Deep Love Hidden From Him -
Chapter 250
In the bedroom that was facing south on the second floor, the old-fashioned decoration gave off a vintage feel.
The European-style single bed was covered with a light green striped sheet and matching quilt, while the pillows had white covers which were embroidered with small chrysanthemums. There were two dolls on the headboard.
Next to the bedside table was the study table by the window. In the daytime, when the curtains were opened, one could see the front courtyard of the Trevino family home.
This was Everleigh's room.
"Look, your room has not changed even after so many years," Selena sat on the bed and said this without hiding the envy in her tone.
"Do you know? When I was a child, I liked your room very much. It faced the south, and the lighting is good. No matter who comes to the house, as soon as you open the window, you can see them and greet them."
Everleigh sat on the chair in front of the desk and was flustered for a moment. "I thought you liked a room with a balcony."
Selena's room was opposite hers. It faced north and had a small balcony.
"That's what you think." Selena took a deep breath, placed her arms on both sides, and raised her legs from the ground. She shrugged her shoulders as if she was a child. "After you left home, I thought that I could move to this room, but do you know what happened?"
"What?"
"Dad locked your room. It hasn't been opened for seven years."
Everleigh was shocked.
It was no wonder. The decoration of the house had obviously been refurbished. Although there was no difference in the layout, she could see traces of the refurbishment. Only her room had not been touched; even the medical book on the desk which she left when she moved out was still there.
"Everleigh, I dislike you quite a lot, and I even hate you. I don't understand why Dad still cares about you so much even after you left. It's not like the Trevino family only has you as a daughter. Why does he leave everything good to you?"
"Selena, Dad loves you very much too."
"I don't like the word 'too'." Selena raised her eyebrows. "You said it as if I am the redundant one, but you are obviously the one who's..."
She only said half of what she wanted to say and suddenly stopped.
Everleigh was puzzled. "Who's what?"
"Nothing." Selena avoided her gaze, frowned and said in a bad mood, "Forget it, I have nothing to compete with against you."
Everleigh was a little confused. She always felt that there was more to her words.
However, Selena suddenly changed the subject. "Tell me, what's the matter with your children? Are they Theodore's?"
Hearing his name, Everleigh's face tightened, and she subconsciously clenched her fists. "Yeah."
On that day in the corridor of the hotel, Selena was also present. Helen had asked someone to go to the hospital to do the paternity test, and the evidence had come out. She couldn't deny it, and she didn't intend to either.
Since she couldn't hide it, she didn't want to do it anymore.
"So yours and Christopher's marriage is fake?" "That's right.' "No wonder. I knew you wouldn't like such a playboy," Selena said in a disgusted tone. "Luckily, you are not really married to him. Otherwise, I'll feel ashamed."
Hearing this, Everleigh felt funny and said helplessly, "Christopher is quite nice. He's not the kind of person like the rumors claim."
"There must be a reason behind the rumors. Even if he is good, if his reputation gets involved with our family, will Dad's reputation be glorious? You have really fallen into a trap in the ditch. Why didn't you replace a normal person to fake your marriage with? Now that the matter has turned out like this, if the Meyer family makes a fuss, who is to take care of it?"
Selena's tone sounded as if she was teaching her daughter a lesson.
Everleigh felt helpless. She looked at her and said, "Are you worried about my situation?"
Hearing this, Selena immediately straightened up and almost jumped up from the bed. "Who is worried about your situation? I am worried about the situation of the Trevino family. When you came back, you keep bringing trouble to the family."
Everleigh's expression darkened. "Don't worry. I won't bring trouble to the family. I'll handle my own affairs. You will all still be the same as before." "How will you handle it? Do you want Alastair and Adrienne to suffer together with you?"
Everleigh was slightly taken aback.
"It's fine if it's you alone, but the children are still young. They are also my nephew and niece," Selena said with a serious face. "I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for the children of the Trevino family. You can do whatever you want and go wherever you want. No matter what, the children will stay here and go nowhere."
Upon hearing this, Everleigh finally understood why Selena asked her to come here.
She had taken such a big turn just to say she wanted the two children to live in the Trevino family in the future.
Looking at her sister, who pretended to be indifferent, Everleigh was very touched. No matter how much resentment she previously had, this matter was now settled.
Before she could finish her words, she heard the sound of a car engine coming from downstairs.
"It's already late at night. Who is it?" Selena stood up and stretched her neck to look out of the window. After a while, she frowned and turned to ask Everleigh, "Why is he here?" Everleigh was flustered. She looked in the direction of Selena's gaze and saw Christopher getting out of the car and ringing the doorbell outside the iron gate.
"Did you ask him to come here?"
"No." Everleigh was shocked. She stood up immediately and walked out.
When she walked to the door, Selena suddenly called out to her, "Sis..."
Everleigh paused all of a sudden when she was opening the door. She turned around in surprise and forgot to respond.
This was the first time that Selena had called her "Sis" since she returned from abroad after seven years.
Selena stood by the bed. After being silent for a long time, she whispered, "I'm sorry."
Everleigh was flustered for a while and said with a smile, "What's there to be sorry for among sisters? Let's go. Dad said that Hilda made more dishes tonight. I haven't eaten her food for a long time." "Okay."
Everleigh did not ask her about her apology. Perhaps it was because Selena told her father that she was pregnant, or maybe it was because she made things difficult for her after she came back, or perhaps it was something that she had not known about yet...
However, those were all in the past.
When she went downstairs, she heard Hilda greeting Christopher, inviting him in for tea. "Miss Selena, Miss Everleigh, and the children are all upstairs. Sir, please sit for a while."
"It's okay, Hilda. You can go about your business. I can smell the fragrance from outside. I've heard from Everleigh that you cook the best dishes. Am I going to be lucky to have a taste of them today?"
"Do you have a dog's nose?" Everleigh asked him from the stairs before Hilda could speak. Then, she went downstairs and glanced at him. "Why are you here?"
"Dad asked me to come." Christopher glanced at Abraham, who was reading the newspaper on the opposite sofa, and said with a smile, "Right, Dad?"
The word "Dad" made Everleigh tremble.
Wasn't this adding to the chaos?
However, Abraham answered with a "Hum". He put away the newspaper, took off his glasses and placed it aside, saying, "I asked Christopher to come." "Huh?" She was confused. "You asked him to come?" "What's wrong? Can't I let him come and have a meal at home?"
Everleigh was still in a daze. Looking at Hilda's busy figure in the kitchen, she suddenly realized that the food that was prepared didn't seem to be prepared for her. Besides, she didn't mention in advance that she was coming back...
Then, what was this?
