Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 19

Adrienne was puzzled. "Alastair."

Alastair insisted, "I said no."

It was rare for Alastair to look so solemn. He was not only wary but he also seemed hostile to the man, which was unheard of for a kid his age.

"Thank you but we can get it on our own."

Upon finishing that, Alastair dragged her sister away and lectured her, "You can't accept anything from strangers. I've told you so many times but you never listen to me."

"But that uncle is so handsome. He's definitely a good guy."

"He's not handsome."

"No, he is!"

Theodore stood up and watched as the children walked away. He looked exceptionally cold in the rain. He handed the umbrella to the assistant behind him.

"Mr. Godfrey, the children..."

"Moses, follow them. Don't let anything happen to them."

"Yes, sir."

After Moses went after the kids, Theodore returned to the car. He rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.

The entrance to the apartment was just nearby and it was still raining.

However, it was just drizzling. Theodore and his driver were alone in the car. Throughout the silence, the mobile phone vibrated several times.

"Mr. Godfrey," the driver reminded carefully, "Miss Bailey called a few times."

Theodore was lost in thought as he stared out of the window. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He saw the children in the pharmacy. The girl resembled Everleigh. She was a chip straight off the old block.

Meanwhile, Theodore felt that the boy looked like him.

Theodore waited near the apartment for Moses to return. After a while, Adrienne darted into view. Alastair followed his sister closely and they both entered the apartment.

Moses reported, "Mr. Godfrey, the kids are quite smart. They told the cashier that they didn't have a father. They went on about how it was not easy for their single mother to take care of them. The little girl even cried."
