Deep Love Hidden From Him -
Chapter 357
Adrienne nodded repeatedly. "Yes, pale."
"I'm pale because of work. Eat up. You have to go to school in a while."
"Mommy, are you out of your mind? It's a holiday today," Adrienne reminded her kindly.
Everleigh was a little surprised. She glanced at the phone and found that it was really their holiday.
"Okay, then wait for Theodore to pick you up."
"We won't be going today. We have to go to the Meyer family in a while. Christopher called me this morning," Adrienne said with a conflicted look. "Why haven't I heard about it from Christopher?"
"He decided it in the spur of the moment. You'll have to come at night too. It seems that someone has come back," Alastair explained clearly. Everleigh thought for a while and realized that it could only be Christopher's eldest sister, Ysabelle.
"It couldn't be, could it? If she was to come back, she would have informed them earlier. Why didn't she reply to the message until now?"
"Mommy, stop thinking about it. Christopher said that he has already asked for leave for you. He'll come and pick us up later. Do you want to change into a new set of clothes?" Adrienne knew what was going on when she did not speak.
Therefore, she gave her some advice.
Everleigh looked at her casual clothes. It was indeed inappropriate. She went back and changed. She also put on the jewelry Felicia gave her.
She had to appreciate her kindness.
When Christopher arrived, he saw Everleigh standing at the door with Alastair and Adrienne. She was wearing a long black dress, which looked like an elegant evening gown. It was perfect for such an occasion.
"I was planning to take you shopping, but it seems that you've already changed into an appropriate outfit."
"I don't want you to waste your money," Everleigh said as she sat in the car.
Cristopher pursed his lips. There was no way he could spend on her even if he wanted to. He was just as poor.
The four of them got into the car and drove to the Meyer family mansion. Adrienne asked as soon as she got in the car, "Christopher, is Aunt Ysabelle easy to get along with?" "Not at all. You have to be careful."
"Really?" She asked with concern in her eyes.
Christopher laughed and said, "Of course not. She'll fall in love with you the moment she sees you. She also brought gifts."
When Adrienne heard that there were gifts, her little eyes lit up. "Yay, I like gifts."
Everleigh felt a little helpless about her daughter's behavior. She was worried that Adrienne would become a materialistic woman. "Christopher, don't buy anything else for her."
"She's just a child. It's fine. I believe your teachings won't make her a materialistic woman." He knew exactly what she was thinking. Everleigh blushed as if her worries had been seen through.
He smiled and they didn't think too much about it.
In the Meyer family mansion, Mrs. Meyer had been standing at the door, waiting for Christopher's arrival. Although it was autumn, her face was covered in sweat.
"Mom, what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see Alastair and Adrienne," Mrs. Meyer replied, then squatted down and opened her arms. "Alastair and Adrienne, did you miss me?" "Yes." Adrienne immediately went to hug her and kissed her or the cheek.
The smile on Mrs. Meyer's face grew even wider as she kissed Adrienne.
"Hello, Grandma," Alastair greeted respectfully.
"Okay, okay. Let's go. I've prepared delicious food for you." Mrs. Meyer went in with the two children.
She didn't even look at Christopher.
With a long face, he turned back to hug Everleigh and said, "I'm obviously not her biological son. Comfort me."
Everleigh patted his head and said helplessly, "Get used to it. Now that your eldest sister is back, I'm assuming they'll care about you
less."
When he thought of his big sister's face, the hair on the back of his neck stood up. The other older sisters loved their younger brothers, but it was the complete opposite in his family.
It was normal for his sisters to bully him.
When they entered, Felicia and Ysabelle were sitting on the couch and chatting. When they saw Everleigh and the others come in, both of them got up and went to greet them.
"Everleigh, let me introduce my eldest daughter, Ysabelle." Mrs. Meyer walked in and started to introduce her.
Everleigh looked over and saw that Ysabelle was completely different from Felicia. She had long hair, shrewd dark eyes, and a smile that appeared at the corners of her mouth. However, she seemed to feel a kind of affinity with her.
"Everleigh, nice to meet you. I'm sorry I came back so late."
"You're too polite, Miss Ysabelle. I know you're busy," Everleigh responded with a smile.
"Alright, everyone's family here. No need to be so polite. Let's go and have dinner," Mrs. Meyer said with a smile.
The family sat at the table and ate. Felicia looked at the necklace on Everleigh's neck and did not say anything.
Ysabelle, on the other hand, talked a lot about foreign affairs.
"Everleigh, I heard that you have developed a new medicine."
"Yes, we successfully treated a patient, but we still have to do some follow-ups," Everleigh said calmly, not feeling that proud of the benefits of new medicine.
Ysabelle's eyes sparkled as she smiled without saying anything.
At this time, Felicia said coldly, "I've already said a long time ago that our sister-in-law is much more promising than our younger brother, but he's not willing to stay at home and take care of the children." When Christopher heard this, he immediately exploded. "I've already kept my presence to the minimum, and yet you're still here criticizing me. Will you die if you don't say anything?"
Ysabelle gently twisted her delicate eyebrows and turned her head to ask her father, "Is it true?"
"Everleigh didn't agree to such a proposal."
"Why not, Everleigh?"
She smiled awkwardly, "Everyone has their own ambition. His ambition is not here, so I can't force him."
"You're too kind. Even if it's a tough move, you can still use it. After all, he's just a useless little brother." Ysabelle took a bite of the food and didn't think there was anything wrong in saying so. Everleigh turned her head and looked at Christopher, who was flustered and exasperated. She felt extremely helpless for him.
The episode passed just like that. Alastair and Adrienne, on the other hand, made Ysabelle happy, but she had nothing to give them, so she directly passed the houses she had in her hands to them. Everleigh quickly shook her head. "No, we have a house."
"I heard that you're still living in the Trevino family home. It's not exactly appropriate. Last time, Felicia gave you your new house. This is a gift for the children, so there's no need to feel bad." Everleigh could no longer refuse.
She was really getting more uncomfortable. It was a fake marriage, so she was even more in the wrong.
Before she could speak, Felicia interrupted, "Just take it. You don't have to feel bad."
"Yes, we are a family. Give it to the children." Mrs. Meyer directly gave the key to the house to Adrienne, and she kindly accepted it.
Everleigh was helpless, but she could only accept it. She would return it to Christopher later.
When it was time to go back, Ysabelle was reluctant to part with the children. She said, "I'll have to go abroad in a few days. Everleigh, can you let the children stay here for a few days tomorrow?"
