Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 92

"I haven't seen Felicia be so generous to somebody before."

Christopher held the key to the house with two fingers, and his words were full of jealousy. "When I was in college, I asked her for a house to move into, and she gave me a single apartment. You are now living in that house. She's so stingy."

Everleigh looked at the key and felt dazzled. She immediately put the leather bag into Christopher's arms and said, "I don't want this. Take it and give it back to your sister. It's too valuable."

"It's okay. You can take it," Christopher said calmly. "The apartment you're living in now is too small. You can just move in with me."

"No, I can't."

"If you don't want to live there, I will," Christopher threw both keys into his pocket brusquely and said, looking sideways, "The apartment you are living in now is too small. This one's close to Adrienne's school. You'd better move in there. Felicia chose this house as it's nearer to the children's school and the hospital."

"There's no need."

"Don't refuse so quickly. There's a reason why I told you to move over and live with me."

'What is it?" "To keep it a secret and lower the opponent's guard."

Everleigh was slightly stunned as she looked at Christopher.

A rare serious expression appeared on his casual face, and his eyes were a little cold. "No matter whether Josephine did it or not that time, one thing is certain now; it has something to do with Theodore. Everything that happened to you after you returned to Ocpeace City has something to do with him too."

"So?"

"So now, you have to completely dissociate yourself from him. While ensuring your own safety, you have to slowly investigate the people around him, whether it's Josephine, Mrs. Godfrey, or anyone else. I've always felt that what happened back then is not that simple."

Christopher's words made Everleigh look more and more serious.

After calming down that day, she also felt that what happened that year was not just related to Josephine alone. She didn't have the ability to plan everything perfectly.

Although it was only ten minutes' walk between the school and the hotel where they had the dinner, it was on the most bustling street. However, she did not see a single person on her way back to school that night. There were no street vendors, cleaners who worked in the middle of the night, or even outcasts.

It seemed that the street had become an empty city, which was a problem that Everleigh couldn't figure out in these past seven years.

The person who schemed against her couldn't just be a small fry like Josephine.

When Everleigh thought of this, she clenched her fists and said seriously, "Okay, I'll take Adrienne and the others and move in there."

In the evening, the sun was shining on the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting its glow upon the grassy lawn.

In the dining room of the villa, the servant served the last dish. Apart from the clinking of cups, plates and bowls, there was almost no other sound in the dining room.

The three people at the table were extremely quiet, but no one felt that anything was wrong about it.

Mrs. Godfrey took the lead in putting down her cutlery and wiped the corners of her mouth slowly. The servant next to her quickly put away the plate in front of her and poured a cup of tea for her.

"At the end of this month, there will be a birthday party for Vanessa Collins of Meyer Group. I received the invitation, but I am going to Iverland at that time, so I can't attend. Theodore, take Josephine with you to the party." Josephine didn't say anything. Her eyes were filled with anticipation when she looked at Theodore.

Even though Theodore had already revealed her identity as his fiancee to the public, there were only a handful of people who knew her, and she had never attended any formal occasions with Theodore.

In the banquet of Meyer Group, the Meyer family was on par with the Godfrey family in Ocpeace City. At that time, all the aristocrats in Ocpeace City would gather together. This was the perfect opportunity for her to open up a new prospect.

Theodore replied with a 'hmm' and agreed.

Mrs. Godfrey nodded with satisfaction and gave Josephine a look, indicating for her to take advantage of the opportunity.

She never thought that this daughter-in-law was a suitable match, but she was very satisfied with what a good girl Josephine was as she had always listened to her. Therefore, she was happy to promote the relationship between the two of them and push Josephine to the public.

The daughter-in-law of the Godfrey family must be able to withstand everyone's scrutiny.

"I've finished eating. I have some business to attend to in the company, so I'll be leaving first," Theodore said as he put down his cutlery. As he stood up, he buttoned up his suit and gave Mrs. Godfrey a slight nod with a straight face.

"Can't you sit for a while after eating?" Mrs. Godfrey was a little unhappy. "Every time you come or go, you're in a hurry."

"Later, I have to go to Xavier's place and visit him. I heard from the doctor that he was not willing to rehabilitate again."

At the mention of Xavier, Mrs. Godfrey frowned slightly, but it was unknown as to whether she was upset or worried. At her age, hiding her emotions was what she did best.

Josephine and Theodore left together.

After the car left the manor for a long time, the car was very quiet. Josephine looked at Theodore's face and said, "When you visit Xavier later, I'll go with you."

"No, he hasn't been in a good mood lately and can't see any outsiders."

"Oh, alright then."

Josephine had seen Xavier's temper before. It was just a courtesy for her to ask him if she should go. In fact, she didn't want to deal with such an unstable person at all. When she thought of the man's gloomy eyes when she first met him, she felt all the hair on her body stand on end and felt a chill run down her spine.

After a moment of silence, Josephine asked carefully, "About what Mom just said, for the birthday party for Vanessa Collins of Meyer Group, you don't want to go, do you?"

Theodore didn't like to attend banquets. In his opinion, these were all unnecessary social interactions. He didn't need to rely on this kind of social interaction to maintain his business. It was rare for him to actually attend any banquets he'd been invited to.

"If you don't want to go, then forget about it. The doctor asked you to rest more. I'll ask someone to prepare a gift and send it to them in our stead. I think the Meyer family won't mind."

Originally, Theodore didn't want to go. He'd only promised Mrs. Godfrey because he didn't want to explain himself further. However, now that he saw Josephine being considerate and caring about his own health, he felt a little apologetic.

He held Josephine's hand and said in a calm tone, "It's okay. You just need to prepare yourself and attend the party with me at the end of the month. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard at all." Josephine let out a sigh of relief as a gentle smile spread across her face. "As long as I'm with you, everything I do is not hard."

Looking at the gentle and elegant face in front of him, for some reason, Theodore subconsciously compared her to another face. The two of them weren't actually on the same level. That face was beautiful, flamboyant, and independent, but the one in front of him was weak, gentle, and dependent.

Many men would be attracted to the first one, but no matter how beautiful and independent a woman was, if she was a fickle lover, she would only be a venomous snake.

It was enough to be bitten once. He would not pursue the matter of being bitten by a venomous snake, but he would absolutely not forgive the venomous snake. Thinking of this, Theodore's face darkened a little, and his dark eyes became more and more determined.
