Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

"What are you looking for?" Theodore's voice suddenly became closer, as if he was just by her ears. It seemed so close that she couldn't even breathe properly. Everleigh turned around subconsciously. Just as she turned, "Ah..."

She stumbled back a few steps and covered the spot where she hit her forehead. She screamed out in pain.

Theodore's groans were covered by her voice. At this moment, he was covering his chin and looking at her with a complicated expression on his face.

In the silence, they looked at each other for a moment.

"Pfft." Everleigh failed to hold back her laughter, but almost at the same time, the two of them burst out laughing. One held her head, and the other held his chin. They looked at each other without saying a word.

On the couch, Theodore rubbed his chin and looked at the woman who was changing the bandage for him. His usually cold expression had a gentle look in his eyes.

"All done." Everleigh had applied his medicine for him, and she needed to wait until the medicine dried a little before she could bandage the wound. Hence, Everleigh stood aside to pack up the medicine box. When she looked back, she saw Theodore was still covering his chin with his hand and asked, "Is your chin okay?"

"I'm fine." Theodore let go of his hand. At such a close distance, she could see that his chin was slightly red. It was obvious that she had just crashed into it.

"Let me see," Everleigh leaned over and said.

The folds on the white sleeves of her shirt showed a unique style of a professional woman. Her small and delicate collarbone was exposed, and the smell of perfume wafted through the air.

There was a fatal attraction one felt towards a woman who was doing things seriously, and the strong attract the strong. Thus, it was more likely for that woman to attract strong men.

Thinking back on how she usually treated patients in the hospital like this, Theodore's heart was suddenly filled with a kind of emotion; it was jealousy. Without even thinking about it, he pulled her into his arms with big hands. Everleigh exclaimed. Her whole body was pulled forward by the force on her waist and she staggered down.

A sudden sense of dizziness hit her. When she came back to her senses, she fell into the arms of the man in front of her. In a very embarrassing position. She sat face-to-face with him on his lap. Strong hormones hit her and she lost her rhythm instantly.

Everleigh's face suddenly became hot, and she was about to stand up. However, the big hand on her waist didn't intend to let her go at all.

"Theodore." She was both embarrassed and annoyed. "What are you doing?"

"Do you know what an opened gate is?" "What?"

Before Everleigh could react, she was violently sucked into his space. The back of her head was held down and she couldn't free herself. The fanatical kiss sealed all her questions, and at that moment, her brain was buzzing. No matter that The Financial Report reported that Theodore was as cold as ice and not close to women, because he was, at the end of the day, a normal man. It was only a matter of restraint over the past years.

If the lust between men and women was compared to a flood, reason or rationale was the floodgate of the dam that blocked the flood. When someone opened the gate one day, the flood water would instantly pour out and when it rose, it would even break the dam right away. Then, it would be difficult to close it again.

That night in the hospital, Everleigh was the person who opened the gate.

Theodore's kiss was like a heavy rain in midsummer. It was so violent that it caught everyone off guard. Everleigh's first reaction was to break free, but the man seemed to be more familiar with her body than she was herself. Wherever he touched, she felt soft and powerless. Even when she shoved, her actions felt weak, and she didn't even seem to be able to summon up any strength.

You could use hints as a way to convince yourself that you didn't love a person, but sometimes, the body was more in touch than the mind. It could face human nature and the desires more realistically.

When her reasoning and desires were in chaos, Everleigh felt like she was caught in the middle as cannon fodder. Even if she wanted to make a choice, the choice was firmly held in the hands of the other person while she was still hesitating. Theodore's hand slipped from her waist to the bottom of her professional skirt. When his big hand touched her calf, it caused her to shudder. Everleigh, who was sitting on his body, obviously shivered and her arms that were around his neck suddenly tightened.

It was also at this moment that the sound of engines could be heard from downstairs.

"Where did the child come from?"

The woman's voice pulled back Everleigh's rationality. Her neck stiffened, and she pushed Theodore away.

At this time, in the courtyard downstairs, a woman in a beige Chanel suit was holding a limited edition Hermes bag and was standing behind her was a black Maserati. Watching the two children play in the courtyard, the woman's expression fell instantly.

Alastair and Adrienne were squatting on the lawn, watching Ace eat. When they heard the sound, they looked up at the incoming person at the same time.

As soon as they looked up, two beautiful faces could be seen. Adrienne's face was almost the miniature version of Everleigh's. Josephine's expression became even more terrible. She immediately looked into the villa with vigilance and fixed her eyes on the window of the master bedroom on the second floor.

The warm yellow light was glaring inexplicably at this time, as if it had pricked her in the eyes. This made her burn in anger. She didn't think about it at all and broke in directly. "Woof! Woof!"

No one knew if it was an animal's natural instinct to be on guard, but Ace, who had always been docile, suddenly raised his head from the food bowl, barked angrily, and then rushed towards Josephine. "Ah!" Josephine shrieked in fear.

"Miss!" A bodyguard ran up to Josephine from the Maserati outside the door and stood in front of her.

Josephine took a few steps back. She hid behind the bodyguard and screamed, "Where did this stray dog come from! Get rid of it quickly!"

The strong bodyguard knew what to do. He immediately pulled out the electric baton from his waist and waved it at the dog in front of him. Coincidentally, it hit Ace's neck.

Ace whined and fell to the ground. He was spasming because of the electric current.

"Ace!" Adrienne shouted anxiously. Without wearing shoes, she ran across the lawn barefooted and stood in front of Ace. "Ace has no bad intentions. He won't bite!"

"He won't bite, but he rushed towards me just now?" Josephine gritted her teeth in anger. "Didn't you see him rush towards me just now? This dog is crazy. Beat it to death quickly!"

"No!" Adrienne stamped her feet anxiously. "Ace just doesn't know you. He won't bite you now."

At this time, Ace had fallen to the ground and could not get up at all. Alastair kneeled down beside him and held his head, not saying a word. It was whimpering. The bodyguard had used the highest power setting on the electric baton. Seeing that there was no threat, Josephine came out from behind the bodyguard again, but she still felt scared. She looked at Adrienne, who was in front of her and said, "It's just a dirty animal. It should be beaten to death if it dares to bite people. Wild dogs and wild children are the same!"

Then she glanced at the bodyguard. "Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what I said? Deal with this dog!"

The bodyguard answered hurriedly, "Yes."

"No, you can't touch Ace." Adrienne spread her arms like a hen protecting its chick. She didn't let the bodyguard approach, and she said in a hurry, "Alastair, take Ace inside quickly."

"You want to bring it in?" Josephine's face darkened. "Where do you think this is? Do you think it's your home? Get out of the way!"

With that, she gave Adrienne a push.

Adrienne was already barefooted. With this push, she stumbled and fell down. She cried out in pain and tears of pain flowed out. She instantly wailed out loud. "Adrienne-"
