Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 40

The atmosphere in the office was gloomy.

Theodore's cold eyes were like a black hole. Everleigh's remarks made him swallow his pain.

He was calm as he faced the woman whom he once loved.

He did not reply; hence Everleigh took his silence as a sign that he was guilty.

She hugged Adrienne tightly in her arms and tried to speak as calmly as possible, "I'm telling you for the last time, the kids don't have anything to do with you, so don't bother them again. Otherwise, I'll call the police."

"Call the police?" A hint of mockery flashed in Theodore's calm eyes, but he laughed.

"I'm sure that a huge company like Godfrey Group wouldn't want any troubles because of their president's behavior, right?"

Seven years ago, Everleigh did not make a fuss when she broke up with Theodore and left Ocpeace City. She was always bright and positive in front of him, and she was never mad.

She buried her feelings for him in her memories and left everything behind.

Maybe she was cruel and had forgotten all about it.

He was the only one who would not move on.

If Stainley were not around, Theodore would have strangled her and forced her to recall those memories. He would question her about what she did.

"Mommy, I brought Adrienne here."

Everleigh's face stiffened, and she lowered her head in shock. Alastair was tugging her shirt, and he stared up at her carefully.

"What did you say?"

"Adrienne made a fuss and said she wanted to see Uncle Godfrey. I had no choice but to bring her here. Uncle Godfrey was very busy, so Adrienne and I stayed here the whole afternoon, and she even fell asleep."

Alastair explained everything concisely.

Everleigh's body went numb.

She was not thinking straight. Back then, Theodore was curious about the twins. Therefore, she assumed that he abducted the kids when the GPS showed they were in the Godfrey Group.

She feared that someone would take the kids away.

Everleigh knew that things were impossible for her and Theodore. She was afraid that someone would find out about the children's identities too. She was worried that Theodore would take them away from her...

Her fear misled her.

"Do you still want to call the police?" Theodore's cold voice echoed in the office. He was still standing between the sofa and the coffee table. The chandelier was shining above him and casting a long shadow on the carpet.

"I'm sorry." Everleigh's face turned pale. "I thought..."

"Am I the one making a fool of myself?" Theodore did not wait for her to finish. He glanced at Stainley, who was standing behind her, and sneered, "You don't have the time to care for your children, but you have time to go on a date, huh? Are you even a mother?"

"Theodore, how could you say that?" Stainley tried to explain, "We..."

"I don't care about your relationship with her." Theodore shot a cold stare at Stainley and added, "I'm not interested."

Stainley was at a loss for words.

Everleigh was frustrated. She wanted to apologize, but she choked on her words when she saw Theodore's cold face. After a long pause, she managed to force herself to squeak, "I'm really sorry."

Theodore was indifferent. "If you don't leave now, I'll call the police."

Everleigh looked embarrassed. She muttered her apology again before leaving.

As soon as she stepped out of the office, Adrienne stirred in Everleigh's arms. She rested her chin on Everleigh's shoulder before raising her head and rubbing her eyes. She spotted Theodore in the office, and she called out, "Daddy."
