Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 290

Leon looked at the things on the table. He could not help but shake his head, "Things seem really hard for you, so much so that you're even eating such things."

"Mr. Allen, not everyone can be like you, having so much free time and also money to spend," Everleigh replied under her breath. She continued eating as if the person who just talked was not her.

He was silenced instantly. Indeed, being the perpetual idler he was, he was always thinking about courting women for pleasure.

"Yeah, you're right. Only someone like me fits into such a role... You're that star, aren't you?" Leon asked before he could finish his sentence, for his eyes lit up instantly the moment he laid his eyes on Selena. She was standing by the side, emanating an extraordinary aura.

Hearing what Leon had said, Theodore and Everleigh both frowned at the same time and looked at her.

Selena originally wanted to deride Everleigh, but when she saw Theodore, she felt that it was better to maintain her image.

As for the man before her, she had known about him all along, Leon Allen; he was also Theodore's cousin. Selena had originally wanted to get on Theodore's list, so naturally she had to investigate him to get a clear picture of the people related to him.

She was wondering why someone like Josephine could assume the identity of Mrs. Godfrey, but not her. By means of family backgrounds and the way she carried herself, she was not any inferior to Josephine.

Refusing to accept reality, she tried to get close to him using her celebrity status.

As a result, the return of Everleigh disrupted all of her plans.

Now that she and Theodore even had children, she could kiss her daydream goodbye, for there was nothing much she could do.

"Hello, Mr. Allen," she gave a gentle smile; it was the standard smile which made people's hearts blossom like roses in full bloom, mesmerizing and pleasing.

To boot, Leon had always been a ladies' man, never refusing beautiful women flocking to him, especially ones like Selena.

"You know me? I'm really sorry for being so abrupt," he said humbly, but his feet displayed an otherwise behavior as he walked straight to Selena's side.

Looking at his mannerisms, Selena maintained the smile on her face, and the smile grew even more affectionate.

Everleigh said suddenly, "Leon, if there's nothing else, you can go back first. This is a hospital."

She deliberately emphasized the word "hospital" to imply that this was not a place for courting women.

Theodore didn't like him behaving in such a manner, either. His face darkened and he said, "Leon, come here."

"But Theodore, I'm re- forming a pleasant internal relationship on behalf of you," said Leon, who refused to leave things like that. She was Everleigh's sister, after all, and he was obviously within scoring position, so it was not wrong for him to do so.

Theodore wouldn't believe any words from this lustful brat. In fact, he had long since gotten used to such behavior and was totally unsurprised. However, he felt it was best not for Leon not to mess with Selena.

"Adrienne, I have snacks in my room. Do you want to come?"

Upon hearing this, Adrienne's tiny face reflected her dilemma. She looked at Everleigh with her dark eyes, as if she was asking for her opinion.

"There are cakes and tidbits," Theodore added softly.

"Let's go. Daddy, you are not in good health. I will take good care of you, right Alastair?" She asked adorably but in a righteous manner, worried that her decision might drag her brother into trouble.

But how could Alastair not see through her intention?

Everleigh glanced at Adrienne, her eyes emotionless. Alastair also looked at her, as if asking for her opinion.

"Just go, but let's go home after work."

"Okay, thank you, Mommy," Adrienne exclaimed excitedly, and hugged Theodore's neck. "Let's go, Daddy."

Theodore looked at her who was close by his side, and breathed in the scent of his endearing daughter.

A quiet Alastair just followed him from behind.

Theodore looked at Everleigh with deep thoughts running through his mind, then brought his two children back to the ward.

Leon sighed slightly and left without a choice.

By this point, Everleigh and Selena were the only two people left in the office, and things got quieter in an instant.
