Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 23

Under the crowd's watchful eyes, Theodore helped Everleigh up.

Everleigh froze when his arm fell on her shoulder. She was at a loss as she stared at him. Yet, she only saw his cold side profile and she could not read his mind.

She did not understand why Theodore was with Alastair. She did not know what Theodore was trying to do.

Abraham frowned as he sized up the man and his eyes were wary.

"Uncle." A rare trace of respect replaced Theodore's usual haughty looks. He continued, "I'm sorry that I was late. I went to pick up my son. If I had known that there would be a misunderstanding, I would have come with Everleigh."

The crowd was bewildered and confused.

Everyone's eyes fell on Theodore.

Theodore nodded at Abraham before turning to the crowd. He stated indifferently, "Everleigh is a medical student, so she's very busy with her studies abroad. Therefore, we've been postponing our wedding. All of you have misunderstood Everleigh."

"You are?" Someone asked.

"I'm Everleigh's fiance."

His reply stirred up a commotion among the crowd.

Although Theodore did not explain about the children, he was holding Alastair's hand and Everleigh was holding hands with Adrienne. The family of four bore an uncanny resemblance. Hence, there was no need to argue about who the father of the children was.

Everyone was still confused.

"What's with the photos?"

"Yeah, there were photos."

"It's Everleigh in the photos, right?"

The crowd was not only gossiping about Everleigh because of the twins but also because those vulgar photos were scattered all over the place.

Everleigh went pale. She lowered her head and did not dare to look up. She took a step back instinctively.
