Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 16

"It's Dr. Trevino from the hospital."

The driver, Emmett, recognized Everleigh. He met her at the hospital. "Mr. Godfrey, should we give Dr. Trevino a ride?"

In the back seat, Theodore pursed his lips. After the light turned green, he averted his gaze resolutely. "No need for that."

Emmett shivered and kept quiet. He immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

It was raining cats and dogs. A clap of thunder roared across the city. The menacing rain was seemingly trying to wash away everything in the city.

Theodore's brows drew together.

The inside of the car was so quiet that there they could only hear the rain pattering on the window. The car approached another turn and the thunder rumbled again. Theodore's temple throbbed. Without warning, he ordered, "Emmett, turn around."

At the bus stop, Everleigh was staring at an e-hailing app on her mobile phone. She sighed when she saw the long waiting list. She took out some tissue from her bag and wiped away the rainwater on her neck.

Her clothes were drenched and they stuck to her body. She was starting to think that she would catch a cold.

She was quivering when a black sedan stopped in front of her.

Everleigh was confused. The window rolled down to reveal a very familiar face.

Theodore glanced at her coldly and instructed curtly, "Get in."

Everleigh was taken aback. Maybe Theodore's tone was very forceful or perhaps she was too cold, she could not resist the temptation of a shelter. In the end, she got into the car absentmindedly.

As soon as she got into the car, Theodore asked, "Where do you live?"

"Huh?" Everleigh immediately realized a problem.

The twins were at home. If Theodore saw them...

"I live quite far away from here. I think I'll go back on my own." Everleigh tugged the car door handle hurriedly.

However, the door was locked as soon as she got in. It was impossible for her to get off. "The car..."

Before she could finish, Theodore ordered, "Emmett, Godfrey Mansion."

Theodore stayed in Godfrey Mansion.

After that, he glanced at Everleigh from the corner of his eyes. "I don't mind bringing you back with me.'

Everleigh's face changed. "No just let me get off. I'll hail a cab."

The car sped off. Naturally, the driver would only listen to Theodore and ignored Everleigh.

Everleigh could only accept her fate as she stared at Theodore's cold face.

"Forget it. Worse comes to worst, I'll just hail a taxi when I get to the gates of Godfrey Mansion," Everleigh decided quietly.

She was not aware that Emmett was studying her quietly from the rearview mirror. Theodore never brought women back to Godfrey Mansion, not even Miss Bailey, whom he was going to marry.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Godfrey Mansion. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Contrary to what Everleigh had in mind, the car drove into the gates of Godfrey Mansion. The plane trees on both sides of the road stood bravely in the rain. The gigantic trees led to a vintage mansion.

After getting out of the car, Everleigh froze at the entrance.

Theodore did not spare her a glance as he entered the mansion on his own.

It was raining heavily, hence she could not leave even if she wanted to.

"Miss Trevino, have some tea."

As soon as she entered the mansion, a maid brought her a cup of tea.

"Thank you." Everleigh nodded.

Theodore entered the house and went upstairs. He left Everleigh alone in the living room and she did not know what to do.

The maid brought her a set of clean clothes and said, "Miss Trevino, why don't you change your clothes?"

"It's okay. I'll leave when the rain stops."

"The rain will go on for a while. I can dry your clothes for you as you wait. You'll catch a cold if you don't change."

Everleigh glanced at the rain outside the window and she was a little tempted.

It would be very uncomfortable if she did not change. In the end, the maid managed to persuade Everleigh and the latter decided to head upstairs to get changed.

The maid mentioned that Everleigh could use the second room on the second floor. Yet, the maid did not tell her if it was on the left or right. Everleigh assumed that it would be the same. She tried knocking on the door and no one answered. Therefore, she opened a door and walked in with a new set of clothes.

The bedroom was huge but the interior was minimalistic. It looked like a showroom and no one seemed to be staying there. There was no sign of life or any personal belongings. The bedsheets were pure white like the ones used in hotels.

Everleigh lowered her head and unbuttoned her shirt. She just managed to undo two buttons.

Out of nowhere, there was a bang and a door swung open behind her.
