Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 184

Everleigh's fingers, which were holding the contract, slightly tightened and her eyes were almost glued to where the signature was.

The words, "Moses Lawson" were very conspicuous in the signature column at the lower right corner of the contract.

It was Theodore's assistant, Moses.

If Everleigh hadn't seen Moses' signature on Helen's hospital registration form, she would have thought that Moses was just someone with the same name as him, but it was obviously not the case now.

Her memory was excellent. The signature was exactly the same as that on the hospital's registration form, which meant that the jewelry order of one hundred million dollars that was received by Cecil was made by Theodore's assistant, Moses.

Cecil had to fix the set of jewelry overnight, so Everleigh and the two children ordered dinner to be delivered to her store and she told Cecil about it during dinner.

"Gag!" Cecil choked on a mouthful of soup, "Ahem, Ahem... Who?"

"Slow down." Everleigh quickly handed over a tissue. "Don't be so anxious."

"Theodore?" Cecil's eyes widened. She immediately bounced up from her chair and said in a loud voice, "You said that the person who wants to buy this jewelry is Theodore?"

"Shh! Lower your voice," Everleigh grabbed Cecil's arm and pulled her to make her sit down. She glanced at the inner room from the corner of her eyes.

The two children were curious about jewelry, so two shop assistants brought them in to Play-

Cecil sat down in the chair with her arms crossed, and she said angrily, "I get very angry when I hear this name. You know that the biggest reason I don't want to stay in Ocpeace City is because of him. We see each other all the time."

"What's the big deal? Ocpeace City is not big, but it's not small either."

"Who knows? Enemies would always meet. We have met several times at jewelry exhibition fairs. He brought Josephine with him every time, and I feel nauseous seeing them."

Everleigh forced a smile.

Josephine was Theodore's fiancee, so it was normal for her to be with him.

"If I had known earlier that he was the one who ordered it, I..."

"So what if you knew?" Everleigh comforted her, "Fortunately, you didn't know. If you knew, you'd be in a difficult position. After all, it's an order of 100 million dollars. Don't affect your business because of me."

"What are you thinking?" Cecil raised her eyebrows, gnashed her teeth and said, "If I had known that it was he who made the order, I would have charged him ten times the price. It's such a waste not asking for more!"

Looking at Cecil's regretful look, Everleigh was speechless and she silently rolled her eyes. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"There is no good man in the world. They all like the new and loathe the old." Cecil wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth and suddenly thought of something. "No wait, how did you know that Moses is Theodore's assistant?"

Everleigh was eating and her heart skipped a beat when she heard that question. When she looked up at Cecil, she smiled guiltily and said, "Well, it's a long story..."

After ten minutes, Cecil's expression had changed many times. In the end, her expression was dark and she looked so angry that she couldn't speak. If a fortune- teller passed by, he would confidently say that her ophryon had blackened and there would be bloodshed.

"Please drink some water and calm down. Calm down," Everleigh said as she pushed the cup across fawningly.

"Don't do this to me." Cecil was exasperated. "If he didn't treat you like that at that time, would you quarrel with your father and go abroad alone despite being pregnant? Has he not caused you enough suffering?"

Everleigh looked in the direction of the inner room with a gloomy expression and said, "I insisted on giving birth to the children. It has nothing to do with him."

"Come on, forget about Adrienne, but for Alastair, it's like his face was torn from Theodore's face. Do you dare say that he's not Theodore's son?"

"What if he's not?"

"There's no 'what if." Cecil's face was full of certainty. "If you don't believe me, bring the two children to Theodore and let him take a look. He'll definitely be able to recognize them at a glance."

Seeing that Everleigh was silent, Cecil asked, "He has seen them already, hasn't he?"

"Hmm."

"Hmm? What does that mean? Didn't he recognize Alastair?"

Everleigh reluctantly nodded and had a self-deprecating look.

Initially, Theodore had suspected that the two children were related to him, but for some reason, he gave up on that idea. In any case, he didn't recognize them.

"F*ck," Cecil dropped her spoon and said, "What a fool! Are those eyes simply for decoration on his face? Is there something wrong with his brain? Does he have the brain of a goose?"

Looking at Cecil's angry expression, Everleigh felt a little helpless.

Over the past few years, the name "Theodore" wasn't much of a taboo with her, but in terms of Cecil, he had become a topic that couldn't be mentioned. When it came to her, she was like a firecracker. She could curse for three days and nights in a row without stopping.

"Does it mean that you are now working as an attending physician for his grandmother? Won't you two meet everyday?"

"Not really." While eating the food on her plate, Everleigh said, "We haven't seen each other for several days. He won't come to the hospital everyday, but I have to see him in two days."

"You have to meet? Why?"

"I have to return the dog to him."

"A dog? What dog?"

"Oh, Leo..." Everleigh's words were at the tip of her tongue. She suddenly thought of something and changed course abruptly. "He left his dog at my house during the weekend."

Cecil snorted and sneered. "The Godfrey family doesn't even have the space to keep dogs, and they are keeping dogs in your house? Are you kidding me?"

Everleigh looked at Cecil and was relieved to see that she didn't notice anything. She put a chicken wing onto Cecil's plate and said with lingering fear, "The main thing is that Alastair and Adrienne like him. I've had the dog for two days but he'll be returned soon."

Other than the name 'Theodore', which caused her hair to stand on end, there was another name that absolutely couldn't be mentioned in front of Cecil even if one was getting beaten till death: Leon.

What level of taboo was this? Everleigh once suspected that more than half of Cecil's hatred for Theodore was actually due to his cousin, Leon.

Cecil's apartment was above the jewelry store. After she took the two children upstairs to let them sleep, Everleigh helped Cecil in the workshop downstairs.

The necklace on the table was designed with green gems as the center. Most of the diamonds around were not broken diamonds. Any one of them was worth a lot and they each shone so brightly they could almost blind a person.

Cecil was wearing transparent protective glasses, holding tools in her hand, and talking under the bright light. "The customer said that this chain is for an old lady for her birthday. It should be his grandmother, right?"

Everleigh came back to her senses and replied, "Yes, his grandmother's birthday is coming in a couple of days. They're going to hold a birthday party at the Swallow Manor." "She has been hospitalized because of her heart disease, so why are they still putting on such a show?" Cecil raised her head and asked, "Then as her attending physician, shouldn't you be attending?"

Everleigh nodded and said, "Yes, it's fine as long as I'm present. I don't necessarily have to attend the banquet."

Cecil took off her glasses and said, "I'll go with you."

"You want to go?" Everleigh was stunned and looked up with a dumbfounded expression.
