Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 68

The sunset cast a brilliant glow on the horizon.

As Everleigh had yet to formally return to her duties, she decided to go home early. She was going to stop at a bakery on her way home before sunset to buy some of Adrienne's favorite doughnuts.

"Hi, I'll take two doughnuts please, to take away."

"Sure, one moment please."

The waiter was packing the doughnuts inside. Everleigh bent down and looked at the cake in the showcase window. The strawberry cake was as tempting as when she was a child and the bright colors made her eyes light up.

"Hi, I'll take the strawberry cake. Takeaway, please." A familiar voice came from beside Everleigh, taking her by surprise. She raised her head and saw Stainley standing next to her.

"Why are you here?" She stood up straight in surprise.

Stainley smiled and said, "I was just passing by and saw your car coming in."

Everleigh subconsciously took a look outside. Her car was parked outside the cake shop, not far away from Stainley's car. She scratched her head and said in embarrassment, "That's really a coincidence."

"I heard that you've been back to work? Are you going to work tomorrow?"

"Well." When it came to this, Everleigh was in a good mood, "It's all thanks to Dr. Harrison."

"Dr. Harrison thinks highly of you and he's always proud of you."

"No," Everleigh smiled and said, "It's more like I'm the student who gave him the most headaches."

As the pair were chatting, a waiter's voice came from the back of the counter, "Miss, here are your doughnuts. Sir, here's your cake."

"Thank you."

Everleigh took the bag and turned around. She saw that Stainley was handing the bag of the strawberry cake to her and looked at her with a smile.

"Is this for me?"

"What else do you think? I don't like eating sweet food. Here, you can have it."

"Well, I'm going to take it. Thanks a bunch! I'll buy you a coffee next time." Everleigh took the cake.

They walked out of the shop side by side. Stainley said, "If you really want to thank me, why don't you join me in Ocpeace Medical University's alumni event next week? Professors of the university are asking me to go back and give a lecture. I'm going to talk about how a pandemic spreads. I'll also talk about the virus that we fought in the past."

"This Saturday?"

"What's wrong? Do you have something to do?"

"I promised to bring my children to the zoo on that day." Everleigh hesitated for a while and said with a smile, "It's okay, I should be able to do it on Saturday. I'll bring them to the zoo on Sunday. They'll tag along with me to the university on Saturday."

"Okay, it's settled then."

After that, the two separated at the door of the bakery, and Everleigh drove away first.

It was the evening and Stainley stood at the roadside, staring at the back of the car for a long time with a gentle gaze.
