Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 544

A sudden thought popped into Everleigh's mind about what Ysabelle had asked her before.

She was indeed the human definition of the business elite who could detect the problem at first glance.

The Meyer family searched each other's faces. They really had no clue about it.

However, Ysabelle's eyes brightened upon hearing what she'd said. She was none too surprised, as she had noticed the changes in her sister.

"Forget it; it doesn't matter whether they're together or not. Let's send someone to get Lenold now. Since Felicia has eyes on him, we can't just sit and wait," Samuel ordered in a deep voice.

Christopher and Ysabelle couldn't just turn a blind eye and do nothing. They took out their phones and called their men for help.

It was only then that Everleigh realized it was for a justifiable reason that the Meyer family was able to rise to their current position.

At least their family bond was stronger compared to other wealthy families.

Everleigh called Alexander to pick her up, and she had a favor to ask of him.

Christopher was not in a good mood. Although the victim was not one of their family members, he was Felicia's lover after all. As her younger brother, he could not ignore it.

"You don't have to worry. I heard that Lenold is very skillful. He maneuvers deftly around danger," Everleigh comforted him.

She didn't want anything bad to befall Lenold either.

Christopher knew a lot about Lenold. When he had been injured previously, he had met him. Even though he didn't know much about the incident, Christopher believed in Felicia's eye for people. If he was not perfect, she would never have eyes for him.

"Everleigh, are you going to the Hayes family home?"

"I will go and visit tomorrow. Cecil is my best friend, and I can't stand seeing her upset, and..." She let her sentence taper off.

He understood what she meant. In fact, he should have visited them as well, but... he could only blame himself for being a playboy.

Upon Alexander's arrival, Everleigh saw him and said, "I have to go. Update me when you receive any news."

"Yeah, I will."

She left without informing the parents of the Meyer family. After all, they were all too worried about Felicia, so she didn't want to disturb them.

In the car, Alexander asked her, "Why did you think about ringing me?"

"It will be very awkward if Theodore shows up in front of them, which is why I called you. What, are you not willing to?"

He burst into laughter. "Why would I? My cousin called me. It's my duty to come over."

Despite her smile, her eyes were crinkling with concern.

He had also come across the news on the Internet, and he was worried about Cecil.

He didn't know what was going on.

"Alexander, can the Jenkins family lend a helping hand to the Hayes family?"

"I've already sent people to look for him, but don't expect too much. He's gone to a dangerous place where not many people can reach. Even if he escapes, it will be hard to track him down." He had already studied the terrain well, and the search team was on their way.

However...

Shocked by his words, Everleigh asked, "When did you take action?" "When the accident happened, Cecil was having a meal with me," Alexander explained briefly.

It came as a greater surprise to her upon hearing that Cecil had been eating together with him.

And when had that been?

"Hold on, you two often go out for meals?" Now, this was news to her.

Although she didn't have to put her finger on their whereabouts, she was skeptical about their meetings. She suspected that they must have had more than one rendezvous.

Hearing this, he chastised himself inwardly as he had forgotten that Everleigh and Cecil were confidantes who hid nothing from each other.

The relationship between Cecil and him was...

She did some quick thinking and soon realized something. "Are you two dating?"

His eyes flashing slightly, he stepped on the brakes abruptly.

She almost got thrown out of the car. "What the heck?"

Thank God for the seatbelts. Otherwise, she would have ended up injured.

"I like Cecil," Alexander answered while looking forward. His expression was severe.

He didn't realize his feelings until Annie had appeared.

At that time, when she had declared that she was going to be engaged to him, his heart skipped a beat, and in his mind, he recalled Cecil's smile.

He had never had such feelings for a girl, and he knew what the feelings meant to him.

Everleigh saw that he was not joking and lapsed into a long silence. "Cecil and Leon were together before. You..."

"So what? Who doesn't have a history before? I don't care. I like her, no matter who she is." His feelings towards her were serious. Her past didn't matter to him.

It would be fine as long as he liked her.

Everleigh took a deep breath and looked at the scenery outside. In the past, she had once said to Cecil that if she had an elder brother, she would have let her be her sister-in-law. At that time, she hadn't had an elder brother, but now, she had one. As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for.

"Fate is really something that's hard to predict," she thought to herself.

"I'm going to the Hayes family tomorrow. You should come along." Everleigh felt that it was not a bad idea for the two of them to be together. At least it was much better than Cecil being with

Leon.

Alexander turned his head, and his eyes lit up slightly. She was pleased to see him this way.

"Why not."

He was worried that he wouldn't have a chance to visit them. Although they were friends, it was not appropriate for him to visit them without any heads up.

This could be an opportunity for him.

The next day, Everleigh went to the Hayes family home with Alexander.

Felicia hadn't gone home for the entire night. Cecil looked at her, who was seated on the sofa, spacing out. It seemed like she had a lot of things going on in her mind.

When Everleigh and Alexander walked over, Felicia came to her senses.

"Cecil."

"Everleigh." Cecil stepped forward and looked at Alexander. "Why are you here?"

"I'm the one who drove Everleigh here. While I'm at it, I thought that I could ask about your brother's situation."

Cecil knew that he was concerned, so she pointed to the seat on the other side and said, "Have a seat."

"Felicia." Everleigh walked into the room and saw her sitting motionless on the sofa.

Only when she heard Everleigh's voice did she anchor herself to her senses. "Everleigh."

"Don't worry. I've already asked the Jenkins family to send people to look for him. Whether there's a result or not, we can always count on at least some news."

Felicia looked haggard as she said with a bitter smile, "How could it be fine? Until now, there's not a word about him. I have just received a message from the army, and they all mentioned that there is not much hope."

These were the last words Everleigh wanted to hear, but it was inevitable.

"Don't be discouraged. I heard that Lenold is a battle elite. Maybe he's hiding somewhere and resting," she comforted her.

Cecil stood aside, her eyes red. No one could tell if she had cried earlier or if she had been up all night.

Alexander stood on the other side, his hands laced together. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

"Just sit around. I'll go to the kitchen and ask the servants to pour you guys some coffee," said Cecil. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

As if on cue, Alexander followed her.

In the kitchen, under Cecil's order, the servant went to get the coffee.

When she turned around, she saw him standing behind her.

"Why are you standing there?"
