Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 59

Alastair put down his binoculars and reluctantly squatted down to look at his sister. He said patiently, "I know you care about Mommy's love life, but that doesn't mean you should be reckless."

"I'm not reckless!" Adrienne pursed her lips and said, "Alastair, you are always like this. You think I don't understand anything, but I think Daddy likes Mommy. Otherwise, why would he play with us?"

"Do you know that Mommy and Theodore used to date?"

Adrienne was stunned. "What? Mommy and Daddy used to date?"

Alastair nodded. "But now they are separated. Do you know why?"

Adrienne shook her head.

How could she know? She was not even aware that they were together.

Alastair sat down beside her and said, "It's complicated. You won't understand even if I explain it to you. In short, there are misunderstandings between them that you can't solve."

"Is it very complicated?" Adrienne frowned and muttered, "Why do adults have so many complicated issues? Can't you be together if you like each other?¹ "That's why they're adults," Alastair said as he combed his sister's fringe on her forehead. "Do you want to eat ice cream?"

Adrienne was still sulking with her brother, but when she heard "ice cream," she began to waver. After a while, she gritted her teeth and spat out a word spinelessly. "Yes."

When Everleigh arrived home, her children were in the living room.

The brother was typing something on his laptop, while the sister was holding a tub of ice cream with a happy look on her face.

"Why are you eating ice cream? Alastair, didn't I ask you to watch her? If you eat too much, you will have a stomachache." Everleigh changed her shoes and went into the house.

Adrienne's face was very cheeky. "I didn't eat a lot today. This was the first bite."

"I don't believe you," Everleigh rolled her eyes at her and said, "You can have two more bites before putting the ice cream back into the fridge, or you won't get to eat it anymore tomorrow. I'll keep an eye on you at home tomorrow."

"Ah!" Adrienne blinked. "Mommy, are you not going to work tomorrow?"

"Yes, I'm not going to work, and I won't be going for a while."

When Alastair heard that Everleigh was not going to work, he immediately looked up from behind his laptop and saw the bandages around Everleigh's hand. He straightened up and asked, "Mommy, are you injured?"

Adrienne stopped eating ice cream and followed her brother's gaze. As expected, she saw Everleigh's right hand with bandages. Her face changed at once. "Mommy, your hand."

"I'm fine. I'm just injured. I'll be fine after resting for a few days."

Everleigh did not care much about it. Anyway, she did not want to go back to that production project. She would rather stay at home than deal with Selena causing trouble for her daily.

She made up her mind. If the hospital in the city was still not going to let her come back to work, she would apply to be transferred back to the hospital overseas and no longer consider staying in Ocpeace City.

"Mommy!" Adrienne put down the ice cream and ran towards her. She was not even wearing her slippers. When she ran to her, her eyes turned red. "Mommy, does it hurt?"

Although this little girl always caused trouble for Everleigh, tears immediately streamed down her face the moment she saw that Everleigh was injured. She could not be coaxed.
