"Thank you."
Although Everleigh thanked Theodore, he had no intention of letting her go. Everleigh gritted her teeth and struggled, but a cold voice rang her ears. "There are so many people here. Are you planning to give yourself a good slap in the face? You're going to tell everyone that I'm not your fiance?"
She froze and stopped resisting.
Gossip was a terrible thing. It was detrimental when it came from her relatives and friends. Earlier, she felt like a century had passed, and she never wanted to experience it again.
After a long stalemate, Theodore let go of her.
Everleigh was taken aback. After a while, she whispered, "Thank you."
"You're not planning to explain about the kids?"
Everleigh's heart skipped a beat. She forced herself to sound calm. "Explain what?"
Theodore's eyes studied her and replied word by word, "Alastair said that I'm his father."
Everleigh's pupils suddenly contracted and she took a step back.
