Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 138

Everleigh saw through Adrienne's little gesture behind her back.

"Adrienne."

Adrienne hurriedly put down her hand because of Everleigh's voice. She raised her head with an innocent look. Her ability to change expressions was good enough to win an Oscar award. "Mommy, what's the matter?"

"What do you want to eat for dinner?"

Adrienne blinked and moved her eyes. "Mommy, why don't we eat outside? I don't want to wait until we're home. I'm hungry."

Everleigh heard this, raised her wrist, and looked at the time on her watch. It was exactly 6 pm. "Let's have dinner nearby then."

The swimming center was located in the commercial center and there were many places to eat nearby. The two children were not picky eaters, therefore Everleigh took them to walk around the shopping mall and finally stopped at a barbecue restaurant.

As soon as they sat down, Adrienne said that she had to go to the bathroom because her stomach ached.

"Did you eat something bad?" Everleigh was a little worried. She took her bag and said, "I'll go with you."

"No need, Mommy. I can go by myself. You can order the dishes." Adrienne pointed to the bathroom sign not far away. "I know where it is."

The bathrooms were all in the shopping mall outside the restaurants so they weren't too far away. Everleigh said, "Don't be naughty and come back as soon as you're done."

"Okay, okay."

When she was about to leave, Adrienne took something from her brother's bag and stuffed it into her little bag. Then, she ran away as fast as she could.

It was dusk at that time.

The street lights were gradually lighting up on the streets outside the malls, illuminating the bustling streets brightly.

A black Mercedes- Benz drove on the viaduct and there was some traffic at the peak of the weekend. The hands that held the steering wheel were slender and clean, but they were not relaxed. Blue veins occasionally popped out from them.

After getting off the viaduct, the car drove into the famous 1912 Bar Street in Ocpeace City.

There was no underground parking lot there, therefore it was common to see luxury cars parked all along the streets.

Just as Theodore's car came to a stop, he saw a flirtatious scene through the windshield at the entrance of Moonlight Bar.

A couple leaned against a telephone pole on the side of the road and were kissing passionately.

"Leon." Theodore's voice seemed out of place. It sounded as though he was trying to break them up.

The woman caught a glimpse of Theodore from the corner of her eye. She panted and reminded Leon, "Mr. Leon, someone is calling you."

Leon, however, remained unaffected. He continued his kiss with great passion and the woman could not stop kissing him because of his great skills.

Theodore was not in a hurry. He placed his hands in the pockets of his pants and kept two meters away from them. His voice was low and powerful, "I plan to advance the Silla Hotel's quarterly performance review meeting to the end of this month."

A chilly gaze fell onto Leon's back. His back stiffened and he finally stopped kissing. With one hand holding onto the back of the woman's head, he turned his head and showed a disappointed look. "Did you have to spoil the mood?"

"It's not me who is spoiling the mood, but it's your performance."

Theodore's expression was indifferent as he kept his hands in his pockets. His casual black suit was imposing. He was not much taller than Leon, but his calm and indifferent gaze made Leon panic.

Leon's temple began to twitch.

The two men stared at each other for a long time. Leon then patted the woman's shoulder and told her to leave first. Almost immediately, he changed into a smiling face and walked towards Theodore. "Theodore, my dear brother, let's talk calmly. You hurt my feelings when you mentioned my performance."

Theodore glanced at the arm that rested on his shoulder.

Leon smiled with embarrassment when he saw Theodore's disgusted look and immediately put his arm down.

"Okay, drink then." Once he was sure that it was because of Everleigh, Leon gave up. He spread himself on the sofa and shook his head repeatedly. "If it's about her, then I can't persuade you at all. Drink as much as you like. I will take you to the city hospital after this. She is a doctor there anyway. This will be another reason for the both of you to meet each other again."

Theodore's hand, which held onto the glass, suddenly tightened. "Seven years ago, she left Ocpeace City because she was threatened."

"Threatened?" Leon poured wine for himself. He felt that it was absurd when he heard that Everleigh was 'threatened'. He did not take it seriously and said, "Who dared to threaten her? She's Everleigh Trevino; she's the eldest daughter of Trevino Group."

"My mother."

"Auntie Madison?" Leon was taken aback for a moment. He slowed down his movements and looked at Theodore in surprise.

However, Theodore did not look at him. His usually cold eyes were in a daze. His voice was extremely oppressive. "Leon, I've misunderstood her for seven years."

Leon's gaze narrowed. "So what?"

Before Theodore could speak, the sound of his mobile phone vibrating came from his suit

pants pocket.

Leon was seated very close to him. He caught a glimpse of the caller ID when he looked at his phone. The word "Adrienne" was displayed on it.

"Who is that?" Leon asked in confusion.

He had never heard of such a person around Theodore before.

Theodore immediately pressed the answer button. His voice inexplicably softened, "Hello, Adrienne."

Leon, seated next to him, clearly heard the word "daddy" coming from the phone. In an instant, he was so shocked that he almost lost his grip on his glass. He looked at Theodore in horror.

It's only been a few days since they last met. How was it possible that Theodore had a child, who could even call him on the phone?
