Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 29

The atmosphere, which was initially relaxed, immediately turned tense upon the words 'seven years ago'.

Clenching her fists, Everleigh forced a smile, trying to sound as calm as possible, "Sort of, but not entirely. I was planning to further my education overseas, but applying for entrance into university doesn't just take one or two days."

She could only watch as Theodore's eyes turned ice-cold.

After all, they were in love for five years, so they knew each other very well. They knew what to say to change the topic; they also knew exactly what to say to hurt the other party.

Theodore stared at her with his cold eyes. He waited for her explanation, but she didn't plan on giving him one. Everleigh lowered her head and took a sip of water. She had no intention of apologizing for what happened back then.

"Waiter, the bill, please." Theodore said, before standing up.

On the way back, Theodore didn't say a word. The entire atmosphere in the car was hostile.

Adrienne was still a clueless child. She couldn't sense the animosity between the two adults, and kept chirping to herself as any child would. When they arrived at their destination, she was fast asleep on Theodore's shoulder.

After getting out of the car, Everleigh was about to wake Adrienne up. She didn't expect that Theodore would carry the child out of the car. He asked coldly, "Which floor are you on?"

Everleigh was taken aback for a moment. "The 12th floor."

"Let's go."

She remained rooted to the spot. Alastair tugged at her skirt. "Mommy, let's go. I'm tired."

After the elevator reached the twelfth floor, Everleigh proceeded to unlock the door and allowed Theodore to step foot into the house. They headed to the children's bedroom to lay the sleeping Adrienne onto her bed.

Looking at the water dripping off Theodore's shirt, Everleigh apologized awkwardly, "I'm sorry about your shirt.

Theodore shot her a cold look. "It seems like you don't have a problem apologizing for trivial matters."

Everleigh pursed her lips and was speechless.

Theodore was a germaphobe. Yet, at that moment, his entire shoulder was covered in Adrienne's saliva. She was surprised that he hadn't said a word. He was probably grumbling internally.

She felt conflicted. She didn't wish for Theodore to spend too much time with the children, but she didn't want him to hate them either. She had to handle this matter carefully, treading on thin ice.

Theodore asked, "Where's the bathroom?"

"Oh, over there," Everleigh quickly pointed to it.

After Theodore went in, she stood in the living room for a long time, listening to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. She wasn't sure what to do so she made her way into the kitchen to put the kettle on the stove.

In the bathroom, Theodore faced the mirror as water from the faucet continued flowing.

He looked at the three electric toothbrushes standing on the washstand. One was white, and the other two were pink and blue, obviously for the children.

Judging from the towels hanging on the rack and the shampoo bottles in the basket, there were no signs of a man being in the house.

Theodore felt himself relax a bit. He looked at the small cat sticker on the corner of the mirror, then looked at his wet shirt; his gaze softened.

The sound of the bathroom door opening was screeching and loud.

Everleigh looked flustered. She looked up from the sofa and asked, "Do you drink tea?"

"There's no need. I have other matters to attend to."

Theodore's expression was flat and his gaze, indifferent.

Out of courtesy, Everleigh walked him downstairs.
