Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 49

Theodore took the candy from her without saying anything.

Everleigh retracted her hand slowly, flexing her fingers. She could not help but feel like she must have been mistaken and that she must have imagined Theodore taking the candy from her. There was no way he did.

In the backseat, Alastair looked at the scenery outside the window and suddenly asked, "Is your house nearby?"

Theodore said, "Not really."

His words made Everleigh, who was helping Adrienne wipe her mouth, freeze.

Since he did not live nearby, why did he come all the way here to shop? Plus, he knew she lived close by.

However, it did not look like he was about to explain himself.

The car soon arrived at their apartment.

After arriving home, Everleigh went into the kitchen to pour a cup of tea for him, saying, "Have some tea. I'll start cooking now."

"Okay."

After Everleigh entered the kitchen, Theodore looked around. The place looked messier since the last time he visited. Everleight must have been working a lot and had no time to tidy up.

"Daddy, have some ice cream!"

A sweet voice reached his ears, pulling him back to his senses.

Theodore turned around and saw that Adrienne opened the newly bought ice cream. She scoped out a very generous spoonful and was offering it to him. Any heart would melt at the sight of how adorable she was.

At that moment, he felt that he would be pleased to have a daughter like her.

Everleigh's silhouette in the kitchen was busy cooking, and the noise of the children playing in the living room filled the air. The balcony door was opened slightly and the evening wind swept up the curtains, revealing the beautiful evening sky.

Sometimes, people wanted the simple things in life.

Half an hour later, Everleigh served the dishes onto the table.

All of them sat around the small table. Theodore looked at the dishes in front of him and asked, "Is this what you meant when you said that you could cook?"

On the table, the only thing that looked edible was the boiled prawns. Everything else was unrecognizable. All of it looked like it was just a black lump.

"As long as it's cooked." Everleigh's face was slightly stiff, and she waved her utensils around. "Let's eat. We have vegetables and meat. That's good enough."

Adrienne raised her hand to cover her mouth so Everleigh could not hear her. She whispered to Theodore, "I told you, don't expect much from Mommy's cooking. It's terrible."

"Adrienne, what did you say?" Everleigh asked, with a hint of warning in her voice.

Adrienne stuck out her tongue at Theodore and then covered her mouth to deny, "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything."

Theodore grabbed his utensils, tapped on one of the plates, and asked, "What's this?"

Everleigh took a look at it and exclaimed proudly, "It's eggplant."

It was just a black lump. Judging from the looks of it, it could be easily mistaken as some sort of dipping sauce.

Theodore frowned and tapped on another dish. "What about this?"

"Fried eggs."
