Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 26

After speaking to Alastair, Adrienne was certain that she did not get the wrong guy. She was thrilled and tugged Theodore's sleeves before asking, "Daddy, why didn't you give the medicine to Mommy that day? Alastair and I spent a long time looking for the drug store."

Theodore's eyes narrowed.

Everleigh scolded hurriedly, "Adrienne Trevino, stop it. Be quiet."

Adrienne's expression quivered. Ever since she was a baby, she had been a troublemaker. Although her brother would shoulder most of the blame for her, they would both be punished together. Sometimes, she was afraid of Everleigh, especially when Everleigh called her full name.

Immediately, the car became so quiet that everyone could hear a pin drop.

"You're so bad at naming them?"

Theodore's voice echoed in the car and broke the silence.

Everleigh was taken aback. She raised her head and met a pair of dark eyes. His eyes were no longer cold; he was staring at her tentatively.

"Alastair? Adrienne?" Theodore seemed to be deep in his thoughts. "Why did you name them that?"

Everleigh pursed her lips. "No particular reason."

"No," Adrienne suddenly interrupted, "Mommy, you told us that our names meant something."

Everleigh's face stiffened. "Adrienne."

Theodore frowned when he noticed Everleigh's nervous looks. He turned to Adrienne and asked solemnly, "Adrienne, what do they mean?"

"Mommy said that she named him for good luck!"

Good luck...

Alastair's calm face froze.

Everleigh lowered her head out of embarrassment.

It was very embarrassing. When she gave birth to the twins, she had a bit of complication. When she was in labor, she kept saying her prayers. Therefore, she decided to name the twins after a story, in hopes that they would share the same luck.
