Chapter 143
"Hansen's body..."
"Hansen is very sensible." Everleigh patted Hansen's head and said with a smile, "Even if we take him to the amusement park, he won't ride on those dangerous rides and Loraine would worry too. After all, Loraine just wants Hansen to have a special birthday."
Yvonne was silent.
"Actually, if you don't feel comfortable, you can go with them."
Yvonne sighed. She looked at her son apologetically and said to Everleigh, "I have an art exhibition that day. It won't end until at least five in the evening."
"I see." Everleigh could not say anything more.
After all, mothers would always worry for their children when they were outdoors. Not to mention, Hansen had a special physical condition, hence, it burdened Yvonne.
Yvonne looked at Everleigh and suddenly asked, "Everleigh, are you free this Saturday?"
"This Saturday? If there are no emergencies in the hospital, then yes. What's the matter?" "Can I trouble you to accompany Loraine and Hansen to the amusement park?"
Yvonne knew she was asking a lot from Everleigh. She put down her teacup and said seriously, "I won't be comfortable leaving them in another person's care. Everleigh, I will pay you three times what you're paid."
"That's not what I meant. I just didn't see it coming." Everleigh came back to her senses. "I can take Loraine and Hansen to the amusement park, as long as you are okay with it. It's not a big deal."
She was planning to bring Alastair and Adrienne too.
"Thank you so much."
"No problem."
Yvonne was thrilled and insisted that Everleigh stay for dinner. Her daughter, Loraine, was even happier than Yvonne. After she knew Everleigh was bringing them to the amusement park, she was so thrilled that she kept serving Everleigh food during dinner.
"Evie, eat more. This is delicious."
"Thank you."
Everleigh was always stunned each time she looked at Loraine.
Loraine looked like a boy and there was something familiar in her gaze compared to Theodore's. Every time she smiled, it reminded Everleigh of how Theodore was in college.
Yvonne and her family kept Everleigh company until late at night.
The car drove out of theYoreast Hills Garden and onto the highway. The street lights at night were bright. However, the rearview mirror had a constant view of a black car following closely behind her.
Everleigh glanced at the rearview mirror and dialed a number. "Christopher, it's me." "There's a car that has been following me today. Can you help me look into the license plate number?"
The car had been following her since she left Ocpeace Medical University at noon. She did not notice it at first, but when the car followed her intoYoreast Hills Garden, she noticed it in the rearview mirror.
Under the night sky, Everleigh drove steadily. She remained calm even though she knew someone was following her. When she drove away from theYoreast Hills Garden highway to the city, the car suddenly turned away and stopped following her.
Judging from the direction the car was headed, it was heading back to Yoreast Hills Garden.
While Everleigh pondered, her phone rang. A WhatsApp message popped up.
Christopher texted her. He only said one sentence, "I've checked. The car belongs to Madison's driver."
The word "Madison" was like a prick in Everleigh's eyes. Her gaze instantly darkened.
"It's her again!" Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Half an hour later, she arrived at her house.
The lights were bright. Christopher was back from work and was playing with Alastair in the living room. Adrienne watched cartoons with a bag of snacks in her arms.
"Madam is back." The nanny, Maria, opened the door.
Christopher looked up at the sound of Everleigh changing her shoes and entering. "You're back?"
"Yes."
"Mommy!" Adrienne threw the bag of snacks aside, ran towards Everleigh and gave her a big hug. "Mommy, the teacher praised me today. She said that my singing was very good and allowed me to compete."
Everleigh bent down and tidied up Adrienne's hair. "Really? You're so talented."
After that, she patted Adrienne's head and went straight to the living room.
Christopher just finished the game with Alastair. He could tell something was off by the look on her face. He said to Maria, "Maria, it's getting late. Take Alastair and Adrienne to their rooms to sleep."
"Okay, sir."
Maria took the two children away and left Everleigh and Christopher in the living room.
Christopher took two cans of beer from the refrigerator and handed one to Everleigh.
With a "sizzle", the can popped open and some white foam oozed out.
Everleigh raised her neck and gulped down the beer. She said unhappily, "What do you think Madison is trying to do?"
"Ask yourself."
"Ask myself?"
Christopher sipped his beer. "Although Theodore is the sole heir to the Godfrey Group and Madison retired a few years ago, do you really think that she would completely hand over the group to Theodore and not care about anything else?"
"What does this have to do with her following me?" "Everything." Christopher took another sip of his beer. "Madison sees Theodore as her artwork. You've gotten too close to her artwork. Did you think she wouldn't know?"
Everleigh squeezed the can in her hand.
"By the way, I suddenly remembered something," Christopher said with a meaningful look, "Madison also lives at Yoreast Hills Garden."
"What?" It was the first time Everleigh was hearing this.
Madison also lived at Yoreast Hills Garden?
Christopher knew what she was thinking and said, "Unbelievable, right? Wilson's ex- wife lives in the same area as his current wife. Yoreast Hills Garden is the largest villa area in Ocpeace City. The odds of them meeting each other are rather low. Still, the Godfrey family have so many properties and these two people live so close to each other..."
It stunned everleigh. No wonder the car from earlier went into Yoreast Hills Garden with her. It was not a place where ordinary cars could enter as they pleased.
Christopher said, "Madison has a strong prejudice against you. If she knows that you and Yvonne are close, I'm afraid things will get more complicated."
Everleigh's frown deepened.
It was late at night. Meanwhile, in the living room of the villa in the northern part of Yoreast Hills Garden.
Mrs. Godfrey's face darkened as she looked at the photos and videos she received on the phone.
"Theodore visited her frequently recently?"
"Yes," the subordinate who just came back said respectfully. He was standing upright. "Especially in these couple of days, Mr. Theodore asked Mr. Lawson to look into Everleigh. He went to the hospital twice personally, but he did not manage to meet her. She was on leave."
"On leave?"
"Yes, I just found out that she was at Ocpeace Medical University today. There is one thing I'm not sure whether I should tell you."
The subordinate's tone sounded a little nervous, as if he was about to say something taboo.
Mrs. Godfrey frowned and said impatiently, "Spit it out already."
"I followed Everleigh today and found out that her car drove into Yoreast Hills Garden."
"She's been here?"
"No, she came toYoreast Hills Garden, but the southern side..." The subordinate carefully looked at Mrs. Godfrey and said, "She went over there..."
When the word "there" rang in Mrs. Godfrey's ears, her eyes suddenly turned cold. "Does she know Yvonne?"
