Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 326

Everleigh served several dishes on the table. The others around the table were stunned when they saw the food that was almost black in color.

Was this even edible...

"It's all done. Don't wait and start eating," she said with dirt marks on her face. Her eyes were shiny as if she was looking forward to their compliments.

"Mommy, what is this?"

"This is roast pork. The presentation isn't that great but the taste isn't bad."

The four of them looked at Everleigh who was filled with confidence; they couldn't bear to burst her bubble.

They all picked up a bite of the dish with their forks and forced it down their throats.

"It tastes alright. You've improved a little compared to the last time." Abraham's words were very euphemistic.

However, Selena couldn't bear it anymore and spat it out directly. "You call this cooking?"

As soon as her words came out, the others were unhappy with her honesty. Selena knew that she shouldn't have said those words but the dish was truly terrible.

"Your cooking needs great improvement. It would be best if you cooked less in the future." Selena put down her cutlery, turned around and went back to her room.

She would rather eat chips than eat Everleigh's cooking.

Everleigh took off her apron. She didn't feel upset as she knew that she would never be good at cooking in this life. However, she still wished to prepare a meal for her family. She did it so that they would remember her as a daughter and mother who did not know how to cook.

"Everleigh, cooking can always be improved through practice. There are still chances in the future."

"Okay. I learned a few tips from Mrs. Harrison, but I guess it didn't work." Everleigh's tone didn't sound angry at all.

Abraham, Alastair and Adrienne were relieved. It was fine as long as she wasn't upset about it.

Time flew by and it was time for Everleigh to report to duty in Africa. Before she left, she went to Abraham's study to see him.

She saw Alastair standing beside Abraham and paying deep attention to him speaking.

"Dad." "Here you are. Sit down." Abraham pointed at the sofa on one side and asked her to wait for a moment.

However, to Everleigh's surprise, Alastair was dealing with her father's documents.

"Dad, Alastair is..."

"Alastair is a very smart child. He has great potential in doing business. If he is cultivated, he will definitely become successful in business." Abraham reached out his hand and touched Alastair's head, unable to conceal his love in his eyes.

She followed his sight and gazed at Alastair. It was as if she was looking at Theodore who was serious at work.

"Grandpa, I'm done with it. You can have a look." Alastair handed over the document.

Abraham took it and didn't look at it. He said, "You go back first. I'll have a few words with your mother."

"Okay. Goodnight, Grandpa." Alastair's tender voice rang out. He turned around and was about to go back to rest.

After he left, Abraham asked instantly, "Is there something you would like to say?"

Everleigh turned to look at her father, hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, I am going to Africa tomorrow to aid them. I will be gone for a year and I hope that you will help me take care of Alastair and Adrienne."

Abraham's brows furrowed. She had barely been home for a year and now she was going to be gone for a year?

"Why did you make such a decision?"

"Dad, I'm no different from a disabled person now. My main purpose of going to Africa is so that I may experience a new environment and have a new outlook in life. It would be better than staying here." Her tone sounded depressed.

If she could, she would choose to stay here too.

She had dreamed of spending quality time with her family for many years but not under such circumstances.
