Chapter 283 Theodore Had No Reasons
He regretted his initial tough attitude. Letting Everleigh give birth overseas had caused her plenty of hardships.
"Mr. Godfrey, today's focus is my family's dinner. If you have nothing else to do here, you'd better go back," Everleigh said in a deep voice, with disappointment in her eyes.
"Yes, Mr. Godfrey, my brother and my sister-in-law have had a misunderstanding since the Thanksgiving banquet, and now is a good chance for them to clear things up. Mr. Godfrey, please don't make trouble again," Felicia also said. Her sharp gaze made people shudder.
Theodore felt as if he had been ignored. He walked up to Everleigh and his eyes were filled with grief. The fierce aura from before had completely died down. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Do you think so as well? Are you really going to let go of your seven-year relationship just like that?"
She raised her head, and her indifferent expression concealed her sadness. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Mr. Godfrey, what Felicia said is right. Today's banquet is very special for me."
Upon hearing these words, Theodore's body swayed, and he almost fainted.
Seeing this, Moses took a few steps forward. If Theodore was about to faint, he could support him.
"Are you really going to be so heartless?" He didn't give up and continued to ask.
Everleigh suddenly laughed and said in a cold voice, "Mr. Godfrey, you are really unreasonable. If I am heartless, then what about you? After I parted ways with you, you became engaged to my best friend. Weren't you heartless? Didn't you know the reason why I left then? Do you think that I can still be with you after everything the Godfrey family has done to me?"
He felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if someone had cut him open. He knew that he was wrong and that he had gone too far. He wanted to make up for it, but why didn't she give him the chance?
"Besides, you mentioned coming to propose marriage. Allow me to ask you one more question. Does your mother know? She won't use all her strength to hurt Everleigh like last time, will she?" Christopher also added softly. He seemed unfazed, as if Theodore wasn't there to fight him for his wife.
Theodore's face darkened.
Everleigh felt depressed. It seemed that he had not thought of anything and came here directly. Perhaps in his heart, as long as he liked her, he would do it and never care about her wellbeing at all.
Many people said that she was arrogant, strong, and liked the spotlight, but Theodore was exactly the same.
They were the same person. How dare he question her?
"I..."
"I still remember how Mrs. Godfrey scolded Everleigh at the banquet last time. To be honest, I don't think I could bear it even as a man. What more to say, a woman? Even if she did marry you, will you really make her happy?" Everleigh and Theodore stared at each other. One had a smile on her face, while the other had a gloomy expression on his.
The two of them formed a sharp contrast.
Upon hearing this, Vanessa realized that it was time for her entrance. She walked over in her high heels and said, "Mr. Godfrey, I am very satisfied with my daughter-in-law. Although they might be in a fake marriage, as long as they are registered, she is a member of the Meyer family. The Godfrey family regards her as a pain in the as*, but she is a treasure to us, the Meyers." When she had finished her sentence, Vanessa held Everleigh's hands in hers.
Her love towards Everleigh was evident from her expression.
There was no doubt that she really liked her.
Theodore could see the love on her face. Compared to his own mother, there was a stark contrast between how Vanessa and Madison treated Everleigh.
There was nothing he could say to that.

"Everleigh, what about the children? Do you really think that the children are better off without their father?" He didn't want to take the children away.
His love for the children was not less than anyone else.
Christopher sneered. "To think that you have the audacity to bring this up. I still remember how your mother referred to the children. If I'm not wrong, she said that they are illegitimate? How could she bring herself to say such things to her biological grandchildren? You Godfreys are surely amazing pieces of work."
"What? Did she really say that?" Vanessa immediately became furious. She liked the two children very much and could not forgive those who called them illegitimate children.
"You claim yourself as a father, but you didn't put any effort into it. Yet, the Godfreys still aren't satisfied," Christopher continued, the sarcasm on his face clearly visible.
Everleigh lowered her eyelids, and the pain in her eyes couldn't be hidden away.
Meanwhile, Abraham stood at the side, seething with rage as he listened. Although the Trevino family was not as mighty as the Godfrey family, they would not be humiliated like this. "You... ;Did Mrs. Godfrey really say that?"
"What is wrong with that woman? She's just a divorced woman who relies on her son so that she can run amok in the Godfrey family and do those inhumane things," Vanessa said exasperatedly. She didn't hide the anger on her face at all. Theodore didn't say a word as he stood there. He didn't care about what others were saying about Madison, as he knew that they were telling the truth.
However, how could Everleigh be so cruel? Did she really feel nothing for him?
"Enough, all of you, shut up!" Abraham suddenly shouted angrily. His voice echoed in the room and it did not dissipate for a long time.
Vanessa was also shaken by his voice, and her expression clearly showed that she was still in shock.
Not only her, but everyone else was also scared by his voice.
They didn't understand why he was so angry.
Then, he walked towards Theodore. His face was filled with coldness, and his turbid eyes suddenly lit up.
"Now that you mention the children, where were you when I drove her out of the family because she was pregnant? She lived a hard life abroad. Where were you?" His question rendered Theodore speechless. He really didn't know that Everleigh left because she was pregnant.
Perhaps even if he knew at that time, he might not necessarily admit it. He would only think that the child was Stainley's.
"Since you didn't show up when she needed you, you don't need to appear again. Although Christopher is notorious, he is sincere towards Everleigh. He's much better than you, who's nothing but an irresponsible person. Mr. Godfrey, the Trevino family doesn't deserve your attention. Please leave right now." Abraham pointed to the door, and his face was full of anger. If Theodore dared to refuse, he would drive him out.
On the other hand, the Meyer family was pleasantly surprised to hear Mr. Trevino's words. However, they were also very guilty. A woman had come knocking on their door previously because of Christopher's promiscuous ways. Everleigh still didn't know about it, so they didn't dare to compliment him for his "wonderful achievements".
"Mr. Trevino, can't you give me a chance?" Theodore said sincerely.
However, Abraham refused flatly. He immediately ordered the security guards to come in and escort Theodore out.
He was not afraid of the revenge of the Godfrey family. What he cared most about was that Everleigh would be hurt. He knew about Mrs. Godfrey's attitude that day. How could he, as a father, not be sad when thinking that his daughter would be treated like this?
