Chapter 240 Despair

"Christopher..."

Everleigh carefully called his name when she saw that he seemed to be in a trance.

Then, he came to his senses and avoided her gaze. "Nothing. Who told you that nonsense? What could have happened to me?"

That didn't sound right at all.

Everleigh had known him for seven years, and the relationship between them was even closer than that between family members. She could guess what he was feeling from his actions and gaze. There must be something that occurred eight years ago that Christopher refused to tell her about.

Just as she was about to ask more questions, the sound of an engine came from behind.

Everleigh and Christopher both looked back and saw the black car parked behind Christopher's car. A tall figure came down. He was tall and thin, and his face was as expressionless as the cliff behind them. Then, Everleigh's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"I can't believe you've followed me all the way here. You're quite capable indeed." Christopher's voice came from beside her.

The reason he brought Everleigh out that day was to relieve stress, and the other reason was that he wanted to hide her from Theodore. The previous day, Everleigh said that she would tell Theodore everything on an impulse, but there was a better way to solve the situation.

He didn't expect Theodore to follow him on his own.

"I'll talk to him..."

"I'll go." She grabbed Christopher and looked at him calmly. However, this calmness made him panic.

No one had ever been able to stop Everleigh from doing the things she wanted to do, or saying the things she wanted to say.

It was past noon, and the hottest hours of the day were over. Hence, the mountain breeze made all of them feel rather chilly.
