Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 262

Everleigh felt helpless. Christopher was a nice person, but he couldn't keep himself from bad influences. Despite the many times she had told him not to do so, it was to no avail.

Abraham's expression fell, and he went upstairs after snorting his disapproval.

"See, even Dad disapproves. How come your taste in men is getting worse as time passes? What good is he for, apart from his good looks?" After Abraham left, Selena grew even more sarcastic.

Everleigh did not feel offended by her words. "My taste has never been good. You don't have to comment on this."

"Humph!" Selena snorted.

Everleigh returned to her room. She was not used to being at home, idling about the whole day. She used to be always busy and wanted to rest, but now that she was forced to rest, she realized that this was not what she wanted.

Later in the afternoon, she received a phone call from Theodore, asking her to meet up with him.

She actually had nothing to talk to him about, but he stated that he had already brought Alastair and Adrienne over.

She was left with no choice.

When she arrived at the restaurant, she heard Adrienne's youthful voice, and the table was full of desserts; there was even some ice cream that was still not finished.

"Daddy, why don't you go look for Mommy?"

"I'm busy." Theodore's doting gaze was fixed on her. He still remembered the moment when he found out that both of them were his children, and he had never been happier.

Thinking of Adrienne's pretty face made him happy.

The only thing was that he was too occupied with the events that had happened subsequently, otherwise, he would've definitely had a good chat with the both of them.

Everleigh stood by the door for a long time, and didn't come to her senses, until Alastair saw her. He called her and pulled her back from her reverie.

Theodore turned around and saw her. She was standing not far away from him, dressed in a long, jet-black dress, showing her slender and perfect shape, but her face seemed pale and haggard.

"Come, take a seat."

Everleigh walked over and sat next to Alastair and Adrienne. She looked at her daughter, whose face was covered in ice cream.

Then, she took out a tissue and began to wipe her face.

"Mommy, why are you so late? We've been waiting for you for ages. Daddy said that we must wait for you before we can order." After saying that, Adrienne even burped.

Alastair looked at Everleigh and gave her a thoughtful look, but then lowered his head without a word.

Theodore handed the menu to her, but she gently shook her head. "I'm not hungry."

He didn't reply. Instead, he took the menu back and ordered a lot of food that Everleigh loved.

Adrienne stretched out her tiny hand to cover her mouth as she smiled slyly. "Daddy knows Mommy very well."

Theodore subconsciously glanced at her. Pressing his lips tightly, he remained silent.

Adrienne was the only one who didn't stop talking, but when she stopped, the atmosphere suddenly became very depressing.

"What is the hospital's stand?" Theodore toyed with the fork in his hand, his tone bland as he spoke.

"Your mother is determined to destroy me. I didn't want to tell you this at first, but now that you've mentioned it, I want to give you my two cents as well. As for your grandmother's illness, I can only say that I am not guilty. I never would have done anything to her. In fact, in the Godfrey family, she was the only one who's a good person, even compared to you," Everleigh stated, her gaze turning sharp.

She had a grudge against him too. He had claimed that he would take care of it, but when Madam Scott died, he also doubted her in his heart. Otherwise, how could he not have stopped Madison's actions?

If it weren't for the two children, she wouldn't have come out and met him that day. It was utterly useless to meet up with him.

When Theodore heard her saying that he was not a good person either, he felt as if something had bumped against his heart.

She still doubted him after all these years.
