Chapter 638
Adrienne said awkwardly, "Daddy, you should order lesster. I need to start losing weight."
"I''ve already finished ordering. Better luck next time, or you could start losing weight tomorrow?"
Theodore chuckled and pinched her little face. She really had put on some weight. She was a child
but self- control was still necessary, otherwise, it wouldn''t be easy for them to lose weight in the
future.
Everleigh looked at her and said, "That''s it for today. How about tomorrow?"
"Okay fine, otherwise, I won''t have the energy to lose weight anyway." Hearing their conversation,
Adrienne immediately picked up her cutlery and began to eat happily.
Everleigh curled her lips. She always felt that Adrienne seemed to enjoy hearing those words.
The four of them were about to return to the Trevino family home after eating and drinking their fill.
Theodore didn''t understand. "Why don''t we just go back to my ce?"
Everleigh shook her head and said, "I''ll exin it to youter. Let''s go back to the Trevino family
home
first."
Theodore realised that something was up, so he didn''t ask any more questions and went straight to
the manor.
At this moment, only Leon and Selena were home, and he looked like he had nothing left for him to
live for.
"Selena, I can''t really mingle around with rich people," he said weakly.
He had never felt as tired as he did that day.
Allen Group was kind of a big deal and he used to manage it, but most of the time, thepany
was under his father''s control. Otherwise, how would he have time to go out and fool around with
women?
Selena poured him a ss of water and said, "You will get used to it. I''ve already turned down the
script. If you can''t handle it, I can help you out."
He held her hand and looked at her with a face full of affection. "Thank you very much. I know that
you like acting the most. Well, you can continue acting after I''m done dealing with thepany''s
affairs."
She nodded. That was all she could do for the time being.
However, deep down she understood that if she really wanted to make aeback, she would
have fewer resources because of therge number of neers who wouldpete with her.
When Everleigh came in, she heard Leon''s words and suggested, "If you really wanted to thank her,
why don''t you sponsor a show for her?"
Leon and Selena looked over when they heard Everleigh. They also saw Theodore with the children
with her.
"Why did youe back at a time like this?" Leon asked unhappily.
Everleigh sighed helplessly. "This is my home. Why can''t Ie? Besides, if you are telling the
truth, go straight to the room with her."
Selena''s face flushed bright red immediately. She lowered her head and stopped talking, secretly
pinching Leon too. It was all his fault for making them look stupid.
Her pinch was so painful that Leon couldn''t open his mouth; he could only pretend that he didn''t feel
anything.
Little did they know their behavior had been observed by the four of them. Adrienne was about to
speak, but was stopped by stair. "Mommy, Daddy, we are going up to rest."
"Sure. Go ahead and rest." Everleigh knew that they still had school the following day, so they had
to go to bed early.
"Selena, please help me take care of them for me for a few days. I need to take a quick trip to
Hallowy City," Everleigh stopped joking and said seriously.
Selena noticed her serious expression and knew that she had urgent matters to attend to. "Go
ahead. I''ll take good care of the children."
"I''ll be back before their performance. Also, tell Hilda that Adrienne wants to eat sushi and to make
something simple for them."
"Alright." Selena also knew about their performance. She knew it from Adrienne''s loud rambling
when she came back from school.
It was difficult not to know.
When Theodore learned that she was going to Hallowy City he immediately knew that there was
news from Elvir.
No wonder she had to return home that day.
"We should head back now." He turned his head and said to her. Everleigh nodded. She had to
make it clear to him.
Selena hurriedly asked, "Where are you going? It''s sote. Why don''t you stay for the night then go
back tomorrow?" "Okay." Everleigh took Theodore''s hand and went upstairs. It didn''t matter where
they slept anyways.
When Selena saw this, she felt that she seemed to have been tricked.
It was obvious that Everleight wanted Theodore to stay, but it was as if she was afraid of being
laughed at.
"Did I fall into her trap or something?" She thought to herself.
"Ah... We can''t ever outmatch them. Well get used to it." Leonforted her.
Selena listened to him and was speechless. She didn''t know what to say.
Everleigh brought Theodore back to the room and said in a deep voice, "Elvir called me today. I
already made the arrangements. Let''s go tomorrow."
"Alright."
She suddenly felt nervous. She didn''t know whether this person would tell her the truth or not, and
she didn''t have any clue who did it.
What should she do if it was a member of the Jenkins family?
Would she really be able to do as promised? That no matter who did it, he or she would be turned to
the authorities.
"Don''t worry, I''m here." He knew what she was worried about.
He would not make things difficult for her.
No matter who did it, he would take care of it himself.

She raised her head and smiled faintly before letting out a soft "Okay."
The next day, they set off to Hallowy City. On the way, Everleigh had a solemn expression on her
face, and she was getting more and more anxious.
Theodore didn''t say anything either. He knew that she was in a bad mood and gave her some
space.
Elvir was waiting for them in the hotel.
When Everleigh saw him, she didn''t say anything. Yet, he still noticed that she did not look very
good. "Don''t worry, I''ve already met this person."
"Will he tell the truth?" She asked.
He kept silent. In fact, he did not know either. There were too many greedy people in the world.
Who knew what they''re capable of?
"Let''s talk about it when we meet." He had only asked a few simple questions beforehand. He left
the important questions for Everleigh to ask.
"Let''s go now," Theodore suggested.
"Okay."
The three of them went to the prison and looked at the ce that felt gloomy and cold. Everleigh
unconsciously shrunk her neck.
Elvir saw her behavior and said softly, "This is how a prison looks. You''ve seen movies, right? It''s
said that artes from life. This is the best example."
Theodore tightened his grip on her hand without saying a word.
She smiled faintly. She understood what he meant.
The three of them sat aside and waited. Soon, a handcuffed man came to sight. His face was full of
stubble, and his eyes were also a little dull and hazy. When he saw Elvir, he regained some of his
spirit and energy.
"What are you doing here?"
"You wanted to know who sent me here didn''t you? I''ve brought you the person," Elvir said coldly
while his gaze fell on Everleigh.
When the man looked at her, his breathing hitched and he was shocked. "You..."
"It seems that you know me, Mr. Yeager?" She already knew what was going on when she saw the
look in his eyes.
