Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 240

"Christopher..."

Everleigh carefully called his name when she saw that he seemed to be in a trance.

Then, he came to his senses and avoided her gaze. "Nothing. Who told you that nonsense? What could have happened to me?"

That didn't sound right at all.

Everleigh had known him for seven years, and the relationship between them was even closer than that between family members. She could guess what he was feeling from his actions and gaze.

There must be something that occurred eight years ago that Christopher refused to tell her about.

Just as she was about to ask more questions, the sound of an engine came from behind.

Everleigh and Christopher both looked back and saw the black car parked behind Christopher's car. A tall figure came down. He was tall and thin, and his face was as expressionless as the cliff behind them.

Then, Everleigh's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"I can't believe you've followed me all the way here. You're quite capable indeed." Christopher's voice came from beside her.

The reason he brought Everleigh out that day was to relieve stress, and the other reason was that he wanted to hide her from Theodore. The previous day, Everleigh said that she would tell Theodore everything on an impulse, but there was a better way to solve the situation.

He didn't expect Theodore to follow him on his own.

"I'll talk to him..."

"I'll go." She grabbed Christopher and looked at him calmly. However, this calmness made him panic.

No one had ever been able to stop Everleigh from doing the things she wanted to do, or saying the things she wanted to say.

It was past noon, and the hottest hours of the day were over. Hence, the mountain breeze made all of them feel rather chilly.

Everleigh and Theodore stood on the hill side by side. In the distance, they could see the vastness of Ocpeace City. It was clearly such a big place, but when they looked down at it from where they were, they felt it was so small that it could be covered with a single palm.

"Are you feeling better?" Theodore asked.

Everleigh put her hands in the trouser pocket of her slacks and said with a cold expression, "Don't beat around the bush. Just ask what you want to ask."

Hearing that, he looked at her.

From his point of view, he saw Everleigh's side profile. Her nose was small and straight, and her light makeup seemed to be the same as when she was a student, simple and pure.

However, they all knew that after so many years, no one was able to keep the purity of the past.

"What happened seven years ago? What else did you hide from me? What did Christopher mean?"

He asked directly, but the last question was particularly serious. Christopher had always been a thorn in his heart, and he knew something that even Theodore didn't know. This made him angry, but he couldn't be.

Everleigh could tell that he was unwilling to give up, but she just snorted and said, "Is that all the president of the Godfrey Group can do? Can't you find out what happened seven years ago?"

Theodore's brows knitted together as he stared at her. He had a bad feeling about this.

She did not look at him. Instead, she kept looking at the distant Ocpeace City. Her gaze was far away, as if she saw beyond what was in front of her. She gazed through the cracks in time, and she recalled the unbearable memory of that rainy night seven years ago.

"Seven years ago, I was raped."

The moment these words left her mouth, she felt as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

Everleigh didn't expect that she would personally tell her true love this sentence, which made her feel like it was the most shameful thing in her life. She just ripped open her scars and showed him the bloody insides.
