Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

The night was dark.

In the lobby of the police station, it did not take long for Everleigh to explain what had happened to her.

"So tonight you went to help your tenant to check on the leak in the apartment and then you met those people. You were not sure whether they came after you?"

Out of the corner of her eye, Everleigh glanced at Theodore who sat next to her. She coldly nodded and replied, "Yes."

If it wasn't for Theodore who saved her that day, she would have told the police that it was the Godfrey Group. More importantly, if she was to say that these people were targeting her, things would get more complicated. "Okay." The officer in charge of taking their statement put his pen down and said kindly, "Madam Trevino, we will investigate this incident and let you know when we find something."

"Okay, thank you."

Coming out of the police station, Everleigh received a phone call from the tenant, Lisa.

"Everleigh, I'm sorry. Something happened to my friend tonight. She called me out in a hurry and I did not look at my phone. I might have to accompany my friend tonight. I did not know that you called me so many times. Are you still in the apartment?"

"I'm not there now. I just left."

"I'm so sorry," Lisa said in an apologetic tone. "I made you go all the way for nothing."

"It's alright," Everleigh said. She thought of the apartment being splashed with paint and told Lisa, "It's best if you can stay with your friend and not go home for the time being." "What's the matter?"

"Here's the thing." Everleigh thought for a while and said, "There's something wrong with the facilities in the apartment. Isn't the bathroom leaking? I'll let you know after it's fixed." "I see, okay. No problem. Thank you, Everleigh."

"You're welcome."

After Everleigh hung up, she held the phone tightly. Mrs. Godfrey would definitely not let her go. She could not let innocent people get threatened because of her.

A familiar sound of footsteps came from behind. After being with a person for a long time, you would be able to distinguish their figure, their footsteps, and even their breaths.

"I'll send you back."

She turned to look at Theodore, who walked out from the police station lobby. His suit was still neat, without a single wrinkle.

Everleigh frowned. Before she could agree, a car stopped at the entrance of the police station and honked. The window slowly wound down and there appeared Christopher's dashing face. "Everleigh!" He shouted.

Everleigh waved to him, then placed her bag on her shoulder and said coldly, "No need. I'll leave first."

Theodore's dark eyes became darker as he looked at Everleigh heading towards the car. Ever since he heard that Madison ordered the thugs to spray paint at Everleigh's apartment, his face had not been relaxed. He did not leave the police station until the sound of the car engine disappeared.

"Mr. Theodore, shall we go home, or?" The driver asked carefully as he looked at Theodore's expression from the rearview mirror.

"Go to Yoreast Hills Garden."

The driver was stunned. "At this hour?"

It was nearly 200 kilometers from Yoreast Hills Garden to the city area and the journey would take them two or three hours. They would only arrive at Yoreast Hills Garden at dawn.

However, Theodore did not intend to explain further. His face was extremely upset from the moment he got into the car. The driver did not dare to probe further. He quietly yawned and steadily drove towards Yoreast Hills Garden. From the reflection in the car window, Theodore's face was stoic and motionless. No one knew what he was thinking about, but he looked shaken.

If there was more to what happened seven years ago and it was really related to the Godfrey family...

He did not want to think about it anymore, so he clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles.

Meanwhile, Christopher drove through Ocpeace City in the night. When he stopped at the traffic light, he took the time to glance at Everleigh who was at the passenger seat. "Are you hurt?"

Everleigh had been absent-minded since she got in the car and did not hear what Christopher said.

Christopher calmly commented, "It looks like you need to go to an otorhinolaryngologist."

"What?" Everleigh snapped back to reality. Stunned for a moment, she said awkwardly, "It's fine. Theodore arrived just in time so they did not lay a finger on me."

"He came at the right time. Didn't you ask him what he was doing there?"

Everleigh shook her head.

She forgot to ask. At that time, it wasn't a good time to chat either. She wasn't in the mood to ask Theodore why he was there.

When the traffic light turned green, Christopher stepped on the accelerator, held the steering wheel and drove past the intersection. He said lightly, "I guess he knows that you don't live there anymore. He might have heard that you're living with me, but he was not able to accept it. Therefore, he went there to try his luck."

"What luck?"

"If he could meet you there and see that you are still living in that apartment, then it would mean that you are not actually living with me. It's a form of comfort."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean."

"What is there that you don't understand?" Christopher continued, "Men have a complex. They hope that their first love will always reserve themselves for them, even if they know that they can't be together. There are not many who could really accept their first love being with someone else."

This theory was nonsense to Everleigh. She rolled her eyes as soon as Christopher finished. "Do you even remember your first girlfriend? Why are you pretending to be a love expert?"

"Why are you firing shots at me?" Christopher glanced at her. "I did not say that I'm a love expert, not to mention that I don't have high expectations for my partner. I don't have this kind of complex."

"Why bother mentioning it when you're going to end up contradicting yourself?"

Christopher saw Everleigh was losing interest in talking to him. He then said with a meaningful smile, "Hey, I have something to ask you."

"Ask."

"If Theodore found out about what happened back then and insists on breaking his relationship with the Godfrey family for your sake, would you agree to get back with him?"

"What are you talking about? Am I insane or did he lose his mind?" Everleigh replied Christopher without hesitation.

"To be honest, in some ways, I admire Theodore."

Christopher did not continue to ask further. He and Everleigh got along very well. The so-called tacit understanding was always a mutual understanding, so they did not need to communicate too much with each other verbally. He was 90% sure that he could guess how Everleigh would handle most things and this time was no exception.

After rejecting Christopher's question, Everleigh remained silent. She cast a sidelong glance at the city shadow that was rapidly retreating outside the window, and her eyes showed a trace of exhaustion.

As time passed, things changed. Seven years had been too long and even Ocpeace City's city had changed. It became more prosperous than it was seven years ago, let alone the people from seven years ago.

People could be fearless when they had nothing to lose but they would constantly worry when they had everything in the world.

Therefore, Christopher asked a pointless question.
