Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Hearing her question, Everleigh felt very guilty. “Nah, they don’t need anything else. You don’t have to waste your money to buy these things.”

“What are you talking about? Those two kids need to be taken good care of. How about this? I’ll pick them up tomorrow and let them stay here with me for a few days.” Judging from Vanessa’s tone, it wasn’t a request; she was determined to do so.

Everleigh tried to speak up, but in the end, she couldn’t say no.

She suddenly remembered that Christopher had the ability to say no.

“Let’s talk about this when Christopher comes back, okay?”

“He… He might not be coming back,” Felicia said in a disgusted tone.

Everleigh turned her head over and looked at her in surprise. “Felicia, what do you mean by that?”

“Although he’s been very busy over there, he still had the time to hit on girls. Does he look like he will be coming back?” She answered coldly.

Vanessa became furious when she heard about it. If Everleigh wasn’t there, she would’ve given Christopher a call and scolded him. “This brat is already married, and yet he’s still flirting with other girls. If Everleigh wasn’t a forgiving lady, she would’ve divorced him a long time ago!” She thought to herself.

Everleigh felt slightly awkward. Logically speaking, she was the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family. She should have been very angry to know that her husband wasn’t loyal. However, she was sitting there calmly, not showing any emotions at all. It made Vanessa feel even more guilty.

“You must be tired. Let me bring you to your room to have a rest.” Felicia broke the awkward atmosphere with her deep voice.

Everleigh nodded and followed her up to the second floor, to Christopher’s room. They were “married”, so it was only reasonable for them to stay in the same room.

Before she could rest, Vanessa came to her room to talk with her.

“Everleigh, there has never been such an unfaithful man in the Meyer family. You must have suffered a lot after marrying him, but I really hope that you can try to tolerate him,” she said sincerely. She felt that she should make things clear.

Everleigh understood what she meant. Christopher’s behavior should have upset her. “Christopher is a grown man. He knows what he should and shouldn’t do. I’m sure he won’t cross the line.”

Hearing that, Vanessa’s eyes teared up as she nodded in relief, “Thank you for trusting him. Everleigh, Christopher might have changed, but it more or less has something to do with us.”

Everleigh stared at her. She was puzzled.

Vanessa sighed. She knew that Christopher wouldn’t tell her about his past.

“Christopher once had a girl he loved very much. They met at a car race. They fell in love with each other, and both Samuel and I had no objections. However, the girl sadly passed away in an accident during a race. Christopher fell into low spirits ever since. He then slowly became a playboy. We’ve talked to him about it, but he just doesn’t listen. All we wanted was for him to live a simple and happy life, so I urged him to get married, even if he chose to marry an ordinary girl.” She was extremely emotional when she talked about it. She was really impressed with that girl, but they just weren’t destined to be together.

Everleigh suddenly remembered that a woman wanted to talk to her about Christopher’s past during the car race previously. Everything finally made sense.

No one would want to uncover the painful past of others. Perhaps Vanessa only chose to share it with her because Christopher wasn’t there.

“I understand.”

“Everleigh, in fact, we don’t care about your past either. Because of you, Christopher finally got to live a peaceful life,” she said gratefully.

She had all the money and status she ever needed. The only hope she had was for her children to live a happy life.

Everleigh didn’t think much about it, but there was a concern in her mind. What would happen if her story with Theodore was finally made public?

She had a headache as soon as she thought about it.

Vanessa comforted her when she saw her worried look, “Don’t worry. When Christopher comes back, I will talk to him about it, and let him listen to you more. I’ll make sure he stays loyal to you.”

“No… That’s not what I meant…” Everleigh tried to explain.

Before she could finish her words, Vanessa interrupted her, “I’m a woman, too. I know how it feels when our husbands flirt with other women.”

Everleigh had nothing else to say. She could only blame herself for thinking about something else. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been misunderstood.

Vanessa knew that she was exhausted, so she comforted her for a while more and then left to let her rest.

Everleigh was finally relieved. She took out her phone and sent Christopher a message, telling him that she had heard about his past.

After that, she hit the sack.

She would most probably be in the news headlines the next day.

The following morning, the first thing that Everleigh did after she woke up was read the news on the internet. Then, she received a call from Theodore.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

He wanted to take her and the children out to have fun. Everleigh didn’t reply to him, and continued reading the news about the Jenkins family.

Just as she had expected, she appeared in the headlines. What’s more, Cynthia was also in the headlines, and it was written that she was out of control.

However, because it was related to the Jenkins family, the news was written in a much more elegant and respectful way.

Felicia drove Everleigh to the hospital. While they were on their way, Felicia said to her, “You don’t have to worry too much about Christopher.”

“I know.”

Felicia looked over and glanced at her with her calm eyes. “What do you think about the news on the internet?”

“I’ve made it very clear to the Jenkins family last night. Cynthia’s problems have nothing to do with me,” Everleigh replied calmly.

Felicia looked ahead and said, “Well, if that’s the case, you should be more careful. The Jenkins family is not that simple. If you have any problems, feel free to look for me.”

“Thank you.”

Felicia didn’t say anything else.

After Everleigh arrived at the hospital, all the nurses gathered around her. It made her feel a little scared. “What are you all doing?”

“Dr. Trevino, you’re really good at keeping a low profile. You’re actually the eldest daughter of the Jenkins family!”

“Yeah, you must be super rich!”

Everleigh knew that it would happen. She said helplessly, “Now that you’ve all found out, will we still be friends?”

“Of course, Dr. Trevino. We might need your help some day.”

“That’s right, Dr. Trevino. Let me be your servant. Is there anything I can do for you?”

She was really helpless. If they all hadn’t shared a good relationship and knew each other’s personalities, she would have considered quitting the job.

The nurses were just joking about it. In fact, they all knew that Everleigh was a kind and approachable person. She wasn’t the type of person who cared about power.

They were just too surprised, so they couldn’t help but make jokes about it.

“I think you all better get back to work right now. If Mr. Lawson comes and sees this, your careers will be over.”

The nurses then looked at each other and rushed back to do their own things.

Everleigh shook her head. As soon as she turned around, she saw Stainley standing not far away.

He looked smart and elegant as usual.

“Everleigh.”

“Stainley, didn’t you go for the exchange program?” She remembered that he went for a conference a few days ago. She didn’t expect him to be back in such a short time.

“Oh, I returned last night. Mr. Lawson wants me to come and call you for a meeting.”
