Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

"Everleigh, sit down," Christopher's voice came from the side.

Before she could come back to her senses, he pressed her shoulders and made her sit down. "Christopher..."

"Have a seat. Madam Scott has specially reserved a seat for you," he said with a broad smile before he turned around and sat down on the other side of Theodore. "I'll take a seat here." Thus, Theodore was directly sandwiched between them.

"How can you..." A man's deep voice came from the right, across from Helen and Yvonne. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied, but Yvonne interrupted him with a fierce glare. Wilson's eyebrows knitted together tightly. Looking at the nondescript sitting posture of the three people next to him, his expression turned dark.

"Don't speak." Yvonne lowered her voice. She pressed Wilson's hand and whispered, "Mom wanted it to be this way, so let her be happy."

Wilson's face was cold, but his relationship with Helen hadn't eased up, so he could not say anything more. After a while, he said in a low voice, "It's absurd."

Although his voice was not loud, it still reached Everleigh. She looked at Helen with embarrassment, but she only saw her kind eyes, as if she didn't hear her son's complaints at all.

"Everleigh, this seat is good. It's in the middle of the auditorium and I specially reserved it for you. You can see the children's performance clearly."

However, Everleigh was speechless, and she could only force a smile.

What she needed now was not to see the play clearly, but the embarrassment made her want to find a hole to hide in. Honestly, it felt like she was walking on broken glass at this point.

As for Christopher, he looked like a random bystander who was watching the show as Theodore was between him and Everleigh. Somehow, he had a handful of peanuts. His hand went past Theodore and reached out in front of Everleigh. "Want some to eat?"

"Eat your a*s! Can't you see what situation we're in?"

Everleigh scolded him ten thousand times in her heart, and her eyes were almost burning with anger. She said succinctly, "No, I don't!"

"I brought them back from the Gansen Village specially. They are freshly roasted peanuts. You'll regret it if you don't try them."

"Shut up!" Everleigh ground her teeth as she stared at him.

Alas, Christopher didn't show any self-awareness at all. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Theodore beside him. "Mr. Godfrey, would you like some?"

Theodore glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "Thank you, there's no need for that."

Nevertheless, Christopher did not show the slightest hint of embarrassment on his face despite being rejected. Instead, he just quipped, "You two really don't have any taste." Then, he turned around and went to share the peanuts with the lady next to him. He actually relied on them to chat with the surrounding people.

"How old is your child?"

"Seven years old; they're twins. They will be performing later, so please support them."

"No problem. There will be poems to be read by our children later. Everyone please support them too."

"That's for sure."

...

The crunching sound of people eating peanuts could be heard. All the parents were dressed formally, but Christopher's peanuts seemed to turn the place into a market.

The corner of Everleigh's mouth twitched. She didn't even want to see it as it was so embarrassing.

In the future, if their kids had a parents' meeting or some other activities at school, she would definitely not attend if Christopher was there.

While she was busy being embarrassed, a cold and deep male voice came from the side, "Did the operation in the morning go well?"

Everleigh's train of thought was pulled back to reality. When she looked sideways at Theodore, she was a little taken aback.

"It went pretty well. If it didn't go well, I wouldn't be able to make it here in time."

"That's good." He handed her a bottle of water. "Have some water."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. The children's performance is one of the last ones, right?"

"Yeah, it'll probably take a while."

...

After chatting with each other a few times, the awkward atmosphere slowly eased. Helen was delighted when she saw this.

After a while, the performances began after announcements from the emcee, and the hall gradually quieted down.

Most children were versatile these days and they were extremely talented despite their young age. From poetry recitals to singing, dancing and musical instruments, they were all awe-inspiring indeed. Everleigh had been watching the show quietly, but her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and found that it was a message from Christopher.

"Look, Madam Scott seems to be reconciling with her son. If I took a photo, I think I can sell it to the press for a huge sum."

Everleigh was furious as soon as she saw the message. She immediately replied, "Behave yourself. What kind of photos are you taking? Don't you think you have enough things to deal with?"

Wilson and Helen had not been photographed together for many years, so what Christopher said was not a joke. If he took a picture and sent it to the media, it would directly affect the stock price of the Godfrey Group. Christopher said, "I was just kidding, so why take it so seriously? In fact, I'm quite curious. It seems quite coincidental that Wilson is here today. Did he know that Madam Scott was here?

"How could that be..." Everleigh typed on her phone. Before she could finish typing, she suddenly thought of something and turned her head to have a look.

Yvonne was sitting on the other side of Helen. At that moment, she was concentrating on watching the performance on stage. However, she remained calm and elegant and she still looked passive when she smiled.

By Yvonne's side, Wilson didn't seem to be in any mood to watch the show as his expression was grim.

For some reason, Everleigh's instincts told her that Wilson did not know that Helen was coming that day. If he had known, he would not have risked meeting Madison here.

However, Yvonne knew that Helen would come, because during this period of time, Hansen had been with Alastair and Adrienne. They often went to Helen's ward to rehearse. Everleigh clenched her phone tightly.

"Everleigh, what's wrong?" Helen's voice pulled back her thoughts to the present, and Yvonne also turned her head.

Then, Everleigh immediately looked away and said, "Nothing. Let's just watch the show. It will be Adrienne's turn soon."

"Oh really? I have to take good pictures then." Helen had brought a camera with her, which she had pointed at the stage while she waited for the children's turn to perform. However, Everleigh's mind was not all there, and she felt bored watching the program.

She suddenly recalled what Theodore had said before.

"How innocent do you think someone who's weathered all the storms inside the Godfrey family could be? Don't you know anything about how the world works?"

It was impossible to stay completely free of sin once you got entangled with the Godfrey family, especially Theodore himself. Ever since he became CEO, he'd used some underhanded tactics to get what he wanted, so the others must be the

same.

Thinking of this, Everleigh suddenly felt that her hands and feet were as cold as ice.
