Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 270

"I don't have to say much about Everleigh's feelings for you, but Stainley, she herself knows what's best for her. You are a good person, just not for her."

Stainley looked downwards and sorrow crept up in him.

"Stainley, she will never say harsh things to you. Do you know why?"

"You don't have to tell me, I know what I'm doing."

"Do you really know? If you did, would you trouble her so much? You know she would rather put the pressure on herself than make it difficult for others." Christopher smelled like liquor, and the way he spoke showed how drunk he was.

After a long silence, Stainley said slowly, "Am I wrong to pursue my own happiness?"

"Nope, but the thing is that you need to not cause her trouble. You know about the problems between Theodore and Everleigh, yet you think your sudden intervention won't cause any issues?" Christopher spoke his words, looking more serious than a while ago.

He knew that Stainley was a good man and a perfect husband in fact, but that would only be after marriage.

Taking one more look at the beer he was holding, Stainley finished it off in one gulp. He thought that he was doing everything for Everleigh's own good, but he had neglected how she felt.

Perhaps Christopher was right. There were a lot of problems between Theodore and Everleigh.

"Sometimes in pursuing a girl, it's not enough just to be considerate. In addition to that, you must be sensitive to her current situation." After he finished his sentence, Christopher laid down drunkenly on the bar counter.

Stainley smiled bitterly. He looked at the drunk form of Christopher and felt greatly amused.

The next day, Christopher and Stainley arrived at the hospital and expected to see Everleigh, but she wasn't there.

"Miss Annie, is Dr. Trevino not here?'

"No, she was supposed to go on rounds yesterday afternoon but she didn't show up." Annie, a nurse, answered Stainley as she was confused as well.

Stainley was shocked. Everleigh was never the kind of person who would just go missing when she was at work. Since she didn't come for rounds, it probably meant that she had encountered some trouble.

On the other hand, Christopher's expression was no better than Stainley's. He took out his mobile phone in a hurry and called Everleigh, but no one answered.

At this time, Theodore was in the car, listening to Everleigh's phone ring over and over again. He had no intention of picking it up.

"Mr. Godfrey." Hearing the ringing, Moses seemed to be asking whether to pick up the call or not.

He didn't say anything and he closed his eyes to rest as he shut out all stimulation from the outside world. Seeing this, Moses knew that he shouldn't say anything more and drove the car silently.

Christopher had a gut feeling that something was not right. Hence, he called Alastair and Adrienne. Alastair, who had woken up earlier, answered.

"Christopher, what's the matter?"

"Did your mommy come home last night?" Christopher tried to calm his voice down. Alastair was more quick- witted than Adrienne, so he would know something was up if he said something wrong.

"Nope. What happened?" Alastair frowned, looking very mature indeed.

A creeping uneasiness rose in his chest.

Christopher's heart skipped a beat as a bad feeling welled up his heart. He came to his senses and said in a relaxed tone, "What could happen... Okay, I see her now!" He said as if someone was beside him. "Alastair, it turns out that your mommy was helping others with their shift. She's just come back from buying breakfast."

Alastair listened to his words but he did not answer for a long time, as if he wanted to hear Everleigh's voice.
