Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 291

Seeing Adrienne sleeping so soundly, Theodore couldn't bear to wake her from her sleep. "I'll carry her out," he said.

Everleigh hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

The four of them reached the parking lot. Theodore then placed Adrienne on the booster seat. Everleigh said "thank you" to him, got in the car and left.

He stood behind and watched the car slowly disappearing from his sight. At that moment, it was as if something was gradually disappearing into his heart as well.

For the first time, he felt anxious. Seven years ago, it was anger that he felt most, but now, he suddenly realized that he would be losing everything completely.

If you loved someone and had feelings for them, you would feel their existence even if they were at the ends of the earth; but if you didn't love them, you wouldn't be bothered even if they were right in front of you.

He was terrified by such a feeling.

Inside Everleigh's car, Alastair, who sat at the back, said, "He said he still likes you."

"Yeah, I know."

"What do you think?" He looked out of the window. The stillness on his face and his age just did not seem to match.

Looking at his "little adult" demeanor, Everleigh couldn't help laughing. In fact, she also didn't know what to do.

It was a love-hate relationship between the two.

"Do you have him in your heart?"

"Are you worried?"

"I don't care. I just feel that you shouldn't be looking for someone who doesn't love you," he wanted to reject Theodore, but after a slight change of thought, he switched the conversation topic.

In Alastair's heart, he rejected Theodore because he didn't treat Everleigh well. In fact, it could even be said that he held a grudge against him.

"I'm also confused. Let's not talk about this for the time being, okay?" Everleigh said softly; it was not difficult to sense the agitation in her tone.

She had always been avoiding this question. She thought it would all be enough as long as she could uncover the truth from seven years ago, but now that the truth is out, what good has it done? Could the both of them pick up from where they had left off?

Due to this, both Theodore and Everleigh didn't sleep well. The main reason was that they didn't know which stage would be considered best fortheir relationship.

In the morning, when Everleigh got up, Selena was already sitting in the dining room. Seeing her smiling, Everleigh couldn't help but ask.

"Happy because you got a new script?"

"Leon Allen said he would like Theodore to invest in a television series, and he wants me as the main character," she revealed, with no intention of hiding this, feeling rather pleased with herself.

Hearing the name "Leon Allen" made Everleigh feel worse, for she knew very well what kind of man he was.

"Stay away from him. You mentioned that Christopher is one attractive playboy. Isn't Leon the same?"

With a piece of toast in her hand, Selena froze and stared at Everleigh with displeasure, "You just can't bear to see me well-off, can you?"

"Well, if you don't believe me, you can go ask around. What did Leon do to make himself 'unforgettable' back at the Godfrey family's banquet," Everleigh said, unbothered by Selena's displeasure. She continued eating her toast.

Speaking of the truth.

Something came into Selena's mind when she heard "the Godfrey family's banquet".

Everleigh had decided that she would not say anything further. Whatever went on in Selena's mind was none of her business, but Leon was someone whom Cecil rejected. Hence, he and Selena would not be a good match at all, let alone be happy together.

The long awaited holiday had finally arrived. Cecil called to ask Everleigh out, but her voice didn't sound joyful.

She didn't turn her down and decided to go shopping with her. Whenever Cecil seemed down, she would do things half-heartedly.

"What's with the sudden hang out invitation? Did something happen?"

"Do you know why I came back?" Cecil sat on a chair, with one hand stirring a glass of juice. Her eyes were fixed on the passers-by.

Everleigh shook her head. How would she know?

"Zeldan, this is my friend Everleigh Trevino. Everleigh, this is Zeldan Levin. He is my brother's comrade- in- arms," Cecil introduced him plainly. After all, she was very much a lady from a respectable family, so displaying good mannerisms was still a must.

"Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too," Everleigh responded.

Zeldan seated himself on the chair with his back straight. Such an upright and manly posture made Everleigh feel very small.

She felt somewhat embarrassed sitting together with a stranger...

"Had your dinner?" Zeldan asked the two of them.

"No, I haven't."

"Yes, I have."

The contradicting answers from both Everleigh and Cecil made things even more awkward. The fact was that Cecil was not any better in such a situation. As much as she was a self-professed, fiery woman, she had to swallow her pride and anger before him.

With his gaze fixed on Cecil, Zeldan's bright eyes contained a hint of smile. He signaled a waiter over and placed the orders, with most being Cecil's favorites.

"Hey... Don't order too much. We're not hungry."

"Just before meeting you again, I had gone to find out about your likes and dislikes. But for Miss Trevino, I'm really sorry as I don't know what you like. Just order your favorites," Zeldan's explained in his hearty voice as he handed over the menu to her.

Everleigh felt that this man seemed pretty reliable as he knew how to test the waters prior to committing himself.

"No, it's not necessary. Cecil's taste is very similar to mine. I like the things which you have ordered."

"Well... Okay," Zeldan didn't press on, for his target wasn't Everleigh.

The scene of these three sitting and eating together seemed pretty harmonious. However, Cecil's face was not the case as it displayed a look of worry. She wasn't enjoying the food either.

"I wish to go to the washroom for a while. You two carry on eating," Cecil said as she got up and headed to the bathroom. The remaining two watched as she disappeared in the direction of the bathroom.
