Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 94

"Everleigh, what do you want to know?"

"What do you know?"

Perhaps it was because of the lighting in the restaurant, but William's face turned pale inexplicably as if mentioning this was a very difficult thing for him. It was clear that Everleigh did not put any pressure on him, since what she'd said was perfectly normal.

William picked up his cup and took a sip of water. He seemed to be trying to calm himself down.

"It was after that night that... that you had your child, right?"

Everleigh did not deny it, nor did she admit it.

In William's eyes, such an attitude was a tacit admission.

He instantly showed an apologetic expression and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked this."

For people like William, if you did not put a knife on his neck to force him to speak, he would never admit that he had made a mistake. He would only sit wildly on the edge and use irrelevant words to escape from reality.

Everleigh was a little impatient and asked bluntly, "William, did that matter have something to do with you?"

Since he knew what had happened to her that year, then let's put the biggest crime on his head directly. When people were wronged, it was the easiest for them to reveal their flaws. It was like a thief who refused to admit his theft. If you said that he had killed someone, he would probably jump out and say that he had only stolen something.

One must always choose the lesser of two evils.

Sure enough, William's face changed immediately, "No, it has nothing to do with me."

"Did you drug me?"

"Of course not. How is that possible? Am I mad or something?"

"Then how do you know what happened back then?"

"That night..." William tightly clenched his cup and trembled slightly, and the surface of the water was shaking. "I just passed by that night. I only happened to pass by. Really, I didn't expect that you would encounter such a thing. I was the only one. I dared not interfere, because there were too many people."

The phrase "too many people" struck Everleigh's eardrums like a needle. There was no trace of the piercing, but pain pierced her nerves.

Her eyebrows twitched violently, as if it was a conditional reflex, and her whole body went stiff.

Indeed, there were many people. Although she was drugged that day, in her vague memory, there were many people walking toward her. Tall, short, fat, and thin, there were all kinds of people. She had remembered four or five faces, which she couldn't get rid of in her nightmares for seven years.

She forced herself to calm down, but her voice was dry and hoarse. "Passing by? Really?"

"I really was just passing by, Everleigh, you have to believe me. I really like you. How could I possibly do something like that to you? That day, I made a bet with my classmate and said that I was going to confess my love to you..."

Seven years ago, at the graduation party of Ocpeace Medical University's Foreign Language Department, William, as the president of the school's Public Relations Department, was also invited to the party. Initially, he did not want to go, but he went there when heard that Everleigh had accompanied her best friend to the party.

Before they went to the party, the boys in the dormitory laughed at him saying he was a coward. He had not officially confessed his love to Everleigh even after four years of liking her. After a year, she would graduate. If she did not stay at school for her PhD, he would really have no chance.

William was not easily provoked, but probably because of the emotion of graduation, he made a solemn bet that he would confess to her with his roommate that night.

At the graduation party of the Foreign Language Department, he wanted to talk to Everleigh alone several times, but he failed. When he was at the closest with her, it was because of nervousness that he accidentally knocked over the juice in her hand.

"I thought of a lot of words and even typed out drafts. But you were with your best friend almost the entire time at the graduation party. I didn't have a chance."

William's voice grew more and more muffled.

Everleigh didn't know how trustworthy his words were, but he was one of the few people who could talk to her about the details of the graduation party seven years ago. No matter how uncomfortable she was, she had to force herself to listen.
