Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

"Everleigh and you go together like husband and wife. Her son even looks so much like you. I have seen Christopher before. He doesn't look like you at all. If I were him, I would..."

Leon was still talking to himself. Suddenly, he noticed Theodore was looking at him with an unfriendly gaze. His throat tightened. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Theodore was silent.

"Ahem, I know I came here suddenly and spoiled your good time, but you can't blame me. I didn't know that Everleigh was here."

"What did you say just now?" Theodore interrupted Leon's explanation.

Leon was stunned for a moment. "I said... I didn't know that Everleigh was here."

"The previous sentence."

"The previous sentence? Everleigh and you go together like husband and wife?" Looking at Theodore's gradually impatient expression, Leon quickly recalled what he had just said. He hesitated and said, "Her son looks like you?" Theodore sat down on the sofa, deep in thought.

"No, what are you thinking about?" Leon walked over and immediately sat opposite him. "Didn't you do the paternity test before? You said that those two children have nothing to do with you."

"There is also a time when DNA tests can make mistakes."

"The probability is very low." Leon frowned. "But it's not impossible. If there are any mistakes, or they took a wrong sample, it's possible but..."

Leon wanted to speak but stopped on second thought.

"But what?"

"But you have to think clearly. There are only two inevitable results, yes or no. If no, what are you going to do? If yes, what are you going to do?"

It was not difficult to do the paternity test again, but it was mainly about the results of the paternity test. What kind of impact would the results have on their current life?

Theodore didn't say anything. It was rare for him to be so hesitant.

Leon directly pointed out what he was thinking, "In fact, you don't care about the results of the paternity test at all. Since Everleigh returned, your life has changed ever since you saw her again, even if you don't want to admit it." Although they had completely different personalities, Leon and Theodore had grown up together. They knew each other better than they knew themselves.

From the moment he found out about Everleigh's return to the country, he had a strange feeling that Theodore and Josephine's marriage was over.

"You asked a private detective to investigate so many things. Christopher is a playboy indeed, but he and Everleigh are a legitimate married couple. Josephine isn't as gentle and virtuous as she looks, but it's not your first day knowing this. You've found so many reasons, but you just wanted to verify one thing."

Theodore raised his head and looked straight at Leon. His gaze was calm.

Leon was still looking at him. His words were direct, and he pointed out the mystery of all these, "You still want to be with her."

"You still want to be with her." These words were almost straight to the point. Even if Theodore didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Leon grew up with him, so Leon knew him too well.

"Theodore, just do what you want to do. You don't have to worry too much about worldly etiquette when it comes to some things. To put it bluntly, the fact that you are in today's position, no one is more qualified to be more free-willed than you are."

Leon's words were heresy. If it was up to Madison's evaluation, they would be just that. If it wasn't for his family background, he would have already been dragged and buried in some wasteland.

But his heresy was not unreasonable at all.

The Allen family in Ocpeace City was just a vine attached to the Godfrey family. Leon had lived in Ocpeace City recklessly for more than 20 years, so why couldn't Theodore do what he wanted in this matter? Thinking of this, Theodore gradually relaxed, but his eyes were filled with chilliness.

"Leon, ask someone to investigate the Meyer Group over the next two days."

"Theodore," Leon's eyes widened. He was stunned for a long time before he was able to make sure that Theodore was not joking. "Meyer Group? There's no need for such a big deal, is there?"

"Didn't you say that I am qualified to be free-willed? If I want to find an excuse, I have to find one that they can't deny."

Looking at Theodore's cold face, Leon couldn't help but shiver in his heart. For a moment, he regretted making such a suggestion.

Theodore was truly terrifying when he went crazy.

It was already late at night, and the full moon hung high over the mountains.

In the bedroom of South Hill Villa, the servant carefully placed the hot milk on the bedside table. "Mr. Xavier, the temperature of the milk is just right. Please remember to drink it."

Xavier leaned against the head of the bed and read a book. When he heard that, he replied, "Hmm." The thin figure looked thinner under the bedside's lamp light.

The maid was new here and she had been working for less than a week. Because of the butler's warning previously, she had been extra careful in her work. However, she had not encountered any difficulties until that day. Mr. Xavier didn't seem to be as difficult to serve as those who were dismissed had said. Instead, he was quite easy to talk to.

As soon as the maid left, the sound of a phone vibrating could be heard from the bedside.

Xavier glanced at it from the corner of his eyes. When he saw the caller ID, his lips curled up. As if he had expected this call, he deliberately drank the milk slowly before he pressed the answer button. "Hello?"

"It's me."

Silence.

He was in no hurry to speak. He pulled out a piece of tissue and looked at himself in the mirror opposite the bed, slowly wiping the white milk foam from the corner of his mouth.

The woman on the other end of the line finally couldn't stand it anymore. "You won."

The smile on the man's face deepened, but under the reflection of the mirror, it looked extremely cold.

"What happened? Have you hit a wall?"

"He wants to cancel the engagement." When she mentioned this, the voice on the other end of the line almost choked. "Because of Everleigh. She must have given him some kind of enchanting potion. He is crazy." The man said slowly, "He's not crazy. It's you who's crazy."

"What do you mean?"

"With your current state, not only will Theodore want to cancel the engagement, but my mother won't let you marry into the Godfrey family either. Don't forget, the most important thing she wants from you is that you won't affect Theodore, but what have you done recently?"

"I've already done it anyway, so what else can I do now?"

"Indeed, you can't do anything, but I can. Otherwise, why would you call me?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Just follow the original plan. What you have to do now is minimize the chances of meeting with Theodore. As long as you don't meet him, the chances of him taking the initiative to cancel the engagement will be much smaller." "How long will it take?" The woman's voice sounded extremely anxious.

"Buy a flight ticket. You should go for a vacation before coming back."

Xavier spoke casually.

She seemed to want to ask something, but as soon as she uttered something in a questioning tone, she was interrupted by Xavier, "Don't ask why. I don't have the patience to explain too much to you."

There was a hint of impatience in his words, which made the other person give up asking. She gritted her teeth and remained silent for a while. She seemed to have convinced herself and she said reluctantly, "Okay, I understand. I'll do as you say."
