Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 191

When the banquet was about to end, the butler came in a hurry and said something in Helen's ear.

Helen frowned slightly and said, "He left early? Is he alone?"

"No, Mr. Theodore left through the back door and avoided everyone. I saw him holding a person, but I didn't see who it was as the face was covered."

Helen frowned even more when she heard that. She seemed to have thought of something and she looked around the banquet hall. However, she did not see the figure she wanted to see. She suddenly smiled.

"Alright, don't worry about him. Just let him do what he wants."

"Do you know who Mr. Theodore has taken away?"

"Does it need to be said?" Helen looked into the distance meaningfully. "Some people go for wool and come home shorn, then lose the bait along with the fish."

Following Helen's gaze, the butler saw Mrs.

Godfrey and Josephine talking in the distance, but he didn't know who Helen was referring to.

"You're saying that Madam Godfrey is..."

"You don't need to call her Madam in the future." Helen's tone was a little grim. "A lot of things have happened recently. I think she has stayed in the Godfrey family for too long and has been indulged too much. She can't even tell right from wrong."

"After all, Mr. Allen is her nephew. It can't be Madam Godfrey who did it, right?"

"She was the one who led the wolf into the room, wasn't she?"

Helen snorted coldly. Her eyes were full of shrewdness and wisdom. "This little trick won't be able to fool me."

The butler said thoughtfully, "Would you like to greet Miss Yvette?"

Helen waved her hand and said with a calm face, "It's okay if they break off the engagement. Let the young people handle their own affairs. This little monkey, Leon, hasn't made us feel at ease since he was a child. I've never thought he would win this marriage from the beginning."

Hearing Helen's words, the butler said nothing else.

Helen had been alive for so long, so she had seen everything. What happened that day might be ridiculous or shameful in other people's eyes, but it was nothing to her.

Through these trivial matters, she was even more convinced that it was not suitable for certain people to stay in the Godfrey family.

After the banquet, the cars in Swallow Manor left one after another, and the whole manor gradually quieted down.

Everleigh was in a deep sleep.

In a daze, she felt very cold and was very uncomfortable. She also heard a lot of noise. After a long time, she felt as if someone had called her name, and then she fell into a familiar embrace.

The familiar feeling convinced her further that this was a dream, the usual dream of the past seven years.

She was awakened by the chirping of birds outside the window.

The curtain wasn't closed properly and a glimmer of light came in through the gaps of the curtain. It shone on her face and her pajamas. She sat up while holding her aching temple.

Everleigh subconsciously reached to the bedside to take her mobile phone, but it wasn't there.

When she turned around and saw the white marble ornaments on the bedside, she was stunned for a moment. Only then did she realize that she was in an unfamiliar environment.

"Knock, Knock!" The door was knocked from the outside.

She became alert in an instant. She clutched the quilt and looked at the door.

With a creak, the door was pushed open from the outside. The maid opened the door. When she saw Everleigh sitting on the bed, she was stunned. "Dr. Trevino, are you awake?"

Everleigh looked at her warily and asked, "Where is this?"

"Here?" The maid answered truthfully, "This is Swallow Manor. You drank too much last night and Mr. Theodore arranged for you to rest here. Don't you remember?"

Drank too much?

Everleigh had no memory at all. How could it be possible? That was because she was there to work. She didn't even drink a drop of alcohol so as not to affect her work.

As the maid spoke, she entered the room and placed two large shopping bags on the bench at the end of the bed. "Dr. Trevino, these are new clothes."

Everleigh nodded and said, "Umm..."

"Is there anything else?"

"No." Everleigh was too embarrassed to ask when the words came out of her mouth. After the maid went out, she looked down at her pajamas and rubbed her hair. She couldn't remember what had happened the previous night.

She clearly remembered that she sent the waitress to the lounge, and then she seemed to have fallen asleep?

She didn't have time to think about it. She lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and went to get the clothes.

Before her feet touched the floor, the sound of a door opening could be heard. She raised her head abruptly and met Theodore's gaze. In an instant, she retracted her leg, as if she had been electrocuted. She grabbed the blanket and wrapped herself tightly within it.

"Why are you here?"

Theodore stood at the door, looking at her lightning-fast movements. He found it a little funny, and he closed the door when he entered.

"This is my room. Why can't I be here?"

"Y-Your room?" Everleigh was too nervous to speak clearly. "Why am I in your room?"

"Didn't anyone tell you just now? You drank too much."

"I didn't drink last night," Everleigh blurted out.

"What's going on? What did you do?"

Hearing this, Theodore's eyes darkened. Putting down the clothes he had taken from the wardrobe, he turned around and walked towards the window. "What do you think I've done?"

Looking at his figure getting closer and closer, Everleigh clutched the quilt tightly. "Don't come over..."

She was only wearing a silk nightgown with ribbons. There was nothing else underneath. Although she was holding the quilt, it still made her feel insecure.

Theodore had already walked to the edge of the bed, his tall figure almost shrouding more than half of Everleigh's body. Just his aura alone was enough to suffocate anyone. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Theodore bent over to look at her and said casually, "Didn't you tell me that you're an adult? And that you don't mind this? It's just a normal physiological need."

"Physiological need?" Everleigh's expression changed and she stuttered, "Last night..."

Theodore didn't explain anything. The moment he bent down, the unique scent of a man turned the air upside down. Everleigh felt as if her breathing had frozen and she couldn't think properly.

"You don't remember what happened last night?"

"I don't mind helping you recall then."

A low and deep voice caressed her ear, as if it had static electricity, making her feel extremely numb.

Last night? What happened last night?

Everleigh suddenly woke up. She was so scared that she tried to retreat and get away from the situation that was difficult for her to control. However, she moved so fast that she lost her balance and fell backwards.

By the time she returned to her senses, she was holding onto Theodore's tie. The distance between the two of them was less than five centimeters, and even the breaths at the tip of their noses had fused together.

Theodore rested his elbow on both sides of her, his usually cold eyes burning with passion. "I didn't expect you to take the initiative."
