Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 87

They were only one road away from each other, but Theodore sat in his car, quietly looking at the figure in the other car. He wanted nothing more than to get out of the car to ask her about it, but he resisted all his desires.

Everleigh was a woman who was strong and analytical. She would always be calm upon facing trouble and rarely lost her temper. Her splashing Josephine with water today was already an unbelievable thing to him. The fast driving on the highway and the intense crying in her car confirmed his assumptions that something must be wrong.

"Mr. Godfrey, Dr. Trevino has started her car. Should we still follow her?" His assistant's words snapped Theodore back to reality. He gave a low hum in response and the car started to catch up. The car followed Everleigh all the way to the entrance of her estate, and after he watched her car enter the gates, Theodore sat in his car and watched the gates close.

The car was quietly parked to one side. The assistant held the steering wheel and saw the complex expression on his boss' face through the rearview mirror. He could not help but blurt out, "Mr. Godfrey, you really care a lot about Dr. Trevino."

Theodore frowned, but only slightly. Although he was unwilling to accept it, it was the truth. Ever since he knew that Everleigh had returned to Ocpeace City, he found it hard for him to not pay attention to her. Even bystanders could see his actions clearer than he did.

"What do you think about the things that happened today?" He asked.

Moses was stunned, this was probably the first time that Theodore had asked him for his personal opinions. He was at a loss for a while, but he eventually said, "Perhaps there was a misunderstanding." Theodore remained silent, but from the looks of it, he wanted him to continue.

"Dr. Trevino looks like a person who is easy to get along with. She would not clash with other people for no reason, and it was even in public too. No matter how you look at it, this would not be beneficial for anyone, so I think Miss Bailey must have said some things that had angered her."

"What could it be?" Theodore was deep in thought.

"I am unsure about this." Moses looked at Theodore hesitantly, only to realize that he was looking outside the window, as if he was talking to no one.

Although Moses did not have much contact with Everleigh, it was not hard for him to understand her personality. Her splashing water on Josephine was truly incredible.

After a while, Theodore asked Moses to start the car.

The black car gradually left, rejoining the traffic on the street.

Theodore said, "Go and investigate the matters of her children's school application. Help her complete the entrance procedures."

"Yes, Mr. Godfrey."

It was very late at night, in the living room of her apartment and bottles of wine were piled up on the table.

Everleigh hugged a pillow and laid on the sofa; her head felt heavy. Usually, when her kids were by her side, she could only suppress her feelings. Now that her kids were staying in the Trevino family's place, she was alone in the apartment.

She was not good at drinking. After a few bottles of wine, she was already tipsy. Her body was weak, and that helped her fall asleep easier. She still had to work the next day so she had to rest well. However, as soon as she closed her eyes, all she could see were the scenes of the past.

She and Josephine had known each other for a long time. The Bailey family and the Trevino family had had business deals in their early years. Even though their families gradually lost contact, the two of them had always had a good relationship. They were the best of friends and even enrolled in the same University. Most of the time, they stayed together.

It was because of her openness to her best friend and a lack of defenses that had hurt her.

She was dizzy, but she did not know if it was because she was drunk or too tired. She did not even know if the memories she was reliving were real or if they were just a dream.

"Everleigh, are you really going to enroll in Dr. Harrison's lab class?"

"Yeah."

"Then you're in trouble, I heard that Dr. Harrison does not like students who are in a relationship. He thinks it will distract students from classes. If Dr. Harrison knows that you have a boyfriend, then your chances of entering will not be high, right?"

"Are you serious? How dated is his mindset? He doesn't even let people be in a relationship?"

"I don't know. I heard it from my seniors, all the lecturers here have their own preferences."

"How could that be, I can't even openly admit I'm in a relationship anymore."

Everleigh said, "Josephine, the senior in your Arabic class seems to be pursuing you, right? He seems nice."

"Everleigh, don't talk nonsense. There's nothing going on between us."

"You're so young, why don't you want to be in a relationship. Your foreign language class is not as busy as my medical classes so you've got plenty of time."

"I don't want to."

"Is it because you have someone you like?"

"No, I don't have any."

"Then why are you blushing? Hurry up, tell me. I want to know who is lucky enough to be liked by you."

"No, there really isn't."

The campus in her dream was still the same as the one in her memories. Warm lights shone through, the air was clean and comfortable too, but it was like a big bubble that could easily pop. With a 'bang', the bubbles from the alcohol popped and the scene of her dream shifted from her campus to their graduation day.

The surroundings were noisy and many people passed each other, but all this seemed to be covered by a vague illusion, which made Everleigh feel confused as she was lost in the crowd. Suddenly, a voice came from her shoulder. "I can't drink anymore."

Everleigh was stunned for a moment. She looked at Josephine, who was leaning on her shoulders. Her long hair was scattered about and her face, which had no makeup, was flushed with drunkenness. It was obvious that she had drunk a lot.

Everleigh looked up and the bustling scene in front of her, and she returned to her senses.

Was that the graduation party of the Foreign Language Institute?

Students from the school of medicine had to study for at least five years, and this was the graduation party of the foreign language department. As the school with the most goodlooking people, plenty of students from other institutes would gather around for fun.

"Why are you so drunk?" A familiar voice could be heard in her ear.

Everleigh was stunned once more. She turned around and looked at Theodore.

He was in his early twenties, dressed in a casual suit. At first glance, he looked clean. His brows were deeper than those of his age, but not as cold. Rather, he seemed to be more carefree and easygoing. "Theodore," Everleigh said in a daze. She wanted to reach out to touch him, but she found out that she could not raise her hands at all.

The next second, a sound came from within her body. "Theodore, Josephine has drunk too much. Please take her home. She no longer lives in her dorm. She lives at home now."

She was extremely surprised, but she could not control herself. It was as if another soul was resting on her body. She could only watch with her eyes wide open as history unveiled before her very eyes. Theodore asked her, "What about you?"

"I will go to the lab later. After that, I will return to the dorm."

"I will send you back to the dorm first."

"It's alright. I didn't drink."

After leaving the banquet hall, Everleigh escorted the two of them to the door. After helping Josephine into the car, she waved at Theodore through the car window. Theodore looked very worried. "Call me wher you reach the dorm."

"Sure thing."

The taxi gradually drove away. In the dark night, Everleigh walked alone. Perhaps because the breeze of the night was too strong, she began to feel groggy on the way to campus. Don't go that way, don't go...

She was dreaming and in her dreams, no matter how hard Everleigh tried to remind herself, she could not stop the elusive figure. She walked along the empty street and finally entered the dark alley.
