Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 139

"I had something urgent to do therefore I left first. You, Mommy and Alastair have a good meal together. I'll visit you when I have time." "Well, okay."

Leon looked as though he had seen a ghost when he saw Theodore's patience when he was on the phone.

The phone call did not last long. After Theodore hung up, Leon could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth. "Your life seems to be more exciting than I thought. Where did the kid pop up from? How old is she?"

"Everleigh's daughter, Adrienne." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Leon breathed a sigh of relief. Before his breath fully subsided, he thought about it and said, "Wait, then why did her daughter call you 'daddy'?"

Theodore frowned.

It was a long story that could not be explained in just a sentence or two.

"Wait a minute." Leon suddenly thought of something. "You just said that it was Aunt Madison who threatened Everleigh to leave Ocpeace City seven years ago. If she did not cheat on you, then the two children of hers are...

His gaze fell on Theodore's face and he hesitated for a long time. "They can't be yours, right?"

Theodore suddenly fell silent.

As the night fell, Adrienne put her mobile phone back into her pocket contentedly after the call ended and skipped back to the restaurant.

"Mommy, I'm back."

"You were gone so long I thought you were kidnapped." Everleigh took two wet tissues and wiped her hands. "I've ordered some ice cream for you."

"Wow!" Adrienne looked at the scoop of chocolate ice cream in front of her, which was bigger than her fist, and exclaimed, "It's so big. Mommy, you're the best!"

Everleigh rubbed her head and helped her to tidy up her bangs. However, her gentle eyes became a little apologetic and she smiled reluctantly, "As long as you like it."

"Of course I like it. You and Alastair know that I like ice cream the most!" Adrienne picked up the spoon impatiently. Suddenly, she remembered something and immediately turned to wink at Everleigh. "But I love you and Alastair the most!"

This little girl's mouth was sweet and smart. Because of this, many strangers had favored her since she was a child. Even Everleigh and Alastair had benefited from her presence.

However, Adrienne was not as smart as her brother, who was wiser than most of his peers. Most of the time, her little acts could not escape Everleigh's eyes.

When she took her brother's mobile phone to the bathroom, Everleigh saw it clearly, but she acquiesced.

She knew very well who Adrienne had called.

It was late at night. After she tucked the two children in bed, Everleigh took the dinner made by the housekeeper and brought it to Christopher at the hospital.

She was on the early morning shift, therefore she could bring the food to him.

She came out of the parking lot and walked towards the emergency room with the supper in her hands. She suddenly remembered that she left something in her car and went back to retrieve it.

With the many things that happened recently, it became a norm for her to forget things.

At midnight, there were only a few cars parked in the hospital's parking lot. Apart from the light that came from the distant security booth, the parking lot was dark and quiet.

Rumors spread around the hospital in the past two days that there was a pervert in the hospital vicinity. Everleigh thought of this and wrapped herself tightly in her coat. For some reason, she felt a chill on her neck and she quickened her steps.

After she took the documents from her car and was about to close the car door, a gust of cold wind blew past her. Before she could react, she was hugged by someone from behind.

The moment extreme fear hit her, she realized that she could not find her voice. The person who hugged her tightly reeked of alcohol. She gathered her strength, raised her elbow and hit the man fiercely.

"Ahhh..."

She heard a muffled groan of pain.

She felt that the person was familiar but she did not have time to think about it. While he was in pain, she broke free in a hurry and took out a pepper spray from her bag.

In the darkness, the tall figure staggered and fell to the ground.

Everleigh held the pepper spray in her hand, sprayed it a few times, and calmed down. She looked at the figure on the ground and was shocked. "Theodore?"

It was late at night and the broken lights in the parking lot had not been repaired, therefore it was pitch dark.

However, Everleigh recognized the man in front of her based on her instinct.

He was so drunk that he did not look as charismatic as usual. He sat down on the ground and looked like a drunkard who had drunk too much.

"How much did you drink?"

Everleigh exhausted a lot of effort to get him from the parking lot to the temporary doctor-on-duty dormitory in the department. Finally, she laid him down on the bed. She had no strength left in her arms; she collapsed on the chair and gasped.

"Theodore..."

Theodore laid on the bed motionlessly. Everleigh did not know if he was asleep or drunk. She heard him calling her name and saying something after that.

"What did you say?" Everleigh put down the book that she used to fan herself and placed her ear close to his mouth.

"Evie."

His voice was soft and it fell vaguely into Everleigh's ears, making her uncomfortable.

Everleigh was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. She straightened her back and sat by the bed. She looked at the man who was away from her for many years with a mixed feeling in her heart. After a long time, she sighed and was ready to leave.

Before she got up, her hand was suddenly pulled back. "Don't go."

She turned her head in shock and saw that Theodore was looking at her with his eyes wide open. He looked sober.

Everleigh frowned. "You're not drunk?"

The next second, she was dragged down by a huge force from her wrist. The man who laid on the bed turned over, pressed her down and kissed her.

She had no time to react and was caught off guard. The feelings of rejection and reasoning were stuck in her throat.

The smell of alcohol seemed to be contagious. It spread to every nerve and cell in her body through her mouth and throat. Her reasoning went out the window and could not be retrieved.

Theodore was clearly drunk. The moment of sobriety just now was only an illusion. He spoke gibberish and his hands constantly moved about.

Everleigh was weakened by his kiss. She suddenly remembered something, and grabbed his hand which had found its way to the zipper of her jeans. She asked, "Theodore, who am I?"

Without any hesitation, his voice was low and hoarse. He bit her earlobe and said, "Evie, my Evie."

Those words in her ear broke her last psychological defenses. The soft voice seemed to bring her back to seven years ago.

The leather belt buckle was unfastened and made a clear metallic sound in the cramped room. The sound of clothes rubbing against each other was also very clear. The white coat and suit jacket slipped off the bed together and pieces of clothing fell to the ground one by one.

Everleigh's hand grasped onto Theodore's arm and she whispered in pain.

The narrow single bed made a strange noise.
