Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 46

Madison's words felt like a basin of cold water was being splashed over Everleigh's head. Until today, she could still remember the cup of cold water that Madison had splashed on her face at the cafe opposite her university.

Everleigh clenched her fist and turned around with a sneer. "Mrs. Godfrey, since you know everything so well, you should have known that the Trevino family drove me out. Now that the Trevino family has nothing to do with me, why should I care about what you said?"

"You don't even care about your father?"

"My father no longer recognizes me as his daughter. Your words don't mean anything to me."

Madison almost could not believe her ears. "I can't believe Theodore fell for such an unfilial daughter like you!"

Everleigh remained calm as if nothing could affect her. "Mrs. Godfrey, I'm not interested in your son at all. You don't have to threaten me in any way. A sensible person will not repeat a life that's been lived before. I understand this concept well enough."

Leaving these words for her to ponder on, she left the parking lot without looking back.

It was not until the elevator doors closed that Everleigh grabbed onto the handle for support.

Her face suddenly turned pale, and her lips were white.

She knew very well what kind of person Mrs. Godfrey was.

Seven years ago, to force Theodore home and inherit the Godfrey Group, she went straight to their college to humiliate her. At that time, she endured it because she was Theodore's mother. Back then, she was telling her to break up with Theodore, which was something that would never happen.

It was also because of this that Mrs. Godfrey despised her. Until now, she still did.

Everleigh left the parking lot and did not return to the production crew. She called the crew to take a day off, took a bus back to the city, and closed the door as soon as she got home.

In the living room, Adrienne was squatting in front of the refrigerator to get ice cream. When she saw Everleigh come back out of the blue, she was scared to death, but Everleigh went straight into the house, not noticing her.

She exchanged a look with her brother.

"Alastair, why is Mommy back so early?"

"I don't know." Alastair's delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed. He looked at the closed door and said thoughtfully, "Mommy seems to be in a bad mood."

Adrienne put the ice cream back into the refrigerator silently. "Then I won't eat ice cream anymore."

"It's not because of you."

"Then, why?"

"It should be work. Mommy seems to be very tired recently. Adrienne, be a good girl and don't go out often. Don't bother Mommy."

Adrienne sighed deeply like an adult and said, "Well, I want to make Mommy happy."

After that, she looked at the door thoughtfully, and her dark round eyes sparkled like the stars.

In the bedroom, Everleigh laid down on her pillow. She felt like her mind was in a mess in one second, then completely blank in another.

Mrs. Godfrey was only a small part of the reason for her break up with Theodore that year. She was a negligible factor.

Back then, she was still young and naive, and she felt that love could conquer all. Since she and Theodore were in love, she thought nothing could come between them, not even Mrs. Godfrey.

So even if the cup of water was splashed on her face, and even though Mrs. Godfrey had humiliated her in such a way, she was still determined not to break up with him.

Where was her courage now? She seemed to have lost it.
