Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 13

"You better explain yourself. What's going on?"

After calming down, Everleigh decided to make a phone call to Christopher to hold him responsible.

Before she returned to the country, someone patted his chest and promised her that he would not mess up. Before Everleigh settled the procedures to return from Maniville, he assured her that he would take good care of the twins.

"They booked the flight tickets with my phone."

"Where were you? Did you hook up with women again? You didn't even know that they took your phone?"

"That's not my fault. I just woke up two hours ago. Can you believe it? Your twins played some tricks on me and gave me sleeping pills. I slept for a whole day and I received over a dozen missed calls from the hospital. I'm getting dressed to go to the hospital right now..."

Everleigh poked Adrienne, who was eating a peach next to her, and lowered her voice, "You two drugged Christopher?"

Adrienne blinked at Everleigh innocently and shook her head. She licked the juice at the corner of her lips and asked, "What drug?"

Well, it was definitely Adrienne.

Everleigh knew her daughter. It spelled trouble every time Adrienne tried to act cute. Adrienne could even win an Oscar for it.

"Are those two troublemakers okay?" On the other end of the call, Christopher just put on his pants and he was ready to leave.

"They're fine. They reached me safely. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you."

"I need to hang up. If I don't go to the hospital now, the dean will kill me."

"Hey, wait a minute. When are you coming back?" Everleigh glanced at the twins. She patted her forehead and walked off to drink a glass of water. She continued, "I can't handle them by myself."

"Are you that heartless? Everleigh, they're your kids but I always end up changing their diapers. Am I your nanny? Where is your love for them?"

"I don't care." Everleigh leaned on the bar counter and added, "Anyway, they grew up with you. I can't control them. You have to come back as soon as possible or I'll die."

"Urgh! You should just go to hell. What did I even do to deserve this?"

Christopher complained but he did not trust Everleigh to take care of the kids. "I still need to complete some paperwork at the hospital. I'll try my best to get them done. Anyway, I'll take care of the kids but they better stay out of the way when I go on dates. By the way..."

Christopher asked, "You have gone back, then why don't you let them meet their father?" C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Everleigh stopped drinking and replied, "I saw him in the hospital."

In the living room, Adrienne's stomach was bulging after she finished a peach. She slid off the sofa to the carpet slowly. After that, she snaked her way to her brother, who was playing games.

"Alastair."

Alastair did not turn to look. He stated flatly, "Don't wipe your hands on me. Go to the kitchen and wash your hands."

Adrienne was annoyed when he exposed her. She pouted and went to the kitchen.

She was at the kitchen door when she heard Everleigh's voice.

"He doesn't know about Alastair and Adrienne. It's been so many years and it's pointless to tell him. Forget it. Besides, he's getting married next month."

Him? Who? Her father?

Suddenly, Adrienne's eyes lit up. She tip-toed to the kitchen door and pricked up her ears.

"Just let bygones be bygones. He's doing okay.'
