Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh remained silent for a long time.

Although the Trevino family was a reputable family in Ocpeace City and there were also many conflicts in the family, Everleigh and Selena had never wished to inherit the Trevino Group since young. In addition, their father had protected them well, therefore they did not encounter many conflicts.

On the phone, Christopher said, "If this was a game of chess, both sides have lost one general, but there is still one left. Therefore, they will need to move very carefully."

After a long time, Everleigh slowly exhaled a sigh of relief as she listened to Christopher's words clearly in the dark room.

"I understand."

...

Everleigh hung up the phone and held it tight as she leaned back against the bed. She did not lay down to rest for a long time; instead, her eyes were fixed on the TV wall on the opposite side, but they were not focused and seemed lost. Apparently, the Godfrey family was not as peaceful as the public thought. All the members of the family were not easy to deal with.

She had no interest in creating chaos in the Godfrey family. However, if she wanted to investigate what happened seven years ago, she had no choice but to stir chaos. The more chaotic the situation was, the better it would be. The next afternoon, the scorching sun was bright.

The swimming lesson was held during the hottest time at noon. After lunch, Everleigh took the two children to the swimming pool.

Adrienne sat in the back seat, shaking her legs along the way as she held a packet of candy in one hand and hummed a song; it was as if she was going on a road trip. "Why are you so happy? I thought you disliked swimming?" Everleigh could not help but ask her.

When they were abroad, Adrienne took up swimming lessons and it almost killed her. She made up many excuses to escape from the lessons, such as pain in her arms, her legs, her stomach, and various other excuses. That day, she not only finished her lunch quickly, but she also took the initiative to pack up her swimsuit herself. After tidying up, she kept urging them to leave. It really was bizarre that she would behave that way.

"I don't dislike swimming," Adrienne denied. She chewed her candy and said, "It's too hot today. Mommy, will you come with us to the swimming pool every weekend in the future?"

"If I'm free, I'll keep you company, but if I'm working overtime, then Christopher will keep you both company."

"It's okay, it's okay," Adrienne waved her hand and said, "Don't trouble Christopher. Mommy, you can accompany us when you are free. If you don't have the time, I can come by myself with Alastair."

"You're so well-behaved?" Everleigh was a little surprised and looked at her daughter in the rearview mirror with a smile. "Since you're so well-behaved, then I'll reward each of you with an ice cream after the swimming lesson." "Really?" Adrienne's eyes lit up when she heard the words 'ice cream'.

"Of course. When have I ever lied to you?"

The car turned into the underground parking lot of the swimming pool. After Everleigh parked her car, she took the two children's swimming equipment and took them upstairs to meet the coach.

In fact, when Alastair was abroad, he had learned to swim a long time ago and he was quite good at it. However, his sister was a burden to him, therefore he could only accompany her as a training partner.

In the locker room, Everleigh changed Adrienne into her swimsuit. "I'm done! Mommy, I'll go out first!"

"Okay, don't run too far. Go find your brother and coach."

"Okay, I know. Mommy, hurry up and come out."

Adrienne slipped on her pink strawberry sandals and ran out immediately after saying that.

Everleigh turned her head with a smile and took out her swimsuit from her bag. After turning it over a few times, her hands, which were holding the bag, shook slightly and her face froze.

She had packed her conservative swimsuit and threw it in the bag in the morning, but it was missing. Only a black polka-dot bikini was in the bag.

Everleigh took a sharp breath.

"Adrienne Trevino! Come back here!"

Only Adrienne had touched her bag that afternoon. If it wasn't her, then who else could have done it?

It was September. After the summer vacation, the number of people in the swimming pool was much fewer than usual. There were no events at that time and most of the people who came were the parents of the children.

In the shallow pool area, the children were with the coaches in the swimming pool. The coaches were teaching two groups of students. One group were the beginners, practicing leg movements on land and another group were students ready to go into the water and practice.

When Everleigh came out from the women's locker room, she attracted a lot of attention, from both men and women.

Men looked at her with desire in their eyes and the women looked at her with jealousy.

The black bikini made her figure look almost perfect. Although she had temporarily tied a silk scarf around her waist to make herself less noticeable, this concealing method left more to the imagination. Sometimes, if a body was less revealing, it would be even more sexy and charming.

Everleigh was embarrassed by their stares. She hurriedly walked to the shallow pool area and did some casual warm-ups before stepping into the water.

As soon as she held the handrail to enter into the pool, her wrist was grabbed by a hand that was stretched out from the side. "Insufficient warming up will make you cramp easily in the water."

The cold voice echoed in the large swimming pool and it made others tremble.

Everleigh turned around and saw Theodore.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to swim of course."

Everleigh was stunned. It was hard not to notice the figure in front of her.

His short hair was clean and neat and in between his thick, black eyebrows was a perfectly straight nose. Needless to say, he had beautiful facial features. Among all the people whom Everleigh had seen before, there were very few who were better looking than him.

Plus, his body proportions were just right. She was used to seeing him in a suit with a serious expression on his face. However, this was Everleigh's first time seeing him in just a pair of swimming trunks.

Theodore's figure could not be considered perfect; the muscle lines on his body weren't very obvious, but he did not have the excessive bulkiness like some of the bodybuilders in the gym. He wasn't paper thin either, but his body was just well- proportioned.

Everleigh suddenly realized that his hand was still on her wrist and she immediately pulled it away. "This is quite a coincidence, Mr. Godfrey. Are you here to experience life?"

As the young president of the Godfrey Group, why would he come to this kind of public swimming pool to swim? It was a rare sight.

Everleigh's mocking tone caused Theodore to frown slightly. "Do you have to talk like this?"

Everleigh glanced at him and said, "Excuse me, but there are so many swimming pools in the area. Did you really have to come to this one, Mr. Godfrey?"

Before Theodore could react, Everleigh had already walked down into the water with the support of the handrail. Although the water in the pool was kept at a constant temperature, it still felt chilly the moment her body submerged in the water, causing her to shudder and her teeth to tremble.

From the land, someone looked at her as if he wanted to say something.

He did not know what the reason was but he was angry and did not want to lose face. When Everleigh was in the water, she did not wait for her body to adjust to the temperature of the water, but instead, she dove directly into the water and swam to the other side of the swimming pool freely.

After swimming for a while, Everleigh felt that her arms were so sore and weak that she could barely move them. It was a bit difficult for her to raise her head to breathe too. There was a faint feeling of a cramp in her calf.

No way! How could she be so unlucky?
