Chapter 28 Carefree Theodore's eyes darkened as he stared at Alastair. The boy's obsidian eyes were cold and distant; he did not act his age.

Everleigh was taken aback too.

Although Alastair was a boy of few words and he was cold, he was not rude. Even if he did not like what others gave him, he would thank them politely and receive it. Yet, Alastair was acting strange.

Fortunately, the waiter cover to serve sdishes and broke the awkward silence.

Everleigh glanced at Theodore; he did not seem to take it to heart. He was holding a paper towel and wiping the ice-cream off the corner of Adrienne's lips. Adrienne did not refuse and allowed Theodore to wipe her mouth. She blinked at him and asked, "Daddy, do you like fries?" "Not really." "You probably never tried the best way to eat them." "What is that?" "1 "Here," Adrienne chuckled mysteriously. She picked up a fry and poked it into the ice cream. She dipped sice-cream and held the fry to Theodore. She called excitedly, "Daddy." Everleigh's face stiffened and embarrassment coated her voice. "Adrienne." Theodore stared at the miniature of Everleigh. Adrienne was holding the fry that was dipped in ice-cream. She had an innocent and bright look on her face. Suddenly, everything overlapped with his memory from seven years ago. Adrienne's eyes were curved when she smiled. She resembled the young girl in his memory.

"Theodore, I have an exclusive formula for fries." "Dipping fries into ice-cream. You probably never tried it, right? I don't usually tell anyone about it." "Con, try it!" "Daddy?" A childish voice made Theodore cback to his senses.

Adrienne winked at him and urged, "Con, try it. It's delicious. ;I don't usually tell anyone about it." The gentleness faded from Theodore's eyes. "Adrienne, you should eat. I don't like sweet food." "Daddy, you didn't even try it. How do you know that it's not good? Why don't you try it?" Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on 05sfor uninterrupted enjoyment.

Stop it or you won't be having any more ice-cream after this." Not being able to eat ice-cream was undoubtedly a huge blow to Adrienne. Immediately, Everleigh's threat made Adrienne withdraw her hand reluctantly. She ate the fries and muttered, "Daddy, you must try it in the future." The little girl did not notice that Everleigh's face was stiff. Everleigh did not even have the courage to raise her head to look at Theodore.

Tcould heal a lot of things. However, whenever one recalled a minute detail, memories would tend to open up closed wounds. The pain was overwhelming and suffocating.

Children will never be able to eat in silence. After finishing the chicken wings and french fries, Adrienne ran to the children's play area to play with the slide. Alastair was worried about her, hence he followed her. Everleigh and Theodore were left and they were watching the children from their table.

Everleigh lowered her head to eat sfood. She wanted to finish eating as soon as possible and leave. "Why did you cback?" She heard Theodore's indifferent voice.

Everleigh looked up to stare at him. The man's composed eyes made her panic.

"I was transferred here." "Just work transfer?" "Yeah." "How long will you stay?" Theodore pressed on. Evidently, he was not going to let her off the hook.

Everleigh pondered for a moment and replied, "Six months or a year." "After that?"

"After that..." Everleigh's throat was a little dry. "I'll need to check with the harters Theodor Withi eyes darkened. He snorted, "I can see that you're still carefree." Just like seven years ago, she would return or leave whenever she wanted to.

Everleigh did not know what to reply, therefore she put downhẹccutlery the put quietly. "Seven years ago, did you leave because of the kids?"

Theodore eyed her coldly. His gaze was burning a hole in Everleigh. She clenched her fingers tightly. Her nails were pressed against her palms and she felt a sharp pain.
