Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 180

When Everleigh came out of the kitchen with the plate in her hand, she saw that the floor of the living room was piled up with colorful Lego blocks. Alastair and Adrienne were sitting on the ground building with them.

"Alastair, this one is for this area, isn't it?"

"No, it's that one."

"I think it's more or less the same. Alastair, just put it here."

Not only was Adrienne unable to help, but she was also making trouble. After a while, she turned around and waited for Theodore to scoop up a spoonful of ice cream and send it to her mouth, feeling very comfortable.

This girl, didn't she pretend to be hostile towards Theodore just now? He bought her over with a tub of ice cream just like that. She was just like a fence-sitter. How bad would she be when she grew up?

Seeing Everleigh come out, Theodore immediately put down the spoon. He got up from the sofa and walked over.

"I remember that you didn't know how to cook."

Everleigh put the food on the table and said, "Chicken sandwiches. It was made by the servant. Eat it first. I'll go and get you some medicine."

"It's okay because it's much better now. Don't worry," Theodore called out to her. "I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"Sit down and let's talk."

When Everleigh saw Theodore pull out a chair for her, she didn't sit down. Instead, she pulled out another chair and sat down at the end of the table, far away from him.

After sitting down, Theodore took out a white envelope.

"What is this?"

Everleigh frowned. Following Theodore's hint, she took out a check from the envelope. She was stunned for a moment and didn't know what was going on.

"Grandma wants to give this to Yvonne. I would like to trouble you to help me pass it to her."

Everleigh frowned. "Why me?"

It was not a problem for her to pass it to Yvonne, but the problem was that she was not a member of the Godfrey family. Given her status, how could she help deliver the compensation?

"Yvonne is probably still angry. You are her family doctor. She trusts you more than she trusts me."

Theodore explained his reasoning in a concise manner. At first glance, it sounded quite reasonable. However, after thinking about it carefully, Everleigh felt that something wasn't right, but she didn't know what was wrong with it.

She was going to meet Yvonne the next day and she was the one who caused the trouble in the first place. It was natural for her to solve the problem.

Thinking of this, she agreed.

It was already very late when Theodore finished eating the sandwiches. Before he left, Adrienne was holding Ace in her arms and didn't want to let go.

Theodore said, "Why don't I let Ace stay here for a few days?"

"No, I don't have time to take care of him. You'd better take him back," Everleigh refused without hesitation.

Hearing this, Adrienne immediately opened her arms and stood in front of Ace like an eagle protecting its babies. "I can take care of him. Alastair and I can take care of Ace. We will never let him pee everywhere!"

"Adrienne!"

Everleigh wanted to say something, but the sound of a car's engine came from outside the courtyard. Theodore's car had arrived.

Theodore said, "I'll come pick him up in a few days."

After saying that, he went straight out to the courtyard, leaving no chance for Everleigh to refuse.

"Ah!"

She wanted to stop Theodore, but Adrienne had already happily entered the house with the dog. Everleigh had no time to care about anything else, so she hurried back to the house.

"Adrienne, stop right there. Don't bring the dog upstairs!"

Inside the car, Theodore looked out of the window at the warm yellow light in the house. The warmth lingered on his thin and cold face for a long time. After a long while, he instructed the driver, "Let's go."
