Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Seeing the look on Selena's face, Christopher said with a disdainful smile, "If you were not Everleigh's sister, I would not even admit that you are my sister-in-law. Do you think that everyone can befriend the Meyer Family?" His harsh remarks had deeply hurt her. Was he trying to say that the only reason he gave her the time of day was because of Everleigh?

Seeing that she was very agitated by his words to the extent that she couldn't even control her facial expressions, Everleigh stepped in and warned Christopher in a deep voice. "Stop saying such things."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." He looked obedient. People who didn't know the truth would really think that he loved his wife dearly.

Seeing them like this, Selena was so angry until she had a stomach ache. She snorted and went somewhere else.

After she had left, Everleigh looked at him reproachfully and said, "You went overboard with how you treated my sister."

"Your sister is hostile towards you. Can't you tell?"

"She's my younger sister. Besides, she is not as bad tempered as you think."

Christopher frowned when she defended Selena as he didn't forget how Selena had set her up previously.

Everleigh only ever saw the best in people.

Then, Felicia came over and saw that the two of them were at loggerheads. Her eyes were full of displeasure. She walked over and said, "Did you annoy Everleigh?"

"I didn't do anything, I swear." He looked at the stern look on his sister's face and felt his heart skip a beat.

He feared his sister most when she looked like this.

"Really?" She asked Everleigh, who was sitting beside him.

She was surprised and nodded her head.

Felicia's gaze was sharp and her short haircut made her look more authoritative. Thus, Christopher felt as if he was standing on hot coals. If he could, he really wanted to go to where his mother was, as anything would be better than this.

"Everleigh, if he bullies you, just tell me. I will have the dean suspend him so he gets to stay home and be a babysitter," Felicia said calmly. However, her tone left no room for questions.

Christopher and Everleigh widened their eyes, and her words made things very awkward.

Christopher in particular wanted to hide away so badly. Did Felicia even consider him her brother?

She was clearly on Everleigh's side.

"You invested in the hospital just so you could control me right? Felicia Meyer, you really are cunning..." He did not finish his words and changed what he was going to say immediately to, "Cunningly smart and super decisive when it comes to decision making. I am very proud of you."

He very reluctantly stopped himself from telling the truth at Felicia's glare.

Alas...

Everleigh immediately laughed at his sudden change.

"It's not that serious."

"Just tell me, I know what kind of person he is." Felicia picked up the glass on the table. From the refraction of the lighting, her eyes seemed to be showing how heartless she was. Everleigh smiled awkwardly, and reaffirmed to her that there was nothing going on and finally, this matter was over.

However, at this time, an uninvited guest came to the door, and behind him was a small crowd.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the other side, and Everleigh and Christopher's gazes met each other in unison.

After that, they got up and walked over.

Abraham also noticed that, and as the host, he had to go over to entertain the guests. However, that person was the very last person he wanted to entertain.

"Mr. Godfrey, to what do I owe this visit?"

Theodore was dressed in a black suit, and his handsome features were stern. He looked deeply into Abraham's eyes, and his thin lips tightly pressed together. The elegance that emanated from his body made it seem as if he was born with it. Frankly, it was impossible not to notice him.

"Hello, Mr. Trevino. I'm here today to seek Everleigh's hand in marriage," Theodore said in a deep voice. His expression showed his respect towards Abraham.

Upon hearing his words, everyone in the room inhaled deeply.

That day was a banquet held by the Trevino family, and the Meyer family was invited as well. Why did the Godfreys come to propose marriage? Were the rumors that Everleigh had been having an affair true? Knowing that it could be possible, everyone looked at her with envy and loathing. They were jealous because they didn't expect Theodore to be with her, and they loathed the person she had become. Although Everleigh was shocked by Theodore's words, she recovered from it immediately.

So many things had happened, and he still wanted to seek her hand in marriage.

"How is this possible?" She thought.

Then, Vanessa and Samuel looked at each other. Both of them were suppressing their anger, but it was towards Theodore instead of Everleigh.

As for what had happened between them, Christopher had already told them about it. This man was simply inhumane, and the Godfrey family was even worse.

Hence, Vanessa wanted to go over and talk to Theodore, but she was stopped by Felicia. "Don't get involved. Let Everleigh and Christopher deal with it together." However, Vanessa was a little worried. Theodore was not easy to deal with.

"Felicia is right. Just wait and see. The two of them will be fine." Samuel believed in his daughter's judgement. It was time for Christopher to step up.

Since he was married, he should be responsible for his own marriage.

Sure enough, as soon as they finished speaking, Everleigh and Christopher walked over.

Meanwhile, Abraham's face was a little pale. He had seen Theodore at the last banquet, but he did not know about Everleigh and Christopher's marriage. Now that they were here, he felt very awkward.

"Mr. Godfrey, the Trevinos are having a family banquet. Are you trying to embarrass me or Everleigh?" Christopher put his arm around her shoulder and asked Theodore teasingly. It was as if he didn't hear what he had just said. However, Theodore ignored Christopher and stared at Everleigh.

Her face was cold, and she stared at him indifferently. She clenched her hands tightly as if she was restraining some emotions.

"Daddy, why are you so late?" Adrienne's voice was heard. When she was about to run over, Selena stopped her.

Although she didn't like Christopher, she didn't like Theodore either. She had previously thought that he would be a good sponsor, but she didn't think so anymore.

"Auntie, why are you stopping me?" Adrienne stared at her with her big eyes. She didn't like that she was stopped from going to her father.

"Adrienne, come with me back to the room." Alastair stood and said with a gloomy face.

She rarely saw him like this, but she dared not disobey him. She said disappointedly, "Okay..."

Selena was a little stunned to see Alastair like this. It was the first time he displayed such emotions, as he usually listened to Adrienne, but the positions had switched that day.

"Let's go upstairs together." She walked upstairs with them, but Adrienne looked back at Theodore as she walked up the stairs.

The others whispered to each other when they saw such a scene, but they dared not speak loudly.

Meanwhile, Theodore looked at their backs with a hint of disappointment in his deep eyes.

Seeing this, Christopher could not help but sneer. "Mr. Godfrey, if you're smart, you'd better leave here as soon as possible. Don't embarrass Everleigh. You've caused her enough trouble last time."
