Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 164

"How much do you wish for Josephine and I to successfully get married?"

Without waiting for Everleigh's reply, Theodore suddenly asked such a question.

Everleigh looked up and met his aggressive glare.

Under such a glare, she could only pretend to be calm and said, "This has nothing to do with what I wish. I just don't want anything to happen to your life because of me."

"Is that so?" Theodore was obviously doubtful of the sincerity behind her words. "But I've already promised Adrienne."

Everleigh was stunned. "What did you promise her?"

There was a moment of silence.

Although it was only a moment, even less than two seconds, it made one feel suffocated, as if time had stopped at this moment. It felt like a million years had passed.

Theodore didn't answer Everleigh's question. Instead, he asked, "The biggest difference between children and adults is that children can state their own desires and needs directly, but adults like to beat around the bush."

Everleigh felt guilty under his gaze. "I don't understand what you mean."

Ever since he heard the phrase 'You have your own life', Theodore's face was filled with a hint of sullenness. He had always been a person who knew how to hide his emotions, but in front of Everleigh, he often didn't have the self-control to do so.

Indeed, things had changed a lot in seven years. However, when they got in touch with each other, there were so many concealments between them and they always beat around the bush. This made Theodore become impatient these days.

From the corner of Theodore's eyes, he glanced in the direction of the living room. The two children were busy playing with Ace. They didn't notice their conversation at all.

"Your marriage with Christopher is a marriage of convenience, isn't it?"

Everleigh's expression changed.

How did he find out?

Seeing the change in her expression, Theodore was even more convinced that his guess was correct. "That's why Christopher and you never admitted your relationship, and no one in the Trevino family knows that you're married."

Everleigh's hand, which was holding her spoon, was a little stiff, but she still denied it, "Theodore, you need to take responsibility for your words."

"Fine, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Then, don't tell me you don't know about Christopher flirting with women. I heard that he dumped a nurse in the hospital and she even went to you to cry and complain?"

Theodore's expression was calm, and his suppressed tone was filled with an unexplainable anger. "When did you start to have such a good temper? Or did you think that it's interesting to have an open marriage after a few years abroad?"

Upon hearing this, Everleigh finally understood why Theodore had suddenly said that she was in a 'marriage of convenience'.

Instead of suspecting that she and Christopher were in a marriage of convenience, it was better to say that he suspected that their marriage existed in name only. He probably thought that she and Christopher had already broken up and they were already on their own.

"This has nothing to do with you." Everleigh looked at him and put down the spoon in her hand. She breathed a sigh of relief and also regained her calm and reasoning. "What does it have to do with you whether I am in a marriage of convenience or not?"

"It doesn't have anything to do with me? Then, that night didn't matter either?"

As soon as he mentioned that night, Everleigh's temples began to throb.

"You can get divorced."

Hearing this, Everleigh looked at Theodore in astonishment.

Theodore's expression didn't change. "If you get divorced..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a burst of rapid and sharp braking sounds interrupted his voice from outside the villa. Under the quiet night, the sound of the brakes was very harsh. Everleigh and Theodore frowned and looked outside at the same time.
