Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh saw him looking a little angry, but she felt warm in her heart.

She knew that he was concerned about her.

On the other hand, she believed that Theodore would be happy as well after hearing the news.

At least everyone finally accepted him.

The night passed quickly and the sun gradually rose and shone on the earth. Everleigh sat on the bed and stretched. It was a brand new day. It also reminded her that it was time for work.

In the living room, Alastair and Adrienne had gotten up early. Saniogo and Alexander kept placing food on their plates, as if they were afraid that the kids would get too hungry.

“Adrienne, you can always call me to tell me what you like to eat, okay?”

“Okay,” she replied with her mouth full.

Her big eyes looked clever, which made people adore her very much.

When Saniogo saw that, he was reluctant to part with them.

He gave an upset sigh. “If only you could stay a few more days,” he said sadly. Everything about the manor was good, but it was nothing more than an empty space.

Back in those days, the four brothers would fill the house with their laughter everywhere.

As they grew older, their thinking changed a lot. They were brothers, but they had to fight against each other for money.

The past could only be remembered as a memory.

After all, his child had grown up. He wanted to have a grandson, but the brat refused to get married.

He had argued with him several times over this matter.

It was just a waste of his time. As his son got older, he could no longer interfere in his personal life.

“Uncle, if you miss the kids, just call me and I’ll have them stay here with you,” Everleigh told him when she saw Saniogo’s love for her children.

The manor had been vacant for too long.

At least the children knew how to liven up the atmosphere.

“Alright, alright. It’s good as long as you agree,” Saniogo repeated.

Speaking of this, he turned towards Alexander, who was standing next to him. “Look at you. Your cousin already has two children, but you don’t even have a girlfriend. When can I have a grandson?”

Alexander didn’t know what to say about this sudden change of attitude.

It wasn’t entirely his fault.

Everleigh’s situation was different from his.

“Dad, don’t count me in when you’re talking about them.”

“I feel anxious for you. Look at Linggon, he already has a girlfriend. What about you? You’re just a bachelor, nothing more,” Saniogo said, looking slightly annoyed.

Everleigh, Adrienne, and Alastair burst out laughing.

They laughed because of the quarrel between the father and son which made them look like they had a loving relationship.

“Grand-Uncle, Uncle Alexander’s lover may arrive late, but she won’t be absent,” Adrienne said with a smile.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

When Saniogo heard her calling him with her soft and lovely voice, he smiled. She was really adorable.

“I believe your words.”

Alexander didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. The words he said were nothing compared to what this child had said.

Everleigh took them to school after breakfast. Saniogo deliberately packed all the food for them, afraid that the two children would not take them with them.

Adrienne and Alastair stuck their heads out and said to him, “Grand-Uncle, we will come to see you on the weekend.”

“Alright, I will prepare delicious food for you.” He was filled with anticipation when he heard that.

He wanted the weekend to arrive as soon as possible.

Everleigh started the car and left the old manor of the Jenkins family.

Adrienne looked at all the delicious food packed in the trunk and felt very content in her heart. She could indulge in them when she got home.

Seeing her like that, everyone knew what she was up to.

After arriving at the hospital, Everleigh saw that there were many medical staff members at the entrance. She was surprised and immediately thought of something.

She quickly took out her phone to look at the date and time.

How could she forget that that day was the day Christopher would return?

Everleigh quickly got out of the car and stood in the crowd.

Maxwell and the others all stood in a line and waited.

Looking at her being flustered, Maxwell could guess what she was thinking.

“Thankfully you made it here in time. If Christopher didn’t see you out here to greet him, he would have been angry.”

She stood beside him and sighed weakly, “You are right. What matters is that I made it here.”

“Hmph! How very bold you are.” He pretended to snort coldly as the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.

She knew he was joking so she didn’t care.

Soon, a bus came from the left side, on which the logo of the hospital was clearly printed.

The medical staff members took a step forward, waiting to welcome them with flowers.

The bus stopped at the entrance. When the door opened, Christopher appeared. “Dear all, I, Christopher Meyer, am back.”

There was a hint of savagery in his voice that he made him seem like a bully.

But for the others, it was very funny.

The other medical team members also got out of the bus.

Christopher was touched to see a big group of people there to welcome them.

“Everleigh, where are your flowers?” Although he was having trouble holding all the flowers in his arms, he couldn’t help but ask.

She smiled awkwardly. She had almost forgotten the day he came back. How could she remember to buy flowers for him?

“I didn’t buy any.”

“Hmph, you’re so stingy,” he said unhappily. Everyone bought flowers except for her. It was true that he could not count on this woman to be romantic.

Maxwell smiled and said, “You little brat, stop fooling around. She barely has enough time to cope with her own business. How would she have the time to think about yours?”

Indirectly, he was trying to tell him that Everleigh was having a tough time recently.

Christopher knew that she had a lot of things to do, so he just simply complained a little. He didn’t mean anything else.

Everyone got out of the bus and greeted the familiar people around them. Maxwell looked around. Seeing that they were almost done, he stood at the stairs, raised his voice, and said, “Everyone, calm down. Since you’re all back, Mr. Lawson wanted me to inform everyone to gather at the conference hall now. Of course, it’s not about animadversion, but it is a commendation ceremony. You’ve worked hard during this period of time.”

Hearing this, Christopher’s lips curled up and he whispered to Everleigh, “I really don’t want to see Mr. Lawson’s face. Good things never happen to me, but things like this, they always seem to find me easily.”

“You always say something useless at meetings. You’d better behave yourself today or I’ll have you attend the trip again next time,” Everleigh teased.

He said disdainfully, “Since I won’t be polite, I guess it’s better for me to talk less nonsense. Otherwise, I’ll just go to the countryside and be a step closer to nature.”

She raised her eyebrows slightly. He still had conscience; what a rare sight.

In the conference room, Benedict gave his long speech as usual, but this time, the difference was that he praised the medical team.

At the same time, Christopher was promoted. Like Everleigh, he was also a Chief Surgeon now.

“Dr. Meyer, don’t you have anything to say?” Benedict smiled and glanced at him.

Christopher stood up and said with confidence, “I’m sure I have the ability to cope with my job. Just don’t send me to the countryside in the future. It’s too simple for me.”

Everleigh wanted to cover her face with her hands. She was too ashamed to look at him.

After hearing what he said, Benedict said straightforwardly, “You must go the next time.”
