Chapter 276


    Everleigh turned around and looked at Adrienne, who handed her the half-eaten ice cream which


    had melted into a disgusting-looking blob.


    stair noticed it and felt disgusted. The food was good, but it became less delightful when


    Adrienne ate it.


    "Eat it yourself okay? I can''t have cold foods." It wasn''t that Everleigh did not want the ice cream,


    but she could only have light foods at the moment.


    Thus, she couldn''t eat cold or spicy foods.


    Adrienne was a little bit disappointed. "Oh, then I''ll save it for you."


    "It''s better if you don''t. Mommy is an adult. She can''t always eat these things." stair felt that if


    she saved it, there would probably only be a puddle left behind.


    Could that be eaten at all?


    Adrienne pouted and said in a childish tone, "Don''t talk nonsense. Mommy also likes sweet food,


    Daddy said so."


    Hearing Adrienne address Theodore as her daddy, Everleigh''s facial expression sank.


    Since she leftst time, she had not seen him. Maybe he had given up on her.


    "Daddy." Adrienne''s joyful voice rang out.


    Everleigh''s expression froze. She turned her head to look at the door. Indeed, Theodore''s tall figure


    was standing right at the door. His dark eyes fixed on her, and theplicated emotions in his eyes


    were clear for all to see.


    She turned her head, looking very unhappy. Her hand was already on the emergency bell.


    It seemed that she would make a move as long as he took any action.


    "Daddy, what took you so long?" Adrienne walked over and lifted her gaze to look at him. Her bright


    eyes were smiling and she was happy about his arrival.


    Theodore looked down at the little girl hugging his legs. His gaze softened a little as he squatted


    down to carry Adrienne.


    "How did you make such a mess of yourself?" He said, but he was already using his handkerchief


    to wipe her face.


    Since Adrienne appeared in his life, he often kept a handkerchief on hand for her.


    She gave him a silly smile and deliberately kissed him on the face, "Daddy, your face is dirty too."


    Heughed lightly, and it was clear that he doted on his daughter.


    When he learned that these two children were his, he felt as if his dreams hade true.


    "What are you doing here?" Everleigh asked, looking at Theodore who was all smiles. Her heart


    was filled with dissatisfaction. Recalling what he did to her, her anger rose again.


    It seemed hypocritical for him to show up here.


    "I came to see you."


    He walked over with Adrienne in his arms. He knew that Everleigh was very angry.


    She sneered and said, "Thank you for your concern. Thanks to you, I''m not dead yet."


    stair and Adrienne listened to their mother''s words, feeling puzzled. Adrienne really didn''t


    understand what she meant and stair felt that there was something else in her words that he


    didn''t understand.


    Theodore closed his eyes and shut his mouth. For a moment, he didn''t know what to say.


    "Theodore, go back. I don''t need you to visit me." Everleigh''s expression was cold, and there was a


    sense of distant resentment in her tone.


    She didn''t want to see him, not even for a moment.


    The hand that Theodore was holding Adrienne with unknowingly tightened more than usual.


    Hence, Adrienne felt a little pain. "Daddy, why did you pinch me?"


    "I''m sorry. It''s my fault. I''ll bring you to have something delicious tomorrow, okay?"


    Adrienne was a child whose only focus was food. When she was promised good food, all the pain


    was gone.


    "Okay, Daddy. You shoulde earlier tomorrow."


    He reached out and patted her head dotingly.


    When he left, he nced at Everleigh, but she didn''t meet his gaze.


    He turned around to leave, and Adrienne sent him off reluctantly.


    Upon returning to the car, Theodore''s loving feelings disappeared, and what was left was


    resentment towards the Bailey family.


    Taking out his mobile phone, he dialed a series of numbers and said in a cold voice, "Let''s move."


    "Don''t make me repeat myself." After saying that, Theodore hung up the phone and departed for the


    Lon Bay Vi.


    Looking at the endless streets, it was just like him and Everleigh. No lights would shine between


    them anymore.


    They were now both embroiled in darkness.


    However, he did not want this. Instead, he wanted to be with her and live happily ever after.


    Theodore''s sudden attack had caught the Bailey family off guard. At the same time, the first thing


    that was announced publicly was the news that the Godfrey and Bailey families had canceled the


    engagement.


    When Josephine saw the news, she immediately gaped in shock.


    Didn''t Madison do anything about this?


    It wasn''t just Josephine, though. When Everleigh saw it, her first reaction was that she didn''t know


    what Theodore meant by doing this.


    Christopher walked in the door. Seeing her in her absent- minded state, he asked in a rxed


    voice, "Penny for your thoughts?"


    "What do you mean?"


    "Theodore''s broken up with Josephine. Do you know what this means?"


    Everleigh shook her head. She didn''t know why Theodore had suddenly made this decision. Earlier


    on it was just a verbal interaction, so it wasn''t a big deal. This time, everyone knew about it.


    Christopher put away his yful attitude and said seriously, "I told him what Josephine did back


    then."


    She did not have much reaction to his words.


    "Surely Theodore must be filled with regrets. He''s sorry that he hated you for leaving, and for


    wanting to marry the woman who framed you. I have the feeling that he must feel like the biggest


    jackass in the world." No matter how hard he tried, he couldn''t hide his glee at seeing Theodore in


    trouble.


    However, Everleigh pursed her lips and said nothing. She remembered the expression on his face


    when he came over. The apology was directed to her, and not Adrienne.


    But what was the use of apologizing now? The damage had been done, and no one could change


    it.


    "Let''s wait and see. There''s going to be delicious drama brewing within the Godfrey family."


    Christopher crossed his arms and looked at her expectantly.


    Everleigh didn''t understand. What did he mean by delicious drama?


    Over at the Godfrey family home, Madison was boiling in anger when she saw the news. She had


    openly dered Josephine Bailey as the future heiress to the Godfrey family. Canceling the


    engagement at this time was no different from embarrassing her.


    "Ahhhll!" Madison swept everything on the coffee table to the ground.

    The butler and the servants didn''t dare toe forward as they stood behind her. They did not even


    dare to breathe.


    "Go... Tell Theodore toe back here now."


    The butler and others exchanged looks after hearing what she said, and no one dared to answer


    her.


    "What are you doing? Are you all rebelling as well?" Madison was even angrier when she saw that


    they weren''t moving.


    The butler quickly signaled to the servant next to him and asked them to make a phone call as Mrs.


    Godfrey was getting more and more irritated.


    It was not long before the maid came back and told her, "Mr. Godfrey said he is not free."


    Madison''s chest heaved in anger, then her eyes rolled backwards in her head and she copsed.


    Never did she expect herself to fail at controlling her own son. She had been a strong woman her


    whole life and that was why the whole thing was uneptable to her.


    This matter did not only affect the Godfrey family but also the Bailey Group.
