Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh stood up straight and her powerful aura weighed heavily on everyone in the room, making it difficult for them to breathe, especially Madison. She was so angry that her eyes almost popped out, but she was ignored. Christopher stood by the side with a cold face. Without saying a word, he shot a cold glance at Madison.

She felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

"Mrs. Godfrey, don't think that you can drive Everleigh away by doing this. Remember, Everleigh is my woman. If anyone dares to make her unhappy, I will not let her go easily." Christopher's voice was cold, like ice. Mr. Lawson sat on the chair and felt like he was sitting on needles instead.

Mrs. Godfrey was on his left, and the important people in the hospital were on his right. He couldn't afford to offend these people.

Only now did he realize that as the dean, he was nothing in front of power.

Everleigh snorted, turned around, and opened the door to go out.

As for Josephine and Theodore, who were standing outside, they could clearly hear what was going on inside. He felt even more guilty towards Everleigh. "Everleigh." Josephine pretended to go forward, with a little worry in her eyes, but her thoughts were completely different from her expression.

Everleigh ignored Josephine's hypocritical nature and didn't even look at her. Instead, she stared at Theodore. "Do you have anything else to say now?"

Theodore's eyes darkened as he pursed his thin lips. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "Nothing."

"Then don't blame me for being rude. It's your mother who did this to me." After saying this, she turned around and left.

Christopher followed after her. When he saw Theodore, he clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles creaked.

If it wasn't for the wrong timing, he really wanted to give him a few punches. What else could this man do?

Everleigh waited for Christopher outside and guessed that he would follow her out. A few minutes later, he appeared.

His face was gloomy, and the anger in his eyes was clearly visible. He said in a more resentful tone, "I think Mr. Lawson is a fence-sitter."

"It's the situation that forced him to do so. It's not his fault."

Christopher gave her a sidelong glance and said coldly, "Are you still in the mood to speak up for him now?"

"Of course, I am blessed to be able to rest for a period of time." Although Everleigh was angry, there was nothing she could do. After all, the Godfrey family had great power. They could dismiss her whenever they wanted. In that case, it was better for her to have a good rest to accompany Alastair and Adrienne.

Christopher looked at her. Although she said it so easily, she still felt sad.

"Fine, I'll also take a break together with you. Let's leave the rest to the future." Christopher placed his hand on Everleigh's shoulder as he felt extremely dissatisfied. They'd spent the whole night saving Helen, and yet they were being bullied by the Godfreys.

There was no justice at all.

She was also very tired, so she wanted to have a good rest.

The two got in the car and prepared to return to the Trevino home.

Of course, Christopher was not shy about coming along as he said that his father-in-law would miss him if he didn't go. Behind them, Theodore saw their actions clearly. The anger in his eyes kept rising, but there was nothing he could do.

What right did he have to be by her side? He could not even protect her as he watched his mother dismiss her.

Josephine walked over from behind and called out in a soft voice, "Theodore."

He came back to his senses when he heard her. He slowly turned around and stared at her with cold eyes.

Josephine's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of her mouth twitched stiffly. "Theodore, why are you looking at me like that?"

He didn't say anything. His eyes were frigid as a blizzard.

She had done something wrong, so she couldn't bear to look at him. When she was about to say something, Mrs. Godfrey came out with her high heels. She had a noble temperament that couldn't be ignored. "Let's go."

"Mom, are you really not ashamed at all?"

"Why should I be ashamed? She put all the blame on me. Do you think I'll let that vixen go?" Mrs. Godfrey was a little angry. If it wasn't for the large number of people around, she would have shouted at the top of her lungs. When Josephine saw this, she quickly grabbed Madison's arm and said, "Aunt Madison, don't be angry. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding."

"The misunderstanding is that that vixen would do anything to achieve her goal." Mrs. Godfrey's eyes narrowed slightly as she replied harshly. However, her eyes were still on Theodore.

His gaze grew angrier, and the iciness emanating from his body sent chills down everyone's spines.

Even Mrs. Godfrey trembled in her heart.

"You know very well what the truth is." After saying this, he turned around and left.

His retreating figure was harsh and unapproachable.

As Josephine wrapped her arm around Mrs. Godfrey, a cunning gleam flashed in her eyes.

That night, Everleigh woke up and was about to go downstairs to eat something when she saw Abraham sitting on the sofa. Beside him, Adrienne said with a smile, "Grandpa, do you think Little Red Riding Hood will be eaten by the big grey wolf?"

"It's possible."

"Really? What a pity. Little Red Riding Hood is so cute." Adrienne's chubby little face was full of sadness.

Abraham couldn't help but laugh when he saw this and his voice was firm but clear. Furthermore, Everleigh couldn't remember how long it had been since she last heard his laughter.

"Mommy." When Adrienne saw her standing at the top of the stairs, she called out to her in a childish voice. The sadness Everleigh had just felt disappeared. Then, she came to her senses and walked over.

Abraham turned his head slightly and looked at her thin figure, that had a bit of fatigue on her face.

"How about you go and play with Aunt Selena?" Everleigh held Adrienne's face and asked softly.

She pursed her lips and her eyes flashed slightly. "One ice cream."

She hadn't eaten ice cream for a long time. Every time she asked Selena for ice cream, she would refuse just as Everleigh did. Hence, there was no chance for ice cream.

"Nope, I guess you'll just stay here then." Everleigh refused. She knew that Adrienne had a requirement every time she spoke, which was not a good habit.

"Go ahead and eat some. I've bought a lot," Abraham suddenly said. Adrienne was very happy if she could eat ice cream. She walked straight to him and kissed his cheek. Her small eyes smiled like the crescent moon. "Thank you, Grandpa." After Adrienne left, only Abraham and Everleigh were left in the living room. He took a cup of tea and took a sip. "I heard that you were dismissed?"

The look in Everleigh's eyes changed, and she said softly, "Yeah."

"Then what do you plan to do now?" What Abraham wanted to know the most was whether or not she wanted to leave, or if she wanted to stay.

They had been separated for so many years. It was rare for them to reunite again. In the past few years, she had suffered a lot abroad. As a father, how could he bear it?

Everleigh raised her eyes to cover up the worry in her eyes and said as if nothing had happened, "Of course I'll stay here. I'll look for a job later. Then, I'll have time to accompany the children."
