Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 35 Extra Care Theodore's cold gaze flustered Everleigh. She forced herself to say, "My sister is young and immature. She debuted at a young age, so sometimes she doesn't know right from wrong." The man's eyes were piercing, and he snorted, "You're trying to say that I don't know right from wrong?" "That's not what I meant..." Everleigh felt like he would find fault in everything she said. Therefore, she concluded, "I'm sorry, just pretend that I didn't say anything. I said too much." She shut her mouth immediately.

Theodore shot a cold glance at her. A few moments later, he stopped glaring at her.

The scenery outside the window flashed by. Everleigh was very familiar with the city. After seven years, it was more prosperous than before. After the car entered the city, it blended in with the rest of the traffic. Eventually, bright neon lights lit up and surrounded the city.

Theodore dropped Everleigh at her place.

Before getting off, he handed Everleigh a box of chocolates. He stared at her shocked face and maintained his cold tone. "It's not for you. Give it to Adrienne." Everleigh held the box of chocolates, and her eyes were dry. After a long pause, she found her voice and replied, "I thank you on behalf of Adrienne. Thank you for sendingback today." The car window slowly rolled up, and his cold face gradually disappeared behind the window. Before the window was shut, her eyes locked into his. She forgot to hide the pain in her eyes. Although she averted her gaze hurriedly, he spotted the look in her eyes.

Back then, they were together for four years, and they knew each other better than anyone else. If she did not leave without a word, no one would have guessed that their relationship would end that very summer. It was night when Everleigh entered the apartment.

The twins were in the living room. When they heard the sound from the door, a pink figure bounced up from the sofa like a ball. Adrienne rushed to Everleigh and hugged the latter. "Mommy, you're back!" Everleigh bent down to hug Adrienne, and she felt a little better. She said softly, "How was today? I wasn't at home, so did you listen to your brother?" "Of course, I always listen to Alastair. If you don't believe me, you can ask him." Adrienne's eyes lit up when she spotted the box of chocolates that Everleigh was holding. "It's chocolate!" Everleigh cto her senses and handed the box to Adrienne. "It's for you." "Wow, I always wanted to try this. They don't sell it here!" Adrienne held the large box of chocolates in her arms. Her eyes were glowing, and she asked, "Mommy, where did you get this?" "Well..." Everleigh was about to mention his name, but she swallowed it. "A friend of mine gave it to me. You can share it with your brother." "Friend?" Adrienne blinked and asked in a soft voice, "What friend? Have Alastair and I met that person?" Everleigh forced herself to smile and answered, "Maybe I'll introduce you guys if I can." "Is it an uncle or an auntie?" Everleigh hesitated for a second and replied, "He's a Stainley." "Is he pursuing you?" "No." "Is he handsome?" "Er...

"Is he handslike Daddy is?" Adrienne suddenly mentioned 'daddy,' and Everleigh's face stiffened. She furrowed her delicate brows and warned, "Adrienne, I've told you that he's not your father."

Evidently, Adrienne did not take Everleigh's words seriously. Instead, she acted like an adult and lectured, "Mommy, you have Daddy, so you can't accept gifts from someone else." Everleigh stared at Adrienne and hissed, "Then givethe chocolates. I'll return it to him." Adrienne's face changed immediately. She hugged the box tightly and protected her prized possession. She retracted her footsteps and almost tripped. She said seriously, "That uncle must be like Christopher. I know he's not pursuing you!" Before Everleigh could reply, Adrienne slipped into the living room hurriedly. She leaped onto the sofa and shouted, "Alastair, chocolate, chocolate! Your favorite!" Everleigh stood up straight and smiled helplessly. She supported herself against the cupboard and changed her shoes.

It was getting dark, yet the lights were still on in Godfrey Group's presidential office.

The night view was spectacular outside the huge windows. The business district was bustling, and there was a heavy flow of traffic.

Theodore stood by the window. He was tall and well-built. He rolled up his sleeves and revealed his sturdy arms. He held a cigarette between his slender fingers, and smoke was coming from it.

Someone knocked on the door behind him and opened it. Moses called "Mr. Godfrey." "Cin." Theodore turned around and put out the cigarette in the ashtray. He asked, "What's the matter?" Moses hesitated for a moment and replied, "Mr. Lawson from the hospital just called. He asked if we should change the medical expert on set." "Hmm?" Theodore frowned and asked, "Why?" "Apparently, the crew brought this up to the hospital. I looked into it, and it was the female lead's request." Moses studied Theodore's expression carefully and continued, "Perhaps, she can't get along with Dr. Trevino. Yet, it was your idea to let Dr. Trevino guide the team so that Mr. Lawson couldn't decide." Theodore was quiet, and Moses asked cautiously, "Mr. Godfrey, how should I proceed with it?" The office's lighting was bright, and the fluorescent light shone down on Theodore, adding a layer of frost on him. "We're not changing." Moses was taken aback, but he replied, "Yes, Sir." After hesitating for a moment, Moses pointed out, "Mr. Godfrey, you seem really nice to Dr. Trevino."

Moses worked with Theodore for many years, but Theodore never put in so much effort for anyone.0 M Suddenly, he was paying extra attention to a doctor that he had barely even met. He did not only look her up, but he was also worried about her work. Moses' remarks irked Theodore, and he glanced at Moses in displeasure. Theodore repeated, "Nice to her? Which part oflooks like I'm nice to her?" Moses' heart skipped a beat, and he dared not speak.

"It's getting late. You should get off work." Theodore seemed a little frustrated. He waved his hand to dismiss Moses.

"Yes, Sir." Moses closed the door behind him gently. The sound of the closing door echoed in the office. A few seconds later, silence ensued, and Theodore could hear his own breathing.

He was on his own in the office.

He scowled in annoyance when he recalled Moses' comments.

Nice to her?

He did not arrange for Everleigh to work on set because he cared for her. Why was he the only one who' was still hung up about what ve happened? Who gave her the right to start over? Why could she return whenever she wanted?

The kids weighed down on him as well. He could find out about their dates of birth and nothing else. He could not even find anything about Everleigh when she was abroad. He only managed to dig up sof her research work. What had she been up to in the past seven years?
