Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 269

Everleigh looked at her own reflection in Theodore's eyes and was very surprised. The Theodore she knew was always strict and meticulous. Be it work or people, he would never give in on the standards he expected.

Everyone thought that she was strong and wanted to be the center of attention, but what they didn't know was that she never wanted any of that.

"What do you mean? Do you think I can act as if nothing had happened after all this?" She told him slowly, her voice emotionless.

She even ignored the pleading look in his eyes.

"Everleigh, I'm sincere towards you."

"Really? Can you really let go of what happened that night?" She said lightly, but the sarcasm in her eyes was apparent.

Theodore's body swayed, and grief filled his entire body. He had always thought that he wouldn't care, but when she said those words, his heart felt like it was pierced by thousands of arrows.

"What's the matter now? I thought you were very sincere? Why the silence now?" She suddenly laughed, but the sarcasm in her tone was still there.

Those were all Madison's mistakes. Did he want to atone for her sins?

Ha... The both of them were a piece of work indeed.

Everleigh felt pity for herself when Theodore stood there without budging. She then turned around to leave.

Before she could touch the door handle, her hand was grabbed.

She glanced back at the man holding her hand.

"What are you doing?"

"You are not leaving this place." His expression darkened as his grip tightened a little.

She frowned and took a deep breath, but her tone was still calm, "Why?"

"Because I said so," he said coldly. He pulled her upstairs. Everleigh struggled, but there's no way she could fight a man's strength.

Thus, she could only follow his pace.

"Theodore, are you out of your mind? It's illegal to detain a person in private, this is against the law." Everleigh tried her best to pull her hand back, but she couldn't do anything about it.

He dragged her into the room and threw her onto the bed. He stood by the door but his gaze was horrifyingly indifferent when he stared at her.

"Stay here. Someone will come and take care of you later tonight." Then, he closed the door.

She rushed over, but it was too late. She heard the sound of the door closing, echoing in her heart repeatedly.

Then, she banged on the door and shouted a few times, "Theodore, open the door! Hurry up!"

He stood at the door with a cold expression on his face. The thought of Everleigh together with Christopher lingered in his mind, and it upset him greatly.

He had no choice but to resort to this.

At the time, Everleigh faintly heard the footsteps of someone walking away. She panicked and banged on the door even more desperate. "Theodore, Theodore, open the door."

He sat downstairs on the sofa with his legs crossed as a lot of thoughts crossed his head. Hence, he totally ignored her shouts.

She knocked for a long time and then gave up, eventually. She looked around the room and searched for another way out.

After she took a good look of the room, she froze with astonishment.

This room was exactly the same as her room from the past. The only difference was that there were no medical textbooks on the desk.

"Start anew? Theodore, there is nothing left between us!" She really wanted to laugh out of anger.

Her insults had no effect on him, and it didn't hurt him as much. Perhaps he'd already gotten used to it.

He hurt her too many times, and he wanted to make up for it.

However, she obviously was unwilling to give him the chance anymore.

Everleigh knew that she couldn't leave, so she headed upstairs. She had no appetite at all. Instead, she would rather starve herself to death than see Theodore again.

He sat in his chair motionlessly as he looked at the dining table filled with her favorite food. He couldn't make out what he was feeling at that moment.

Christopher, on the other hand, had made an appointment with Stainley. He said that he wanted to have a drink together. Hence, Stainley knew that he had something to talk about and he agreed to meet up.

"Come on, bro, order whatever you like. It's my treat."

Christopher said very generously and patted his chest in reassurance.

Stainley laughed at this sight and proceeded to order a bottle of beer. He was not very good with alcohol.

After three rounds, Christopher's face had turned a little red.

He burped and reached out his hand to pat Stainley on the shoulder, and said, "Buddy, to be honest, whatever you are doing at the moment, is not good for Everleigh."

"Why not?" Stainley turned his head around slightly, but the gentleman was gone, and what replaced it was an ice-cold aura.

Christopher waved his hand and it could be seen that he was mildly drunk.
