Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Josephine's father relied on Theodore's power while he had offended many. Given the current situation, even though there weren't any deaths or losses to the family, it was almost the equivalent, as they were struggling to keep up with life, and profits were out the window.

The news of Everleigh being hospitalized was spread to Yvonne. Meanwhile, Everleigh was getting out of her bed when Yvonne walked in.

"Miss Trevino."

"Miss Miller." Everleigh cried out in surprise. She never thought that Yvonne would be here.

Furthermore, Hansen followed behind her.

Hansen's face was still as pale as ever, and he smiled sweetly at her, "Everleigh."

She smiled softly and pointed at the sofa, signaling for them to take a seat.

"Where are Alastair and Adrienne?"

"In the bathroom. They'll be back soon." As soon as she finished speaking, Alastair and Adrienne appeared.

Adrienne, in particular, was very happy to see Hansen there. "Hansen, you're here. Hurry up and sit down. I'll give you something delicious to eat."

Meanwhile, Yvonne sat aside and looked at the three together as she smiled.

"Hansen rarely speaks at home, but now that he is here, he's really a chatterbox."

"He's just affected by Alastair and Adrienne." Everleigh let out a soft laugh. She was still very fond of Hansen.

However, they could not be involved with the Godfrey family anymore. They couldn't afford to.

Yvonne turned around to look at Everleigh. It seemed that she was much better. "You look like you are doing okay now."

"Yes, Christopher makes sure I take supplements everyday, and I gained weight." Everleigh sounded rather helpless. Meanwhile, he was afraid that she didn't eat enough and stuffed the room with food.

Of course, Adrienne was happy. She came to eat and drink her fill everyday.

Yvonne was still the same person she usually was, gentle and demure, just like a lily waiting to bloom.

"Have you seen the news?"

Everleigh's expression froze for a moment, but she soon returned to her senses. "I saw it."

"I'm afraid that the Godfrey family will not allow this. With the old lady gone, how can Madison tolerate disobedience from her son?" Yvonne's voice was not loud, but it was heard clearly.

Everleigh's gaze sank slightly and she glanced at her. She did not understand why she was talking to Yvonne about this.

The Godfrey family being in a mess was not good news to her either.

Then, Yvonne couldn't help but speak when she saw Everleigh staring at her like this, "I don't mean anything else. I just think that the more Madison acts like this, the happier I will be. After being oppressed by her for so many years, karma has finally come for her too."

"Miss Miller, these things..."

"I can say these things in front of anyone. Everyone thinks that I am a mistress, but only I know how much I've been holding myself back these past few years. Just take it as if I was ranting to you." Hearing this, Everleigh had nothing to say.

She'd heard everything, so what else could she say?

Meanwhile, Yvonne looked at her with a straight face, but Everleigh felt a little unnatural.

After that, Christopher came in with his hands full of goodies, not even lifting his head up he spoke, "My dear, I brought you a lot of those doughnuts that you love."

When he came in, his handsome face was full of smiles. However, his smile froze in an instant when he saw Yvonne.

"Miss Miller, when did you arrive?"

When Yvonne saw his expression, she chuckled. "I've just arrived. It seems that you're also here to visit your wife despite your busy schedule."

He smiled but did not answer. He went in and took out the doughnuts for the three children.

Adrienne was not shy at all and dug in as soon as she got her hands on them. She even told Hansen, "Come eat together. A little won't hurt."

However, he looked at Yvonne with the doughnut in his hands.

She frowned and she seemed hesitant.

"Dig in. There's nothing wrong with his heart," Everleigh said.

Then, Yvonne turned around and nodded, agreeing that he could eat it.

Upon hearing these words, he grinned happily, revealing his row of pearly white teeth.

On the other hand, Yvonne was also stunned by his obviously happy face.

She stayed until late afternoon and Hansen was a bit unwilling to leave then. Fortunately, Adrienne managed to talk to him before he left.

After they left, Christopher asked, "Why did she drop by?"

"To visit me."

"Really?"

"She was also here to share her thoughts too," Everleigh said helplessly.

He raised his eyebrows and agreed with her.

"The Godfrey family has a lot of drama going on. Yvonne is definitely waiting for a good show at this point."

Everleigh smiled but did not comment further on that.

Later in the evening, Abraham and Selena came over to visit and they planned to take the two children home as well.

Selena looked at Everleigh's pale face and could not help saying, "What have you been up to? It's been so long, but you still look so pale."

"I can't rest well here. Dad, I want to go home," she said as she glanced at her father.

"Go home for what? I am always here on the night shift and I can keep an eye on you. Don't you worry. With me around, your life won't be dull at all." Christopher patted his chest and he looked very proud. Meanwhile, Abraham stood by the door with a straight face as he watched Christopher acting like a child.

For a split second, he found that it wouldn't be too bad if the two of them were together. At least him being who he was, he could take Everleigh's toughness.

"Dad, what are you looking at? Take a seat." Christopher saw that Abraham seemed to be deep in thought as he was standing there. Then, he quickly walked over and helped him sit down. "Mm." Abraham sat beside Alastair and Adrienne.

On the other hand, Selena and Adrienne were chit-chatting animatedly.

Before leaving, Abraham said to Everleigh, "When you're discharged, ask Christopher to come with you. Let's have a meal together as a family."

Everleigh's expression froze, and she couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind. Christopher was family now?

Did this mean that he was giving him the green light?

However, Christopher smiled brightly at his words, "Dad, please be careful and call me when you get home."

Selena saw his face and cringed. This man was really just like the rumors said, disgusting.

Christopher saw her loathing, but he ignored it. At that moment, he was publicly acknowledged as the son-in-law of the Trevino family, so people wouldn't dare to say another word. On the other hand, Everleigh couldn't bear to look at his prideful face.

After making sure they were gone, she said slowly, "Don't get carried away. We are faking the marriage."

"What's wrong with that? The marriage certificate is real. As long as we have this, we are officially husband and wife," Christopher said loudly, but the pride in his tone could not be concealed.

She laughed without saying anything, and she couldn't take his behavior.

After a while, she asked, "When will I be discharged from the hospital?"

"The day after tomorrow. I am also off duty that day."

She nodded. She heard from Stainley that Christopher had been on duty for her and he had not rested well for several days. Even if he wanted to rest, he slept on the sofa here for a while before going back to work. She was worried about his condition sometimes.
