Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 19

Adrienne was puzzled. "Alastair."

Alastair insisted, "I said no."

It was rare for Alastair to look so solemn. He was not only wary but he also seemed hostile to the man, which was unheard of for a kid his age.

"Thank you but we can get it on our own."

Upon finishing that, Alastair dragged her sister away and lectured her, "You can't accept anything from strangers. I've told you so many times but you never listen to me."

"But that uncle is so handsome. He's definitely a good guy."

"He's not handsome."

"No, he is!"

Theodore stood up and watched as the children walked away. He looked exceptionally cold in the rain. He handed the umbrella to the assistant behind him. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"Mr. Godfrey, the children..."

"Moses, follow them. Don't let anything happen to them."

"Yes, sir."

After Moses went after the kids, Theodore returned to the car. He rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.

The entrance to the apartment was just nearby and it was still raining.

However, it was just drizzling. Theodore and his driver were alone in the car. Throughout the silence, the mobile phone vibrated several times.

"Mr. Godfrey," the driver reminded carefully, "Miss Bailey called a few times."

Theodore was lost in thought as he stared out of the window. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He saw the children in the pharmacy. The girl resembled Everleigh. She was a chip straight off the old block.

Meanwhile, Theodore felt that the boy looked like him.

Theodore waited near the apartment for Moses to return. After a while, Adrienne darted into view. Alastair followed his sister closely and they both entered the apartment.

Moses reported, "Mr. Godfrey, the kids are quite smart. They told the cashier that they didn't have a father. They went on about how it was not easy for their single mother to take care of them. The little girl even cried."

Theodore raised his eyebrow when he heard the word 'single mother'.

He was not sure if the children were just using that as an excuse to buy medicine.

No matter what, he would look into the matter and find out the children's father.

Theodore glanced at the roof of the apartment. His eyes were composed as he instructed Moses, "Investigate the kids. Send a report to my office tomorrow morning."

Moses was taken aback but he immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Godfrey."

After a moment of silence, Theodore added, "Also, I want a report regarding Everleigh's whereabouts in June seven years ago. Compile a detailed report for me."

Theodore's eyes were filled with pain at the mention of that.

Seven years ago, he first experienced hell when Everleigh broke up with him. Immediately after, she left Ocpeace City and that tormented him.

It was so painful that his heart would ache whenever he recalled it.

The black car sped out of the residential area. However, Theodore's eyes remained transfixed on the rearview mirror. He was staring at the apartment that was disappearing out of sight.

Everleigh's return made him realize that those horrid years would not be healed with time.

He wanted an explanation and she needed to be responsible for it.

Ten kilometers away from the apartment was a famous wealthy district in Ocpeace City.

There was a loud crash and a valuable antique cup hit the floor in the living room. It was shattered into pieces and tea spilled everywhere. The servants were bewildered.

Josephine made several phone calls to Theodore but no one answered. Concurrently, she stared at the video from Godfrey Mansion and her face darkened.

No, she could not just sit around and wait. To prevent unnecessary troubles, Everleigh must not stay in Ocpeace City.

Josephine spoke grimly, "Leah, I heard that Selena is having her birthday party at Seacloud Hotel this weekend."

"Yes, miss." Leah, the maid, had served Josephine ever since the latter was a child. Therefore, Josephine trusted Leah.

"If Selena knows that her annoying sister had two children, will she take this opportunity to trample Everleigh in public? After all, the Trevino family's friends and relatives will be there and Selena would definitely be thrilled."

"Miss, what do you mean?"

"Go and get those things from the safe. I haven't seen Selena for seven years now, so I should get her a big present."

Upon recalling the items in the safe, Josephine's eyes flashed coldly. Back then, she kept everything because she was worried that Everleigh would come back.
