Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 187

"Hey, who's this big enemy of yours that you would throw a cake at him when you meet?" Leon spread out his hands. His white suit was full of cream, and the expression on his face was extremely funny.

Cecil's expression did not change. "An annoying man who looks very much like you."

"Looks like me, you mean..."

"Umm, Leon," Everleigh quickly interrupted him and said, "Do you want to clean up a bit first?"

Fortunately, this was a blind spot of the banquet hall. There were no guests around and no one saw what was going on. Otherwise, it would definitely attract the attention of the crowd.

Looking down at his own messy body, Leon was very angry. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but when he was about to say it, he was forced back by Cecil's indifferent expression. In the end, he went to the lounge to change his clothes in disgrace.

As soon as he left, Cecil said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

She didn't even bother saying anything to Theodore before heading in the direction of Leon's departure.

"Nothing will happen, right?" Everleigh looked at Cecil's figure and felt a little worried.

"No, Leon is very tolerant towards women."

A man's cold voice came from her side, pulling back Everleigh's thoughts. She turned her head and looked at Theodore and said awkwardly, "I was worried about Leon..."

As for Leon's fragile little body, if they were to really fight, he would not be able to hold on for even three seconds against Cecil's attack.

Theodore didn't care about Leon's safety at all. He changed the subject and asked, "Did anything happen just now?"

Just now?

Everleigh was stunned for a moment, before realizing that Theodore was probably asking her about the trouble between Mrs. Godfrey and Josephine. She said with a hint of selfmockery, "You should ask your mother and fiancee about this."

Upon hearing the word "fiancee", Theodore frowned slightly. He was about to say something, but he was interrupted by the sound of someone calling him from afar.

Josephine was dressed in a pink dress as she walked over gracefully. "Theodore, Grandma is here. Madam is urging us to go over and wish Grandma for her birthday."

"Got it."

"Theodore, it's not good to let Grandma and the others wait for you for too long. Granduncle and the others took the time to rush over. They have to catch a plane later."

The guests attending the banquet that day were all from the Godfrey family. Amongst them were a few highly respected elders of the family. Theodore hadn't even greeted them when he and Leon came straight over.

Seeing Theodore's obviously impatient expression, Josephine looked at Everleigh, who was behind him, and pretended to be magnanimous. "Why not have Everleigh come with us? I heard that Grandma likes you quite a bit."

"No need," Everleigh refused without thinking.

"I have something else to do."

After saying that, she pretended to leave and was ready to go and find Cecil.

"Everleigh," Theodore's cold and forceful voice came from behind, "Stay here and don't go anywhere. I have something to discuss with you later."

However, Everleigh's eyes fell on her hands.

At that moment, Theodore held her wrist. In front of Josephine, he didn't try to hide anything.

In that moment, her mind was in a state of chaos. Subconsciously, she wanted to break free, but Theodore's strength was too great. He didn't seem to be using much force, but his grip on her wrist was very tight.
