Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 388

She was proud to be a woman.

Everleigh and Alastair approached them, and heard what Adrienne said to Theodore.

"Look at what you're saying. You're only a few years old. Get in the car now, otherwise it will be crowded if we get there late," Everleigh said.

Hearing that, Adrienne quickly jumped out of Theodore's arms. She opened the door and got into the car.

"Hurry up!" She called out to the three of them.

Theodore and Everleigh looked at each other helplessly. When they arrived at the Ocean Park, it was still rather early. There weren't many visitors there.

"Let's go over there and wait. The show will begin soon," Theodore found several seats.

It was still a little too hot.

Everleigh walked over to him, holding one child in each hand. Most of the people there were made up of families of three.

"Mommy, they look really happy, are they all living together?" Adrienne asked curiously.

Her question had left both Everleigh and Theodore startled. Their gazes met and fell a little.

"Mommy, why aren't you answering me?" Adrienne asked again.

"Adrienne, not all couples have to live together. Aren't you happy staying with Grandpa?" Alastair interrupted. He didn't want to know anything between the adults.

She sulked, "I am happy, but..."

Everleigh glanced at her watch and said, "The show is about to start, let's go!"

She held their hands and walked inside.

Theodore was a little dejected when he heard the conversation. Didn't she have any desire to live with him? He pondered.

Inside the amphitheater, the seats were mostly occupied as they walked in. Children were screaming excitedly among the audience.

There was a huge pool in the middle. Two dolphins appeared from the water and did some ball tricks, while another three dolphins jumped out to join them.

Adrienne was screaming excitedly in her seat, whereas Alastair was more calm and quiet. However, his excitement and love for dolphins could be felt just by looking at his sparkling eyes.

Theodore bought them ice cream after the dolphin

performance.

"Let's have some ice cream, the weather is too hot," he said.

"Here you go, it's your favorite flavor," Everleigh handed an ice cream to Adrienne.

She took it with an overjoyed expression. She took a huge bite off of it. Alastair, on the other hand, was just like Theodore. They didn't really like desserts.

Adrienne and Everleigh were the only ones who ate the ice cream.

In the afternoon, they went to the water park. Alastair and Adrienne were enjoying themselves in the kids' pool, while Theodore and Everleigh were sitting at the side, looking at them.

"Everleigh, do you really have no plans of getting back together with me?" Theodore asked.

"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Her expression stiffened.

He avoided eye contact. He smiled and said, "I saw your strange expression when you heard what Adrienne said earlier today. Everleigh, can you tell me what's on your mind? What's holding you back?"

"When did you start caring about my feelings? You never cared about it back then," she retorted.

"I know I used to hurt you so much back then due to my negligence. I've been thinking about it many times. If only I cared more about you, if only I insisted on knowing what happened, we wouldn't have wasted seven years between us." Theodore's voice sounded hoarse. There was sorrow in his words.

Everleigh wasn't feeling good hearing his words too. What he said was true. She didn't have any chance to express her feelings back then. If he bothered to investigate further, she wouldn't have ended up like that.

Unfortunately, time could not be reversed.

"Let's not talk about the past anymore. Now that I'm with you, I won't care about the past, just like how you didn't care about everything that happened to me back then. It's just that, things can never be as simple as before between us."

Theodore bought them quite a lot of food, including desserts.

Adrienne ate happily, with greasy stains all around her cheeks.

"It's really delicious! Alastair, eat more!" She scooped a large spoonful of ice cream for him.

Alastair looked a little unimpressed, but he still ate the ice cream she gave him.

"It's nice, isn't it?" Adrienne asked, expecting him to agree with her.

He nodded gently in response.

"You can come over to my place if you have time. I don't have to go to work now. Alastair, you can stay there if you want to. I can teach you everything about the world of business," Theodore said. He knew that he had to make Alastair like him if he wanted them all to accept him.

Alastair raised his head up and glanced at him faintly. "I have to go to school. I'm only free during the weekends."

"That will do. Ace will be there too."

Theodore seemed to bring it up casually, but he knew very well that Alastair and Adrienne both liked Ace.

Everleigh knew he wanted to spend more time with the children. However, Leon was very mad after seeing that Ace was injured the previous time.

Thinking of Leon, she couldn't help but ask, "How's Leon doing?"

"He's getting better now, and has started managing the company, but..." Theodore hesitated. Leon had become incredibly ruthless. He would curse at anyone for even the smallest problems.

Theodore was never as fierce and as bad as him.

Leon definitely outdid him in that aspect.

"Is it because of Selena?"

"Yes. I don't know what they talked about last time, for him to become so heartless," Theodore replied.
