Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 178

At night, Everleigh got off work and went home late. The nanny had already taken the two children back from school. When Everleigh arrived home, only a servant in her house, Martha Allen, was cleaning up the kitchen.

"Miss, are you off work? Have you had dinner? There's a ready-made dish in the fridge. I'll make you a plate of it."

"No, thanks. I've already eaten." Everleigh changed into slippers and asked, "Where are the two children?"

Martha looked up and said, "They're upstairs. I don't know what happened at school today. I noticed that Alastair and Adrienne were not very happy, especially Adrienne. She went upstairs after eating a few bites of dinner, and didn't even watch cartoons."

Hearing this, Everleigh frowned and was a little worried.

After the sports day was ruined, Yvonne and her went to the police station to make a report. It was not convenient to take the children away. However, when they left in a hurry, she did not have time to say anything to them. They were probably frightened.

"It's okay, I'll go and see them," Everleigh forced a smile at Martha and said, "Martha, sorry to trouble you. You can get off work first. I'll clean up later."

"Okay, alright."

In the bedroom on the second floor, when Everleigh knocked on the door and went in, Adrienne was lying on the bed with her little bunny doll in her arms, and the blanket was neatly covered over her body. It seemed that she had already fallen asleep.

Alastair was sitting on the carpet and playing with his computer. When he saw Everleigh come in, he looked up and said, "Mommy, are you off work?"

"Yes." Everleigh nodded and asked, "Is Adrienne asleep?"

Alastair shook his head gently.

Everleigh nodded knowingly and sat down on the edge of the bed helplessly.

In fact, as soon as she came in, she knew that Adrienne was pretending to be asleep. Adrienne usually kicked off her blanket more than ten times in a night if she was sleeping. If she really fell asleep, she would not be as calm as she was now.

"Adrienne." Everleigh gently patted Adrienne's shoulder through the blanket. "Martha said that you didn't eat much for dinner. Aren't you hungry? I bought a cake on my way back."

The small round face with it's chin covered by the blanket tightened suddenly, and she also pursed her small mouth.

Faced with delicious food, Adrienne usually had no resistance. At this time, she used all her strength to stop herself from opening her eyes. Even Everleigh could feel her conflict through the blanket.

"And I bought ice cream of a new flavor. It's raspberry and it's delicious."

"Gulp." The sound of swallowing was particularly clear in the quiet room.

Everleigh pursed her lips and smiled. Pretending that she didn't hear anything, she turned to Alastair and said, "Alastair, since Adrienne is asleep, you can go downstairs and eat it with me. There was only one raspberry-flavored ice cream left in the shop."

After saying this, Everleigh got up from the bed.

The flesh on Adrienne's little pink face was almost scrunched tightly into a ball.

"Alas." Everleigh sighed. "Unfortunately, the cake won't last. We can only eat it today, so we can't leave a piece for Adrienne. It's even her favorite strawberry cake." "Alastair, let's go down and eat."

"No way!" An exclamation came from the bed. Adrienne suddenly got up with an anxious look on her face.

Everleigh stood by the door with her arms crossed and joked, "Adrienne, you weren't asleep?"

Adrienne looked at her brother, who was still sitting on the carpet without moving, and then looked at the smug smile on her mother's face. All of a sudden, Adrienne knew that she had been tricked. She said angrily, "Mommy, you're lying!"

Everleigh raised her eyebrows and said unwillingly, "Adrienne, you lied first. Obviously, you weren't asleep, but you pretended to be."

"No, I didn't!" Adrienne's cheeks bulged like two balloons. Her beautiful big eyes were wide open and she said stubbornly, "I was asleep. Mommy, you woke me up!"

"I see." Everleigh went on without exposing the truth. "Did I blame you for the wrong thing?"
