Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 77

The August weather in Ocpeace City was unpredictable. Dark clouds finally covered the scorching sun, but it felt hotter instead.

Adrienne insisted on having Theodore in the car with her, leaving Everleigh with no choice but to bring him along.

"Daddy, let's take the same car. Mommy's car is very nice." Adrienne held Theodore's hand, acting like a spoilt child at the entrance of the restaurant. No one would be able to resist her when she was behaving like that.

Theodore was helpless so he ordered Moses to drive his car home.

Everleigh smiled hesitantly and asked, "Um, do you want to think about it again? Are you sure you want to take my car?"

Theodore sensed the underlying meaning in Everleigh's question, but he willingly ignored it. His face darkened as he asked in return, "Why the worry? How expensive is your car? Do you think I can't afford a ride in it?"

"That's not what I mean." Everleigh did not know how to explain it. "Forget it, do as you like. Don't blame me later on. I've reminded you already."

Everleigh's car was still at Ocpeace Medical University. Everleigh and Theodore each held one child as they went looking for the car on the campus. When they finally found it, Theodore understood why Everleigh was so awkward just a moment ago.

The small Mini Cooper car had three doors and for Theodore whose height was 185 cm, it was going to take some effort for him to even get inside.

"Why don't you drive your own car?" Everleigh asked in embarrassment.

The two children had already climbed into the back seat with ease. Adrienne was waving at Theodore in the car and said, "Daddy, get in the car. It's so hot outside."

Theodore glanced at Everleigh, unbuttoned his suit, and then got into the car.

Everleigh did not say anything much as Theodore had gotten into her car without making any remarks. She hopped in the driver's seat and turned on the ignition.

The tiny white car drove out of Ocpeace Medical University and entered Rocham Street as soon as it left the entrance. The corners of Everleigh's eyes peered at Theodore as she said, "Is it too narrow for you? Feel free to adjust the seat."

"No need." Theodore's brows furrowed. He remained silent for a few seconds before he asked, "Why did you buy this car?"

"I bought it from my friend since it was cheaper that way.'

The truth about the car was not as simple as Everleigh had said, but she was too lazy to explain it. The real reason she had bought the car was that she was cheated by Christopher. She would not have bought it if only he did not claim it was a used car.

Theodore's brows seemed to have furrowed even further. "Are you short on cash?"

"No, I'm doing fine. It's just that I need to pay for my children's education, so I have to save wherever I can."

At the mention of the children, a hint of concern flashed across Theodore's eyes.

It was not easy to raise a child for a normal family. Things only got more complicated if the parent was a single mother taking care of two children all by herself.

Nonetheless, Theodore did not probe further.

The car reached the zoo after a half- hour journey. The skies were darker now, but there was still no rain.

A long queue had formed just outside of the ticketing booth. It was Saturday and many parents took the opportunity to bring their children out for a breather.

Everleigh rushed towards the booth and said, "Hi, please give me two adult tickets and two children tickets."

The employee at the booth eyed her and asked, "Why don't you just get a family pass instead?"

"Excuse me? Family pass?" Everleigh was shaken.

'The family pass allows access to the zoo and also a 30-minute boat ride. It's only 299 dollars. Don't you think it's more worth it than buying the tickets separately?"

Theodore stood next to her, with Adrienne sitting in the crook of his arms. Everleigh wanted to buy the family pass, but she was too awkward to say it out loud. People queued behind were starting to grow impatient.

"What's taking you so long?"
