Chapter 236
"What''s wrong?" Theodore''s voice rang out beside her.
Then, Everleigh looked up and met his eyes. She quickly denied, "Nothing."
After she said that, she looked at the stage in front of her and did not exin any further. However,
she felt as if she''d fallen into a wide abyss and she had a shuddering realization after she put
together what had happened after she''d met Yvonne.
From the moment she''d met her, the woman seemed to be aiming for something. At first it was
undetected by all, but it was hard to miss now.
Perhaps Theodore was right. No one in the Godfrey family was truly innocent.
"It''s Adrienne''s turn now."
Helen''s voice pulled Everleigh''s thoughts back to the present.
At this time on the stage, Adrienne was dressed as a pink piglet. She came from the left side and
skipped as she sang a song.
The pink piglet''s headgear covered her head, revealing only her round little face. Her face was
adorable, and it caused the audience to sigh in awe.
After a while, her brother, stair, came out as well. He pulled on Adrienne''s hand onstage and
began to say his lines, "Wait a minute, Big Brother hasn''t arrived yet."
Thest toe out was Hansen. Compared to Adrienne and stair, Hansen was obviously more
nervous and identally missed two of his lines.
Everleigh had heard about their rehearsals countless times previously. She could even recite every
line in reverse fluently. At the moment, she couldn''t help but be nervous for Hansen.
He had always been introverted and easily scared.
Luckily, Adrienne was quick to react. She made up a few lines on the spot and went along with it.
"Adrienne is clever," Helen said with appreciation as she held up the camera. Pride colored her
expression as she watched her own great grandchildren.
Then, Yvonne said, "It''s Hansen''s first time on stage, so it''s inevitable that he''s a little nervous."
Her voice was soft, but Everleigh caught what she said.
Obviously, she said this not for Wilson''s benefit, nor for anyone else either. That was said for Helen,
and it seemed like she wanted to gain some favor for her son.
If it was before, Everleigh would have felt that there was nothing wrong with it. After all, Helen was
Hansen''s grandmother. Yvonne had never been her favorite daughter-inw, so it was natural for
her to hope that Helen could like Hansen more.
But at this time, she felt very ufortable hearing it.
On the other hand, it seemed that Helen didn''t hear what she said at all. She continued to take
more photos of the children onstage with as much enthusiasm as a child in a candy shop.
"Everleigh, Theodore, look, Adrienne is so cute."

After Helen addressed her, Everleigh came to her senses and nodded very cooperatively. She said
modestly, "It''s not too bad. Adrienne could barely remember the lines when she was rehearsing."
"Adrienne''s ability to adapt to the current situation is very good. At least her lines sound quite
natural."
"Don''t praise her too much. Shell get a big head if she hears what you said."
Adrienne''s ss show was the final performance of the festival. At the end, the principal came up
on stage to give a closing speech.
"I wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving Festival and good health. Please enjoy the holidays with
your children and thank you for taking the time to participate in our event."
Amidst thunderous apuse, the parents started trickling out of the auditorium slowly.
"Everleigh, let''s have dinner together." In the crowd, Helen took her hand and invited her to have a
meal together. "Bring the children with you."
However, Everleigh refused. "I have errands to run with Christopher tonight. I''m really sorry,
Grandma. Let''s do it next time."
"Well, that''s a pity；'' Disappointment colored Helen''s face as she replied.
Then, Everleigh said, "Grandma, don''t forget that you promised me to go back to the hospital after
the festival today. You have to go back now, or you''ll miss your physical exam and medication
session." "It''s fine, I''ll take Grandma back to the hospital," Theodore''s voice came from beside her,
steady and powerful.
Helen nced at him without waiting for Everleigh''s reply, "I don''t need you to send me. I have a
chauffeur to pick me up. You can apany Everleigh to visit the children backstage. If the
children are hungry, go and buy some food."
Upon hearing this, Everleigh immediately said, "You don''t have to do that, Grandma. Really..."
"I''m a little tired. I need to go back to the hospital first, so I''m asking Theodore to take care of the
children for me."
Helen said in a firm tone, and Everleigh could not refuse her.
On the other hand, Christopher was the first to step out of the row. Across the crowd, he called out
to Everleigh and urged her to leave.
At this moment, the backstage area was a hive of activity. Plenty of proud parents gathered at the
entrance, and the three of them found it hard to enter.
"Forget it, I think we should wait for a while," Christopher leaned against the doorframe at the
entrance with his arms crossed as he looked at Everleigh and Theodore.
It needed to be said that the two of them looked like a perfect match as they stood next to each
other.
"Mr. Godfrey, if I''m not mistaken, your stepmother sent your grandmother back to the hospital. Does
that mean that your family is reunited now?"
This was precisely the reason why Cecil said that Christopher''s loose lips would kill him one day.
He asked casually about the deepest family secrets of the Godfrey family, as if he was gossiping. It
was as if he was not talking about family affairs, but whether he had had dinner that day.
"This doesn''t seem to have anything to do with you, right?" As expected, Theodore''s tone was
suffused with a hint of nonchnce.
"I didn''t say it had anything to do with me. I was just curious and asked casually. Everleigh is also
very curious. If you don''t believe me, you can ask her," Christopher said and nced at her.
Everleigh stood next to Christopher calmly. She immediately rolled her eyes at him and said, "When
did I say I was curious?"
"Even though you didn''t say it, it''s what you''re thinking."
"Christopher." She said, gritting her teeth, "No one will think you''re mute if you don''t speak."
"Do you really want to know?" A t male voice broke the staring contest between Everleigh and
Christopher.
Then, Theodore looked at her and said seriously, "If you want to know, you can ask me directly. I
won''t hide it from you."
Hence, she was stunned and she was rendered speechless.
Christopher said, "So what you''re saying is that you''ll tell her whatever she asks?"
Theodore''s expression didn''t change. Although he didn''t say anything, his attitude was one of tacit
approval.
"Then I''ll ask for her. I know what she wants to ask anyway/ Christopher said shamelessly. He did
not notice that the expression in Everleigh''s eyes had changed.
She looked at the crowd backstage, lost in thought. Her gaze was fixed on the figure of a man, and
the blood drained from her face.
"Christopher." She grabbed his sleeve as her face turned pale.
