Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 653

The purpose for Xavier coming over was to visit the children. "I've investigated everything, but the person had already left. Theodore, your tip-off was too late."

"Well, I know." Theodore had heard his explanation, but he didn't plan on blaming him. After all, Wilson wouldn't leave a trace behind.

"Let's put that aside for now." Theodore walked over and sat on the sofa with a heavy expression on his face.

Xavier frowned. He couldn't understand his brother's expression. "What's that look on your face?"

"How do you expect me to look?" Theodore asked Everleigh. Was there anything wrong with his expression?

Everleigh had seen his face turned purple from rage before, and he even had a murderous look on him. However, now, he had changed after just going out for a while. She didn't believe that there was nothing wrong with him.

Could it be that he had gone out to settle the score with Wilson?

She wasn't the only one who had this idea. It was the same for Xavier. He kept feeling that something was not right.

"Since Alastair and Adrienne are fine now, I'll go back first. I'll come over if I have time."

"You should stay. Adrienne has a fever now. You can go back tomorrow. I'll ask someone to prepare a guest room for you now." Everleigh thought that Xavier would be alone when he went back, so it didn't matter if he stayed here for one night.

After thinking for a while, he agreed directly.

The Trevino family home was bustling that night. Abraham didn't expect Xavier to be here, so he chatted with him for a long time before returning to rest.

Everleigh had been taking care of Adrienne throughout the night and only rested a bit during dawn. Theodore also accompanied her and didn't sleep at all.

When Adrienne opened her eyes, she saw Theodore sitting on one side. In a hoarse voice, she called out, "Daddy."

"Are you feeling better?" Theodore reached out and touched Adrienne's forehead. It felt much cooler, and he was relieved.

"I'm fine. Daddy, did you rest?" She continued to ask.

He shook his head. For the first time, he experienced the feeling of being a father. How did Everleigh manage to take care of them like that? Just thinking about it was exhausting enough.

"Daddy, why are your eyes red? I'm fine. I've recovered. Where are the snacks you promised me?" Adrienne had been keeping it in her mind all the time.

Theodore laughed lightly. He didn't dare to speak too loudly. Deep down, he was afraid that he would wake Everleigh up. "I've already bought them. You can eat them today, and I've asked for leave from your teacher."

"Well then I'll eat the snacks later because my mouth feels weird." Adrienne pretended to be aggrieved. She really wanted to eat ice cream, but Mommy once told her that when she was sick, she shouldn't eat too much junk food. Otherwise, she would get a stomach ache.

By the time Everleigh woke up, it was already noon. When she saw that Alastair and Adrienne weren't in the room, she felt a little anxious. She quickly went downstairs to take a look, only to see

two children together with Theodore. They were talking and laughing, like they were having a great time together.

"Mommy, you're awake?"

"Yes. Adrienne, how do you feel now?" Everleigh asked, then walked over and touched her daughter's forehead. She could only relax when Adrienne recovered from the fever.

"I'm fine now, Mommy. Daddy bought me a lot of snacks. Look." Adrienne pointed to the snacks aside and spoke with a smile.

Everleigh glanced down at the snacks and said, "You bought a little too much."

"Just let Adrienne eat if she likes it. Besides, I wasn't the only one who bought them. There's also Xavier's portion."

Speaking of this, Everleigh came back to her senses. Why couldn't she see him?

"Where is Xavier?"

"He has gone back to the company. He can't be as free as I am," Theodore explained.

"Mommy, Uncle Xavier is very nice. He bought me a lot of things. Look." Adrienne liked the things her uncle bought very much.

Everleigh didn't say anything. After all, it was Xavier's goodwill. She couldn't prohibit her child from eating them.

"Let's go sit in the garden. Adrienne needs to bask more in the sunshine," Theodore suggested.

The four of them went to the garden. Everleigh and Theodore sat down on the chairs, watching the two children play with Ace and Jojo. Their hearts felt much more relaxed.

"Everleigh, you've had a hard time these years, haven't you?"

She listened to Theodore and her expression froze; she looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"I just feel that for so many years, you've been raising the children alone. Whenever they fall ill, you will always be by their side, never relaxed," he responded in a deep voice, distressed.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen how other people took care of their children. However, it wasn't until it actually happened to him that he understood how important it was as a parent to bear such responsibility.

Everleigh did her part as the mother, but he, on the other hand, was a failed father. Whenever his children were sick, he couldn't do anything at all.

Even up until that moment, it still didn't change the fact that he couldn't do anything else but watch Everleigh take care of the children.

"Why are you saying that? When I chose to give birth to the two of them, I didn't care about anything else. I knew that there would be a lot of small matters that happen with children. At that time, I thought that as soon as my children grew older, I could be free. Now, I have done it. Isn't it good?" She saw the remorse in his eyes, but she didn't blame him. After all, when she left, he didn't know that she was pregnant.

He knew that she was comforting him. Sometimes, husbands and wives act like that. They only needed a glance to know what was going on.

The two of them smiled at each other and turned their heads to look at their two children.

Children weren't capable of pretending to be sick, and seeing Adrienne playing happily showed that she was alive and well.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The next day, Alastair and Adrienne went to school. Abraham told Everleigh that he would send and pick them up from school in the future to avoid any accidents from happening again, and she agreed to it. If she hadn't gone to the Jenkins family, the children wouldn't be in trouble.

Everleigh went to the hospital to visit her aunt. In the ward, only Missha was talking on the phone. Her tone was cold, as if she was berating someone.

Everleigh was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, she listened to her from outside until she hung up the phone.

"Aunt Missha."

"Everleigh, you're here. Come over and sit." Missha pointed to a chair on the side, as if the person who had just lost her temper was not her.

Everleigh didn't say anything but walked over directly and sat down. "Aunt Missha, it's better not to lose your temper when you're recuperating."

"Well, if Cynthia was sensible, I wouldn't have to work so hard. A meeting was supposed to be held today, but I had an accident, and since the signal in the hospital is bad, I didn't join the video conference."

Everleigh didn't know how busy these businessmen were, but what she knew was that her aunt needed to recover in peace without any disturbance.

"By the way, I heard from Saniogo yesterday that Adrienne is ill? Is she fine now? She was terrified, wasn't she?"

"Yes, she's alright now. She even ate a lot this morning," Everleigh explained because she didn't want Missha to blame herself.
