Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

"Also, Mommy lied to Cecil, saying that she's on duty at the hospital. If she wasn't afraid of upsetting her, Mommy wouldn't have lied. There's only one thing that makes Cecil mad." "What is it?" Helen didn't understand what Alastair's words meant for a while.

However, Adrienne had already understood. She winked at Helen and said, "Cecil doesn't like Daddy."

Hearing this, Helen's eyes lit up a little, and she understood immediately. "So, your Mommy really went to visit your Daddy last night?"

"It should be," Alastair nodded, looking like an adult; he was calm and steady.

"Whether it's true or not, you can ask Mommy when she comes later." Alastair was frank and pointed out the key point immediately. "No," said Helen thoughtfully, "We can't ask your mother."

"Why not?" Adrienne was puzzled.

Helen smiled as if she was enlightened. She said with a meaningful look, "It's a good thing that they didn't tell me about it."

If it was not to hide it from her, Moses would not have been the only one who knew about it until now. If more people knew about it, they would not have been able to hide it from her.

As for why it was Everleigh who had taken care of him, she didn't need to figure it out. All she needed to know was that as long as she pretended to be in the dark, Theodore would be able to take advantage of this opportunity to spend more time with Everleigh. That was enough.

"Alastair, Adrienne, pretend that you don't know about this. Do you understand?"

Although Adrienne's little head could not completely figure out the whole logic of the whole matter, her intuition told her that this was for the good of her Mommy and Daddy, so she agreed happily.

Not long after the three of them finished speaking, Everleigh and Moses could be heard talking outside the ward.

Everleigh opened the door and walked in. "Grandma, Mr. Lawson is here to see you."

As soon as Helen saw Everleigh, she smiled brightly, "Come, sit down."

Moses put the shopping items on the table and said, "I'm not going to stay. I still have something to deal with in the company, so I'll go first."

"I'm not talking about you. I'm talking to Everleigh," Helen gave Moses a look of disgust.

Hearing this, Moses was not angry. He only scratched his nose in embarrassment and explained, "Madam Scott, Mr. Godfrey has not returned from his business trip yet. He'll see you when he is back. Don't be mad with him."

Helen said nonchalantly, "Just let him do what he needs to do. I have Alastair and Adrienne here, and also Hansen with me. You don't need to mind me."

"It's good that you understand. Then, I'll go first," Moses was also good at observing people. He knew that Helen didn't want to talk to him at all, so he took the initiative to leave.

Just as he expected, Helen replied perfunctory, "Okay."

...

Seeing that Helen drove Moses away in a few words without any courtesy, Everleigh felt helpless and found it funny.

She was there to pick up Alastair and Adrienne. "Grandma, I got off work early today so I'll take the children home first. Hansen can stay a little longer. His mother will come to pick him up before night falls."

The moment Everleigh came in, she saw Hansen sitting on the sofa alone. He was holding a painting book in his hand and looked very quiet. He would glance at them from time to time, and his eyes were as pure as untainted spring water from the mountains.

Helen said, "Why should they go back so early? The kids are bored when they go back. Let them stay here with me. When Hansen's mother is here, I'll ask her to send all the kids back later."

Everleigh said, "This is too much trouble, isn't it?"

After a long time, these children really did not treat themselves as outsiders. Not only did they go there after school every day, but they also came as soon as they woke up on Saturday. They probably wished that they could have all their meals there.

Everleigh didn't have much time to take care of the children. After Christopher left, she was worried that there was no one to help her. Now, she didn't have to worry about this at all, but she felt a little sorry. Helen was there to recuperate in the hospital, not to take care of her children.

Helen smiled, "It's no trouble at all. There's nothing to worry about."

Seeing Everleigh hesitate, Adrienne interrupted, "Mommy, it's not good to leave Hansen alone here. This place is not far from our home. If you are busy, you can go to work first. We'll go back after Alastair, Great-Grandma and I have our meals."

After their meals...

Everleigh felt awkward and looked at Helen with embarrassment, "Grandma, Alastair and Adrienne are really troubling you."

"What kind of trouble is this? I am eager for someone to accompany me. How wonderful it is now! It's so lively. I'll accompany these children to rehearse their program. When it's time for their gala, I want to go and watch them." Helen really liked these children. Seeing that she was genuinely happy, Everleigh felt relieved. She smiled and said, "Well then, I'll go back first. I do have something to do."

Sarah had some urgent matters to attend to, so she couldn't cook dinner for Everleigh that day, and she had asked for leave that morning. Coincidentally, Everleigh had already promised Theodore's doctor that she would refine his dinner. For this matter, she still had a headache.

After saying goodbye to Helen, Everleigh drove directly to the market.

According to the list given by Sarah, she bought all the ingredients first. Facing the several vegetables on the list, Everleigh was confused and spent a lot of effort finding all the ingredients.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when she arrived home, but Cecil hadn't come back yet. On the refrigerator door of the kitchen, there was a recipe written by Sarah before she left. Every step was written in detail, but Everleigh was still confused.

On the chopping board, she pressed the eggplant with her left hand and held the knife with her right hand. However, she didn't do anything for a long time.

"Sarah didn't say how large the eggplant should be cut! How do I do this?" Everleigh thought.

"Hello? Sarah, how many centimeters do you need the eggplant to be cut into?"

"How many centimeters?" Sarah's astonished voice came from the other side of the phone. "Miss, are you kidding me?"

"I'm not joking with you. And about the salt, how much is a little?"

...

"And about the wine, it's written here to put an appropriate amount. What's the appropriate amount?"

...

After a while, Everleigh finished asking all the questions. Sarah's helpless voice came from the other end. "Miss, why don't you order takeout or dine outside? I will go back as soon as possible after finishing my business here." "No, this can't do. Sarah, simply tell me. Tell me in more detail."

"Ok... ay..."

Through the phone, she could already hear the struggle in Sarah's heart.

Everleigh had never cooked before. The only thing she knew how to cook was pasta. The pasta was cooked with water, without any taste, and they were often overcooked or undercooked. This caused the two children to hate pasta. Hence, she was a beginner in cooking. Even with the help of Sarah, she was still in a flurry and almost burned down the kitchen.

When Cecil came back, the kitchen was in a mess.

"Oh my God, has the house been robbed?"
