Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Theodore still wanted to say something, but the security guards didn't give him any chance to do so. The people he brought with him didn't dare to make another move either.

After all, he didn't say anything yet. Hence, the group of people were chased out of the function by the guards.

All the guests in the room were completely silent. They widened their eyes and looked at Abraham in disbelief.

Theodore was from the Godfrey family. How could he chase them out just like that?

Christopher, on the other hand, was glad to see that happening. Indeed, Abraham was a man of integrity. He didn't care about power and authority, but rather, wanted to ensure that his daughter got justice. Seeing his quick moves, the Meyer family all nodded their heads in agreement. Abraham and Everleigh were very similar, at least in this aspect, as they would never yield easily.

"Dad," Everleigh whispered. Her eyes turned slightly red, and many emotions were hidden in her tone.

He turned around and looked at her, who was already teary-eyed. In a calm voice, he said, "I made a mistake. I shouldn't have allowed you to leave like that last time, and if I didn't, you wouldn't have suffered so much." Hearing this, she suddenly burst into tears, but she had a smile on her beautiful face.

Obviously, she did not expect her father to tell her such things.

For so many years, she put the blame on herself for leaving because she was agitated. With that, she almost cost him his life.

In fact, she ought to be the person apologizing to him, yet he admitted his mistake to her.

The others did not know how to respond, seeing what had happened.

However, Christopher wasn't fond of seeing such scenes, so he quickly replied, "Dad, it wasn't like this at all. Everleigh has never blamed you, and her insistence hurt you. Plus, she told me her father was the best in the world." As soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled aside by Felicia. "You're one to talk."

"What do you know? I'm saying this on behalf of my wife," he pouted in disagreement. However, his expression still said otherwise as he was pretty satisfied with his own words.

Because of their actions, many people couldn't contain their laughter.

Of course, Everleigh's sadness was also gone at Christopher's wackiness. He really knew how to lighten the mood, as she'd never said that before.

When Vanessa saw Everleigh smiling, she was relieved. She walked over and patted her hand. "My child, I know a lot of things have happened, but we don't mind. Regardless of whether your marriage to Christopher is real or not, you are still the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family. Do you understand?"

Everleigh nodded and felt more guilty. Not only did they fake the marriage, but nothing ever happened between them.

But how could she bring herself to say anything like that?

Thus, she had a feeling that it would be a little difficult to explain this matter in the future.

On the other hand, Christopher did not care as he was used to it already. As long as he could be free, he could forget everything.

The Trevino family's banquet went on as normal; but on the outside, things were very different.

Moses couldn't help but look at Theodore, who had been standing still at the door of the Trevino family home. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He had already told him that it was a bad idea for him to come uninvited. Not only had they interrupted the gathering, he had brought embarrassment to himself as well. It was like seeking to be slapped himself.

Theodore stared at the doors shut tightly in front of him, "Moses, I blew it."

"Mr. Godfrey, love is never lost." Moses shivered violently at his words.

Then, he thought, "I don't even have the time to fall in love, so how will I know he feels?"

Theodore suddenly laughed bitterly. She didn't care about him anymore. Honestly, he couldn't blame her since he had wronged her greatly. Anyone else would not forgive him too.

That time when she went abroad, he couldn't forgive her and he resented her for seven years. How could she forgive him in return?

Then, he turned around. His eyes were dim, and his heart felt like it had stopped beating.

So, they would never get back together anymore.

At the thought of this, his heart couldn't help but throb in pain. He put his hand on his chest to soothe it. Unable to even take a few steps ahead, he fell into darkness and fainted on the ground.

Meanwhile, Moses was alarmed, and he quickly held Theodore up before he ordered those standing behind him, "Send Mr. Godfrey to the hospital now!"

In the blink of an eye, the number of vehicles in front of the Trevino family's gate decreased dramatically. Once again, the night returned to its tranquility.

After the banquet ended, the Meyer family stayed behind. However, Everleigh received a call informing her that Theodore had fainted and was rushed to the hospital.

Her expression changed slightly. After a long pause, she responded, "I'm not on duty today. If you have something to report, go to Dr. Smith." Then, she hung up the phone directly.

As Christopher sat next to her, he clearly heard what was going on the phone. "Are you sure you don't want to go over?"

"Your parents are here. It's not appropriate for me to leave. Besides... Stainley will take care of him."

Nevertheless, Christopher still saw through her thoughts. Obviously, she was very concerned about him. Her hands were clutching the table cloth so tightly that it was almost being tugged away by her, yet there she was still trying to force herself to not care about him.

Meanwhile, Alastair and Adrienne were by Vanessa and Felicia's side. Adrienne was a sweet girl and always said nice things, so naturally, she found favor with the both of them.

This was especially so for Vanessa, who was grinning from ear to ear. She doted on Adrienne very much.

At night, Alastair came to Everleigh's room and asked, "Mommy, can we talk?"

"Okay, come in and have a seat." Everleigh moved aside and let him sit next to her.

Alastair and Adrienne were different. He dealt with matters very differently from kids of his age. Just like that day's event, he knew that they had something to say, so he took his sister away from the scene.

"Do you want to ask about what happened today?"

"Yes. Mommy, is it true that you don't like that person very much?" Alastair raised his head and stared right into her eyes questionably.

His expression reminded her of Theodore.

As far as she knew, he had never called Theodore 'daddy'. Only Adrienne called Theodore that.

"What do you want to know?"

"Mommy, I don't like that person, especially Madison. Although I don't know what happened seven years ago, I can feel that every time you meet him, the result won't be anything good." Even though his voice was still very much a child's, his intonation was very mature and emotionless.

As she read the expression on his face, the smile at the corner of her mouth gradually disappeared. He had never asked her such a question before, nor did he talk about other men with her. He'd always fooled around with Adrienne. Perhaps he was agitated by what had taken place that day.

"Alastair, the adult world is very confusing, just like me. I know what you mean, but it's the way the world works. We don't get what we want every time."

"But what does it have to do with today's incident?" He asked again.

"He is your biological father, but he and I are not getting back together. I know it's a little selfish for me to raise you in a single-parent family, but I hope you can understand that I hoped to give you a complete family, but I couldn't." That was right, she couldn't give them the family they hoped for. They were used to relying on each other and didn't think about anyone else getting involved. Theodore's appearance was just as she had expected, but she couldn't expect what would happen next, just like that day's situation.
