Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Hearing it, Everleigh didn’t have high hopes. Even if someone had a dispute with the old lady, she was already dead.

Plus, even if they really found the person, that person might not admit to it, to say nothing of the possibility that they could really find him or her.

“Don’t worry.”

“I know. Thank you, Felicia.”

“I’ll continue to follow up on it. Just let Theodore know what exactly has happened. He’ll know what to do next,” Felicia spoke in a deep voice before hanging up.

Everleigh turned her head over to Theodore, who looked troubled.

He must have already received the news about the old woman’s death too.

“Theodore.”

“It’s okay, there won’t be a problem.” He raised his head. Although he was comforting her, his own eyes were filled with anxiety.

Seeing his reaction, Everleigh teared up instantly. He was still caring about her feelings even though he was worried as well. She felt that he was indeed a warm-hearted gentleman.

“Alright, I’ll go back first. You don’t have to worry too much/ There will definitely be a solution to it. Also… You’re not cold at all. You’re a warm man.” After saying that, she left directly.

Although he didn’t really know what she meant by it, he could tell from her attitude that she was praising him.

Moses was standing at a side, waiting for his order. “Mr. Godfrey…”

“Go and find out every single person who has been in contact with that woman. Find them, and bring more men with you in case anything happens.” Theodore believed that whoever was related to that lady wouldn’t be safe either.

The more chaotic things became, the more favorable it would be for Wilson. Two people had already died. Although their causes of death were still unknown, it didn’t mean that it had nothing to do with him.

On her way back, Everleigh was thinking about everything that had happened in the past few days.

Whenever Theodore made a move, someone else would take action in advance. It seemed like he was being closely monitored by someone, and that person clearly understood his plans. She was stunned when she thought about it. She stopped moving and looked around.

She had a feeling that someone was following her.

She stood on the side of the street and was lost in her own thoughts. Suddenly, her phone rang, and it took her a couple of seconds to get back to her senses.

“Hello?”

“Everleigh, where are you right now? Are you free to come back?” Alexander’s voice sounded.

“Sure, I’ll be there in a short while. I’m currently on leave.”

“Great! I’ll prepare your favorite food.” He sounded even more excited after he heard that she was free.

He was looking forward to seeing her.

She promised to bring her children over when she met Saniogo the previous time. However, the two kids had to go to school that day, so they weren’t able to go with her.

She took a taxi to the Jenkins family’s home. When she arrived, Saniogo was ordering the servants to clean up the rooms.

“Is the food ready yet?”

“Yes, Master.”

“Hurry up then. Everleigh will be here soon.” Saniogo’s voice was filled with joy and happiness.

“Uncle!” Everleigh came in from the door and greeted.

She could feel that she was very welcomed in the house.

“Oh Everleigh, you’re here! Hurry up and sit down.” He pointed at the sofa and shouted towards the door, “Bring me the tea and coffee.”

She sat down on the sofa. The fragrance of the tea filled the entire room, “Uncle, since when did you like drinking tea?”

“I specially prepared this for you. Alexander told me that you usually drink tea with that girl from the Hayes family, so I got one of the servants to learn how to brew it properly. The tea outside is not as healthy; homemade ones are way better,” he said with a smile.

He did all that just for Everleigh to visit him more often.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

She smiled and felt a warmth in her heart. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip of it. It tasted smooth and fragrant.

“It’s really nice. It seems like I have to come here more often just for this tea,” she joked.

Saniogo smiled and said nothing. His expression was no longer as cold as it used to be, and his eyes were only filled with the love for the young ones.

“So, is there any update on Theodore’s problem?” He took a sip of his coffee. He changed the topic so drastically, making Everleigh feel a little unaccustomed.

She sat up straight and replied, “The old lady who was making a scene this morning has died. I heard that it’s due to a heart attack.”

“Oh, that’s really bad. Now that she’s dead, the public will definitely link her death to Theodore.” He could predict the public’s reaction.

She turned her head, and her expression changed slightly. “Uncle, this matter is a little difficult to deal with.”

“Well, it’s not that there’s nothing we can do about it. Tell me the whole story,” he said seriously.

She then told him everything that had happened without hesitation.

She also stated the person who was behind the incident.

“Wow, Wilson is indeed ruthless. Doesn’t he care about his relationship with his son at all?” Saniogo sneered. Both of them were fathers, but their mindsets were completely different.

“If he had cared about it, I wouldn’t have been tortured eight years ago.” Everleigh gave a bitter smile, feeling rather downhearted.

“The thing you have to do right now is to find the person who had a dispute with that old woman. It would be best if you can find someone from the Hayes family to help.”

She was stunned. “The Hayes family? What does this have to do with them?”

“The Hayes family owns a plethora of high-tech equipment, especially Lenold. It’s a piece of cake for him to investigate this matter,” he said while he drank his coffee.

She understood what he meant. After all, Lenold was in the army, so carrying out investigations was his specialty.

However…

“I have to admit that the Hayes are experts in this field, but it’s a pity that the members of the Jenkins family are only good at doing business. We don’t have a clue about advanced technology,” Saniogo continued in a pitiful tone.

Everleigh chuckled without saying a word.

At that moment, Alexander came back home with bags of snacks in his hands. “When did you arrive?” He asked.

“I just arrived. What’s all this?” She looked at the stuff in his hands.

Alexander took the snacks out of the bags; they were all desserts and cakes bought from the most famous dessert shop in Ocpeace City.

“I know you like these, so I went to buy them for you.”

Looking at all the desserts and tea on the table, she was really delighted.

“Alexander used to tell me that you like desserts. Since you weren’t able to grow up in the Jenkins family, I’m going to make it up to you now. If you’re craving for these in the future, just feel free to come by. I’ll prepare it for you.” Saniogo handed the desserts over to her.

Everleigh wasn’t shy at all. She started eating immediately. Those desserts were their act of care for her, so it didn’t matter if she really finished everything.

During dinner, she ate a lot of food as well, and she felt that her stomach was about to burst open.

“You don’t have to worry about Theodore’s problem, just do what I said. Plus, you’re pretty close to that girl from the Hayes family.” Saniogo had met Cecil at the banquet last time, and had a good impression of her. Alexander had mentioned her a couple of times too.

“Yes, Cecil and I are best friends. She took good care of me when we were abroad.” Speaking of Cecil, Everleigh was very grateful for her.

Alexander agreed with her. Cecil was a loyal and trustworthy friend. Whenever Everleigh was in trouble, she would be the first one to stand up for her.

Saniogo nodded and didn’t say anything else.

After dinner, Alexander sent her back home. He even brought along some desserts for her two children.

“Theodore must know someone in the government, right?”

“Yes, but he probably won’t look for them.”

Back then, he wanted to join the government too, but unfortunately, he was tricked by Wilson and was forced to do business.

When Alexander heard her words, he didn’t ask anything else. Both of them remained silent along the way. When they were about to arrive at her home, he asked, “When will you bring the two kids over to the Jenkins family?”
