Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 232

Everleigh answered the phone while walking to the entrance of the hospital. As soon as she got to the door, she was stopped by a figure who rushed out from the side. The figure put her in chokehold and said, "Did you miss me?"

Everleigh was dragged into someone's arms. After she came back to her senses, she shoved him away grumpily and said, "Christopher, you stink of sweat. Let me go!"

"You still have the nerve to say that? You just had an operation and you're as stinky as a pickle."

"What did you say?"

"Ah ah ah, it hurts..."

Inside the hospital, Theodore followed Everleigh to the entrance and saw this scene. Meanwhile, she pinched Christopher's ear and the two of them frolicked while they headed towards the parking lot together.

A man's voice came from the side. "Sometimes, I really envy Christopher's character."

Theodore cast a sidelong glance and saw Stainley, who was dressed in a white coat. Theodore didn't know when he had arrived, but he was standing right next to him.

Stainley said, "Christopher has a straightforward personality. He can do whatever he likes and dislikes. If I was Everleigh, I would also feel that it would be the easiest to get along with him."

Theodore frowned. He looked at Stainley and said solemnly, "I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. I've misunderstood you."

"I didn't expect you to be able to apologize to someone."

Theodore's eyes darkened, and he said indifferently, "I didn't expect you to be able to make fun of people either."

Then, Stainley put his hands in his pockets and said, "Honestly, you don't have to apologize to me. You're right. I like Everleigh. That has never changed despite the years."

"So what? She's married."

"I don't mind."

Upon hearing this, Theodore's brows suddenly twitched. He turned to look at Stainley, whose expression was as cool as stone, and his gaze became chilly.

However, Stainley seemed to have expected this reaction. He looked at the time calmly and said, "I'm still on the night shift, so I'll go first."

Looking at the Stainley's retreating back, Theodore's temples throbbed violently.

At this time, Everleigh was driving home.

Christopher sat in the passenger seat. "Turn right at the intersection in front."

Everleigh glanced at him and said, "Why? You haven't been back for so long that you don't even know the way home? It's straight ahead."

"I haven't eaten yet. Let's turn right to go have something to eat. Treat me to dinner."

"Alright, I happen to know a good Japanese restaurant over there."

"Not bad. You even know that I like Japanese food."© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Excuse me, you're thinking too much. I also haven't eaten yet," she rolled her eyes and asked, "Why did you suddenly come back? You didn't tell me about it either. Is the business in Gansen Village done?"

"What are you talking about? I snuck back."

"You're really bold. Does Mr. Lawson know about this?"

"He has a lot of things to do, so does he really keep an eye on me every day? Anyway, I've

already informed someone there. It won't be a problem for me to be back for three to five days."

"Why do you make it sound like you've escaped from prison?"

"It's all because of you." Christopher stretched and leaned back in his seat. "Isn't it your birthday soon? I came back to celebrate your birthday with you."

"Really? Aren't you back to see Crystal?"

"Everleigh, you really don't have a conscience. I came back on purpose and you didn't even welcome me? I won't celebrate your birthday anymore even if you begged me in the future."

Hearing this, she looked at him and recanted her statement with a smile. "I was wrong, okay? I'm just kidding. Thank you for coming back to celebrate my birthday with me, but I'm really not available on my birthday."

"Why?"

"Alastair and Adrienne's school have a Thanksgiving Festival going. Their class is performing a play so I have to go to school and watch."

"Really? A Thanksgiving Festival?" Christopher suddenly sat up straight. "Isn't that great? I'll go with you and take Alastair and Adrienne for a meal after the play."

"You want to go?" Everleigh looked at him in surprise.

"Of course. This is the first time that I'm attending the kids' activities as their father. I must dress up to attend. How could they not have both parents present? We can't let Adrienne be discriminated against."

"Could you please not use such strong words?"

The saying was to have both daughter and son in the family, but when it came to Christopher, it became parents instead.

Then, Everleigh teased, "You're going to dress up, aren't you? Alright, I'll lend you a dress when the time comes. If you don't wear it, you're a coward."

"Just focus on driving your car."

Everleigh drove to a nearby shopping mall. The restaurant was on the fourth floor of the mall and the environment inside was quite comfortable.

During dinner, Christopher handed a document to Everleigh.

"What is this?"

"Open it and youll know."

Everleigh opened the document and saw the record of a car being scrapped. She frowned and asked, "Was the car scrapped?"

"Yeah, it happened half a month ago."

"Why so sudden?"

"Sudden?" Christopher said seriously, "There's something even more sudden. William has been transferred by Ocpeace Medical University to Nihonland for a long- term exchange."

"When did it happen? How come I didn't know about this?" She frowned. "I saw him when I held a class last Wednesday."

He ate some salmon and pointed to the document in Everleigh's hand with his fork. "Go through it. During the personnel transfer, the action was kept secret. It's normal that you don't know it since it wasn't on your school's official website."

She quickly scrolled down two pages and saw a photocopied document with the school seal.

"Three years? That's too long. He would never have applied for it by himself."

She was very clear of what sort of person William was.

His academic performance had always been at the top, but he had no desire to make progress and only wanted to be stable. Therefore, as soon as he graduated, he stayed in school to be a teacher. However, the contents of that personnel transfer said that he applied to transfer to Nihonland.

Christopher said, "I don't know, but considering the fact that the car was scrapped, I think we might have acted rashly and alerted the enemy."

"Did Madison do it?"

Everleigh stared at him, waiting for his answer.

On the other hand, Christopher took a sip of the wine unhurriedly. When he raised his head, he had a rare serious look on his face. "I don't think so."

"Then who else could it be?"

He put down his fork and reached out to take away the document in Everleigh's hand. He then flipped a few pages and handed it back to her. "Take a look at this."

She did not say a word.

"Is this person the waitress you mentioned who was at the Godfrey family's birthday banquet?"

Everleigh's eyes narrowed as she looked at the page that Christopher handed over. It was a profile of a person, and there was a photo clipped on the top right corner. The girl in the photo was about 17 years old and had a bit of a baby face. It was obvious that she was the waitress she met at the birthday banquet that day.

"It's her. That's right."

Everleigh's tone was very firm.

"Then that's right." Christopher looked up and narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold gleam appeared in them. He tapped his fingers on the picture twice and said slowly, "This girl is one of Xavier's people."
