Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

When Everleigh came out of the kitchen with the plate in her hand, she saw that the floor of the living room was piled up with colorful Lego blocks. Alastair and Adrienne were sitting on the ground building with them. "Alastair, this one is for this area, isn't it?"

"No, it's that one."

"I think it's more or less the same. Alastair, just put it here."

Not only was Adrienne unable to help, but she was also making trouble. After a while, she turned around and waited for Theodore to scoop up a spoonful of ice cream and send it to her mouth, feeling very comfortable. This girl, didn't she pretend to be hostile towards Theodore just now? He bought her over with a tub of ice cream just like that. She was just like a fence-sitter. How bad would she be when she grew up? Seeing Everleigh come out, Theodore immediately put down the spoon. He got up from the sofa and walked over.

"I remember you didn't know how to cook."

Everleigh put the food on the table and said, "Chicken sandwiches. It was made by the servant. Eat it first. I'll go and get you some medicine."

"It's okay because it's much better now. Don't worry," Theodore called out to her. "I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"Sit down and let's talk."

When Everleigh saw Theodore pull out a chair for her, she didn't sit down. Instead, she pulled out another chair and sat down at the end of the table, far away from him.

After sitting down, Theodore took out a white envelope.

"What is this?"

Everleigh frowned. Following Theodore's hint, she took out a check from the envelope. She was stunned for a moment and didn't know what was going on.

"Grandma wants to give this to Yvonne. I would like to trouble you to help me pass it to her."

Everleigh frowned. "Why me?"

It was not a problem for her to pass it to Yvonne, but the problem was that she was not a member of the Godfrey family. Given her status, how could she help deliver the compensation?

"Yvonne is probably still angry. You are her family doctor. She trusts you more than she trusts me."

Theodore explained his reasoning in a concise manner. At first glance, it sounded quite reasonable. However, after thinking about it carefully, Everleigh felt that something wasn't right, but she didn't know what was wrong with it. She was going to meet Yvonne the next day, and she was the one who caused the trouble in the first place. It was natural for her to solve the problem. Thinking of this, she agreed.

It was already very late when Theodore finished eating the sandwiches. Before he left, Adrienne was holding Ace in her arms and didn't want to let go. Theodore said, "Why don't I let Ace stay here for a few days?"

"No, I don't have time to take care of him. You'd better take him back," Everleigh refused without hesitation.

Hearing this, Adrienne immediately opened her arms and stood in front of Ace like an eagle protecting its babies. "I can take care of him. Alastair and I can take care of Ace. We will never let him pee everywhere!" "Adrienne!"

Everleigh wanted to say something, but the sound of a car's engine came from outside the courtyard. Theodore's car had arrived.

Theodore said, "I'll come pick him up in a few days."

After saying that, he went straight out to the courtyard, leaving no chance for Everleigh to refuse.

"Wait!"

She wanted to stop Theodore, but Adrienne had already happily entered the house with the dog. Everleigh had no time to care about anything else, so she hurried back to the house.

"Adrienne, stop right there. Don't bring the dog upstairs!"

...

Inside the car, Theodore looked out of the window at the warm yellow light in the house. The warmth lingered on his thin and cold face for a long time. After a long while, he instructed the driver, "Let's go." The next afternoon, Everleigh and Yvonne met in a cafe.

Yvonne had arrived early.

"Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road. Have you been waiting for a long time?" Everleigh sat down and apologized for her late arrival.

Yvonne said lightly, "You're not late. I'm just early."

Yvonne was the owner of the gallery. She usually taught students to paint on weekends. Compared to Everleigh, she had more free time, so it was normal for her to come early. "I've ordered a latte for you. Is that okay?"

"Yes, thank you."

After exchanging a few words of greetings, the atmosphere became a little sluggish.

"I suddenly asked you out because there's something that I don't understand, so I wanted to ask you."

Yvonne was also a straightforward person. She went straight to the point. "The kidnapper was actually going after you when Hansen was kidnapped, right?"

Everleigh's heart skipped a beat. She nodded and said, "Yes."

Before the incident from the day before, Yvonne had always been protective of her son, plus she had always been hostile towards Mrs. Godfrey, so she had never thought about other reasons. However, after what happened the previous day, it was different.

"Miss Miller, I am sorry that I have been hiding it from you." Everleigh looked up at Yvonne. At this moment, she was relieved.

Yvonne was not angry. She asked, "What's your relationship with Theodore?"

Everleigh was slightly stunned.

Yvonne didn't actually want her to answer. She said to herself, "In fact, if you don't tell me, I can almost guess. It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."

Everleigh forced a smile and said, "Thank you."

After a moment of silence, Everleigh took out the contract she brought with her and said, "Miss Miller, I'll give this contract back to you. I'll let the bank return the annual salary you paid me in advance. I'm sorry." "Hmm?" Yvonne frowned. "You want to cancel the contract with me? Why?"

This question stopped Everleigh. "Didn't you invite me today to talk about the cancelation of the contract with me?"

Hansen was kidnapped because of her, and she did not tell Yvonne the truth after the incident. If it was anyone else, it would be impossible for them to trust her. Hence, it was natural to cancel the contract. However, Yvonne said, "If I want to cancel the contract with you, I can just make a phone call. There's no need to take great pains to invite you out."

"Then you..." Everleigh looked at her in doubt, not knowing what she meant.

"I have another thing to confirm with you."

Looking at Yvonne's serious look, Everleigh was slightly stunned.

"My husband knows that Madison didn't aim to kidnap Hansen. Is that correct?"

Hearing this, Everleigh subconsciously tightened her fingers that were holding the coffee cup and her face became a little stiff.

Yvonne's eyes were shining. It seemed that this problem was more important to her than the truth was.

Everleigh nodded her head. "Yes, Mr. Godfrey should know. The car on the beach that day belonged to Theodore. Mr. Godfrey seemed to have known about it from the very beginning." Not just that, Wilson also clearly mentioned a few things when he was talking to her after that.

Yvonne's face darkened when she heard this.

"Miss Miller," Everleigh frowned and said hesitantly, "Mr. Godfrey probably didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he didn't tell you..."

"Everleigh," Yvonne suddenly interrupted her and forced a smile, "This matter has nothing to do with you now. I have asked all the questions I wanted to ask. As for our contract..."

After saying this, Yvonne pushed the contract back in front of her. "Just continue as usual."

Looking at Yvonne's appearance, Everleigh's mood was a bit complicated. Looking at the contract in front of her, she suddenly remembered another important thing. "By the way, Miss Miller, I have one more thing to give you." As she spoke, she took out the white envelope that contained the check out of her bag.
