Adrienne was puzzled. “stair.”


    stair insisted, “I said no.”


    It was rare for stair to look so solemn. He was not only wary but he also seemed hostile to the man, which was unheard of for a kid his age.


    “Thank you but we can get it on our own.”


    Upon finishing that, stair dragged her sister away and lectured her,“You can’t ept anything from strangers. I’ve told you so many timesbut you never listen to me.”


    “But that uncle is so handsome.He’s definitely a good guy.”


    “He’s not handsome.”


    “No, he is!”


    …


    Theodore stood up and watched as the children walked away. He looked exceptionally cold in the rain. He handed the umbre to the assistant behind him.


    “Mr. Godfrey, the children…”


    “Moses, follow them. Don’t let anything happen to them.”


    “Yes, sir.”Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    After Moses went after the kids, Theodore returned to the car. He rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.


    The entrance to the apartment was just nearbyandit was still raining.


    However,it was just drizzling. Theodoreand his driver were alone in the car. Throughout the silence, the mobile phone vibrated several times.


    “Mr. Godfrey,” the driver reminded carefully, “Miss Bailey called a few times.”


    Theodore was lost in thought as he stared out of the window. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.


    He saw the children in the pharmacy.The girl resembled Everleigh.She was a chip straight off the old block.


    Meanwhile, Theodore felt that the boy looked like him.


    Theodore waited near the apartment for Moses to return. After a while,Adrienne darted into view. stair followed his sister closely and they both entered the apartment.


    Moses reported, “Mr. Godfrey, the kids are quite smart. They told the cashier that they didn’t have a father. They went on abouthow it was not easy for their single mother to take care of them. The little girl even cried.”


    Theodore raised his eyebrow when he heard the word ‘single mother’.


    He was not sure if the children were just using that as an excuse to buy medicine.


    No matter what, he would look into the matter and find out the children’s father.


    Theodore nced at the roof of the apartment. His eyes wereposed as he instructed Moses, “Investigate the kids. Send a report to my office tomorrow morning.”


    Moses was taken aback but he immediately nodded and replied, “Yes, Mr. Godfrey.”


    After a moment of silence, Theodore added, “Also, I want a report regarding Everleigh’s whereabouts in June seven years ago. Compile a detailed report for me.”


    Theodore’s eyes were filled with pain at the mention of that.


    Seven years ago, he first experienced hell whenEverleigh broke up with him. Immediately after, she left Ocpeace City and that tormented him.


    It was so painful that his heart would ache whenever he recalled it.


    The ck car sped out of the residential area.However, Theodore’s eyes remained transfixed on the rearview mirror. He was staring at the apartment that was disappearing out of sight.


    Everleigh’s return made him realize that those horrid years would not be healed with time.


    He wanted an exnation and she needed to be responsible for it.


    Ten kilometers away from the apartment was a famous wealthy district in Ocpeace City.


    There was a loud crash and a valuable antique cup hit the floor in the living room. It was shattered into pieces and tea spilled everywhere. The servants were bewildered.


    Josephine made several phone calls to Theodore butno one answered. Concurrently, she stared at the video from Godfrey Mansionand her face darkened.


    No, she could not just sit around and wait. To prevent unnecessary troubles,Everleigh must not stay in Ocpeace City.


    Josephine spoke grimly, “Leah, I heard that Selena is having her birthday party at Seacloud Hotel this weekend.”


    “Yes, miss.” Leah, the maid, hadserved Josephine ever since thetter was a child. Therefore, Josephine trusted Leah.


    “If Selena knows that her annoying sister had two children,will she take this opportunity to trample Everleigh in public? After all, the Trevino family’s friends and rtives will be there and Selena would definitely be thrilled.”


    “Miss, what do you mean?”


    “Go andget those things from the safe. I haven’t seen Selena for seven years now, soI should get her a big present.”


    Upon recalling the items in the safe, Josephine’s eyes shed coldly.Back then, she kept everything because she was worried that Everleigh woulde back.
