Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

In the three days after Trevino Group was reported to have made a fraudulent donation, their stock prices kept falling. When public opinion rose, the keyboard warriors would be able to flood anyone on the internet with their words. For the past few days, Everleigh had no mood to work at all. She was going to ask for leave from the hospital. However, Felicia called Everleigh and comforted her to be at ease and continue to work while she would deal with the affairs of the Trevino Group.

Three days later, when Everleigh got out of the clinic, she saw an unread message on her cell.

It was from Felicia, saying that Abraham had been released on bail.

The moment she heard the news, Everleigh immediately took leave from the hospital and went home.

When Everleigh arrived at the Trevino family's villa, Abraham had just arrived at the same time. Hilda was busy with chores in the house, saying that she was going to tidy everything up.

"Ms. Everleigh is back." Hilda was the first to see Everleigh standing at the door. She quickly put down the broom in her hand and wiped her hands on the apron. She shouted, "Master Abraham, Ms. Everleigh is back."

As soon as Everleigh entered the living room, she saw Abraham stand up from the sofa.

He looked much older; his white hair around the temples was much thicker than the last time they met, and he was also a lot thinner.

"Dad." Everleigh's eyes burned with tears when she saw Abraham. "I'm sorry."

"What are you crying for? This has nothing to do with you." In Abraham's age, he had seen all kinds of storms, but he could not bear to see his daughter shed tears. "Isn't it alright now?"

Everleigh went over and sat down, sobbing as she wiped away her tears. "How have you been over the past few days?"

"I'm fine. Nobody tortures anyone now. I didn't do what they claimed I did, so I just cooperated with the investigation. If there really was a problem, I wouldn't even be qualified to be bailed out."

Abraham was only released on bail for the time being. The details of the case were still under investigation. Everleigh didn't know what the follow-up results would be, but Felicia had promised her that there was no problem, which made her a little more at ease.

Hilda poured tea for her and said, "Ms. Everleigh, don't cry already. Drink some tea and take a rest." "Thank you, Hilda."

Everleigh thanked her and took a sip of tea to calm herself down. As she looked around, all sorts of feelings welled up inside her.

Aside from occasionally sending the children over for a few days, Everleigh had almost never returned home. Every time she sent the children over, she would always leave in a hurry. This was essentially the first time she had entered the house and sat in the living room since she returned to the country.

Abraham said, "It's all thanks to Ms. Meyer from the Meyer Group this time. If it wasn't for her guarantee, I wouldn't have come out so quickly."

When he mentioned Felicia, Everleigh stopped drinking her tea.

As expected, she put down the cup and saw her father examining her. "Don't you have anything to say to me about what happened this time?" Everleigh's heart skipped a beat, and she asked nervously, "What do you mean?"

When she met Selena at the police station that day, Selena told her everything about Theodore and her old relationship. Everleigh was afraid that she had already told Abraham everything.

Even if Selena didn't say it, she couldn't explain on behalf of Theodore, who reported the matter of the Trevino Group.

Abraham said with a straight face, "Of course, it's about you and the Meyer family. The Trevino family and the Meyer family have never interacted before. However, Ms. Meyer did her best to help me this time. If I didn't send someone to investigate it, I wouldn't dare to owe her a debt of gratitude."

Abraham had always considered things as a whole. This was also one of the reasons why Christopher said on the phone that their marriage couldn't be hidden anymore.

Everleigh breathed a sigh of relief. After pondering for a moment, she looked at her father and confessed, "Dad, don't be angry when I say this. I was married abroad, and the other party is the son of the Meyer Group, Christopher." Hearing that, Abraham's expression suddenly changed.

All of a sudden, he stood up from the sofa. "What? Married? The son of the Meyer Group? Christopher?"

Everleigh had expected her father's reaction. After all, Christopher's reputation in Ocpeace City was not very good.

"It's him." Everleigh bit the bullet and admitted the truth.

Abraham's expression darkened. After a long while, he seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, he asked, "Then what's with Theodore? Your marriage..."

Previously at Selena's birthday party, in front of their relatives and elders of the Trevino family, Theodore appeared in front of Abraham with the children and personally admitted his engagement with Everleigh. Because of this, she had received several phone calls from Abraham, who asked her to take Theodore home for an official meeting.

How long had it been since she got married? It was true that she was married, but the husband had changed so suddenly that no one could accept it.

"Dad, don't worry." Everleigh knew that her father had hypertension, so he shouldn't be too anxious. She quickly comforted him and said, "It's a bit complicated to talk about. I'll explain it to you later."

Abraham looked at his daughter in front of him, who had been thoughtful since she was a child. When he thought of the seven years that had passed, how could a single sentence or two make things clear?

As a father, he did not know what his daughter had gone through outside. Actually, he had regretted it as soon as he woke up from the hospital.

However, this girl was so stubborn that Abraham hadn't heard from her for the past seven years.

After a long while, he sat down on the sofa again. He still had a serious look on his face, but there was already a sense of compromise in his tone. "Now, I don't know which one of your words is true, and which is false."

Everleigh raised three fingers immediately and said, "This time, it's true. If you don't believe me, I can show you the marriage certificate and..."

"There's another thing. The Meyer family wants to have a meal with you. The two families will get to know each other."

Hearing this, Abraham was stunned at first, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. "It should have been like this a long time ago. No matter who you are married to, the parents of both sides must agree and know the truth. You hid it from me until today. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if others find out?"

"I'm just afraid that they'll laugh at you."

"I'm already so old. What's there to be afraid of?" Abraham looked at her with a straight face. "You are an adult now. You have your own life outside. I can ignore it, but no matter what happens, don't hide it from your family if you can't deal with it on your own."

Upon hearing this, Everleigh's emotions, which had already calmed down, started to resurface again. Her nose ached and her tears fell. "Dad..."

Although she had been outside for the past few years, she had never hated her father. She knew that he loved her. The reason he had forced her to get rid of the children was also for the sake of her future.

It was Everleigh who was insensible. At that time, she insisted on giving birth to the children just for a slight possibility.

While they were talking, Everleigh's cell phone rang in her pocket.

She wiped off her tears and was stunned when she saw the caller ID showing the word "Leon". "Dad, I'll have to take a call."

Abraham nodded before she walked out with her phone in her hand.

Knowing that she had walked to the backyard, she pressed the answer button and said in a puzzled tone, "Hello?"

"Everleigh, is your heart made of iron?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Leon's voice came from the other end. "Even if you don't care about your old relationship, you shouldn't add insult to injury, right?"
