Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 116

Christopher's aloof "no" caused tension between both men.

They were very different, but both could turn heads when they walked on the street.

Christopher was an approachable and gentle doctor. Many fell for his alluring eyes. Theodore was distant and icy and his dark eyes were filled with the charm of a mature man. Women were most attracted to men with a back story.

Right then, Everleigh was caught in between. She frowned slightly and subconsciously moved half a step towards Christopher.

Christopher and Everleigh had known each other for years. Christopher came back mostly for her sake. He protected her as if she was family and she knew this better than anyone else. The only thing she could do was not let him down.

"What's the matter? Just give it to me straight. Christopher can listen to whatever I'm listening to."

There was nothing more deadly than what she said - telling her old flame that she trusted her new love fully.

Theodore's face had no response but the veins on his neck were bulging. He remained silent for a long time before closing the door behind him.

"Okay, if he wants to listen, let him listen. Everleigh, I want you to tell me the truth."

A period of time had passed since the Meyer family's banquet, but he had all the information from Moses' investigation in his mind. For the first time, he hated how good his memory was as he remembered every word and punctuation clearly.

Everleigh asked in reply, "What truth?"

Even though Christopher was still sitting on the chair next to him with no intention of leaving, Theodore couldn't be bothered. There were some things that he had to ask.

"Did you suddenly go overseas to study seven years ago because you were pregnant?"

"Yes," Everleigh admitted.

This wasn't the first time Theodore asked her this question. She had to face the truth from the past and the truth had everything to do with Theodore. Hence, she did not need to hide anything from him.

The reality was, if she knew the incident that night was related to the Godfrey family before she went abroad seven years ago, she wouldn't have chosen to hide it from Theodore.

However, things were different. At this point, Theodore was no longer going through everything with her. He was already someone else's fiance and that woman was the one who harmed her at that time.

Theodore expected this response, but when Everleigh confirmed it, he secretly clenched his fists. "Who is the father of the child?'

This was the root of the problem.

Theodore was bothered by whether Everleigh cheated on him for so many years. If she cheated on him, who did she cheat on him with?

During the five years of their relationship, even when they were not in the same department, they were inseparable except for class. Hence, he never believed it when Everleigh said it was Stanley.

"It's my business and has nothing to do with you." Everleigh looked him straight in the eye. That look could make someone angry. "It's a personal matter. Whether for the sake of my children or my husband's family, I can't tell you."

The words "my husband" were like steel nails, fiercely stabbing into Theodore's eardrums. It was as if the nails were penetrating his heart through his ears.

Everleigh asked as she saw how silent Theodore was, "Are you done with your questions? If you're done, I still have matters to attend to."

As she spoke, she grabbed Christopher's arm. His wound had not been tended to fully, and the waterproof bandaid wasn't put on properly. Hence, Everleigh had to take it off and reapply it.
