Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 522

Everleigh looked at Alastair who was wearing a set of panda pattern pajamas, which didn't suit his stern, mature face.

"Come in." She sat up, let him sit on her bed, and covered him with her blanket.

"It's getting cold. You should wear something warmer."

"Mommy, your blanket is warm enough, so I don't feel cold," he responded in a childlike tone, which was completely different from his cold expression a moment ago.

She smiled lightly. "What do you want to talk about?"

"It's about Theodore. Mommy, how was the discussion? Logically speaking, I shouldn't be asking as I'm still a child, but Trevino Group has been affected because of this matter. I didn't tell Grandpa about it, as I don't want him to worry," he said with a serious look.

When Everleigh saw her son being so sensible, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't pleased and relieved.

"You'll know tomorrow."

Seeing that she didn't want to say it, Alastair didn't force her. However, he could confirm that everything would go as Theodore had planned.

The following day, Theodore's media statement appeared on the news. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

It reported that Everleigh and Theodore were a married couple, and they had children too. He even released the proof of the birth of their two children, together with the doctor's certificate.

The public was immediately in chaos after reading the news, and everyone turned their attention to the Meyer family.

Sure enough, the Meyer family's reputation was badly affected.

After reading it, Felicia didn't say anything, and gave Christopher a call. "You'd better solve this problem by yourself."

"You don't have to tell me, I'll deal with it myself." He had already expected it. It would happen sooner or later, so he was already well prepared.

Not long after Theodore made the announcement, Christopher released a statement that explained how he had met Everleigh.

Although the whole series of events made sense, it did affect the Meyer family's reputation.

Despite this, Felicia managed to keep everything under control.

Everleigh looked at the news, and felt even more guilty towards the Meyer family.

"You should meet the Meyer family and apologize in person," Abraham suggested after noticing her dejected expression.

She was more or less distraught.

"I want to, but now... It seems a little inappropriate. Everything has just happened, so if I go and apologize now, wouldn't it seem..." She was rather scared.

Abraham knew what she was thinking about, but even if she was scared, she still had to face it, lest it be said that she lacked manners or propriety.

At the same moment, Stainley had received the news too. Ever since he left, he had been following Everleigh's news closely.

He should've gone back long ago, but he was worried that she would overthink things and wouldn't know how to face him, so he chose not to go back.

However, it was time for him to finally return.

When he returned, Everleigh was quite surprised to see him. "Why are you back?"

"My internship ended a long time ago, but I didn't want to come back. Now that you're in so much trouble, I have no choice but to return. Believe me.

My testimony would be more convincing." He looked at her with a smile, and his love for her couldn't be hidden.

She closed her eyes and felt bad for him. "Stainley, you don't have to do this."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Whether it's a failure or a success, I will never regret it. Life is short, and we never know when it's going to end."

She didn't respond after hearing that. Seeing that he was so determined, there was nothing much she could do about it.

Talking too much would only make things worse.

He then released pictures of Everleigh and Theodore dating back then, which proved that he was also a witness to their relationship.

After that, her problem was finally considered solved.

However, their next problem was the Meyer family.

Everleigh and Christopher went back to the Meyer family's home together.

They had made a phone call before they went over, so all the family members were there.

"What's wrong? Let's get inside." Christopher saw her standing at the entrance while looking at the door. It didn't look like she wanted to enter the house.

"Will your parents be angry?"

"I'm certain they're not angry, just a little disappointed. Everleigh, I do have to say, you're really lucky that all the elders love you. You may not realize it, but my parents really like you, and my mother always wanted you to be her daughterin- law. Unfortunately..." He couldn't forget Vanessa's expression whenever she talked to him about it.

He couldn't tell her the truth.

That kind of feeling didn't make him feel good, and he also felt incredibly guilty towards his parents.

If it wasn't for his stubbornness, they would've been able to enjoy a comfortable life a long time ago.

She looked into his bright eyes, and felt a little uneasy.

"Christopher, have you ever loved me?"

He didn't understand her words at first, but after a few seconds, his eyes suddenly widened and he asked, "Wait, don't tell me that you've fallen in love with me? Let me tell you, I'm a man that you'll never get."

"Ew!" She responded with a smile.

Seeing that she was in the mood to joke with him, he knew that there was still hope.

"Let's go in now. Things are not as bad as you think." He walked over to her, held her hand, and walked in.

In fact, the both of them understood that their relationship wasn't based on love, but something that was beyond it.

They could both feel that they were a family.

They understood each other very well too.

As they entered the Meyer family's villa, Everleigh's relaxed mood tensed up again.

"Mrs. Meyer, Mr. Meyer," she greeted as soon as she entered the house.

Vanessa, Samuel, and Felicia were all sitting on the sofa.

Listening to the way she addressed them, their expressions froze, and they couldn't help but sigh.

"Everleigh, come and have a seat." Vanessa held her hands and invited her to sit down. There wasn't any resentment in her expression, but a hint of pity instead.

"I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Meyer. It's all my fault."

"You don't have to apologize. We all expected this day to come from the moment we knew that your marriage was fake, but we still had hope that you could become our daughter- in- law. We couldn't count on Christopher, so we put all our hopes on you, but now..." Vanessa said with regret.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Everleigh was even more guilt-ridden.

"Everleigh, although your marriage with Christopher has ended, the Meyer family still welcomes you here. Besides, I really like Alastair and Adrienne. I hope you don't distance yourselves from us just because of this incident, okay?"

Vanessa held her hands tightly and was reluctant to let go.

Everleigh nodded. "Sure, if you miss the children, I can let them stay here for a few days. Mrs. Meyer, I really want to express my sincere apologies. We had no other choice back then. I knew that once our marriage started, no one would be able to accept the ending."

Felicia lowered her head. When she looked up again, the sadness in her eyes disappeared. Looking at the 'heartless' Christopher sitting on the sofa, she couldn't help but get angry. "Now that you're divorced, Christopher, it's time for you to get married again and have your own kids. Do you want the Meyer family to end with our generation?"

Felicia's words were like a bomb that exploded over his head.

The few of them looked over at him.

"That's right, you couldn't even keep a good wife like Everleigh. Isn't it time for you to look for a new one?"
