Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 14

Night fell and Everleigh coaxed the twins to sleep. She closed the door gently and went back to her room to rest.

For the past few years, Christopher had been a huge help. Otherwise, it was impossible for Everleigh to handle her studies if she had to take care of the twins on her own.

Although Alastair was quite obedient, his sister would always persuade him into doing things. Therefore, the twins would always be partners in crime.

Ever since the twins could walk, Everleigh had nothing but troubles. However, the twins did bring her great memories throughout the years.

Concurrently, in the guest bedroom, Adrienne peeked at the door from under the quilt. Immediately, she turned to remove the quilt and jumped out of bed. She ran to her brother's bed across the room. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Alastair was already asleep when something snuck into his bed. He sighed, "Adrienne, you're already seven. You can't sleep with me anymore."

Yet, he moved a little further to make space for his sister.

Adrienne poked her head out and winked at her brother. "I overheard Mommy when she was calling Christopher today. She mentioned

Daddy."

"And?"

"Daddy's here. Mommy said she saw him at the hospital."

"Then?"

"Mommy never had a boyfriend. She must be waiting for Daddy. If Daddy knows about us, do you think they'll get back together?"

Alastair frowned. "Adrienne, we can't get involved. It's no use crying over spilled milk."

Adrienne did not pay any attention to her brother's remarks. She muttered, "I think Daddy must be very handsome. I want to know what kind of person he is. I'm going to find him."

Alastair scowled when he noticed the animated look on Adrienne's face.

He had a feeling that his sister was getting into trouble again.

Everleigh was suspended from work, thus it was a rare opportunity for her to rest at home. Previously, she did not have time to clean up the apartment, therefore she took the chance to tidy up things.

She did not need to worry about the twins. They were better at ordering food delivery than her. Adrienne was a sweet talker. An ice-cream trip to the mart could end up with her receiving a lot of free snacks from the vendor.

The only downside was that the twins would go

missing if Everleigh did not pay attention.

She did not expect anyone to be able to watch over the twins. After all, they boarded the plane by themselves. It was very likely that a human trafficker would be tricked by the two troublemakers.

After resting for a few days, Everleigh bought some gifts and went back to the Trevino family.

She never went back for seven years. She was a little uneasy when she stood at the entrance. She was rooted to the spot and she could not move.

The gate to the villa opened with a creak. The housekeeper, Helen, came out with a garbage bag. Helen went blank when she spotted Everleigh. "Miss Everleigh?"

"Miss Everleigh, is that you?"

Helen seized Everleigh and the latter's eyes turned red. "Helen."

"You've been gone for so long. I think it has been seven years? You're such a stubborn child. To think that you ran away after your father scolded you. I never thought that you would be gone for seven years..."

Helen began wiping her tears as she spoke. "Look at me, why did I bring that up? It's great that you're back. Let's go in."

Everleigh followed Helen into the courtyard and glanced around. The garden still looked like how it did seven years ago. The plants were trimmed and the swing in the courtyard was still there. However, it looked a little old and no one seemed to be using it.

Before she entered the house, a graceful figure blocked the way.

"Oh, I was wondering who it was. Miss Everleigh, have you finally decided to return?"

Everleigh looked over her shoulder. "Selena?"
