Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 157

"Client?" Theodore's gaze fell on Everleigh.

"Yes." Without waiting for Everleigh to speak, Adrienne walked into the room and said, "Mommy said that she was treating a client, so her work in the hospital has been delayed."

She delayed her work in the hospital?

"Adrienne." Everleigh came to her senses. "Didn't I tell you to stay in the car? Let's go," she said.

"Did I disturb your work?" Theodore's words interrupted Everleigh, who was pulling Adrienne.

She frowned, picked up the medical kit and said, "Not really. It's just that the hospital formed a group of volunteers to go to the countryside for some work, but I didn't follow my colleagues there. It doesn't matter if I go there a few days later."

"Theodore, are you sick?" Adrienne asked. While Everleigh was lost in her thoughts, Adrienne had already walked up to Theodore. With her head tilted, she examined Theodore with a worried expression on her small face.

Theodore took her hand and pulled her up to sit on the couch. His voice was very soft as he said, "Yes, I'm sick."

"Theodore, did you sneak out to get caught in the rain?"

Theodore's mind went blank for a moment. He didn't understand.

Adrienne said to herself, "You will get sick if you get caught in the rain. It's very uncomfortable to get sick."

In Adrienne's rare experience of illness, she got sick because of the rain several times. Although she still didn't know how to swim, she loved to play with water. In Maniville, Everleigh and Christopher hated rainy days the most. In a moment of carelessness, Adrienne ran out and got caught in the rain.

Looking at Theodore's puzzled expression, Everleigh wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.

Although Theodore didn't really understand, he was very patient to listen to Adrienne's childish words. He grabbed a bunch of grapes from the fruit plate on the coffee table and popped one into her mouth.

Adrienne ate the grape, making herself feel at home, and said vaguely, "Theodore, when you are sick, you need to drink lots of water and sleep more. You can't run around. Then, you can get better quickly."

"Yes, okay."

"Also, you have to eat properly. If not, you will get sick too," she said.

"Adrienne, are you hungry?"

Adrienne rubbed her belly and blinked her eyes. "A little bit."

"Eat something before you leave." Theodore raised his head and looked at Everleigh. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Everleigh carried the medical kit and stood still for a long time. Looking at the inexplicable harmony between her daughter and Theodore in front of her, she had mixed feelings in her heart. Her silence was taken as agreement.

Alastair stayed at the door. He wanted to catch his younger sister, but he couldn't make it in time. After eavesdropping for a while, he turned and went downstairs quietly.

In the dining room on the first floor, the new chef had finished preparing the meal. Moses was helping to set the dining table. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Alastair come downstairs and sit down on the sofa in the living room, and he smiled.

"Joanne, please make some dessert," he ordered.

"Okay." Joanne also looked towards the living room. Women her age were full of joy when they saw a child. "This child is really handsome. Is he Young Master's son?" she asked.

"No, it's Dr. Trevino's son," Moses replied.

"Oh?" Joanne took one more look at him in surprise. "He looks so much like Young Master."

"Go and do your work. Don't say that in front of the Young Master in the future,"

Moses frowned and reminded Joanne in a low voice.

The results of the paternity test had come out. These two children had no blood relationship with the boss. Because of this, the boss was depressed for a long time back then.

After Joanne entered the kitchen, Moses packed his things and was about to leave. He greeted Alastair and placed the fruits that he had just washed on the tea table before leaving.

"Alastair, take whatever you want. There's more in the refrigerator, so help yourself."

"Okay." Alastair nodded politely and his eyes were calm as water. "Thank you, Mr. Lawson."

The sharpness in his eyes was exactly the same as that of the boss.

If it wasn't for the results of the paternity test, Moses would've also thought that this child was the boss' illegitimate son. Was it possible that the paternity test...

Moses frowned, and a thought suddenly flashed across his mind. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

He said, "Alastair, I have something to do so I have to go now. Later, help me tell your mother."

"Okay, Mr. Lawson. Goodbye," Alastair replied.

Moses left in a hurry. When he reached the door, he stumbled and looked nervous.

As night fell, all the dishes were served on the dining table of the villa.

Because of Adrienne, Everleigh stayed back with her children at the Godfrey Mansion to have dinner.

Adrienne sat next to Theodore the whole time. She didn't even need to move her hands; she just opened her mouth wide and let Theodore send the food into her mouth as she nibbled on the food.

"It's delicious."

"Eat more." Theodore picked up the spoon of food and blew on it before feeding it to her.

Everleigh said seriously after seeing the scenario, "Adrienne, eat by yourself."

Theodore was still injured, so logically speaking, it was best for him to rest on the bed. However, looking at the stack of documents on the desk in his bedroom, she knew that it was impossible for him to lie down and rest all day long.

Adrienne mumbled to herself and reluctantly picked up her spoon, but her short hands were really not long enough to reach the dishes.

Theodore picked up some of her favorite dishes and placed them on her plate. He ordered the chef to bring two bowls of soup and put them aside to cool them down.

Everleigh said, "Don't worry about them. They can eat by themselves."

Alastair was his usual self. He followed the rules of eating strictly without saying a word and ate silently. His presence was low key and understated. Theodore served him dishes, but he just nodded his head in gratitude. He didn't have the slightest expression on his face.

As for Adrienne, she was hyperactive. Her butt would not stay on the chair. She crouched down for a while and then stood up. She didn't hold the cutlery properly in her hands and insisted on playing with Theodore. She kept saying, "Theodore, I don't have enough. Theodore, I want to eat that."

This kid had never been so pretentious before.

There wasn't the slightest hint of impatience on Theodore's face. As Theodore peeled the shrimp for her, he said, "If you don't pamper a girl, they will get easily fooled in the future. They will leave with anyone who gives them the slightest bit of attention."

After saying this, he finished peeling the shrimp and popped it in Adrienne's mouth. However, the little girl turned her eyes and pushed Theodore's hand in front of Everleigh. "I'm full. Let Mommy have it. She loves eating shrimp," she said.

Theodore's hands were slender and long, and his knuckles were distinct. He pinched the tail of the shrimp between his thumb and index finger and hovered it over Everleigh's plate. It was as if he hadn't expected Adrienne to say something like this.

Everleigh looked at Adrienne. Just as she was about to say something, Theodore placed the shrimp in his hand on her plate.

Everleigh was stunned for a moment. Her words hung at the edge of the mouth, then she swallowed them back down. While looking at the pink shrimp on her plate with a complicated expression, she found her own voice after a long time and muttered, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Theodore replied.

"Dad... Theodore," Adrienne seemed to want to say something, but she was annoyed because she said something wrong. She muttered, "Theodore, I still think it sounds better to call you 'Dad', but Mommy said it's impolite and you would get angry! Will you be angry?"

Everleigh's heart tightened.

Without waiting for Everleigh to reprimand Adrienne, the man's calm and serene voice came from the side, "No."
