Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 291

Seeing Adrienne sleeping so soundly, Theodore couldn't bear to wake her from her sleep. "I'll carry her out," he said.

Everleigh hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

The four of them reached the parking lot. Theodore then placed Adrienne on the booster seat. Everleigh said "thank you" to him, got in the car and left.

He stood behind and watched the car slowly disappearing from his sight. At that moment, it was as if something was gradually disappearing into his heart as well.

For the first time, he felt anxious. Seven years ago, it was anger that he felt most, but now, he suddenly realized that he would be losing everything completely.

If you loved someone and had feelings for them, you would feel their existence even if they were at the ends of the earth; but if you didn't love them, you wouldn't be bothered even if they were right in front of you.

He was terrified by such a feeling.

Inside Everleigh's car, Alastair, who sat at the back, said, "He said he still likes you."

"Yeah, I know."

"What do you think?" He looked out of the window. The stillness on his face and his age just did not seem to match.

Looking at his "little adult" demeanor, Everleigh couldn't help laughing. In fact, she also didn't know what to do.

It was a love-hate relationship between the two.

"Do you have him in your heart?"

"Are you worried?"

"I don't care. I just feel that you shouldn't be looking for someone who doesn't love you," he wanted to reject Theodore, but after a slight change of thought, he switched the conversation topic.

In Alastair's heart, he rejected Theodore because he didn't treat Everleigh well. In fact, it could even be said that he held a grudge against him.

"I'm also confused. Let's not talk about this for the time being, okay?" Everleigh said softly; it was not difficult to sense the agitation in her tone.

She had always been avoiding this question. She thought it would all be enough as long as she could uncover the truth from seven years ago, but now that the truth is out, what good has it done? Could the both of them pick up from where they had left off?

Due to this, both Theodore and Everleigh didn't sleep well. The main reason was that they didn't know which stage would be considered best fortheir relationship.

In the morning, when Everleigh got up, Selena was already sitting in the dining room. Seeing her smiling, Everleigh couldn't help but ask.

"Happy because you got a new script?"

"Leon Allen said he would like Theodore to invest in a television series, and he wants me as the main character," she revealed, with no intention of hiding this, feeling rather pleased with herself.

Hearing the name "Leon Allen" made Everleigh feel worse, for she knew very well what kind of man he was.

"Stay away from him. You mentioned that Christopher is one attractive playboy. Isn't Leon the same?"

With a piece of toast in her hand, Selena froze and stared at Everleigh with displeasure, "You just can't bear to see me well-off, can you?"

"Well, if you don't believe me, you can go ask around. What did Leon do to make himself 'unforgettable' back at the Godfrey family's banquet," Everleigh said, unbothered by Selena's displeasure. She continued eating her toast.

Speaking of the truth.

Something came into Selena's mind when she heard "the Godfrey family's banquet".

Everleigh had decided that she would not say anything further. Whatever went on in Selena's mind was none of her business, but Leon was someone whom Cecil rejected. Hence, he and Selena would not be a good match at all, let alone be happy together.

The long awaited holiday had finally arrived. Cecil called to ask Everleigh out, but her voice didn't sound joyful.

She didn't turn her down and decided to go shopping with her. Whenever Cecil seemed down, she would do things half-heartedly.

"What's with the sudden hang out invitation? Did something happen?"

"Do you know why I came back?" Cecil sat on a chair, with one hand stirring a glass of juice. Her eyes were fixed on the passers-by.

Everleigh shook her head. How would she know?
