Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 182

Theodore's kiss was extremely violent. Even though Everleigh clenched her teeth, she couldn't resist his raging attack. The heartwrenching pain caused by his grip on her chin caused her to cry out in pain. In an instant, she collapsed into a state of despair.

The air quickly became thin. The more she struggled, the faster her energy was consumed. However, Theodore didn't show any mercy to her. The kiss, with a sense of warning and punishment, lasted so long that it made her suffocate.

After a long time, the shadow in front of her faded a little and there was a buzzing sound in her ear.

"Everleigh, listen, I don't just want you to draw a clear line from Yvonne. I also want you to draw a clear line from the Meyer family and draw a clear line from Christopher."

The man's thin and cold voice contained his remaining anger, and every word was slammed against Everleigh's eardrums with great force. There was no doubt about it.

Everleigh's back was wet with cold sweat. She leaned against the door to avoid falling down. Her chest was heaving violently and her rapid breathing made her almost unable to speak.

"On what... On what basis..."

"On what basis?" Theodore stared at her. "Are you really married to Christopher?"

There was no intention behind an inquiry of that assured tone. It was obvious that he already knew the answer in his heart.

Everleigh's heart skipped a beat and she suddenly stopped breathing. After a long while, she stammered and asked, "The people of the Meyer family all approved of it. How could it be fake?"

Her reaction, to Theodore, further verified his speculation. After a subtle expression was suppressed in his deep eyes, he let go of her.

"Really? Since you're married, why do you sleep in separate rooms?"

The previous night at the Meyer family's villa, while Everleigh was cooking in the kitchen, Theodore accompanied Adrienne upstairs to get something. Adrienne was talkative and she introduced the rooms to him along the way.

"This is Mommy's room. That's Christopher's room. Alastair and I are in this room..."

Adrienne's words were unintentional, but Theodore read his own meaning into it.

Theodore scanned Everleigh's face and saw how helpless she was. "Don't tell me that it's just a short quarrel between you two. It's not just at home. You guys never slept in the same room while you were abroad, right?"

Adrienne had exposed it all.

Children were naive and didn't know that in a real family, parents generally slept in the same room. Adrienne didn't even understand the fact that Everleigh and Christopher living together meant that they were married. Moreover, she was more accustomed to calling Christopher by his name instead of "Daddy".

Everleigh's mind went blank. She didn't know if the kiss just now had drained her strength, or if Theodore's question was too real that it caught her off guard. She didn't know what to say.

"Nothing to say?" Theodore stared at her, unwilling to let go of every single change in her expression.

"So what?" Everleigh clenched her fist and her eyes gradually turned cold. "What does my marriage have to do with you? What's the point of you saying this? Do you want me to get divorced and be with you?"

The word "divorce" echoed in the large office.

Theodore's expression tensed up suddenly. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Everleigh, however, had calmed down and pulled herself away from the door behind her. She stood up straight in front of Theodore and said with self-deprecation, "I know my place. No matter what, it's impossible for the president of the Godfrey Group to marry a woman who has been divorced with two children."

Even if Theodore had Everleigh in his heart, it was only an obsession of seven years, mixed with a little bit of self- pity. It was nothing compared to the pride of the Godfrey family.

"Please don't interfere in my affairs in the future."

With this sentence, she opened the door and forced herself to walk out.

"How do you know that it's impossible?"

The voice behind her was cold and powerful, which made her stop on the carpet. For a moment, she couldn't move, as if she was glued to the floor.

Until she heard some footsteps behind her, she released the handle of the door immediately and walked towards the elevator hurriedly. She didn't even look back along the way, and it seemed that she was in a hurry to escape from something.

On the way back to the hospital, all she thought about were the words that Theodore had said to her.

"How do you know that it's impossible?"

How was it possible?

It didn't matter whether her marriage with Christopher was real or fake. Even if Theodore guessed that it was just a marriage of convenience, or if he didn't care whether she was married to someone else, she wouldn't be able to marry him.

Even if he was willing to marry her, the Godfrey family would not allow her to enter the family. Moreover, the Meyer family would also be involved in this matter.

For three days in a row, Everleigh hid herself from Theodore. Even when she went to the VIP ward to give Helen an examination, she would always ask the nurse on duty in advance if Theodore was there, then avoided him.

It was already evening. In the VIP ward, Moses stood respectfully at the dining table.

"This was what happened. That day, Dr. Trevino rushed into Mr. Godfrey's office aggressively and her expression was very ugly. They had a big fight."

On the side of the dining table, Adrienne had two buns on her head. She put a strawberry in her mouth with her hand and mumbled, "No wonder Mommy was unhappy when she came back that day! Her expression was still dark when she saw Ace."

Helen looked at Adrienne lovingly and did not seem anxious at all. She smiled and said, "This is natural for a relationship, isn't it? Who doesn't quarrel in a relationship?"

After that, she pushed the fruit plate in front of her to the opposite side. "Adrienne, have some cherries."

Adrienne swallowed the fruit in her mouth and shook her head repeatedly. "No, no, no. My belly is already like a ball. I can't eat anymore, Great-Grandma."

"Take them home with you later if you can't eat anymore."

"Great-Grandma, Mommy and Daddy are still quarreling. They won't meet. What should we do?"

"Don't worry." Helen had a well-thought-out look on her face. "In a few days' time, I will celebrate my birthday. As my doctor, your Mommy has to accompany me all the time. Then, they'll have a chance to meet, won't they?"

Upon hearing this, Adrienne's eyes lit up. "Really!"

"Of course." Helen sent the cherry into Adrienne's mouth lovingly. Adrienne opened her mouth immediately, and took a bite of it with a smile that was sweeter than honey.

Meanwhile, Everleigh finished her work and came over to pick up the two children.

She chatted simply with Helen. Because she was still under conservative treatment at present, as long as Helen cooperated with her and took the medicine, there would be no big problems.

"Grandma, I'll take them away first. Please rest early."

"Okay, go ahead, and thank you for your hard work, Everleigh."

Watching Everleigh leave, Helen was very satisfied.

Everleigh was neither stingy nor pushy, and she was obviously well-educated. She was much more generous than those who came from the Bailey family.

The sun was setting.

On the way out of the hospital, Adrienne stuck to the window and her big eyes were blinking. "Mommy, this is not the way home. Did you drive the wrong way?"

Everleigh glanced at her through the rearview mirror. "Nope. Sit still and don't simply move around. We're going to the airport."

"Why are we going to the airport for? Are we going back to Maniville?" Adrienne looked as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

"Of course not. We're going to pick somebody up."

"Who is it?!"

Thinking of the person she was going to pick up, Everleigh said with a smile, "Your godmother."
