Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 282

When Theodore heard this, he recalled that the last time he came here, it was Alastair who asked him to help out, but this time...

He clenched his fists tightly and a trace of emotion flowed out of his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Abraham with a firm gaze. "Mr. Trevino, I'm here to propose. I'm not lying. Your daughter and I have been together since seven years ago."

His words caused a commotion among the crowd. Seven years ago? Wasn't it when she was in college?

Abraham frowned, his eyes somewhat displeased as he looked at him. "So? What do you mean by appearing here?"

"I know that my presence has disturbed your gathering, but I just want to take advantage of today's banquet to explain the relationship between me and her," Theodore answered in a deep voice.

Christopher and Everleigh looked at each other and they saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. It was useless to say this now.

"Since you know that today is a family gathering, you shouldn't have come then. Don't you know you are embarrassing Everleigh like this? Don't you know that they're already married?" Abraham sternly answered.

Theodore shook his head. He didn't mean it this way. He just wanted everyone to know that he used to be with Everleigh and that he had truly come to propose to her.

"Mr. Trevino, you out of all people should know that this marriage is fake. Furthermore, Everleigh and I also have children together." Theodore didn't mind whether she was married or not. As long as he could be with her, he wouldn't care about anything else.

Even if it was a matter from seven years ago.

His words stunned everyone in the room once more. Everleigh and Christopher were actually faking their marriage?

This... How could this be possible? The Meyer Group was a member of the Four Great Families. How could they have allowed Everleigh to do such a thing?

Abraham's face immediately darkened, and he was on the verge of exploding in anger.

Not to mention him, even Vanessa and Samuel, who were standing on the side, felt very embarrassed. How could he say this in front of everyone?

"The children are not yours." Abraham snorted and didn't say anything about the marriage.

Theodore frowned in displeasure. Without further ado, he took out the DNA test and placed it in front of Abraham.

"Mr. Trevino, this is a paternity test. If you don't believe us, we can do it again, as long as Everleigh is willing," he said as he glanced at her.

However, she looked at him with an indifferent expression, as if she was looking at an irrelevant person.

Theodore was stunned. He thought that she'd react in a myriad of ways, but he didn't know what to do with her expression at the moment.

Abraham glanced at the DNA report. Even if he didn't see it, he believed that Alastair and Adrienne were Theodore's children.

Alastair was a duplicated version of him.

No one would believe that he was not Theodore's son.

Everyone in the room stared in the direction of Abraham; it was so quiet that they could even hear a pin drop.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of someone clapping, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

It was Christopher applauding as he chuckled and said, "Mr. Godfrey, what are you trying to say? Just because they are your children, you are asking Everleigh to marry you?"

"That's right. The children are mine, and their mother is mine as well. Furthermore, she and I were together seven years ago," Theodore said in an alarmingly cold tone. He didn't seem to show the slightest sign of giving up at all.

When Everleigh heard this, she sneered. They had been together for seven years, but it was just the beginning of a mistake.

And did he forget how she got pregnant with his children?

Hearing what he said, Christopher really wanted to scold him for being so shameless. How dare he still talk about what had happened seven years ago when all the pain she had suffered was because of him?

"People see many things they like in the store, but they never claim to own them. Mr. Godfrey, you should have some self-awareness."

"Christopher, I'm not here to argue with you. You and she are obviously faking the marriage, so why aren't you willing to let her go?" Theodore gritted his teeth. He didn't come here to shoot the breeze.

His heart was filled with fear. He was afraid that once that day's banquet ended, everyone would be certain of Christopher and Everleigh's relationship.

Then, he really would be left with no chance.

He was also very clear that it was an impulsive act of him to propose, but he had to come.

Christopher sneered as he looked around at the rest of the Trevino family who were gossiping.

"Fake marriage, so what? I have been with her for seven years and we were officially married while we were still abroad. Although the children are not mine, you can try to ask her whether she is willing to be with me or with you," he said mockingly.

Initially, he wanted to not say anything, but this man was pushing his limits too far, and Christopher could no longer keep quiet.

Theodore was shocked. The scene of the two of them being together kept replaying in his mind. The mere thought of this made his heart feel as if it was being gripped by someone else.

Could it be that they had really already...

Christopher smiled even more brightly in his heart. Didn't Theodore say that he didn't care? Now that he was showing such an expression on his face, he meant something completely different.

"Don't forget that blood is thicker than water."

"That's very true. When a child sees their own biological father, they will definitely be very happy. But Theodore, I'm going to ask you, where were you when she gave birth to them? Weren't you enjoying your life with Josephine?" Christopher's voice was not very loud, and there was even a hint of mockery in it.

His cold expression made Theodore speechless.

Everything he said was correct.

After Everleigh left, he was together with Josephine. Since they were best friends, she would definitely come back if Josephine got married.

However, he made a mistake. After news of the engagement spread, she did not show up and he placed himself in a difficult predicament. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Meanwhile, Everleigh didn't say a word. Looking at Theodore's expression, she had an unspeakable feeling in her heart.

She wanted to ignore the feeling, but it was still so painful.

It hurt so much that it made her feel pain when she breathed.

However, Christopher's hand on her shoulder unconsciously increased her resolve, as he was trying to encourage her not to be too pessimistic.

It was better to be strong as a person.

Everleigh's face was pale, which was very different from the appearance of the fairy like girl like a while ago. She pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly into a smile, indicating that she was fine.

"No, I didn't."

"No? Mr. Godfrey, what you said really doesn't have strength behind it. Who here doesn't know about the commotion it caused when Everleigh left the city and you got engaged to Josephine? We had heard a lot about you from abroad. Both of us saw it happening as well so what are you trying to deny?"

Christopher's favorite thing to do was to reveal one's faults, especially Theodore's.

He realized that his arrival that day was simply too timely.

Theodore's expression was unsightly as a cold and sinister aura filled his face.

Abraham was also very angry when he heard this. He thought that his daughter broke off the relationship with him for seven years for her children, but in the end, she got the news of this scumbag's engagement.
