Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 76

Theodore's seafood allergy was something that Everleigh had known when she was still in high school. Later on, when she was enrolled in Ocpeace Medical University, she had even done research on how to counter the allergic effects. To this end, she had conducted a few experiments on Theodore, somehow tormenting him in the process. However, the research bore no fruitful results.

Sometimes, a memory of the past was like a thorn in the heart. If you left it untouched for a long time, you will think that it is no longer there. But if you accidentally come across it, it will hurt you to no end.

Everleigh and Theodore did not speak to each other. The whole room was so quiet as if the whole world had gone silent.

Suddenly, the ringtone of a mobile phone broke the stagnant atmosphere. Everleigh held the phone in a hurry and went out to answer the call. She looked as if she had been granted amnesty. Even from her back, her panic was obvious.

"Hello?"

The call was from Stainley. He said, "Everleigh, have you found the children? Where are you now?" 'Yes, I've found them. We're now having lunch.' "I see. That's great then. I was thinking of having lunch with you, but I wasn't expecting Erica to cause a ruckus. I hope you were not shaken by her."

"I'm fine. I think Shawn was more shaken than me. Can you help me apologize to him? I'll treat him to a meal when I come back to the university," Everleigh said as she felt sorry.

"Sure, no problem. How about this evening? Do you have anything to do in the evening? I think I'm almost done with my job at the university. Why don't we visit the zoo?" Stainley suggested just then.

Everleigh had promised Adrienne and Alastair that she would take them to the zoo this weekend, but since Stainley had mentioned the alumni gathering, the plan had been delayed indefinitely. She had thought the event would have taken one whole day. Luckily, it ended early by the afternoon, and there was nothing much left to do. She could leave if she wanted to.

"The zoo?" Everleigh hesitated for a moment and looked out of a window at the corridor. The darkening clouds showed hints of changing weather. She replied, "Let's make it another day. I think it's going to rain soon."

She recalled the weather forecast predicted that it would rain when she had left her home earlier that day.

"Okay. Give me a call when you're home."

"Sure."

Just as Everleigh ended the call, a waiter conveniently walked past her while carrying the seafood platter that they had ordered. It was summer, thus looking at the cold seafood only made it appear even more refreshing.

Everleigh's emotions were mixed, as if her heart was feeling something inexplicable.

Meanwhile, in the room.

Adrienne was eating sea urchin with a spoon. When Theodore put another portion of sea urchin on a plate in front of Alastair, Adrienne shook her head and said, "Daddy, Alastair can't eat sea urchin. He'll grow red dots if he does."

Hearing this, Theodore's eyes narrowed as he studied Alastair.

Allergy was a hereditary trait.

Just then, Everleigh opened the door and entered the room. When she returned to sit down next to Adrienne, she raised her head and saw Theodore sizing her up with a probing gaze.

"What's the matter?" Everleigh was lost at what Theodore was doing.

"Is Alastair also allergic to seafood?"

The word "also" made Everleigh's face slightly stiff.

She could not be certain if Theodore was indeed the father of her children. However, sometimes, some small details made her more feel inclined to believe that the man was their father.

For example, Alastair and Theodore shared an uncanny resemblance. They shared the same personality. Both of them hated talking and their tastes were similar. They were even allergic to the same thing.

Nevertheless, in the end, these were all a mental hint. It was fine if she was to convince herself, but the thought of explaining face- to-face with Theodore was a different story. She simply lacked the confidence to do so.

"Yes." Everleigh avoided Theodore's gaze and said, "It's not very serious. Many children are allergic to seafood now. I heard it'll get better as they grow older."
