Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 137

"Live a good life?" Everleigh clenched her fists and asked through gritted teeth.

Although she knew better than anyone that Theodore did not know anything about what happened seven years ago and that he was kept in the dark the whole time, how could he so easily tell her to 'live a good life'?

As if she didn't want to live a good life?

If it was him who had experienced everything that happened on that rainy night seven years ago, could he merely treat that day as any other day, as if nothing had happened and live a good life?

Her eyes were slightly red and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with anger and pain. She looked at Theodore's eyes but he misunderstood her gaze.

After a long silence, he took out his cheque book and wrote ten million dollars for her.

"What is the meaning of this?" Everleigh's face changed but he did not catch it.

"Don't get me wrong. Take this as a congratulatory gift on your marriage." Theodore's voice was still low, but he didn't seem to have much strength. In fact, he even sounded self-deprecating. "I hope my mother did not cause too much harm to you back then."

No matter how good their friendship was, it would not amount to ten million dollars.

Although he said it was a congratulatory gift, it felt more like a compensation. In Theodore's eyes, he had to compensate Everleigh for the pain and suffering that she had to bear because of him.

Everleigh did not feel the slightest ripple in her heart when she looked at the cheque. She even thought with sarcasm that if she told him that not only was her family and studies affected, but also about the incident that rainy night, how much money should he compensate her?

What made her heart sink was not Theodore's self-righteous advice for her to let go of her past and live a good life, but the fact that he used the money to draw a sloppy end to their past.

She finally let go of the last bit of burden in her heart.

"Theodore, did you think that I returned to take revenge on the Godfrey family and on your mother?"

Theodore's eyes darkened.

Everleigh's tone was frighteningly calm. She raised her hand and took the cheque. "If your heart will be at ease after I accept your money, then I'll accept it."

Theodore's frown deepened. It was obvious that he did not like Everleigh's attitude at all.

However, Everleigh said with sarcasm, "It must be nice to be rich and settle things just like that with money. You should thank me for leaving at that time. The title of the young president of Godfrey Group suits you very well."

With that, Theodore's gaze turned completely cold. "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Of course I know. Isn't this what you wanted, to give me ten million dollars and send me away from those troublesome things in the past? Only then will you be able to get married to your fiancee without any worries."

Speaking of this, Everleigh paused for a moment. She looked at Theodore with a cold smile and gloomy eyes. "If you just want to live a good life for yourself, then you do not have to bless me so grandiosely. You'll only make me sick."

"Everleigh!" Theodore suddenly stood up. His eyes were cold and his clenched fists knocked on the table, making a muffled noise. Even the coffee cups on the table shook.

Everleigh, however, was indifferent. She tore the cheque for ten million dollars into pieces right in front of him and threw it into the air. The pieces of paper fell down like snowflakes.

Through the fluttering pieces of paper, Everleigh's expression was cold and sorrowful. "Theodore, you have made me feel like the five years that we were together was worth nothing, not even a single cent."
