Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 73

The word "Daddy" attracted onlookers' attention towards a figure standing nearby.

Adrienne had almost bounced up from her bench and dashed towards the figure who was standing behind Alastair. The person acted naturally by crouching down and welcomed the little girl in his embrace.

"Daddy, why are you here?"

Theodore was about to ask Adrienne the same question, but when he raised his head and saw no traces of any adult guardian around, he picked her up instead. "Are you only with Alastair?"

Theodore was a guest at the university's foreign language department. He had just wrapped up his speech when he and his assistant passed by the backstreet.

People at the fruit stall did not doubt Theodore's relationship with the children. Perhaps it was due to his smooth actions with Adrienne and his good looks resembled very much Alastair's.

The owner of the fruit stall couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder the kids are so adorable. It runs in their blood."

"Mommy asked me to wait for her here with Alastair," Adrienne said while she was being held in Theodore's arms. Sunlight bathed on her small and pink face, making her look even more lovable.

Upon hearing this, Theodore's brows furrowed slightly.

How careless of Everleigh to leave her children alone!

Not long after that, Alastair walked towards Theodore from the fruit stall and greeted him politely, "Theodore."

Theodore nodded and asked, "How long have you been waiting here?"

"Half an hour."

"Half an hour?" Theodore's frown deepened.

Moses, the assistant next to him, said in surprise, "Dr. Trevino is too careless. How could she leave her children here for half an hour? What if someone were to kidnap them?"

Theodore raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was almost 12 o'clock. He then asked the two children, "Are you hungry? I'll take you two for lunch."

"Okay! I want ice cream! Blueberry flavor!" Adrienne's eyes were burning with excitement.

"No, we shouldn't do that. Mommy's almost here. She told us to wait for her here," Alastair's expression was that of a serious adult as he spoke.

"But I'm hungry!" Adrienne looked aggrieved. "And it's so hot here! There are so many people!"

Alastair could not be bothered to expose the fact that Adriene had gobbled down a bunch of fruits just a moment ago, or that she was already full, as evident when she was rubbing her tummy. He also did not show any hint of agreeing to have lunch with Theodore.

Moses checked the time and reminded, "Mr. Godfrey, the headmaster is waiting for you."

Days during August were long and hot, with the sun emanating its unforgiving and scorching sunlight. Theodore was still worried about leaving the children alone at the backstreet.

He turned to his Moses and instructed, "I'll go and look for the headmaster. You should take them both for lunch."

Moses was dumbstruck for a moment before he replied with a nod, "Yes."

After that, Theodore turned towards Alastair and explained, "I'll give your mother a call and send her the address of the restaurant. Don't worry, she will find you there."

Alastair was more mature when compared to his innocent sister, Adrienne. He was not a child who could be easily fooled.

If he had not already known Theodore, he would never agree to the man's suggestion. Even if Theodore was well- acquainted with Everleigh, he wasn't pleased to let the man have a further connection with Madison.

Alastair was about to turn down Theodore's offer again when Adrienne was already happily following Moses away.

"Adrienne!" Alastair could not stop her, so he decided to go after her.

Theodore walked in the opposite direction towards the headmaster's office. Along the way, he took out his phone and called Everleigh.
