Chapter 23 Be In Luck

Under the crowd's watchful eyes, Theodore helped Everleigh up.

Everleigh froze when his arm fell on her shoulder. She was at a loss as she stared at him. Yet, she only saw his cold side profile and she could not read his mind.

She did not understand why Theodore was with Alastair. She did not know what Theodore was trying to do.

Abraham frowned as he sized up the man and his eyes were wary.

"Uncle." A rare trace of respect replaced Theodore's usual haughty looks. He continued, "I'm sorry that I was late. I went to pick up my son. If I had known that there would be a misunderstanding, I would have come with Everleigh."

The crowd was bewildered and confused.

Everyone's eyes fell on Theodore.

Theodore nodded at Abraham before turning to the crowd. He stated indifferently, "Everleigh is a medical student, so she's very busy with her studies abroad. Therefore, we've been postponing our wedding. All of you have misunderstood Everleigh."

"You are?" Someone asked.
