Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 249

On the second night after the Thanksgiving holiday, Everleigh finished her work in the hospital and drove back to the Trevino family home.

When she got home, she didn't expect Selena to be there as well.

When Hilda opened the door, Everleigh heard the voices coming from the living room as soon as she entered.

Adrienne asked, "Aunt Selena, why does the mermaid princess like the prince?"

"There's no reason for love. You'll know when you grow up, Adrienne."

"Why didn't the mermaid princess tell the prince that she likes him?"

"Because the mermaid princess is mute."

"Can't she write? Alastair and I can also write."

"Maybe the language used by the mermaids at the bottom of the sea are different from that of human beings."

Everleigh stood about three meters away from the sofa and watched as Adrienne nestled in Selena's arms. In front of them was a colorful fairy tale book. Selena's voice was gentle, which was rare, and she was telling Adrienne the story of "The Little Mermaid".

Hearing the footsteps, Selena turned to look back from the sofa. Her eyes under the roundframed glasses were flustered. She asked dryly, "You're back?"

"Yeah." Everleigh came to her senses.

"Mommy." Adrienne stood up from Selena's arms, and leaned against the back of the sofa, asking Everleigh to give her a hug with an excited face.

After all, she was only a seven-year-old child, and she didn't understand the affairs between adults.

Everleigh went over to hug her and asked Selena, "Alastair and Adrienne haven't caused any trouble to our family these two days, have they?"

"No." Selena closed the book and pretended to be indifferent. "Don't get me wrong. I have a two-day break, thus I have nothing to do. That's why I'm staying at home."

"Thank you," Everleigh smiled.

Although Selena had always been against her in every way since she returned, she could still rely on her family members at the critical moment. She was just sharp-tongued but softhearted.

While they were talking, Hilda's voice came from behind. "Mr. Trevino."

Everleigh turned her head and noticed that Abraham had just come out from his study.

Since the incident at the hotel, the two children were taken home by Abraham, and she hadn't contacted the Meyer family since. Everleigh, however, received a phone call from her father, asking her to take care of herself, without asking about anything.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that her father was getting old.

Whenever parents could understand when their children were reluctant to tell the truth, all the helplessness and sadness in their hearts would disappear. In addition to their gradually aging bodies, time also made them lose courage to pursue the truth of many things.

"Grandpa." Adrienne laid on Everleigh's shoulder and called out sweetly to Abraham.

He nodded at the child. His smile was kind, but he had barely forced it out.

Selena stood up and said, "Adrienne, go upstairs and play. Alastair is upstairs too.

Let's go and see what he is doing."

"Okay." She nodded cleverly, stretched out her arm toward Selena, and was taken away by her.

Everleigh and Abraham were the only ones left in the living room.

Hilda went to make tea. The room was filled with the fragrance of tea, and the warmth dissipated the coldness of autumn.

"Dad, I'm sorry to trouble you and Selena these two days. I'll pick up Alastair and Adrienne later."
