Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 163

"Why not?"

Even though Theodore knew it was a little childish to talk about marriage with a child, he still couldn't help but ask her. He wanted to know Adrienne's reasoning.

"I don't like the lady just now." Adrienne blinked her eyes with an innocent look on her face. "And if you marry her, you will have your own children in the future and there will be others who will call you Daddy."

Theodore was speechless.

"Except Alastair and I, I don't want to share my Daddy with other people."

Adrienne's eyes were innocent and firm. She didn't understand the relationship between these adults at all, nor did she know of any emotional entanglements. She didn't even know that a fiancee meant they were already engaged and they would marry if nothing went wrong.

She only spoke her mind very straightforwardly.

She didn't like Josephine, and she didn't like sharing her Daddy with other people.

However, Theodore was stunned for a moment. He looked at the innocent little girl in front of him and thought about what she had just said seriously.

Although it was childish, it was also very reasonable.

After a long while, Theodore said, "Then I promise you that other than you, there won't be any other children who will share your Daddy with you."

Adrienne's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Really." Theodore nodded seriously, as if he was serious about a project fund of over a hundred million dollars.

"Then let's pinky swear."

"Pinky swear?"

"Like this." Adrienne climbed down from the sofa, grabbed Theodore's hand and then used her little finger to hook around Theodore's little finger. "The promise of a pinky swear stands for a hundred years. Whoever breaks it will become a little tortoise. Deal."

When their thumbs were pressed together, Adrienne's expression was particularly dignified, as if it was an extremely important ceremony for her, more important than any paper contract.

"It's okay now. You can't break your promise." "Okay, I won't break my promise. Adrienne, eat the ice cream."

Only then was Adrienne happy. "Daddy, you are the best."

Looking at the content expression of the little girl who was eating ice cream, Theodore's lips curled up into a smile as he looked out of the window.

It was completely dark outside, and the lights were on in the yard. Everleigh sat on the stool with Alastair and waited for more than ten minutes. Finally, the veterinarian came.

"It's fine, it's just a slight fracture in the neck. It's a small injury for a dog. He just needs to wear the fixer for a month, then he'll be alright."

The veterinarian spoke gently and put the pet's fracture brace on Ace.

Ace, who just had a brace put on him, was still not used to it and he let out a cry of dissatisfaction.

"Alastair," Everleigh looked at Alastair who was beside her and said, "Did you hear what the doctor said? Ace will be fine."

Alastair nodded and said obediently, "Thank you, Doctor."

"You're welcome." The doctor packed up his medical kit and said to Theodore, "Mr. Godfrey, I'll take my leave if there's nothing else. If there's anything else you and your wife need, please contact me at any time."

Hearing the word "wife", Everleigh's face froze. She was about to explain to the veterinarian, but Theodore interrupted her by calling Joanne.

"Joanne, see Dr. Jenkins off."
