Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 101

Among the people present, only Felicia and Vanessa were kept in the dark.

They didn't notice the tension between Theodore and Everleigh. Both of them were calm and rational people. No matter what their true emotions were, they could at least remain calm on the surface.

However, Christopher had known Everleigh for seven years. He even knew her better than Everleigh herself. He could accurately tell her feelings judging from her frown and the dimness in her eyes.

When he saw Josephine in the banquet hall, he guessed that it was very likely that Theodore would be there as well. That was why he had intentionally tried to strike up a conversation with Josephine. It was also within his expectations for the current situation to come to such a standstill.

Christopher naturally put his hand on Everleigh's shoulder, as if he had done it countless times, still putting on his playful face. "Mr. Godfrey's wedding should be first. I heard from Everleigh that they have invited her verbally. Now, it's a perfect time. When you send the invitations, I will surely come with Everleigh to congratulate you."

Theodore's fist creaked as his skin rubbed against his flesh. Luckily, it was covered up by the music from the violin. However, his expression was still as cold and indifferent as ever.

Josephine noticed that something was wrong and she quickly took over the conversation. "Everleigh never mentioned her marriage to me. I didn't expect it to be to you, Mr. Meyer. We'll definitely come together to attend the wedding."

She wanted to show her generosity, but she didn't expect Theodore to glance at her coldly after she spoke. It was as if he was blaming her for saying too much. In an instant, she shivered.

On the other hand, Everleigh was a truly graceful young lady.

As they were talking, a clear and soft voice came from a distance. "Daddy!"

Adrienne wore a collared dress; her hair was tied up in a ponytail with a big red butterfly band. She squeezed through the gaps in the crowd, followed by Alastair, who was asking her to slow down.

Everleigh was taken aback and immediately clenched her fists nervously.

At this moment, Adrienne emerged from the crowd and stood between Theodore and Everleigh.

Hearing Adrienne's voice, Theodore's clenched fists involuntarily relaxed. No one knew better than him who Adrienne was calling.

But in the next second, Adrienne ran straight to Christopher. She threw herself into Christopher's arms and was picked up by him. She sat in the crook of his arms, beaming brightly.

Followed by the servants of the Meyer family and Alastair, the servants seemed to be exhausted. They waved their hands and gasped, "Miss Adrienne, please stop running."

"We must run if we're playing hide-and-seek!" Adrienne giggled and looked at the servants who had caught up with her. Obviously, she had fooled them mischievously.

"You are a naughty girl," Christopher pinched her nose.

In less than half a second, Adrienne said to Vanessa coquettishly, "Grandma, it hurts!"

Adrienne was Vanessa's favorite. Seeing this, she glared at Christopher. If Theodore and Josephine hadn't been present at the scene, she would have kicked him in the face.

"Let go of the child! Her nose has been pinched crooked by you."

"It's not that easy to be crooked," Christopher huffed.

Adrienne snuggled in Christopher's embrace for a long while before turning around, looking at Theodore on the other side. A look of surprise appeared in her black eyes. "Theodore?"

As her voice fell on Theodore's eardrums, he felt a sharp pain instantly.

Although the results of the paternity test had clearly told him that the two children brought back from abroad by Everleigh had no blood relationship with him, when he heard the word "Theodore", his heart felt hollow.

Christopher put Adrienne down from his arms and patted her on the shoulder like a real father. "Say hello to Theodore properly."
