Alastair was silent for a moment before he said, "It seems that rich people's lives are not so happy."

"As a boss, you should set an example. Not only do you have to get up earlier than everyone else, but you also need to be calm when you do things. Not only that, you should be more foresighted than the others. Otherwise, you won't be able to lead well," Everleigh said sincerely.

Her expression was also full of seriousness.

It was the same for a lot of people. Whenever she asked her father to play with her, he was always busy with work.

Alastair nodded and Adrienne showed a pitiful expression "Does that mean that they don't even get to sleep early?"

"Yes, Alastair and Adrienne. Earning money is hard work, but you need to do it to live." She had experienced the days when they didn't have money.

If it wasn't for her current job, she might have to work part-time.

Seeing her expression, Alastair said with a serious face, "Don't worry, I will make a lot of money and support you."

"Well, I can't wait for that day to come," she said jokingly.

As a mother, she didn't care how rich Alastair and Adrienne would get. All she hoped for was for them to be happy and grow up healthily.

Theodore drove over to the neighboring city. He had to come back to visit Madison before he was done with his business last time.

His phone rang. He pressed the answer button and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Godfrey, Yvonne has begun investigating the direction of the company's fundings. What are we going to do now?"

"Show her the funds you used to buy the land and clean up the rest."

"Yes, Mr. Godfrey. I'll go and arrange it now, but you have to come back as soon as possible. There will be a shareholders' meeting in a few days," Moses reminded him. Theodore's eyes flashed as he looked at the street in front of him with a bit more coldness.

"I know." He hung up and sped up to leave Ocpeace City.

A few days later, the first thing Theodore did when he returned was to look for Everleigh and his two children.

"Daddy, you're back?" Adrienne greeted him with open arms as if she was asking for his hug.

Theodore squatted down and held her in his arms. Adrienne kissed him on the face. Although his face was expressionless, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

"Hurry up and go back. I have to go to the hospital," Everleigh said.

"Mm. I'll bring you guys out for dinner tonight. I have something going on tomorrow, so I can't come pick them up," he said in a low voice.

She nodded in response.

When Everleigh came to the hospital, Christopher was flirting with the other nurses. He heard that a new batch of intern nurses had come, all of them were gorgeous.

After she came back from her rounds, he was accompanied by a different person. She was speechless, "Are you trying to be a king?"

"It doesn't feel right for me not to flirt with these beauties," he said in a self-righteous way. He did not feel that he had done anything wrong.

She sat in her chair, holding her mobile phone, and said matter-of-factly, "Felicia called me earlier and said that your card may be frozen. Someone went to your house to look for you."

"Wow, this again?" He quickly got up from the chair. When he heard that his card would be frozen, he felt uncomfortable.

The hospital's salary was simply not enough for him to spend.

"I don't want to get into such trouble. You'll have to deal with it yourself." After saying that, Everleigh went to see her patients.

Christopher glanced at her. "Don't tell me that you've rekindled your relationship with Theodore after meeting him."

She was slightly stunned and her eyes were cold. "You knew?"

"Don't look at me like that. I saw it by accident. You two were so fearless. What will you do if your father knows?" He kindly reminded her.

She lowered her eyelids, deep in thought.

Seeing that she did not speak, he thought she was unhappy. I'm just trying to remind you. You don't have to be so angry."

"I..." Before Everleigh finished her words, her cell phone rang. Looking at the number, she smiled and said, "Hello, have you reached?"

"Okay, I'll go now." She hung up and was about to leave after taking her bag.

"Everleigh, you can't leave like this. You are on duty." Christopher stopped her in a hurry, mainly because he wanted to know who was on the other side of the phone and why she was in such a hurry. How could Everleigh not understand him? He just wanted to know who the caller was.

"Aren't you here? Help me out. I have to go." She did not give him a chance to speak at all. She took her bag and left.

He couldn't take it anymore. "Everleigh, tell me who is calling."

"You'd better think about settling your card."

"Those aren't important. Tell me, which man is it?" He held onto Everleigh's hand.

She shook his hand off without mercy and left without looking back. As she walked, she called Cecil and asked if she had the time to go to the airport to pick someone up.

"Of course I have the time. I'll be right there," Cecil said excitedly and hung up the phone.

Everleigh was very helpless. Normally at times like this, Cecil would be trapped in by her family, and she didn't have a good reason to go out.

It seemed that it's true that the members of the

Four Great Households did not have much freedom.

In the airport, Everleigh and Cecil stood at the exit and craned their necks to look at the people inside. Cecil couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure it's here?"

"Yes, let's wait. He should be here soon," Everleigh said, but her face showed that she was very anxious.

She checked her watch from time to time.

Just when they were getting bored, someone called out from the front, "Everleigh, Cecil."

They looked over and saw Alexander dressed in a dark suit. His hair was dark and his handsome face was covered by a pair of big sunglasses, but the temperament he exuded could not be covered up. "What took you so long? Our legs are almost numb, you have to treat us." Before Everleigh could speak, Cecil complained.

Alexander listened to her complaint but was not angry. "Sure, it's my treat. Let's go."

"I have already found the place. I've been wanting to eat barbecue recently. I miss the feeling of being drenched in sweat." Cecil felt happy just thinking about it.

Everleigh didn't know how to describe her carefree personality. Although it was autumn, it was still very hot.

"It doesn't matter what I eat, as long as I get to. I came as soon as I finished my matters. The airplane food tastes bad," Alexander said softly. He never said no to food, as long as it was enough for him to be full.

The Jenkins family's rule was that they should not waste food.

"Then hurry up. Everleigh's driving." Cecil had already arranged it; she had even booked a table.

When the three of them arrived, Everleigh and Alexander looked at each other tacitly and laughed knowingly.
