Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

After Everleigh finished diagnosing the patients, she came back only to find Christopher alone in the office.

Everleigh sat down behind her desk and asked casually, "He left?"

"Who?" Christopher raised his eyes from behind the magazine and asked knowingly.

"Don't mess with me. You know who I'm talking about."

"Why are you so angry?" Christopher put his leg down from the coffee table and forced himself to sit up straight. He tugged on the white coat he had on and said, "He left a long time ago." "He didn't say anything to you, did he?"

"What else can he say? It's obvious that he came for you. As soon as you left, he just said two words and left."

Everleigh was deep in thought, but her eyes were wandering on the computer screen, so she didn't probe further.

"What are your thoughts on becoming a private doctor?"

Christopher's voice brought her back to her senses.

"I was about to tell you."

"Well, what's on your mind?"

"I've decided to accept your proposal."

Christopher nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you with this later."

Everleigh looked at him and asked, "Why aren't you asking me about what I'm thinking?"

"What else can you be thinking about? You must have thought it through multiple times before discovering that my suggestion was the most reliable. You've been convinced by my wit, and can no longer find a better suggestion..." "Shut up."

Everleigh glared at him angrily and suddenly remembered something else. "Where are my instant noodles?"

She had two cups of instant noodles here before she left. They were both hers. Christopher insisted on taking the beef flavoured instant noodles, but there was still another one!

Christopher suddenly stood up and left. "I remember that I have to go to the clinic. I'll go first.".

"Christopher, how could you? You took my instant noodles!"

Everleigh threw a paper ball and it hit the door, but Christopher was long gone.

As she was infuriated, Everleigh caught a glimpse of something under the file beside her. When she opened it, she saw a blue take-out thermal insulation bag. There were two boxes of sushi in it.

When she saw the sushi, her anger dissipated completely. She muttered bashfully, "Why does he have to go through the trouble every time?"

It was already late in the afternoon and the scorching sun was suddenly covered by dark clouds after two.

Thunder roared and heavy rain poured in Ocpeace City.

It rained very frequently at this time of the year. After September, it was autumn in Ocpeace City. At that time, the golden sycamore trees would replace the scented sporangia. It was the most eye-catching view in the entire city. The heavy raindrops hit the windows, annoying the people in the room.

A gentle female voice could be heard from the phone. "Nothing much. I just want to ask if Theodore is busy today. Madam said that she wants to have dinner together tonight."

Moses politely replied from the other end of the phone. "Miss Bailey, I'm really sorry but Mr. Godfrey is still in a meeting. I'm afraid that he doesn't have time tonight. Later, Mr. Godfrey will call Madam to explain in person. He won't make things difficult for you."

"It's fine. I know that he's been really busy for the past two days. By the way, I've ordered afternoon tea and sent it to your office. It should arrive later. Please distribute it for me, Mr. Lawson."

"You're too kind. Thank you."

"It's my pleasure. I'll bring some soup over to Theodore tonight."

There was a pause at the other end of the line. "Miss Bailey, Mr. Godfrey has a dinner appointment tonight and won't be in the company."

After being rejected several times, Josephine was still even-tempered. She kept her composure with a smile and said it was okay, even though the other party could not see her. After advising on Theodore's medication, she hung up the call.

The minute she hung up the phone, her facial expression changed.

"Bang!" She broke the set of tea cups on the table.

The new maid in the living room was so scared that her face turned pale ;and she was afraid to move an inch.

Josephine glanced at her and said angrily, "What are you looking at? Why aren't you cleaning it up?"

Sarah frowned and gave the order. Only then did the maid come back to her senses. She hurriedly tidied up the porcelain fragments on the floor, afraid to look Josephine in the eye.

"Miss, why are you so angry?" Sarah poured a cup of tea again. She dismissed the maid and sat down beside Josephine.

"What else can it be? Meetings every day. As long as I look for him, he will be in a meeting or he will have a dinner appointment."

"Miss, you know that Mr. Godfrey is very busy."

"No," Josephine clenched her fists and said, "Since he came back from the Meyer family's banquet, he's been colder to me. How long has it been since he last saw me? Even if he was busy in the past, he wouldn't go missing for so long." Even when she used Mrs. Godfrey's name this time, Theodore did not budge.

Sarah sighed. "Miss, forgive me for being blunt. Mr. Godfrey is cold as a person. Although he comes from a good family background, there still needs to be love in a marriage. I think..." "Are you saying that he has no love for me?"

Josephine's voice suddenly rose. "Who are you to say that?"

Sarah was stunned. After being silent for a moment, she stood up from the sofa. "I'm sorry, Miss. I've said too much."

Sarah single-handedly brought Josephine up. Although Sarah was her maid, they could pass as mother and daughter. Josephine had never treated her in such a threatening way.

Josephine regretted it when she saw how distant Sarah became, "Sarah, that's not what I meant. I..."

"I know that you are worried about Mr. Godfrey. Are you worried that he will break off the engagement?"

Sarah was the kindest to Josephine and Josephine's feelings were her top priority.

Josephine's voice was a little muffled. "You're the only one who understands me most."

Her relationship with Theodore was one-sided, with her maintaining it. It was as if she was treading on thin ice. She admittedly used some methods to become his fiancée, but she felt that she had had no choice but to do so.

It was too difficult to make Theodore fall for her. She could never be Everleigh as there could only be one Everleigh in this world. She only wanted her to die in Theodore's memory seven years ago.

Sarah said, "Miss, you don't have to worry about the engagement being broken off. Didn't you say that Everleigh was already married to Mr. Meyer? Even if Mr. Godfrey had intentions, he wouldn't do it."

"Things could change over time."

Josephine's eyes were captivated by the rain outside the window. She couldn't help but reminisce how it rained when she went to see that person the other day.

In the pitter-patter of the rain, the restaurant downtown was empty. At the table near the window, the man opposite her lowered his head as he was cutting through a medium-rare steak. With every cut, blood would ooze out. He ate without batting an eyelid.

"I can help you secure your position as Mrs. Godfrey, as long as you listen to me."
