Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 290

Leon looked at the things on the table. He could not help but shake his head, "Things seem really hard for you, so much so that you're even eating such things."

"Mr. Allen, not everyone can be like you, having so much free time and also money to spend," Everleigh replied under her breath. She continued eating as if the person who just talked was not her. He was silenced instantly. Indeed, being the perpetual idler he was, he was always thinking about courting women for pleasure.

"Yeah, you're right. Only someone like me fits into such a role... You're that star, aren't you?" Leon asked before he could finish his sentence, for his eyes lit up instantly the moment he laid his eyes on Selena. She was standing by the side, emanating an extraordinary aura.

Hearing what Leon had said, Theodore and Everleigh both frowned at the same time and looked at her.

Selena originally wanted to deride Everleigh, but when she saw Theodore, she felt that it was better to maintain her image.

As for the man before her, she had known about him all along, Leon Allen; he was also Theodore's cousin. Selena had originally wanted to get on Theodore's list, so naturally she had to investigate him to get a clear picture of the people related to him.

She was wondering why someone like Josephine could assume the identity of Mrs. Godfrey, but not her. By means of family backgrounds and the way she carried herself, she was not any inferior to Josephine Refusing to accept reality, she tried to get close to him using her celebrity status.

As a result, the return of Everleigh disrupted all of her plans.

Now that she and Theodore even had children, she could kiss her daydream goodbye, for there was nothing much she could do.

"Hello, Mr. Allen," she gave a gentle smile; it was the standard smile which made people's hearts blossom like roses in full bloom, mesmerizing and pleasing.

To boot, Leon had always been a ladies' man, never refusing beautiful women flocking to him, especially ones like Selena.

"You know me? I'm really sorry for being so abrupt," he said humbly, but his feet displayed an otherwise behavior as he walked straight to Selena's side.

Looking at his mannerisms, Selena maintained the smile on her face, and the smile grew even more affectionate.

Everleigh said suddenly, "Leon, if there's nothing else, you can go back first. This is a hospital."

She deliberately emphasized the word "hospital" to imply that this was not a place for courting women.

Theodore didn't like him behaving in such a manner, either. His face darkened and he said, "Leon, come here."

"But Theodore, I'm re- forming a pleasant internal relationship on behalf of you," said Leon, who refused to leave things like that. She was Everleigh's sister, after all, and he was obviously within scoring position, so it was not wrong for him to do so.

Theodore wouldn't believe any words from this lustful brat. In fact, he had long since gotten used to such behavior and was totally unsurprised. However, he felt it was best not for Leon not to mess with Selena "Adrienne, I have snacks in my room. Do you want to come?"

Upon hearing this, Adrienne's tiny face reflected her dilemma. She looked at Everleigh with her dark eyes, as if she was asking for her opinion.

"There are cakes and tidbits," Theodore added softly.

"Let's go. Daddy, you are not in good health. I will take good care of you, right Alastair?" She asked adorably but in a righteous manner, worried that her decision might drag her brother into trouble. But how could Alastair not see through her intention?

Everleigh glanced at Adrienne, her eyes emotionless. Alastair also looked at her, as if asking for her opinion. "Just go, but let's go home after work."

"Okay, thank you, Mommy," Adrienne exclaimed excitedly, and hugged Theodore's neck. "Let's go, Daddy." Theodore looked at her who was close by his side, and breathed in the scent of his endearing daughter.

A quiet Alastair just followed him from behind.

Theodore looked at Everleigh with deep thoughts running through his mind, then brought his two children back to the ward. Leon sighed slightly and left without a choice.

By this point, Everleigh and Selena were the only two people left in the office, and things got quieter in an instant.

"Theodore hasn't given up on you yet," Selena said suddenly.

Everleigh glanced at her and chuckled, "I, your sister, am not an easy person to be forgotten."

Selena was stunned by her remarks. She had seen shameless people before, but none like her.

"You really dare say that huh?"

"Why not? I am resilient, and have a beautiful face with a good figure. No man could ever forget me," Everleigh explained haughtily, her eyes filled with mischief.

Selena snorted and looked totally unamused. "Shameless woman," she said and turned around, preparing to leave.

It was at the same moment that the disapproving look on Selena's face disappeared in an instant, and she wore a smile on her face instead.

Looking at her back, Everleigh smiled even more.

At this moment, inside Theodore's room, a furious Leon questioned, "What the hell were you thinking? Who am I doing this for? Didn't you say that you still love her?"

Sitting on his bed, Theodore handed over the snacks to Adrienne, to which she ate happily, with butter smeared over her lips.

"Daddy, are you going after Mommy?"

"You don't like it?" He asked softly. His heart felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness. If he really wanted to pursue her, it would be better to build a close relationship with the children first, for they were also very important to him.

Adrienne was in a dilemma, as she did not know who to choose.

Uncle Christopher and Uncle Stainley were both quite good, but....

"There's no need. Mommy doesn't like you," said Alastair who was standing at one side frowning; his tone had a tinge of indifference.

All three of them looked at him, especially Theodore. A hint of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

"Alastair, your words really break Daddy's heart."

"Mommy is also very sad. Do you want him and abandon her?" His question stopped Adrienne from talking.

In the children's hearts, they loved their mother the most. Should she be hurt and saddened in the end, then they wouldn't want their daddy in their lives at all.

Leon looked at Alastair, and then at Theodore's facial expressions that seemed so similar. It felt as if he saw Theodore's face in the boy.

"I want Mommy."

Theodore's eyes sank slightly and his heart felt a little uncomfortable.

"See? Even your son and daughter won't help you. You're really..." Leon touched his forehead helplessly. He felt that someone like Theodore would never be able to have a wife anymore.

He acted as if he hadn't heard what Leon said. Ever since Josephine had mentioned that Everleigh still had him in her heart, he was indeed happy. However, he had also witnessed what had happened that day.

Even if she really liked him, she might not confess it so quickly.

Looking over to the furious Leon standing at one side, Alastair's eyes reflected a sense of indifference.

"What should we do now?"

"You can leave now."

"What?" Leon didn't seem to understand his words. Did it mean that if he left, then Theodore would get back together with Everleigh?

Theodore turned his head aside, his deep gaze filled with displeasure. Leon didn't dare to say anything else even if he wanted to, and could only leave resentfully.

When it was getting dark, Everleigh came to pick Alastair and Adrienne up to return home.

Adrienne fell asleep soundly on the hospital bed after snacking. Theodore sat on the sofa checking his mobile phone. Alastair was also sitting on a chair on the side. There was zero interaction between the

two.

"Alastair, time to go home," Everleigh opened the door, but didn't have any intention of coming in.

"Okay," he responded and got off the chair to wake Adrienne up.
