Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 279

Hearing this, Adrienne climbed down from Christopher's arms and walked over to Abraham. "Grandpa, can you teach me about it as well?"

"Well, what do you want to know?" Abraham rarely ever became this interested and he looked at the both of them lovingly.

Adrienne looked upwards and frowned, and it seemed very difficult for her to replace words for her to say.

"Grandpa, I think it's better if you explain the process of making ice cream to me." Her face turned red, but she said it anyway.

Then, everyone in the house burst into laughter, especially Christopher. That being said, Adrienne was still a child, and she was better off not involving herself in business. It was better if someone else took care of her.

When Adrienne saw that they were laughing, she also laughed along with them.

It was almost as if she wasn't the one being laughed at.

After dinner, Abraham told them that there would be a family dinner in a few days, and he wanted Christopher to attend.

Thus, Everleigh was stunned and said, "Dad, you don't have to do this. He's really busy."

"What are you talking about? Christopher is your husband now. There's no reason for him to not attend the family dinner," Abraham suddenly said in a stern voice.

She was speechless and did not dare to say anything else.

Christopher, on the other hand, looked happy. "Don't worry, Dad. I'll definitely dress up to attend the dinner. Do you want to invite my mom and dad too?"

"If they are not busy, you can ask them to come with us." When Abraham heard this, his voice became much softer. Their last meeting had been very unpleasant, and they hadn't had the opportunity to talk about it so far.

"Don't worry, they aren't. Even if they are busy, they will make time to join." Christopher waved his hand and said with a smile. Thus, he completely ignored Everleigh who was pinching him.

She was really speechless. She was trying to figure out how to solve this problem. On the other hand, Christopher still wanted to be involved. If the truth came out in the future, shame would come to them all. As she sent Christopher off, Everleigh was very unhappy and said, "What are you up to?"

"Nothing but good intentions. Do you want me to refuse your father's proposal?"

Everleigh was once again at loss for words. His words made sense.

"I wanted you to meet my parents last time but your incident screwed things up. This time, I can take advantage of the opportunity." Christopher's expression suddenly changed. He was not all smiles as before, but he became more serious.

Hence, Everleigh had no choice but to agree.

Now, she just hoped that the day would be a bit easier and that there wouldn't be any trouble.

Meanwhile, Theodore had just finished dealing with the company's matters, and from time to time, he would think of Everleigh's face.

Moses walked in and said cautiously, "Mr. Godfrey, Miss Trevino has been discharged from the hospital."

"Mm."

"I heard that the Trevino family is going to organize a family dinner. The Meyers will also attend." After Moses finished speaking, he observed Theodore's expression.

Seeing that Theodore did not have any untoward reactions, he let out a sigh of relief.

However, what he didn't see was the veins on Theodore's hand popping as a result of him grabbing his pen really tightly.

"You can leave now."

"Yes."

After Moses left, his heart was still fearful. He was worried that Mr. Godfrey would have an adverse reaction. Ever since he called off the engagement with Josephine, he had been in a bad mood. Theodore sat on the chair alone as he turned around to look at the scenery outside, but his heart was filled with annoyance.

If the incident did not happen seven years ago, the person attending the Trevino family's feast would be him and not Christopher.

Sadly... There were no 'ifs'.

If he could turn back time, he would definitely replace out why she left, and then he would not be caught off guard by the sudden revelation of the truth.

His expression changed slightly, and his gaze gradually turned ice-cold. His expression was harsh, but there was a hint of firmness in it.

The day gradually turned dark and the sun went out of sight. The dark atmosphere made many people feel cold, but someone felt that it was as warm as spring. That someone was Everleigh. Every time she laid in her room, she felt so warm, as if she had returned to a few years ago. She had always missed this feeling.

At this time, a familiar ringtone sounded, and Everleigh picked it up as soon as she saw the caller ID.

"Cecil."

"Why did you answer the phone so slowly?"

Everleigh said helplessly, "I've already picked it up as soon as possible."

On the contrary, Cecil said in a very contemptuous tone, "Is that so?"

"Girl, did you call me from another country to quarrel about this? Where have you disappeared to this whole time?" Everleigh had too many things to deal with and had forgotten about this. Cecil had said that she was going to run an errand, but she hadn't come back yet.

"I was in a bit of trouble, so I didn't go home. I'm calling you to ask if the relationship between Josephine and Theodore is really over?" When it came to this, Cecil's tone was obviously colder. Hence, Everleigh was stunned. "How did you know about this?"

"Do you think I don't know what happened even when I'm abroad? I have a lot of spies, you know," Cecil said proudly.

On the contrary, Everleigh believed that it was her friend who told Cecil.

"Don't try to change the subject. Hurry up and tell me what's going on."

"If s as you've heard. Theodore knew that Josephine was involved in the matter back then, and that's why he's so angry."

Cecil listened and frowned. "How did he know? If he knew, would he have been engaged to her? I think that that man's brain is filled with trash."

Everleigh felt very hapless as Cecil just said whatever she wanted to at times.

"It's Christopher. He was the one who told Theodore what Josephine did in the first place, and that's why this has happened."

Then, Cecil snorted and said, "I told you that Christopher didn't do this out of goodwill. You should stay away from him in the future. That b*stard, I'm so angry just thinking about him." Everleigh didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Why was she still holding a grudge?

"Alright, now, I finally know what's going on. Josephine deserves to be punished."

"She and Theodore are a perfect match. Why do they have to be separated? Don't a scumbag and a b*tch make a heavenly match?" Cecil's voice was still filled with anger. Her voice was raised a few decibels but little did she know that her words had already been heard by the person standing at the door.

Then, he kicked the door open and asked angrily, "Cecil, repeat what you just said."

"It makes no difference no matter how many times I repeat it," Cecil said, not wanting to be outdone.

Everleigh, who was on the other side of the phone, was in deep shock. The person who had just spoken seemed to be Leon.

Why was he there?

Didn't Cecil hate him the most?

"Cecil, you..."

"Everleigh, I have something to deal with. I'll tell you later." After saying that angrily, Cecil hung up.
