Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 5

Josephine decided that she could not let Everleigh stay in Ocpeace City.

At the same time, in the office.

Everleigh turned off the speaker. She felt a lot better when she heard the soft voice on the other side of the call. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"I think you're Adrienne."

On the other end of the line, the little girl got upset. She retorted angrily, "Humph, Mommy, why do you always get it right? Alastair and I have the same voice."

Before Everleigh could speak, she heard Alastair's voice in the background. He was very composed and he acted like an adult. "That's because I won't do silly stuff like you."

"Who are you calling silly? I just... just..." Adrienne suddenly sobbed. "I miss you, Mommy."

Everleigh was saddened when she heard her daughter cry. She comforted, "Adrienne, there, there. Christopher just needs to wrap up some things and he'll bring you here after he's done."

Adrienne bawled at the mention of Christopher's name. "Christopher doesn't want to go back. Christopher has a new girlfriend and he brought her home. I was so scared."

Christopher Meyer!

He changed girlfriends way too often. He even brought women home? It was a bad influence on the kids!

Everleigh frowned and uttered, "Adrienne, don't cry. Let your brother answer the call."

Adrienne was crying her eyes out and she could not even speak. Therefore, Everleigh decided to get Alastair.

"Mommy." Alastair's voice came from the other end of the call. He was so composed that she did not feel like she was talking to a child.

Everleigh asked, "Did Christopher bring his girlfriend home again? Did they scare you?"

Alastair answered curtly, "No."

"Then why did Adrienne..."

"Yeah, he brought a woman back home but they didn't scare us. In fact, I think Adrienne scared Christopher and his girlfriend."

After Alastair's explanation, Everleigh finally understood what happened.

Christopher promised Everleigh that he would not fool around and he would take care of the kids before she returned. However, old habits die hard, thus he probably got drunk and brought a woman home with him.

He was drunk and he totally forgot that there were children in the house. They were going to make out in the living room.

However, Adrienne suddenly appeared. That night, she was wearing a white nightdress and her long hair was hanging over her shoulder. Her face was flawless and she was holding a doll. The thunder was rumbling outside the window as she stared blankly at the couple on the sofa. Adrienne asked innocently, "Christopher, what are you doing?"

Christopher was so frightened that he rolled off the sofa.

After listening to Alastair's serious explanation. Everleigh could imagine what happened. Although she felt sorry for Christopher, she could not help but burst into laughter. She leaned back in her chair as her laughter echoed in her office.

"Mommy, why are you laughing? You're horrible," Adrienne exclaimed furiously. She was still whimpering as she added, "I don't want to live with Christopher anymore. Mommy, I miss you."

"Okay, Adrienne, be a good girl. After I'm done with work, I'll go get you and Alastair as soon as possible, okay?"

"Mommy, you're lying. I don't believe you anymore. We'll go and look for you."

They were just two little kids and Everleigh took it as a joke. She did not take it seriously and asked patiently, "How do you and Alistair plan to find me?" "We'll fly to you!"

Everleigh was at a loss for words.
