Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 227

Theodore looked at Stainley and didn't seem to have any intention of greeting him. His cold expression was written all over his face.

Then, Everleigh coughed to break the stagnant atmosphere in the room. "Stainley, come in and have a seat. This is also your office in the future. I'll clean it up later."

Stainley nodded and walked straight to the single sofa to sit down. There was only a table corner's distance between him and Theodore.

Adrienne looked at both men with her large eyes as she sucked on the lollipop. Then, she suddenly seemed to understand something.

This scene was often seen in TV dramas, when two men were going to fight over a woman. Very willingly, she sat down beside Theodore and was ready to watch the show.

"Long time no see." Stainley took the initiative to greet Theodore.

Theodore replied flatly, "It's not been that long."

The atmosphere became even more awkward for a moment, and Adrienne silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

This was the truth. To Theodore, it wasn't long if it was for someone he didn't want to see.

At that moment, Everleigh poured a cup of tea and said, "Stainley, have some tea."

"Thank you," he said as he took the cup.

Then, Everleigh placed the other cup of tea in front of Theodore and asked, "Don't you need to go back to the ward to see Madam Scott?"

"There's no need. Grandma has Alastair with her."

As soon as he finished speaking, a puzzled look appeared in Stainley's eyes. Upon entering the room, he felt that it was weird that Adrienne and Theodore were in there together. When he heard Theodore's words, he became even more confused.

Everleigh frowned and looked at Theodore. Then, she turned to Stainley and explained, "Madam Scott is not in good health and she is being treated in our hospital currently. Alastair, Adrienne and her are very good friends. Usually, when the two children are not in school, they will always go there."

"I see." Stainley nodded thoughtfully. "No wonder."

No wonder what?" Theodore looked at him. Stainley explained with a good temper. "No wonder you would show up here even though you're always so busy."

"You're quite busy too right? Even then, you're still here."

Stainley frowned.

Theodore's words carried a lot of weight, and even Everleigh could tell that something wasn't right. Thus, she couldn't help but feel awkward for him. "Stainley just started working in our hospital. Didn't you hear it just now? What's there to be idle about?"

Theodore sneered, "He started work, and he's sitting here drinking tea, so isn't he idle?"

Everleigh was angered by his aggression. Then, she said directly, "Do you think there's anything wrong with him drinking tea in his own office?"

"In his own office?" Theodore turned to look at her and asked, "Is he sharing the same office as you?"

"This is what the hospital arranged. I don't need to report to you about it, right?"

Sensing the fight brewing on the horizon, Adrienne immediately jumped down from the sofa. "Daddy, we've been out for a long time. It's time to go back! I have to rehearse!"

Theodore originally wanted to say something, but he couldn't say much because of the child's presence. He immediately took Adrienne's hand and walked out. He didn't even turn his head, and one could even see his anger from his retreating form.
