Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Adrienne blinked at her brother; her round and dark eyes were full of innocence. She said, "Alastair, I just promised Mommy not to call him Daddy anymore, but I did not say that I would not contact Theodore anymore." "Mommy will be angry if she knew."

"If you don't tell her, how would she know?" Adrienne stretched out her hand and pulled on her brother's sleeve. She called his name lovingly, "Alastair..."

Alastair could not refuse whenever Adrienne looked at him like that. He took out his mobile phone, handed it to her, and asked, "Why do you want to contact Theodore?"

"I want to invite him to play with us." Adrienne winked at her brother with a smile and took his mobile phone from his hand when he was unprepared. As she looked through the contact list, she walked towards the children's swing in the community playground.

"Adrienne." Alastair followed her with a frown and asked, "You are inviting him to go to the swimming pool with us, aren't you?"

On the other side, Adrienne had already dialed Theodore's number. "Hello? Theodore..."

...

"Yes, it's Adrienne. Theodore, are you free this Saturday?"

Adrienne was sitting on the swing. When she called Theodore, there was a bright smile on her face. As she faced the evening sunset in the distance, it was exceptionally bright.

Alastair stood at the side, holding his schoolbag in his arms. Although the word 'worried' was written on his face, he could not do anything about it.

As night fell, Everleigh came back earlier than usual.

When she arrived home, the two children were still awake. Adrienne was reading comic books in the living room.

"Mommy, you're back!" As soon as she saw Everleigh, Adrienne put down her comic book and ran to the porch. She wrapped her arms around Everleigh's neck and kissed her on her cheek.

Everleigh wiped the saliva off her face and looked around the living room. She changed her shoes and asked, "Where is your brother?"

"He's upstairs." Adrienne batted her eyelashes. "Didn't Christopher come back with you?"

"No, he's working overtime tonight." Everleigh carried her daughter to the living room after she changed into her house slippers. She said while she walked, "By the way, Christopher has to work overtime tomorrow so he can't accompany the both of you to the swimming pool."

Adrienne's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard what Everleigh said. "Really?"

Everleigh stopped and asked in confusion, "Why are you so happy?"

"Huh? Nothing." Adrienne immediately hid the joy on her face. "I always thought it would be very troublesome for Christopher to accompany us all the time. Therefore, Alastair and I will go to the swimming pool by ourselves tomorrow." "Why are you so obedient today?" Everleigh placed her on the sofa and pinched her nose admiringly.

Although the little girl was sensible most of the time, the only difference between her and her brother was that she was very clingy. She always hoped that someone would accompany her, which was normal for a seven-year-old child. "The both of you don't have to go by yourself. I'm free tomorrow, so I'll go with the both of you."

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

Adrienne quickly hid the unexpected joy in her eyes and turned her eyes steadily.

Did this mean that Theodore would meet her mommy at the swimming pool the next day?

Everleigh did not find anything out of the ordinary with her daughter's behavior. Even though she felt that her daughter was a little happier that day, she only thought that it was because she got off work early and could play with them during the weekend.

After the two children fell asleep, Everleigh washed herself up and laid on her bed. A 'ding' sound was heard from beside the pillow. It was a text message popping out on her mobile phone, causing her eyes that had already been closed to reopen.

The text message was from Christopher.

"Were you asleep? I've got someone to look into it. That car that was in Godfrey Group seven years ago had always been used by Madison."

The moment Everleigh saw the text message, she was suddenly awake and immediately sat up from the bed.

Sure enough, it was Madison.

"Hello?" Everleigh quickly called Christopher and asked, "Is that car still in Godfrey Group?"

"Yes." Christopher's voice was also very dignified. "The car is still being used by Madison now. Her driver often takes the car in and out of Yoreast Hills Garden."

Madison lived in Yoreast Hills Garden. Christopher had told her about it before.

"But this is not evidence," Christopher's voice came from the other end of the phone as he pointed out what Everleigh was thinking. "If you want to rely on the license plate number photo given to you by William to confront Madison in court, the probability is zero."

"Why not? I have both a witness and physical evidence."

"Witness? You mean William?" Christopher asked in return. "Are you sure he will be willing to testify for you?"

Even though William had been troubled by his conscience for so many years due to the fact that he stood by and watched her suffer seven years ago, his cowardice had already begun to emerge. Since he stood by and watched seven years ago, why would he risk offending the Godfrey family now just to testify for Everleigh?

"Speaking of physical evidence, are you sure that the blurry picture of the license plate number can be counted as physical evidence?"

Christopher's words on the phone made Everleigh speechless.

She clenched her phone tightly and in the dim bedroom, her unwilling expression drowned in the low light. She finally leaned weakly against the bedside and asked, "Then what do you think I should do?"

"Take it easy. The safest way for you right now is to start with Yvonne."

"But Yvonne has almost nothing to do with the Godfrey family. Don't forget that Wilson was kicked out of the Godfrey family by Helen Scott after he divorced Madison. Until now, he does not even attend the Godfrey Group's shareholder meeting."

"But Wilson is still from the Godfrey family. Even though he chose love over power, his partner might not be willing to stay with a man without power."

Everleigh was stunned for a moment. "You mean Yvonne..."

"Yvonne has been labeled as a mistress for so many years. Do you really think that she is completely docile and does not mind it at all?"

No one could really be completely unaffected by rumors.

Christopher reminded her again, "Don't forget that Wilson and Madison divorced 20 years ago. Whatever happened 20 years ago should have been long forgotten, but Yvonne had never been able to integrate into the upper-class circle of Ocpeace City, and kept carrying the mistress title all the while. Why do you think so?"

"Why?" Everleigh was taken aback. "You mean someone is behind it all?"

"Who do you think it could be?"

"Madison."

Everleigh said the name without any hesitation.

Apart from Madison, there was no one else who would have competed with Yvonne. Whether Yvonne was a mistress or not, no one would get to know the truth about the incident after 20 years. Yvonne should have been acknowledged as Mrs. Godfrey a long time ago.

However, no one had acknowledged her identity so far.

If Everleigh was in Yvonne's shoes, she would be unwilling as well.

On the other end of the phone, Christopher's tone revealed the meticulous thoughts of a child from a wealthy background. "So, these two people have been fighting in the dark. No matter how good-tempered and easy-going Yvonne is, if she was able to make Wilson fall for her, she is not as naive and sweet as she looks. To put it bluntly, both of them have children. Who do you think would be more jealous of whom?"

Everleigh was puzzled. "But Yvonne's son has a congenital heart disease."

"Madison's youngest son was paralyzed because of a car accident."

"What's the connection..."

Before she could finish her question, something suddenly came to Everleigh's mind. Her eyes darkened, and she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
