Chapter 182 I Know My Place

Theodore's kiss was extremely violent. Even though Everleigh clenched her teeth, she couldn't resist his raging attack. The heart-wrenching pain caused by his grip on her chin caused her to cry out in pain. In an instant, she collapsed into a state of despair.

The air quickly became thin. The more she struggled, the faster her energy was consumed. However, Theodore didn't show any mercy to her. The kiss, with a sense of warning and punishment, lasted so long that it made her suffocate. After a long time, the shadow in front of her faded a little and there was a buzzing sound in her ear.

"Everleigh, listen, I don't just want you to draw a clear line from Yvonne. I also want you to draw a clear line from the Meyer family and draw a clear line from Christopher."

The man's cold voice contained his remaining anger, and every word was slammed against Everleigh's eardrums with great force. There was no doubt about it.

Everleigh's back was wet with cold sweat. She leaned against the door to avoid falling down. Her chest was heaving violently and her rapid breathing made her almost unable to speak. "How could... Why would you..."

"Why?" Theodore stared at her. "Are you really married to Christopher?"

There was no intention behind an inquiry of that assured tone. It was obvious that he already knew the answer in his heart.

Everleigh's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly stopped breathing. After a long while, she stammered and asked, "The Meyer family all approved of it. How could it be fake?"

Her reaction, to Theodore, further verified his speculation. After a subtle expression was suppressed in his deep eyes, he let go of her.

"Really? Since you're married, why do you sleep in separate rooms?"

The previous night at the Meyer family's villa, while Everleigh was cooking in the kitchen, Theodore accompanied Adrienne upstairs to get something. Adrienne was talkative, and she introduced the rooms to him along the way. "This is Mommy's room. That's Christopher's room. Alastair and I are in this room..."

Adrienne's words were unintentional, but Theodore read his own meaning into it.

Theodore scanned Everleigh's face and saw how helpless she was. "Don't tell me that it's just a short quarrel between you two. It's not just at home. You guys never slept in the same room while you were abroad, right?" Adrienne had exposed it all.

Children were naïve and didn't know that in a real family, parents generally slept in the same room. Adrienne didn't even understand the fact that Everleigh and Christopher living together meant that they were married. Moreover, she was more accustomed to calling Christopher by his name instead of "Daddy".
