Chapter 178


    At night, Everleigh got off work and went homete. The nanny had already taken the two children


    back from school. When Everleigh arrived home, only a servant in her house, Martha Allen, was


    cleaning up the kitchen.


    "Miss, are you off work? Have you had dinner? There''s a ready-made dish in the fridge. I''ll make


    you a te of it."


    "No, thanks. I''ve already eaten." Everleigh changed into slippers and asked, "Where are the two


    children?"


    Martha looked up and said, "They''re upstairs. I don''t know what happened at school today. I noticed


    that stair and Adrienne were not very happy, especially Adrienne. She went upstairs after eating


    a few bites of dinner, and didn''t even watch cartoons."


    Hearing this, Everleigh frowned and was a little worried.


    After the sports day was ruined, Yvonne and her went to the police station to make a report. It was


    not convenient to take the children away. However, when they left in a hurry, she did not have time


    to say anything to them. They were probably frightened.


    "It''s okay, I''ll go and see them," Everleigh forced a smile at Martha and said, "Martha, sorry to


    trouble you. You can get off work first. I''ll clean upter."


    "Okay, alright."


    In the bedroom on the second floor, when Everleigh knocked on the door and went in, Adrienne was


    lying on the bed with her little bunny doll in her arms, and the nket was neatly covered over her


    body. It seemed that she had already fallen asleep.


    stair was sitting on the carpet and ying with hisputer. When he saw Everleighe in,


    he looked up and said, "Mommy, are you off work?"


    "Yes." Everleigh nodded and asked, "Is Adrienne asleep?"


    stair shook his head gently.


    Everleigh nodded knowingly and sat down on the edge of the bed helplessly.


    In fact, as soon as she came in, she knew that Adrienne was pretending to be asleep. Adrienne


    usually kicked off her nket more than ten times in a night if she was sleeping. If she really fell


    asleep, she would not be as calm as she was now.


    "Adrienne." Everleigh gently patted Adrienne''s shoulder through the nket. "Martha said that you


    didn''t eat much for dinner. Aren''t you hungry? I bought a cake on my way back."


    The small round face with it''s chin covered by the nket tightened suddenly, and she also pursed


    her small mouth.


    Faced with delicious food, Adrienne usually had no resistance. At this time, she used all her


    strength to stop herself from opening her eyes. Even Everleigh could feel her conflict through the


    nket.


    "And I bought ice cream of a new vor. It''s raspberry and it''s delicious."


    "Gulp." The sound of swallowing was particrly clear in the quiet room.

    Everleigh pursed her lips and smiled. Pretending that she didn''t hear anything, she turned to


    stair and said, "stair, since Adrienne is asleep, you can go downstairs and eat it with me.


    There was only one raspberry-vored ice cream left in the shop."


    After saying this, Everleigh got up from the bed.


    The flesh on Adrienne''s little pink face was almost scrunched tightly into a ball.


    "s." Everleigh sighed. "Unfortunately, the cake won''tst. We can only eat it today, so we can''t


    leave a piece for Adrienne. It''s even her favorite strawberry cake." "stair, let''s go down and eat."


    "No way!" An exmation came from the bed. Adrienne suddenly got up with an anxious look on


    her face.


    Everleigh stood by the door with her arms crossed and joked, "Adrienne, you weren''t asleep?"


    Adrienne looked at her brother, who was still sitting on the carpet without moving, and then looked


    at the smug smile on her mother''s face. All of a sudden, Adrienne knew that she had been tricked.


    She said angrily, "Mommy, you''re lying!"


    Everleigh raised her eyebrows and said unwillingly, "Adrienne, you lied first. Obviously, you weren''t


    asleep, but you pretended to be."


    "No, I didn''t!" Adrienne''s cheeks bulged like two balloons. Her beautiful big eyes were wide open


    and she said stubbornly, "I was asleep. Mommy, you woke me up!"


    "I see." Everleigh went on without exposing the truth. "Did I me you for the wrong thing?"


    Adrienne crossed her chubby little hands, looking righteous and confident. She turned her head and


    did not look at Everleigh.


    "Hmph!"


    "In that case, I will apologize to you. How about raspberry ice cream and a slice of strawberry cake


    as a peace offering?"


    Adrienne immediately stretched out two fingers and said, "Two slices of cake. I want two."


    "Okay, two slices."


    As soon as Everleigh agreed, Adrienne jumped out of bed immediately and ran downstairs. stair


    turned off theputer and went down with her.


    At the dining table, Everleigh took a tissue to wipe the cream from the corner of Adrienne''s mouth


    and said, "Eat slowly. No one will take it from you."


    Adrienne''s mouth was full. Compared to stair who was eating in a gentle and elegant way, they


    were totally different. If they didn''t look alike, Everleigh wouldn''t believe that these two children were


    both from her womb.


    "Although I''ve eaten cake, Mommy, I''m still angry!" Adrienne ate the cake and did not forget to


    express her dissatisfaction with Everleigh solemnly. It took her a long while to say it clearly.


    Everleigh looked at her helplessly. "Why are you angry?"


    "stair told me that thedy who came to school today is Dad... No," Adrienne bit her lip and said,


    "She is Theodore''s mother!"


    Everleigh was stunned for a moment and looked at her son in confusion.


    How did stair know?


    Adrienne continued to speak angrily, "Mommy, you have never told us how fierce Theodore''s


    mommy is!"


    "What''s wrong?" Everleigh was puzzled.


    Adrienne put down the fork. Even with the cream on her mouth, she tried to act like an adult. She


    said seriously, "Theodore''s mommy is so fierce. If you marry Theodore, your rtionship will


    definitely be bad in the future, and you will be bullied. I don''t want you to get bullied, Mommy!"


    As she spoke, Adrienne''s eyes turned red. "I was longing for you to be with Theodore before. I''m


    such a bad girl!"


    "Adrienne, don''t cry." Everleigh wiped Adrienne''s tears in distress. "Adrienne, you''re very good. I


    know that you were doing it for my sake. Hush, it''s alright."


    Everleigh thought that Adrienne was angry with her because they were frightened in the afternoon.


    She left in a hurry and didn''t exin it to the two children. She didn''t expect Adrienne to be mad at


    herself.


    "Sob, sob, sob. Theodore''s mommy was really too much. She''s so fierce." The more Adrienne


    spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. She sobbed. "I won''t ever like Theodore anymore. Mommy,


    please don''t meet Theodore anymore, okay?"


    A child''s word was either ck or white; it was very simple. The bad person was the bad person,


    and the good person was the good person.


    Everleighforted her, "Okay, Adrienne, be good. Don''t cry and eat the cake."


    Just as they were talking, the barking sound of a dog could be heard from outside.


    Woof! Woof!


    Everleigh stopped wiping Adrienne''s tears and looked out of the window while following the sound.


    The sound seemed to havee from the yard.


    stair''s eyes suddenly lit up. He put down the fork immediately and ran to the window of the


    dining room.


    From the window of the dining room, they could clearly see the courtyard. At the entrance of the


    courtyard, a tall figure was holding a golden retriever with a brace around its neck.


    "It''s Ace!" stair eximed.
