Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 161

When Everleigh came out, she happened to witness this scene and her expression changed directly.

"Adrienne, are you alright?"

"Sob, sob, Mommy, it hurts." Adrienne threw herself into Everleigh's arms, and all her tears and snot rubbed over Everleigh's body. Adrienne reached out her little hands and sobbed pitifully.

Adrienne's hands were stained with gravel and pebbles. There were abrasions and blood criss-crossed over her tender hands, which made one's heart ache. Everleigh's heart was also torn.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt. I'll blow on it for you. Let's go. I'll take you in to wash your hands."

"Stop," Josephine's voice stopped Everleigh's footsteps. "Why are you here?"

Everleigh, who was holding Adrienne, stood there for half a second with her back to Josephine. Then, she ignored her and continued to walk into the house.

"I asked you to stop," Josephine came up to her from behind and said angrily, "How dare you step into this house? You promised that you have broken up with Theodore and have nothing to do with him, but look at what you did. Now, you even brought your children here. Everleigh, aren't you ashamed?"

The harsh words were almost unbearable to hear, but Everleigh didn't have a free hand to cover Adrienne's ears.

"Everleigh, what on earth did you come here for?"

"What she came for has nothing to do with you." An indifferent male voice came from inside. It was sonorous and forceful in the ears of everyone in the yard.

Josephine's heart trembled. "Theodore..."

Theodore was wearing a gray nightgown with only a knot securing it loosely around his waist. It was obvious that he wasn't dressed to meet guests, but rather, he wore his usual home outfit.

Josephine stared blankly at him. "Y- You guys..."

Even though Everleigh wanted to explain, it was obvious that Theodore's injury was hidden from her. Moreover, Josephine was right. Her appearance here meant that she had ulterior motives.

Holding Adrienne in her arms, Everleigh and Theodore stood at the door side by side. The harmonious family of three glared into Josephine's eyes and her eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Theodore, I heard that you're not feeling well, so I especially came to see you. But when I entered the house, the two children let the dog out to bite me. I won't fuss with the children, but why didn't you ask me to come? I'm your fiancee!"

Josephine's face changed faster than the sky. She was so fierce a second ago but she turned so weak now. If it wasn't for the child in her arms, Everleigh really wanted to give her a thumbs up.

"Who did you say let the dog out to bite you?" Everleigh couldn't let the two children take the blame for nothing.

"Who else could it be?" Josephine's tone became firm. When her gaze landed on Theodore's cold face, she immediately became weak again. "Theodore, you saw this dog as well. You know that I'm afraid of dogs."

"Yes, I can testify to that. This dog rushed towards Miss Josephine first," Josephine's bodyguard said on her behalf. "Miss Josephine really didn't do anything."

Theodore's eyes darkened.

At this time, Adrienne leaned in Everleigh's arms and sobbed. She was most afraid of pain. When she was injured and sick, she was like a different person. She did not like to talk and would only cry non-stop. Even if she was blamed, she would not defend herself.

"Let's bring the child in to deal with the wound first," Theodore said as he extended his hand towards Everleigh. "I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Everleigh leaned to one side and avoided his hand. She went straight into the house with the child in her arms and did not even look back.

Sometimes the truth was not important. Just like now; she saw with her own eyes that it was Josephine who pushed Adrienne, but she didn't intend to say anything more to Theodore.

Josephine was right. She was his fiancee, and they were the ones who should be together.
