Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 204

"That's enough!"

The study room was eerily quiet, leaving only Theodore's cold deep words reverberating in the vast space.

Everleigh stopped unbuttoning her shirt suddenly. When she saw him coming out from behind the desk, she couldn't help but take two steps back, clutching her collar.

When Theodore saw this, he asked, "What are you afraid of?"

The gloominess in his eyes was something that Everleigh had never seen before. She retreated as if it was a natural reflex. The moment her calf hit the leg of the sofa, Theodore took a big step forward, closing in on her.

"Ah..."

With a scream, Everleigh fell backward. Before she could come back to her senses, a huge shadow loomed over her head and enveloped her.

She struggled in horror. "Let me go!"

Theodore was very strong, and he pressed down on her shoulder, pinning her to the sofa and rendering her unable to move.

A suffocating question came from above Everleigh. "Didn't you say that you could do anything for the sake of the Trevino family? Things are about to happen, but do you regret it?"

Everleigh's expression went stiff. The moment she looked at the man in front of her, her heart seemed empty, as if all the good things from the past were hollowed out all of a sudden.

Thinking of the declining stock price of the Trevino Group, the denouncement of the board of directors and most importantly, the fact that her father was still being interrogated and detained in the police station, Everleigh laughed bitterly in her heart. She slowly closed her eyes and stopped struggling.

If this was what Theodore wanted, she would give it to him.

"As long as you don't harm the Trevino family again, I'll do as you please."

There was no emotion in her words. She was like a marionette, like a walking corpse without a soul or thoughts. She laid on the sofa as if she was waiting for someone to cut her open.

Everleigh had her eyes closed, so she couldn't see the anger in Theodore's eyes.

When Theodore saw that the woman beneath him didn't seem to have any intention of struggling, he felt as if something was stuck in his chest. He wished he could dig out her heart and see what it was made of.

She could act without hesitation for the sake of the Trevino family. It was as if there was nothing in the world that she would care about other than them. It was so callous that it made one's heart grow cold.

"Everleigh, how valuable do you think your body is?"

An indifferent mockery came from the top of her head. The moment Everleigh opened her eyes, her shoulders suddenly felt light.

Theodore shook off her hand and said coldly, "Get out of here."

Everleigh gritted her teeth and stared at him.

"My father..."

"Get out!"

Theodore's cold voice echoed in the room, and every word was so cold that it made people tremble.

Looking at Theodore's cold and indifferent back, Everleigh felt that everything she wanted to say was stuck in her throat. The humiliation was overwhelming, almost engulfing all of her self-esteem. She regretted coming here impulsively. Right now, all she wanted to do was escape.

She did not know how she left the study room. Her mind was in a state of panic and disarray, and her steps were unsteady.

"However, Felicia did say that if the Meyer Group intervenes this time, there is no way to continue concealing the matter of our marriage. My parents intend to ease the relationship between you and your father, and have both family's parents meet."

The Meyer family had always known about the relationship between Everleigh and the Trevino Group. Even at some commercial banquets, the elders of the Meyer family had met Abraham before but they were only in a marriage out of convenience. When they got their marriage certificates, Everleigh had already fallen out with the Trevino family, so Christopher told his family that there were some unspeakable secrets.

The elders of the Meyer Group were very reasonable, thinking that Everleigh was a girl who lived alone in a foreign country with two children. If she didn't have some untold secrets, how could she have not connected with her family? Hence, they kept their marriage a secret and didn't ask any further.

If something was to happen to the Trevino family, the only thing Everleigh could rely on was the Meyer family's help. At this rate, the marriage between her and Christopher could no longer be concealed.

"It already came to this. I'm grateful that your parents are willing to help me. It's okay if we can't hide the thing between us." Everleigh didn't know what to say. She really owed a lot to the Meyer family and Christopher.

"It's fine if you don't mind." On the other end of the phone, Christopher's tone became relaxed again. "Just in time. When I finish my work at the end of the month, I'll go back and get dressed. The ugly son-in-law will have to meet his father-in-law, won't he?"

Everleigh felt uncomfortable in her heart, but knowing that Christopher was teasing her, she forced a laugh.

Christopher said, "It'll be alright. You'll see, things will be solved. Don't think too much and wait for me to come back."

"Okay."

After she hung up the phone, Everleigh stopped the car beside the road. There were many cars that passed by outside her car window.

Suddenly, the sense of being powerless that she had suppressed in her heart surged up like a tidal wave. She leaned against the steering wheel, bursting into tears.

She thought that after seven years, things would be different when she came back. She could find out the truth on her own and get an explanation.

But until now, she didn't find anything. What's more, she had even involved her father.
