Missha also joined them to dance. The three women waved the sparklers around while the men stood at one side and laughed.
Theodore showed a rare smile that revealed a few of his teeth. His eyes were filled with love. It seemed like it had been a long time since he had seen Everleigh smile like this.
He had almost forgotten about how they had gotten through these past few years.
The happiness would dilute the painful memories. They did not feel like this before, but the feeling was getting stronger now.
The new year had begun, so they decided to visit some relatives. Everleigh, Theodore and Xavier went to visit Helen. They did not visit her before this, so they decided not to delay it further.
She was overjoyed to see them visit her with the children.
"Bring the gifts for the two children quickly," she quickly instructed.
"Great- Grandma, Happy New Year." Adrienne's mouth was sweet as usual. Every word she said made Helen grin from ear to ear.
"Happy New Year. Come, this is for the both of you."
Alastair and Adrienne took the gifts and said, "Thank you, Great- Grandma." Then, they hugged her.
Helen did not refuse. She enjoyed hugging the two children.
"Grandma, Happy New Year." Theodore and Xavier spoke at the same time.
Everleigh quickly greeted her as well.
"Alright, alright. Come here. There are presents for everyone." Naturally, Helen had already prepared one for all of them.
"It's the new year. Alastair and Adrienne, both of you have grown a lot. Remember to visit me more often in the future. Can you do that?" Helen also doted on the two children very much.
Naturally, she hoped to see them more.
"Okay, Great- Grandma. You should prepare delicious food and ice cream."
"I've prepared everything. If you want to eat anything, just say it." Helen would naturally prepare something delicious.
Xavier was sitting in a wheelchair. When Helen saw the dim light in his eyes, she felt guilty towards this grandson of hers.
"Xavier, come visit whenever you're free. It's boring when I'm alone at home."
His body trembled slightly. After that, he felt relieved as he said, "Okay, I know."
The few of them stayed for a meal. Throughout the entire morning, the smile on Helen's face never disappeared for a single moment.
In the afternoon, Cecil sent a message to Everleigh saying that she had gone to visit the Jenkins family.
Everleigh told her that the members of the Jenkins family would definitely welcome her warmly.
Cecil did, in fact, receive a warm welcome. The moment she entered the house, she was treated so nicely to the point that it made her feel embarrassed.
At this time, in a villa in Lanado City, a woman in a dark blue dress was sitting in front of the mirror. She could not stop touching her own face.
Her eyes were filled with excitement.
"You can leave now. This is your new identity."
"Can I really leave?" The woman sitting in front of the mirror turned around with a new ID card in her hands. Her eyes were filled with a hopeful light.
"Yes, you can leave now," the doctor said expressionlessly.
When she walked out of the gate of the villa with her new identity, tears rolled down her face. She could not remember how long it had been since she last walked out of here.
She could not imagine how she had survived over the past few months.
A portion of her liver had been taken away and her face had been altered.
She was now living with a completely different status, so she did not know whether she should be happy or sad.
Diana raised her head and looked at the bank card and identification card in her hand. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She received a second chance in life and was determined not to have any regrets.
The following days were peaceful once again. The only thing that Everleigh was worried about was Wilson's whereabouts.
Theodore was actually worried as well. The more peaceful it was, the more worried he was.
However, both of them did not speak up.
It was not until one day that something felt wrong.
It was Thaud. After returning from a party, he sat on the sofa in silence.
When Cecil went downstairs, she asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Cecil, I discovered something," he hesitated for a moment before he finally spoke.
Her interest was piqued. She walked over and sat down beside him. "Tell me, what's going on?"
It happened the night before. Thaud was at a party with a few friends. His good friend, Fulton Martell, attended the party with a woman.
At first, he did not pay much attention. However, after hearing her speak, he felt that the woman was a bit like Diana.
"Fulton, when did you meet this girlfriend of yours?" Thaud couldn't help but ask.
"I was dealing with some work abroad when I met her. At that time, she was helping an old woman to pick up garbage," Fulton said with a smile in his eyes, mainly because he thought that very few girls would do such a thing nowadays.
Thaud did not say anything but looked at his girlfriend instead.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Emma Dawson, and you are?" Emma turned around and asked in confusion.
"Thaud, Thaud Hayes."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Hayes." Emma nodded with a smile.
Thaud smirked and stopped looking at her. He chatted with the other guests. When he turned around, he did not notice the emotions in Emma's eyes.
Fulton did not think much about it. Instead, he just took care of his girlfriend and gave her all the good things.
When they were having a meal, Thaud noticed Emma's actions. She had the same habit as Diana. She would habitually touch her necklace.
It was a suspicious movement.
Cecil listened to Thaud's words and was also lost in thought. In fact, it was a possibility that Diana had left this place. Could the reason why she had not been found was because she underwent plastic surgery?
"Are you going to investigate?"
"No, I can't suspect her just because of this action. It's unreasonable. Even if I told someone else, no one would be willing to believe it." Thaud was a lawyer after all. There were things that he should not be doing.
"Then, why are you telling me this?"
"I’m just analyzing it with you. Since Lenold isn't at home, we should not tell Mom and Dad. It will only cause trouble for them," he analyzed carefully.
Cecil thought about it for a while. His words sounded reasonable.
That was why...
"Are you going to investigate it or not?"C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
"Yes, I will. I'd rather take the risk than leave it to chance." At this point, his hatred for Diana had reached the extreme.
He would not let her go that easily.
She nodded. "Then, go ahead and do it. I believe you will succeed." After saying that, she got up and left.
He looked at her and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to visit the Jenkins family. There's a gathering today."
"What they say is true. Once a woman gets married, they are out of the house. The only problem is that you're already acting like this even before getting married."
"I'm just trying to keep in touch with them. You'll know what it's like when you get a girlfriend. You'll understand by then." After saying that, she walked out.
He smiled, shook his head, and did not say a word. He took out his mobile phone and started to investigate who Emma was.
