Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 316

Everleigh had become accustomed to receiving gifts from her.

Every time they came, Mrs. Harrison would prepare lunch boxes for them.

She was very sad to part with the children, so she asked Everleigh to bring the children over whenever they were free.

When Everleigh returned home, she saw Selena giggling on the phone. The emotions in her eyes could be seen clearly.

"Go replace Hilda and wash up."

"Okay." Alastair and Adrienne went upstairs.

Everleigh sat next to Selena and took a sip of the tea on the table. Seeing that she had no intention to leave, Selena asked, "What are you doing?"

Who's the lucky guy?"

"It's none of your business!" Selena snorted coldly before she turned sideways with her phone.

Everleigh knew what love felt like, so she knew how it felt to be swept up in all the emotions.

She noticed Selena's change as soon as she entered the door. She used to dress rather modestly at home, and she only ever put on makeup when she went for shoots, but now, she had learned to put on makeup and paid attention to her appearance.

That meant that she was in love.

"Selena, you should choose carefully when you look for a boyfriend. Don't be like me."

"Don't worry. I won't learn from you, but there is one thing worth learning though. If you can accept a man like Christopher, is there anything you can't do?"

These words made Everleigh stunned and her expression changed. She looked appalled, as if she had remembered something.

Seeing her face turned pale, Selena knew that she had said something wrong, but she could not put her pride aside to apologize. She put away her phone and returned to her room.

Everleigh sat on the sofa alone, deep in thought. It was not because of Selena's words that she felt embarrassed. She did not like Christopher's reputation as a playboy either, but it seemed that she could still accept such a person with what Selena just said.

Could it be that the person whom Selena was dating was also a playboy?

No, she could not let her become one of those girls who got dumped by guys like Christopher.

Thinking of this, Everleigh took her phone to the garden and dialed a phone number that she was very familiar with.

"Everleigh, are you out of your mind? Just because you don't sleep in the middle of the night doesn't mean that I don't sleep either."

"Christopher, I need you to help me replace out who Selena has been in touch with recently."

"Are you bored? What does it have to do with you?"

"How does it not matter? I don't want her to be deceived."

He was very frustrated. She hadn't dealt with her own problems, yet she wanted to meddle in other people's affairs. Not to mention that Selena was not very kind to her.

"Okay, I got it," he replied and hung up the phone.

The next day, Everleigh did not receive a call from Christopher. Instead, she received a call from Cecil. "Hey, Cecil."

"Everleigh, are you home?"

Cecil's hoarse voice went off in Everleigh's ears. She was slightly startled and an ominous feeling surged up in her heart. I'm here. What's wrong with you?"

"I'll be at Blu Cafe waiting for you. Come over, I have something to tell you." Cecil hung up the phone as she finished her words.

Everleigh still had something to ask, but she was left with the dial tone from the phone.

Blu Cafe was the most famous coffee shop in Ocpeace City. The coffee here was the best and it was loved by everyone. The most important thing was that the staff members here kept secrets very well, and many people discussed business here. It was not only safe but also discreet.

When Everleigh arrived, she saw Cecil sitting on a chair with a haggard face. The private rooms were all soundproofed.

"Cecil, what's wrong with you? You didn't have a good rest, did you?"

"Everleigh, do you know that I was cheated?" Cecil said with a wry smile.

Everleigh was puzzled; who would try and deceive Cecil?

"What's going on?"

"I went and looked into Diana. I thought of her as my own biological sister but I never thought that she would plot against me like this. When I was with Leon, she hid her identity, but..." As Cecil went on, she was heartbroken.

She did not care so much about relationships, but she cared about how far her sister went to scheme against her. She had never expected any of that.

Then, Everleigh learned from her that when she and Leon were together, her sister didn't tell him her true identity, but pretended to be an outsider instead.

She told Diana about Leon before, and Diana even gave her her blessing in person.

However, Cecil didn't expect her to seek out Leon privately. She told him that Cecil only wanted to play around with him and that she didn't mean to actually be with him.

Plus, the Allen family was not good enough for the Hayes family either.

Alas, Cecil was none the wiser.

At the time, she remembered that Leon asked about her family affairs several times, but she'd resolved all of the issues. Hence, she thought that he had no idea what was going on. Then, Leon gradually became distant from her.

Upon hearing this, Everleigh felt speechless, "So... After you found out, does Diana know about it?"

"How could she know when she's not here? I just can't figure out why she did this to me." As Cecil spoke, her eyes were full of sadness.

She also had a big quarrel with Christopher because of her.

"That's not right. Didn't you say that you were the one who wanted to break up with Leon? Why does it seem like he doesn't know anything?"

If they really broke up because of this matter, then it was he who should be angry at Cecil, not the other way around.

Cecil's eyes were gloomy, and her anger followed up soon after. "That's because Leon got drunk at a bar and was drugged by Diana. She also sent me a photo, so I always thought that he betrayed me." "Ah? Then... What about Christopher? Aren't you looking into this matter?"

Cecil thought it was hilarious when she heard the name 'Christopher'. "He was sucked into this by accident," she said.

"What do you mean?"

"At the time, Christopher and I were friends but Diana thought that he was my boyfriend. She played the same tricks and wanted to sow discord between us. However, she didn't expect him to be an expert at romance. Not only did she fail to provoke us, she got teased by him too. Diana even whined about him. I didn't expect things to be so ironic." Cecil couldn't suppress her anger.

Did Diana really think that she would be able to turn the tables in this situation?

She even blamed Christopher for this matter, but now it seemed that it was not the case at all.

He even punished her for Cecil's sake.

Everleigh listened but did not know how to persuade her. Christopher was really a playboy and he knew his way around things like these. It was really...

"What are you going to do now? Are you going to turn against your sister?"

"No, since she wants to play, I'm game. Nevertheless, I am sorry for what happened to Christopher." Cecil had to admit it.

She couldn't say that she wasn't wrong. If it wasn't for this, she would never know the truth.

"Don't be angry that I wasn't there when you were discharged from the hospital. "When Cecil picked up the coffee, she saw the wound on Everleigh's hand. Although there were no bandages on her hand, the red marks were still visible.
