Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 322

Alastair's eyebrows furrowed. He felt that his mother was acting a little different that day and wondered if something had happened to her.

"Mommy, why do you have so much free time?"

"I'm not going back to work anymore and will be spending more time with you two at home. If I'm not here anymore in the future, remember to spend more time with your grandpa, alright? Also, Grandpa likes it quiet..." Everleigh instructed the two of them.

Adrienne and Alastair both felt that their mother was acting strange that day for saying these words out of the blue.

"Mommy, is there something you're hiding from us?" Alastair's tone sounded steady like an adult.

"No, that's not it. I'm just trying to tell you how to treat your grandpa and your Aunt Selena well. They treat you so well so you should repay them with love."

She answered in a very natural way. She knew that Alastair was very smart and was not easy to fool.

He nodded, still suspicious, and did not ask anymore questions.

When they returned home in the evening, Alastair and Adrienne went to rest as they looked forward to going to the zoo the next day.

"Dad, I bought a massage machine for your feet. Hilda said that you've been complaining about your sore feet." Everleigh carried the machine with great effort with a smile on her face.

Abraham saw her struggling to carry the machine and quickly grabbed it over to place it aside. "Your hands have not healed yet."

"I'm fine, I just carried it inside. I also bought quite a few things for you, all with my own money. Consider them gifts from your daughter."

She had never bought anything for him. She didn't think that she would until she thought about herself dying.

This time, she was going to make up for her loss of so many years.

"What are you doing? I don't lack any of these things," he said as he watched the maids carry in many bags of items into the house.

"I just saw what I liked and bought them. Dad, you've done so much these few years. I have been a bad daughter to you and I've done so many horrible things. I wasn't even by your side when you were admitted into the hospital." "It is all in the past now, so there's no point talking about it." He felt his heart ache as he listened to her words.

Everleigh lifted the corner of her lips slightly as she felt a sting in her eyes. She kept quiet, then turned around and instructed the maids to carry all the bags into her father's room.

She also prepared a gift for Selena and placed it in her room. It was a token of appreciation for her sister.

"What are you doing here?"

"You're back just in time. I got you a new dress; come see if it fits you. I remember you saying that you liked this brand worn by this model, so I got it custom made for you from overseas."

Selena looked at the gift box on the bed, frowning with doubt. "What are your intentions? Are you going to persuade me to leave Leon?"

"No, I just thought that I had never given you a gift, so I bought it."

"Why are you acting so kind?" Selena mumbled as she opened the gift. It was a long dress in a pastel mint color. It was the same one worn by that model.

Her eyes became much softer, but she still refused to admit defeat. "Finally, you think about getting me a gift. What took you so long?" "I guess I've lost my mind. Is this what you mean?"

Everleigh said sarcastically.

Selena laughed as she was amused by Everleigh's words. She tried to hide her smile but she didn't manage to. "You're right, that's what I meant," she replied.

Everleigh saw her laughing and felt that it was worth it. She thought that her children would be in good hands once she was gone in the future.

Theodore sat in the study going through documents. Moses called and told him that he tried to send the items to Everleigh that day but she wasn't home.

"Where did she go?"

"She went to the hospital and had lunch with her children in the afternoon. Then, she went shopping for a lot of things." Moses felt that she was acting strange. Although it was normal for women to like shopping, she had overdone it this time.
