Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 361

Everleigh still did not listen to Christopher's words and left for the rendezvous which made him furious. "Can't you listen to me for once?"

"Have you just met me?" She said as she drove. Her hands tightly clenched the steering wheel; she was obviously nervous.

She hadn't seen Xavier for eight years, so she didn't know what he would be like. Besides, she heard Christopher say that Xavier was now temperamental and unpredictable, like a bomb that would explode in an instant. If she didn't play her cards right, she wouldn't even know how she died.

Christopher had no choice but to drive to the restaurant in the Westfield District and wait for her.

When Everleigh reached the rendezvous point, she saw the building in front of her. River streams surrounded it; next to it was a small bridge and pine trees stood tall at the back of the building. It was a picturesque scenery.

When she walked in, the building was made with first-class redwood and the interior design was classical. It felt as if she stepped into Shangri-La.

As she entered the restaurant, she saw Xavier sitting alone in the middle of the dining hall.

Xavier and Theodore looked somewhat similar, but the difference was that Theodore's eyes were as mysterious as the deep sea, inviting people to discover what lied within.

When she met Xavier eight years ago, he was bright and cheerful. However, now he was shrouded in a haze, like a lion that was ready to pounce at any moment.

"Long time no see, Miss Trevino," he stared at her with a half-smiling expression.

Even the smile on the butler standing next to him sent chills down Everleigh's spine.

She strode over and sat in front of him; her eyes were as calm as water. "Long time no see, Xavier. It has been eight years since we last met, but you're still as handsome as ever."

"Ah... You're as sweet as ever. What's the point of being handsome when I'm handicapped," he mocked as he looked at his bony legs.

She followed the direction of Xavier's gaze. She could clearly see that his legs had become weak and the muscles had shrunk due to lack of movement.

There was still no change in her eyes. "Have you heard of the saying 'broken in body but firm in

spirit'?"

Xavier's face changed slightly, and he said coldly, "Do you think that I'm incapable?"

"No, there is hope for anyone, and you are no exception. You are just intoxicated in the blow. Xavier, did you call me here to make me pity you, or did you have something to say to me?" She changed the subject quickly. She tried to encourage him, but in the next second she asked for the reason he was looking for her.

Xavier was a little dumbstruck. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

The butler's eyes were filled with surprise. She was the only one who didn't make Mr. Xavier lose his temper.

Otherwise, the words "broken in body but firm in spirit" would have set him off a long time ago.

"It seems that you have something to tell me. Go ahead, but I need to pick up my children, so I'm afraid that I don't have a lot of time." She put her bag down, crossed her arms, and waited for him to continue.

He sneered when he saw her attitude. "Eight years, and you haven't changed a bit."

"Have you?" "Have I not?"

Her lips curved upward as she heard his words, and her eyes rippled. It seemed that she didn't agree with his words.

"Xavier, if you had really changed, you wouldn't have come looking for me today. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"When I was with your brother, you approved from the bottom of your heart. Although a lot of things have happened and made you what you are now, I believe that a person's heart will not change, especially when we are both victims." Her last words were firm.

Xavier's expression was startled, and his dark eyes were a little dazed.

It was also this expression that made Everleigh conclude that her guess was right. He knew who had caused him to be like this.
