Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 494

Everleigh walked back to her office with great disappointment in her heart.

It would be wonderful if Xavier had really woken up, but unfortunately, it was just false hope.

Theodore heard about it too when he went over, but when he looked at Xavier lying on the bed, he felt a sense of loss.

In the evening, he brought Everleigh out for dinner. It had been a long time since they last had a good meal together.

"You should eat more, you've been working very hard lately," he said.

"Alright." She ate a lot, but the more she ate, the more she felt choked.

She finally realized that she would lose her appetite when something was bothering her.

"Are you facing some problems?" He asked.

"What about you? Are you facing any problems?" She asked him back.

Her troubles had always been never-ending.

Both the Jenkins family and the Godfrey family were troubling her badly.

Theodore didn't answer her question. It wasn't that he didn't want to say anything, but he just didn't know how to say it.

Wilson was in control of Godfrey Group, and many things had been happening. It seemed that he wanted to take full control of everything and push Xavier out of the picture.

The two of them suddenly fell silent. That meal had become a depressing one for the both of them. After the meal, he sent Everleigh back home. When she arrived at the door, he suddenly called out, "Everleigh."

"Yes?"

"Nothing. Rest well." His eyes flashed, and he only spat out the sentence after a long while.

She nodded, turned around and walked in.

The truth was, the both of them knew that everything that had been happening recently was extremely tough and stressful, causing them to be on the verge of breaking down.

They had a lot of things to tell each other, but they didn't know where to start.

Everleigh washed up and laid on her bed to rest. She took out her phone and hesitated on whether or not she should call Saniago.

However, what could she say to him if she decided to make the call? She pondered.

After thinking about it for a while, she gave up on the idea.

She didn't have the courage to do it yet.

The next day, she went to the hospital to work as usual. At the hospital, Christopher seemed to have been waiting for her. He walked quickly towards her as soon as he saw her.

"Great, you're finally here. You'll have to go home with me at noon. I'll let someone pick Alastair and Adrienne up," he said.

Everleigh was confused. "Why are we going over to your place?"

"Ysabelle is back, shouldn't you go and meet her?" He shrugged helplessly. He had a bad feeling that his hard-pressed life was coming back again.

She was startled. Ysabelle had returned?

Was she back for something else?

Of course, she had no choice but to go. She was still considered the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family, so she would have to show up to such occasions.

Christopher mentioned that Ysabelle had prepared gifts for Alastair and Adrienne, and they must accept it.

"I appreciate her kindness, but I don't think we can accept it. Your sister's gifts are way too expensive." She felt that she had done nothing to deserve it. Those items were supposed to be given to the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family. She was no longer one, so she simply couldn't accept them.

"You don't have to say that; you're still my wife after all. It's only normal for her to give gifts to her niece and nephew," he responded indifferently.

Everleigh opened her mouth and wanted to argue, but he didn't want to entertain her thoughts. "Just listen to me. Besides, I like the two kids too."

He looked unhappy. If she continued to refuse it, he would really get angry.

She didn't dare to go on, so she had no choice but to agree.

At that same moment, Alexander and his assistant were waiting at the airport. He had previously received the news that Annie would be back to settle some business, and would stay at the Jenkins family's home for a few days.

When Annie got off the plane, she immediately saw Alexander waiting for her. Her sexy red lips curled up slightly as she strode over.

"Alexander," she greeted.

"Annie," he turned around and looked at her.

She was wearing a long black dress, and her tall figure gave her a cold aura.

"I'm sorry that I have to disturb you for the next few days." Her pleasant voice rang out, and the pleasure in her tone couldn't be hidden.

He smiled and said, "Don't even mention it. Let's go."

Her eyes were sparkling brightly, and the love in her eyes was obvious. She could've stayed at a hotel, but she didn't want to, instead, she decided to stay with the Jenkins family.

Alexander was the man whom she loved, so she was delighted to spend some time together with him.

Just as they were about to walk out of the airport, they met Cecil, who was walking over from the opposite direction.

She noticed Alexander too.

"Cecil, where are you going?" He asked.

Annie stood aside, staring at Cecil who was dressed in a red dress and a white coat. She looked strong and charming.

She really hated women like her.

"I'm here to pick someone up, and you..." Cecil had already noticed that the woman standing beside Alexander was looking at her.

However, she chose to ignore her.

She knew very well that the only reason a woman would look at another woman like that was out of jealousy.

"I'm here to pick a friend up too, this is Annie Lawson," Alexander introduced.

Then, Cecil looked over to her and said, "Nice to meet you, I'm Cecil Hayes."

Annie showed her a faint smile in return to not be rude.

"Alright, I've got to go, I need to pick someone up now. We can go out for coffee sometime," Cecil said as she gave Alexander a wink and patted him on the shoulder.

Her actions caused Annie's expression to change a little.

Cecil saw the change in expression on her face, and her smile grew wider.

Then, she went inside the airport.

When Alexander and Annie got into the car, she couldn't help but ask, "Who is that girl? She looks pretty."

"She's the daughter of one of the Four Greatest Households, the Hayes family. We've only known each other for more than a year now. She's a kind and loyal friend." When Alexander mentioned Cecil, his eyes were shining like stars, and he didn't even notice it. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing that, Annie didn't make any comments, but her fists were clenched tightly, and her long fingernails almost pierced into her flesh.

"It seems like the both of you have a good relationship."

"Well, it's alright. We do go out for drinks sometimes," he replied.

She turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, and a dash of coldness appeared in her eyes. She would never let another woman get close to him, not even members of the Four Greatest Households.

The person whom Cecil was picking up at the airport was Thaud, her younger brother who was handling a case overseas.

He was dressed in a black suit, and his hair was frizzy. His eyebrows looked just like Lenold's, and his cool look gave off a scary feeling.

"Cecil, why are you here to pick me up? Don't you need to go to work?" He asked.

"I can take a break for one year, and don't have to worry about anything else," she answered calmly. As the eldest sister in the family, she had to have a strong personality.

He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. He knew what kind of person his sister was. He said in a deep voice, "Stop pretending. Have you gotten

into trouble abroad and decided to come back?"

She stared at him coldly. Did she look like the kind of person who would cause trouble?

Then, they got in the car. Thaud, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, asked again, "What trouble have you gotten into?"

"Nothing, I just think that some people in our family are starting to be dishonest and disloyal," she responded as she fastened her seatbelt.

He had investigated Diana's previous matters too. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to react in time.
