Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 356

Theodore turned his head and didn't ask any more questions. In the past, he had been so busy with Godfrey Group's matters that he hadn't had time to check on his family, not to mention Everleigh.

Leon's eyes slightly sank, and a sense of inferiority could be seen from his expression. "The Hayes family is a member of the Four Great Households. Back then, Cecil deliberately concealed it from me. I admit that I was a playboy, but my feelings for her were true."

Everleigh did not say anything, but picked up a glass of water on the table and took a shallow sip. She knew clearly when they had been together. It was because of this that she looked down on him even more.

He was a playboy, but he hoped that Cecil would give him her heart.

She now understood why Cecil had looked down on Theodore in the first place.

"Then what happened after that? Why did you believe Diana's words?"

"I didn't believe in anyone's slander, but that night I saw with my own eyes that Cecil and Lenold got out of the car together, so I couldn't help but doubt her."

Everleigh sneered, and the mockery in her eyes became clearer and clearer. "Why didn't you ask her? If you came forward, she would've explained it to you. Leon, did you really love her? Don't you even have the courage to ask her?"

Theodore turned his head and looked at Leon's face, full of regret. He really wanted to laugh. When had he become like this?

In the past, every sentence he said was reasonable.

He thought back to the time when he listened to Leon's advice when he tried to pursue Everleigh. He was such an idiot. "You will never understand the differences between the families. If Cecil was born into an ordinary family, then I would've given up everything to be with her, but all that I am proud of means nothing to the Hayes family. What do you think the Allen family means to them?" Tears flowed out from the corners of Leon's eyes as he finished his words. These were all his most genuine thoughts.

He had nothing to be arrogant about.

Everleigh looked at Theodore. They were the same. Even if the men were better than women, the Godfrey family's attitude was still shameful.

"To your families, is it that unacceptable for a woman to be superior to a man? Have you ever wondered about the courage a woman needs to climb up to a higher social status? Am I not the best example? And look what your Aunt Madison did to me. Is it important for couples to come from an equal social status? Absolutely. Isn't that what you planned all along?" Not only did Everleigh's words stump Leon, but Theodore felt a little embarrassed as well.

Neither of them could say anything to refute her.

She lowered her eyes; not only was she defending Cecil, she did it for herself too.

What she had to bear now was what they had given her.

"Everleigh, are you defending Cecil or Selena?"

"Both. Selena's temperament is different from Cecil's, but they have one thing in common, and that is loyalty. Do you have that?"

"I... do," Leon said with guilt.

Everleigh sneered. Who would believe his words?

"Everleigh, you have to give him a chance. Maybe Leon will really turn over a new leaf," Theodore said seriously, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

She blinked slightly but she remained silent.

"What happened between you and Selena? Was it because of the last time when you were in the hospital?"

Leon nodded honestly. "Yes, I really wanted to be friends with her then..."

"Don't lie to me. You don't want to be friends with her. You just want to date her. I told her about you a year ago and she listened. Otherwise, she wouldn't have broken up with you."

Leon raised his head and looked at her in surprise. He thought of many reasons, but he didn't expect it to be her.

"Do you hate me that much?"

Everleigh did not try to hide things and said simply, "Yes, I really hate you. Women hate playboys most, and I am no exception."

"This is the only reason?"

"Isn't it enough?" She rebutted.
