Theodore did not look at him. His usually cold eyes were in a daze. His voice was
extremely oppressive. "Leon, I''ve misunderstood her for seven years."
Leon''s gaze narrowed. "So what?"
Before Theodore could speak, the sound of his mobile phone vibrating came from his suit
pants pocket.
Leon was seated very close to him. He caught a glimpse of the caller ID when he looked at his
phone. The word "Adrienne" was disyed on it.
"Who is that?" Leon asked in confusion.
He had never heard of such a person around Theodore before.
Theodore immediately pressed the answer button. His voice inexplicably softened, "Hello,
Adrienne."
Leon, seated next to him, clearly heard the word "daddy"ing from the phone. In an instant, he
was so shocked that he almost lost his grip on his ss. He looked at Theodore in horror.
It''s only been a few days since theyst met. How was it possible that Theodore had a child, who
could even call him on the phone?
