Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Of course, Everleigh did not forget to tease her. Both Cecil's brothers were talented and amazing people.

On the other hand, she did not deny her statement as well.

"How long will you be staying this time?" Everleigh saw the red light up ahead and directly stopped in front of it.

She turned around and asked.

However, Cecil seemed to be fast asleep.

Thus, Everleigh shook her head helplessly and rolled down the window to let her sleep more comfortably. It was a bit hot and stuffy that night, probably because it was going to rain.

If the air-conditioning was too strong, Cecil would get a headache.

It was already the next day when she woke up. She couldn't even remember how she arrived home.

Then, she turned her head and she noticed that Everleigh was fast asleep. After that, she stood up abruptly.

"Everleigh."

Everleigh opened her sleepy eyes, and she said while rubbing them, "What are you doing? Why are you up so early in the morning?"

"Why am I here? Why didn't you send me home?" Cecil said anxiously and quickly got up to change.

It seemed like she was in a hurry.

On the other hand, Everleigh was startled by her behavior. What was wrong with this girl? Hadn't she lived here before? Why was she so anxious about leaving? "What happened?"

"I came back this time because I received a call from my brother. I forgot to tell you to send me back to my house." Cecil had put on her clothes and looked around for her shoes, but she still didn't find them after rummaging for a long time. Everleigh frowned slightly. If she was in such a hurry, why didn't she ask someone from her family to pick her up?

Furthermore, she hadn't told her what happened yet.

"I have to go. I'll call you when I'm free, okay?" Cecil shouted as she walked out of the room.

Then, Everleigh opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't. "Forget it, I'll ask her next time."

When she woke up, Everleigh saw Selena looking at her with a gloomy face as she fiercely took a bite of bread while staring at her.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Why were you screaming in the morning? Don't you know that I need my beauty sleep? How can I go to my shoot looking like this?" Selena threw her bread on the plate, and her tone was very resentful. Everleigh didn't want it to happen either as she didn't expect Cecil to scream so early in the morning.

Even then, she'd failed to stop her in time.

At the time, Alastair and Adrienne also came down and went to the table. Adrienne picked up some bread and said, "Mommy, can we go out to play today?"

"Where would you like to go?"

"Today is a holiday, so we want to go to the zoo. Our teacher said that we need to take a photo with the animals we like before we put it in the time capsule, so we need to go there." Adrienne spoke in a childish tone. Then, she wanted to grab the jam with her little hands, but she couldn't reach it.

Selena's heart suddenly melted at the sight, and she reached out her hand before she handed the jam to her. The loving look in her eyes was totally different from the angry person she was earlier. "Thank you, Auntie."

At the sight of Selena's behavior, Everleigh blinked and pretended to be very apologetic, saying, "I'm afraid I don't have time today. Why don't we go next week?"

Hearing this, Adrienne's face was full of disappointment. "All right."

On the other hand, Alastair didn't have much of a reaction. Although he also wanted to see the pandas very much, he would give it up if Everleigh didn't have time.

Selena saw their disappointed looks and felt sorry for the kids. Then, she turned her head and scolded, "How can you call yourself a mother? You can't even fulfill a tiny request from your kids." Everleigh picked up the milk on the table as she folded her legs together and leaned back in the chair.

"I lived like this abroad. In order to earn money, I couldn't always fulfill their desires." Everleigh's expression was indifferent, but her eyes were full of sadness.

Someone once said that life and love were filled with hard choices. It was always one or the other, never both.

Although it wasn't that bad, to support herself and her children, she had tried her best.

Selena was stunned when she heard her words. She didn't know what kind of life Everleigh had led with her two children abroad.

She looked down at Alastair and Adrienne, and they seemed used to their mother's attitude towards them. They were a little disappointed, but they were not angry at her.

Just from this point, ;it was clear Everleigh had taught these two children very well.

"I'll take them to the zoo."

"Aren't you going to the film shoot? Do you have the time?" Everleigh asked indifferently.

Selena looked at her with disdain and her voice dripped with annoyance. "I can delay the shoot. I don't want the kids to be let down like this. Do you think everyone is as heartless as you?" After that, she turned her head and said in a kind tone, "I will take you there, okay?"

"Okay Auntie, then can we not come back in the afternoon too? Can we eat out?" When Adrienne heard that she was willing to take her, she suddenly smiled, and the previous disappointment disappeared. Selena didn't care where they ate, as long as the children liked it.

Everleigh secretly smiled but it soon disappeared. However, Alastair still managed to catch it.

To be honest, Alastair was also very exasperated at his mother's childish behavior.

After Adrienne gobbled down her breakfast, she left with Selena with her small school bag on her back. As usual, Alastair followed her silently.

After they left, Abraham came down and looked at the closed door. "Even if you want Selena to bring the children out, you didn't have to do it this way."

Everleigh looked back at her father with a faint smile on her face. "Nothing gets past you, Dad."

"After you left, Selena never talked about you. I knew she was angry because of your departure, but she's not a bad person." He sat in the chair as he took a sip of the milk on the table. Her eyes dimmed a little, and she said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, Dad."

"Let bygones be bygones. Don't mention it again." His eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of awkwardness.

Then, she lowered her head and kept silent. The past was the past, but for her, it was a thorn in her heart forever. Every time she thought about it, she felt that she was an unfilial daughter. Ultimately, she had hurt her father, who loved her very much.

...

When Everleigh arrived at the hospital, Christopher was busy flirting with the nurse. When he saw her coming in, he ran over with his face flushed.

His face was full of dissatisfaction. "Couldn't you just come slightly later or earlier than this? You have such bad timing!"

"The nurse is new right? She is only 19 years old, and you have the audacity to flirt with her." She ignored his dissatisfaction and went straight to her seat to look at the patient records. Perhaps it was some sort of cosmic joke, but the first page she turned to belonged to Theodore.

According to the record, everything was fine.

Christopher snorted. "What do you know? The younger the better, they last longer that way."
