Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 251

Everleigh wanted to tell Abraham about her relationship with Christopher, but he didn't ask about it, thus she didn't say anything. However, why would he suddenly invite Christopher to come to their home?

If this matter was not made clear, he would still treat Christopher as his son-in-law. The Meyer family might not be willing to allow this.

Thinking of this, Everleigh felt a little stressed and had to make it clear.

"Dad, Christopher and I are..."

"Let's eat first." Abraham put down the newspaper in his hand suddenly. "Why hasn't Selena come down yet?"

Everleigh paused for a moment. When she was about to speak, she heard Selena's voice coming from behind. "Coming, I went to take a look at Alastair and Adrienne. They are still asleep."

She came downstairs and stood behind Everleigh. She looked over her shoulder and saw Christopher. She asked Everleigh in a low voice, "What is he doing here?"

Everleigh also kept frowning.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was weird. Everybody knew about Everleigh and Christopher's relationship, except Abraham, but Christopher kept calling him "Dad" intimately.

Everleigh kept kicking Christopher's leg under the table, but he didn't respond at all.

"Take your time to eat. I'm going to the bathroom." Everleigh set down her cutleries and signaled Christopher with her eyes. Then, she went to the bathroom alone.

After a while, he said, "Dad, do continue your meal with Selena first. Excuse me, as I answer a call."

Leaning against the wall of the bathroom, Everleigh said into the phone angrily, "What are you doing?"

Christopher's voice came from the other end of the line. "What could I do? Your father asked me to come here."

"That's because he doesn't know about us yet. Stop messing around."

"When did I mess around? Can't you tell that your father likes me very much?"

"Christopher, it's useless for my father to like you. It's easy to hide it from him but how are you going to explain it to your parents? Besides, Felicia will be able to figure out what's going on with a little investigation. The incident that day was so serious."

According to Christopher's tone, he did not intend to be honest. He planned to continue to coax the parents on both sides, but Everleigh could no longer pretend.

"Do you really think that your father can't find out the things that Felicia and my parents can find out?"

Through the phone, his words made Everleigh dumbfounded.

"Dad knew about it already?" She thought.

Christopher said, "Elders have seen everything since they've lived for more than half of their lifespan. Their psychological endurance is much higher than what we think."

"Then, why does my father still..."

"Is it that hard to understand?" Christopher said with a bit of pride in his tone, "First, things have already happened. Second, there is such an excellent son- in- law in front of him. Who do you think your father will choose?"

Everleigh finally understood. "Isn't that just self-deception?"

"Why is it self- deception? By the way, you need to be mentally prepared."

"What?"

"My parents will come to your house in a few days."

"What?" Her voice rose suddenly.

"Why are you so anxious? How unconfident are you? Do you think that those things in the past could change anything? My parents like you so much that they don't care about them at all."

Everleigh's mind was in a mess.
