Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 271

Christopher looked at the time and remained silent. He took out his mobile phone to check the GPS on Everleigh's phone, and it indicated that her phone was nearby. He followed the location shown and found Theodore's car.

Then, he sneered. "Let's see what else you have to say this time."

"I advise you not to take action just yet. Her phone being in the car doesn't explain anything. It's better for us to follow him and we'll have a bigger chance." Stainley also got out of the car without anyone noticing.

Christopher nodded as he agreed with Stainley's point. Theodore would most certainly not give out any piece of information at this point, even if he said that he knew that Everleigh's phone was in his car.

They drove out of there. Since they opted to tail him, they couldn't drive Christopher's car. It was better for them to use another car.

After they left, a man came out from the parking spot next to them and left the parking lot.

This person came to Theodore's office and said respectfully, "Mr. Godfrey, they have already left."

"Mm, get another car for me," Theodore ordered, his eyes still on the documents.

"Yes, sir." Moses nodded. He had to take his hat off to Theodore for even considering this fact. He knew that Christopher would not let him off so easily, so he purposely left the phone in his car.

It was of no significance, even if it was proven to be Everleigh's phone.

After Moses walked out, Theodore put down the documents in his hand. He looked at the view outside of the window with a heavy heart.

The sun rays shone on his body, creating a clear shadow.

It was similar to the sky now, very gloomy.

Meanwhile, Everleigh hadn't eaten anything for the entire day. Her only hope was that she would fall ill, giving her an opening to escape.

The maid stood by her side, holding a bowl of oatmeal in her hand. She looked anxious as she said, "Miss Trevino, please eat something, or Mr. Godfrey will definitely punish me when he returns."

"If you don't want to be punished, then open the door and let me go." Everleigh's face was pale, but her eyes were still firm.

The maid was in a difficult situation. "Miss Trevino, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just a maid."

Everleigh gave a wry smile. She was right. She was just a maid. No matter how hard she tried, she would only make things difficult for others.

"If that's the case, you can take it away. I won't eat it." Everleigh turned her head away and refused to say anything else.

Seeing that she was so stubborn, the maid did not say anything else. With a light sigh, she had no choice but to turn around and return to the kitchen.

When Theodore returned, he saw Everleigh sitting on the sofa watching something in the distance. Furthermore, her expression wasn't very good.

"Mr. Godfrey, you're back." The maid called out from the kitchen.

Theodore's expression was as cold as ice. He walked to her side and said after a while, "Do you really think you can leave by starving yourself?"

"It's none of your business," Everleigh replied in a cold voice, without even giving him a look.

He clenched his fists but couldn't do anything to her.

No matter what he did, she refused to eat. She was held captive, and her mobile phone was not with her. There was no way for her to ask for help.

That was why she resorted to starving herself.

Theodore was working in the study at night. Everleigh was already so hungry that she was trapped in a daze and she laid on the sofa without moving. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The maid tried to persuade her to eat, but it was to avail.

She felt as if someone was hugging her while she was asleep. She opened her eyes and saw his handsome and charming face.

Theodore sent her back to her room. He reached out to touch her face and said in a gentle voice, "Your temper hasn't changed at all."

When she heard his words, she turned over and closed her eyes, pretending that she didn't hear anything. Then, she continued to sleep.

He sighed before he tucked her in and went to wash up. When Everleigh heard the sound of water from the bathroom, she opened her eyes. Looking at the phone on the nightstand, she reached out and took it.

There was a password on the mobile phone screen. Everleigh tried a few times, but she failed to unlock it. Furthermore, she was also very anxious as he would come out if she didn't hurry up.

As a result, she tried to unlock it with her birth date, and it worked. She didn't expect that the password remained the same after so many years. She thought that he must have already hated her to the core, and there would be no trace of her left.

"How could it be..."

Everleigh didn't dare to overthink and quickly dialed Christopher's number.

At this time, he was waiting outside Theodore's company. It was already dark and there was no sign of him leaving.

His phone rang, and it was Theodore's number. Christopher was stunned. Without much thought, he picked it up.

"You..."

"Christopher, help me. I'm at the Lon Bay Villa in the outskirts of town." Everleigh didn't dare to say too much. She hung up the phone as soon as she said her address, and she erased the record of her call to Christopher.

Then, she placed the phone back to its original.

She couldn't say too much, otherwise Theodore would know.

Sure enough, the sound of the water flowing in the bathroom stopped just as she put down the cell phone.

Droplets of water flowed down his waist until they were absorbed by the bath towel.

Everleigh opened her eyes in a daze. When she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't react and her dry lips became stiff. "What are you doing?"

He didn't find him doing anything out of the norm. Plus, they had done much more intimate things in the past.

"There's no bathroom in the study, so here I am. When did you wake up?" His thin lips parted and his every word was enunciated clearly. However, his cold gaze couldn't be ignored.

With a cold expression, Everleigh said, "How long do you think a person who doesn't eat can sleep for?" Then, she turned her back to him.

Her heart was racing, and she felt somewhat guilty. If she didn't know him well, the cat would be out of the bag by now.

Theodore picked up his phone and scrutinized it. His gaze once again fell on her.

Everleigh felt a chill run down her spine, which made her hair stand on end.

After a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "The maid will send something up later."

"No need for that, I am not going to eat," she said lightly, but one could still tell that she was weak from her voice.

Everleigh had suffered a lot abroad, and as a result of her overworking herself, her blood sugar level would drop drastically if she did not eat her meals.

She hadn't eaten anything for almost two days, so she couldn't hold on much longer. Her voice was soft as well when she called Christopher. Otherwise, Theodore would've heard her long ago.

He held onto the doorknob for quite some time, his gaze still thoughtful. He paused for quite some time before he opened the door and left her room.

Then, Everleigh prayed that Christopher could come quickly when she heard the door shut.

Otherwise, she really couldn't hold on any longer.

When Christopher heard her weak voice, he couldn't help but worry about her current state. He quickly remembered what she said.

He remembered that the Lon Bay Villa was newly built, and the Godfreys owned property there as well, which made it easier to investigate.

"How is she?" Stainley also heard the voice from his mobile phone, and he dared not make a sound.

"We were cheated."
