Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 228

Stainley pondered for a while and said, "At that time, the supervisor arranged for me to go back to school in advance. I should've held on a little longer and stayed with you guys until the end."

"Oh, that?" Everleigh also recalled and smiled. "There was nothing you could do about it."

It took eight months to set up a branch in Africa. During that period, Stainley was called back by his mentor two months in advance. Due to some problems in his graduation experiment, he had to go back and revise the data.

Everleigh only thought that Stainley was feeling regretful because he didn't stay with them until the end, so she didn't think much of it.

Meanwhile, he wanted to say something else at the time, but after seeing her light expression, he gave up in the end. Nevertheless, there was a bitter expression on his face.

The place they were having dinner was on the first floor and they sat at the window. Thus, they could see the people on the street outside clearly. The night was dark and a black car stopped by the curb amidst the flurry of people.

At that time, Stainley was drinking water. When he glanced out of the window, he hesitated for a moment. "Is that Theodore?"

"Mm?" Everleigh raised her head and looked in the direction of his gaze. At that time, Theodore closed the car door and saw them through the glass windows. He strode towards the restaurant with vigorous strides.

Not long after, Theodore entered the restaurant and walked straight to their table. Standing at 1.85 meters tall in the aisle of the booth, he was especially eye catching.

Everleigh and Stainley were both stunned.

"Why are you here?"

Theodore looked at Everleigh for a long while before answering, "You didn't drink?"

"Drink what?" She was confused and asked, "Who told you that I was drinking?"

"If you weren't drinking, then Adri..." Theodore's brows creased slightly. He seemed to have understood something in an instant.

Her gaze passed over Theodore and landed on the children's area not far away. Meanwhile, Adrienne was leaning against the gauzy screen looking at them. Then, she instantly understood something.

"Did Adrienne tell you that I drank?"

Theodore's brows furrowed even deeper. He followed Everleigh's gaze and turned to look at the children's area with a complicated expression.

"This girl." Everleigh got up and went to carry Adrienne out.

Stainley raised his hand to stop her hurriedly. "Everleigh, forget it. Adrienne's still a kid."

Since Stainley was there, Everleigh couldn't lose her temper. However, Theodore's interruption made her feel extremely embarrassed. Hence, how could she sit still? Instead, she went straight to the children's area.

There were plenty of people having dinner in the restaurant, and a lot of adults were with their kids in the children's area. Then, Everleigh stood at the entrance and tried her best to suppress her temper as she shouted towards the inside, "Adrienne Trevino."

At that moment, Adrienne realized that things were not going well. Half of her body was buried in the colorful ball pit. As she held the guardrail with her chubby hands, her eyes pretended to be innocent.

"Alastair, bring Adrienne out."

"Everleigh." Stainley came from behind her. He was busy trying to smooth things over. "It's fine. It's not a big deal. The children were just playing around. It's not a big deal."

"Isn't it a big deal to lie?" Everleigh was already filled with anger. Adrienne had done too many things during this period of time. As a result, this was the final straw. "Adrienne, you'd better come out while I still have the patience for this."

Everleigh was not a strict mother. Other than their health, she allowed them to do as they wished. Therefore, the two children seldom saw her get angry.

At this time, Adrienne was so scared that she did not dare to get up from the ball pit, and her eyes turned red with tears.

"What are you mad at her for?" Theodore looked at her. "What did she do wrong? If anything, it's the parents¹ fault."
