Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 198

After finishing the soup, Everleigh took out the tissue and slowly wiped the corners of her mouth. When she raised her head, her eyes were calm. She looked at Theodore, who was sitting across from her and said, "I've finished eating. Why didn't you eat anything?"

The plate in front of Theodore was still clean. It was just a symbolic gesture when he offered to eat with her; he didn't even drink much water.

"I'm not hungry. I don't eat much either."

"You have to eat three meals a day." Thinking of his stomach problems, the doctor in Everleigh came out. She habitually said, "Don't have coffee for breakfast, and just eat oatmeal. You can also have some cereal. It's better to have food around you. It's bad to have an empty stomach for a long time. Besides, you have to eat your medicine on time."

After talking for a while, Everleigh finally realized that Theodore had been staring at her. She stopped all of a sudden and swallowed her words back. "Umm... Occupational habit."

Theodore's expression didn't change. "Mm," he said. "When you treat me like a patient, you become more natural."

Everleigh was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to refute.

This was indeed the case. She treated her patients more naturally than she treated Theodore, and when she treated him as a patient, she felt much more relaxed.

After all, it had been seven years. Even for relatives, if they didn't meet or been in contact with each other for seven years, it would be awkward and strange when they saw each other again. What was more, they were former lovers. If there were no misunderstandings between them, they wouldn't have lost contact.

"Waiter, bill please," Theodore's voice brought her back from her thoughts.

On the way home, the neon lights outside the car windows quickly disappeared, along with the bustling nightlife in Ocpeace City and the fading scenes of the past seven years.

Theodore didn't say a word, and Everleigh didn't know how to break the silence. Several times, when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she swallowed them and gave up.

It didn't matter if it was an awkward silence or embarrassment. Anyway, they would be strangers when she got out of the car at the destination.

From Everleigh's point of view, Theodore's silence probably showed that he had silently agreed to the choice to be strangers. As expected, he had always been a proud and arrogant person.

When they were crossing the bridge, they could see the endless river outside the window. It was so vast that it made one feel small, like a drop of water in the ocean.

Soothing cello music played in the car, but neither could name the song. However, it inexplicably matched the atmosphere. Music could calm one's heart and relieve everything.

"You don't need to go in. Just park over there." When the car arrived around the neighborhood, Everleigh straightened up and pointed at the intersection ahead.

Theodore pulled over to the side.

"Thank you." Everleigh unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car with her bag.

"Everleigh." The cold voice reverberated in the car, calling out to her as she opened the car door. She turned around and met Theodore's gaze. It was so deep that she couldn't see through it.

Theodore said, "Ordinary friends don't need to say thank you so politely, right?"

Everleigh was stunned and looked at the man in astonishment.

"It's getting late. You should go back."

When the cold and indifferent words came out, there wasn't a hint of emotion. That pair of eyes rendered Everleigh fearful to take another look, as it would make her feel guilty if she did so.

After she came back to her senses, she hurriedly responded, "Okay, drive safe. I'll leave now."

After closing the door, Everleigh hurried into the community, not even daring to look back.

Listening to the sound of the engine behind her gradually disappear, she slowed down a little. She had a lot of things on her mind and she was in a complicated mood.

She didn't expect Theodore to give in so easily. He was such a proud person. Even when he left the Godfrey family back then, he didn't lower his head to anyone. He wasn't devoted to anything, and yet he gave in so easily.
