Chapter 161 The Engagement Can be Canceled

When Everleigh came out, she happened to witness this scene and her expression changed directly. "Adrienne, are you alright?"

"Sob, sob, Mommy, it hurts." Adrienne threw herself into Everleigh's arms, and all her tears and snot rubbed over Everleigh's body. Adrienne reached out her little hands and sobbed pitifully. Adrienne's hands were stained with gravel and pebbles. There were abrasions and blood criss-crossed over her tender hands, which made one's heart ache. Everleigh's heart was also torn. "It's okay, it doesn't hurt. I'll blow on it for you. Let's go. I'll take you in to wash your hands."

"Stop," Josephine's voice stopped Everleigh's footsteps. "Why are you here?"

Everleigh, who was holding Adrienne, stood there for half a second with her back to Josephine. Then, she ignored her and continued to walk into the house.

"I asked you to stop," Josephine came up to her from behind and said angrily, "How dare you step into this house? You promised that you have broken up with Theodore and have nothing to do with him, but look at what you did. Now, you even brought your children here. Everleigh, aren't you ashamed?"

The harsh words were almost unbearable to hear, but Everleigh didn't have a free hand to cover Adrienne's ears.

"Everleigh, what on earth did you come here for?"

"What she came for has nothing to do with you." An indifferent male voice came from inside. It was sonorous and forceful in the ears of everyone in the yard. Josephine's heart trembled. "Theodore..."

Theodore was wearing a gray nightgown with only a knot securing it loosely around his waist. It was obvious that he wasn't dressed to meet guests, but rather, he wore his usual home outfit. Josephine stared blankly at him. "Y-You guys..."

Even though Everleigh wanted to explain, it was obvious that Theodore's injury was hidden from her. Moreover, Josephine was right. Her appearance here meant that she had ulterior motives.

Holding Adrienne in her arms, Everleigh and Theodore stood at the door side by side. The harmonious family of three glared into Josephine's eyes and her eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Theodore, I heard that you're not feeling well, so I especially came to see you. But when I entered the house, the two children let the dog out to bite me. I won't fuss with the children, but why didn't you ask me to come? I'm your fiancee!" Josephine's face changed faster than the sky. She was so fierce a second ago but she turned so weak now. If it wasn't for the child in her arms, Everleigh really wanted to give her a thumbs up.
