Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 216

Deep in the night, Theodore raised his head to look at the figure on the sofa. He didn't know when she had fallen asleep. Her head was tilted to one side and it was clear that she was in a very uncomfortable sleeping position, but she seemed to be sleeping very soundly.

He gazed at her for a long time before he closed the book and put it on the bed frame. Then, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

He picked up the person on the sofa and he was very gentle with her, for fear of waking her up.

"Hm?" A soft mumble could be heard.

Theodore's movements paused for a moment. He thought she had woken up, but she merely snorted and turned over in his embrace before she stopped moving once more.

After putting her on the bed and tucking her in, Theodore sat down on the sofa where she had just sat. There was still the warmth of her body on the sofa. To him, this kind of temperature was even more comfortable than the blankets. It made him feel as if he didn't want to move.

The book on the bed frame was an old one, worn from many years of reading.

Judging from Everleigh's reaction just now, he also knew that she had no impression of this book at all. As a medical student, she would never remember what she said in the French class that she chose as an elective in university.

After all, the courses that she took in the foreign language department were just for him. They were not things she really liked.

However, Theodore remembered very clearly that in French class that semester, the professor had been teaching this book the entire time and had asked Everleigh to answer a question. Her unexpected comments had caused the entire class to burst into laughter.

Later, in order to help her out, he raised his hand to answer the professor's question.

At that time, the professor asked him, "If your Anna told you that she met her true love and wanted to leave with that man, what choice would you make?"

"I will let her go, and then she'll realise that no one else will ever be able to make her happy like me."

It was a pity that Everleigh's French was bad. She'd skipped a semester's worth of classes, and she couldn't understand a word of what he said at that time.

The next day when Everleigh woke up, it was already dawn.

She sat up with the quilt in her arms and rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawning.

The moment she touched the bedsheets, she froze for a moment before she suddenly came to her senses. Why was she sleeping here?

Just then, the sound of a door opening reached her ears.

"Theodore! Where is Everleigh?"

Helen's figure appeared at the door. At the moment when she saw Everleigh on the bed, her eyes widened. "E... Everleigh?"

"Mommy?" A small head with two ponytails poked out behind Helen, and a pair of big black eyes like grapes rolled. "Mommy, why haven't you gotten up yet?"

"Grandma? Adrienne?" Everleigh's expression stiffened. "Why are you guys here?"

Helen had a vaguely bemused look on her face and said, "I heard that Theodore was in the hospital, so I brought the two children to see him. I didn't expect to bother you two. Well, I'll bring them out first."

"No," Everleigh waved her hand hurriedly and said, "Nothing happened. I fell asleep last night listening to a story. I don't know how I fell asleep here, but I slept alone..."

Before she could finish, the bathroom door was opened. Theodore walked out of the bathroom in his pajamas. His tall figure attracted the attention of Helen and the children.

Helen's eyes were wide open now.

Then, Adrienne covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Mommy, you and Daddy slept in the same room!"

The atmosphere seemed to freeze in an instant.

Everleigh's expression changed. This... This was really hard to explain, no matter what she said.

Quickly, Helen came back to her senses. She covered Adrienne's eyes as she closed the door and walked out. "Go on, go on. We'll go out and wait..."
