Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh was stunned for a long time. She mustered up some strength to put the thermos back on the table.

She stared at Theodore's hand for some time before coming back to her senses. She withdrew her hand with some restraint and changed the topic. "It's quite a lot. Can you finish it?" "I can finish it."

After he said these simple words, the room became quiet again. Only the slight sound of slurping could be heard.

Theodore had always been slow when he ate, and he hardly said a word during meals.

"Is it good?" Everleigh looked at him and swallowed subconsciously.

She hadn't eaten yet.

Theodore nodded. "Not bad."

"You can't finish it, can you?"

"I can finish it."

Everleigh shut her mouth when she heard this. "If I had known this, I wouldn't have come in such a hurry. I should've had dinner at home. It's just a waste of time for me to come here and suffer from hunger," she thought. Ten minutes later, Everleigh watched as Theodore finished all the food in the boxes. Not even a grain of rice was left. She twitched the corner of her mouth and felt exasperated.

"I haven't seen him with such a great appetite before," she thought.

After dinner, Theodore sat on the sofa to read a book. Everleigh was tidying up the table. After packing up the things, she planned on going downstairs to buy some food. Seeing that Theodore was so engrossed in reading, she didn't want to disturb him. She took her phone and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Theodore's voice came from behind.

She turned around, "I have nothing to do. I'll go downstairs and have a walk. I won't disturb you from reading."

"You have nothing to do?" He raised his gaze from the book and looked at her. "Come here and peel some apples."

Everleigh wanted to slap herself in the face when she heard this. Why did she say that she had nothing to do? She should've just said that she wanted to buy some food.

Even though she was starving, when she looked at Theodore's thin shoulders and the doctor's advice of making him eat more fruits, she silently went over and began to peel the apples for him.

Peeling apples was both a technical and delicate job, and Everleigh was very new to house chores. She held the fruit knife for a long time and didn't know where to start.

A knock on the door came from outside, which was a great help to her. She put down the apple and the knife immediately and said, "I'll open the door."

She opened the door and saw a deliveryman standing outside with a huge box on his back.

"Hello, Mr. Godfrey?"

"Yes." Everleigh looked behind with hesitation.

"The meal you ordered is here. Where should I put it?"

"Meal?" Everleigh was stunned. Seeing the deliveryman still standing outside, she quickly leaned to one side. "Put it on the table." "Yes."

After the deliveryman entered the room, he took out several plates of food from the huge box and filled the dining table with dishes. BBQ ribs, salad, soup...

Everleigh stared blankly at him. She didn't know when Theodore had ordered the meal.

When she was in a daze, the deliveryman had already arranged all the dishes on the table and handed her the confirmation form. "Your meal is ready. Please sign here." "Oh, thank you."

"You're welcome. I'll come and collect the plates later. Please enjoy your meal."

Everleigh closed the door and walked back to the table. She looked at Theodore hesitantly and asked, "Did you order a meal?"

Theodore replied casually, "Yes, I didn't know you'd bring food, so I ordered it."

"Then, do you want to eat more?"

"No, I'm full."

Everleigh looked at the delicious food on the table and swallowed, "Well... I haven't had dinner yet, so I'll eat it."

Theodore replied with a hum, but he didn't look up from his book. It was as if he didn't care about this matter at all. Everleigh pulled out the chair immediately and picked up the spoon to eat.

She was on the verge of starving to death. Her mind was filled with the thought of waiting for Theodore to rest so that she could go downstairs to buy something to eat. She had completely forgotten that she could still order takeout. When she was eating the ribs, Everleigh noticed the logo of "Sky Aroma Restaurant" on the plate and exclaimed, "This is the food from Sky Aroma Restaurant. No wonder. Their BBQ ribs are really excellent. Alastair and Adrienne like this restaurant very much."

Theodore was silent.

"But you don't like sweet food, right?" Everleigh asked while eating.

Theodore looked up from the book and gave her a faint look. "It's a gift."

The BBQ ribs dish was the signature dish of Sky Aroma Restaurant. It was limited to 200 orders per day and sold until it was out of stock. It was already not enough to sell. How could it be a gift? Everleigh knew this well.

Judging by Theodore's impatient expression, it was likely that he thought that she was too noisy.

Biting the ribs, Everleigh waved her hand, "I won't disturb your reading. You read your book and I'll eat my food. I'll be quiet."

After saying this, she immediately turned her head and focused on the food in front of her. She ate and drank, and the delicious food on the table swept away all the haze of the past few days.

Previously, because of the Trevino family's matters and Theodore's stay in the hospital, many things were mixed up together. She hadn't eaten or slept well for the past few days.

A person's appetite was the easiest to satisfy among all kinds of desires. It was also the easiest way to raise one's happiness. At this moment, Everleigh agreed with this saying deeply.

After finishing the last bowl of soup, Everleigh rubbed her belly and leaned back in the chair with satisfaction.

A shadow beside her made her raise her head.

With a bang, a plate was placed on the table, which made Everleigh's gaze fall on the table unconsciously. By the time she came back to her senses, Theodore had already gone into his room. There was a plate of freshly cut apples on the table and they were clean, bright, and juicy.

Just a moment ago, she had been so engrossed in eating that she didn't even realize when Theodore had peeled the apples and cut them into pieces.

Looking at the apples on the plate, Everleigh was lost in thought for a while. She turned to the bedroom and asked, "Don't you want to eat?"

"I don't want to eat." A voice came from a distance in the bedroom. "I'm sleepy. I'm resting now."

"Oh." Everleigh looked at Theodore's back, "Good night."

After tidying up the dining table, Everleigh sat cross-legged on the sofa with the fruit plate in her hand. She was reading a magazine while eating the apples, and she looked in the direction of the bedroom occasionally.

For some reason, Theodore didn't close the door. He said that he wanted to sleep, but he didn't. From her angle, she could clearly see him sitting on the bed, reading a book. The lights above the bed weren't very bright, which made her want to remind him that reading in dark spaces wasn't good for his eyes, but she didn't.

Everleigh was eating the apples, but her attention wasn't on the magazine in her hand. Looking at the figure on the bed in the bedroom, she felt a sense of loneliness that made him unapproachable. Loneliness?

The moment the word crossed her mind, she was stunned for a moment and soon denied it.

How could Theodore be lonely? In the past seven years, his career had been flourishing. If it weren't for some accidents, his marriage would have been smooth-sailing. How could a person who lacked nothing be lonely?
