Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 428

Everleigh turned around and smiled as she said, "I will bring them there when this is over."

"Tell me in advance when you are coming over. I need to prepare some gifts. It's an official meeting after all. We can't be empty-handed."

"We are family. There's no need to be so polite."

When Alexander heard the word 'family', he felt a little excited. She used to say this in a polite tone, but this time, it was very natural and casual.

It really sounded like a real conversation that a family should have.

"Great." He nodded. He didn't know if that was a response to her words or a compliment for her attitude.

When she returned home, Alastair and Adrienne were sitting on the sofa listening to Abraham as he told them a story. It was just an ordinary story, but the two listened attentively with much interest. "Miss Everleigh." Hilda held a plate of fruits in her hand as she looked at Everleigh, who was standing at the door.

"Hilda, pour me a glass of lemonade." She ate a little too much that night, thus she wanted to drink it for better digestion.

"Mommy, you are back." Adrienne ran over, hugged her legs, and raised her chubby face.

"Yes, I'm back and I brought you some snacks." Everleigh raised the bag in her hand. Saniogo asked her to bring it back. He said that children would like it very much and that he would buy them new snacks next time.

She didn't say anything and took it home.

Hilda put the snacks on the plate for them to have a taste.

Abraham noticed that Everleigh's face was full of smiles and asked, "It seems like the problem has been solved."

"No, I even ran into some trouble. Dad, I'll go up and make a call."

"Okay." He didn't ask further questions. Theodore's methods were tough. Even if he was in trouble, it wouldn't cause any huge impact on him.

Everleigh called Cecil as soon as she returned to her room. The first thing Cecil said when she answered the phone was, "You only remember me when you are in trouble."

"You saw the news, didn't you? Aren't you worried about me?" Everleigh asked, pretending to be angry.

However, Cecil wasn't going to let her off the hook. She said coolly, "It's not that you are in trouble; it's Theodore who is. It's not even been a day or two, but he's gotten in trouble. Why should I call you?"

Hearing her words, Everleigh was speechless. Cecil didn't like him, just like she didn't like Leon.

"Everleigh, the new company has been established. You have your status there and I'm happy for you, but you can't do anything for him."

"It's me who developed the medicine, thus if something happens, I'm the one who will be held responsible. Cecil, the situation this time is different. The old lady who caused trouble this morning has died. Except for us, the outsiders still don't know about it. Once they know, Theodore will become a murderer," Everleigh said in a heavy tone.

Cecil listened to her and was silent for a long time before she asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I want to ask your brother for help. The old lady had a fight before she died. I know that their team has equipment that can be used to look into the matter. I want to..." Before she finished her words, Cecil said angrily, "It's all for Theodore again."

"Then, are you going to help him or not?" Everleigh asked helplessly.

"I'll ask him later," Cecil answered quickly this

time.

Her help this time was for Everleigh's sake. Otherwise, would Theodore ever be worth her help?

"The sooner, the better. I'm worried that the person is already running away. It'll be hard to find him."

"Got it," Cecil said and hung up the phone.
