Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh didn’t know when she had this feeling that both she and Yvonne had nothing to say to each other.

Yvonne glanced at her watch and said with a smile, “I have to go. It’s time to pick up Hansen from school.”

“Isn’t there a driver to pick him up?”

Yvonne shook her head. “Since I filed for a divorce with Wilson, I moved out. I bought an apartment. Although it is not big, the three of us are still able to live comfortably.”

Everleigh was shocked for a moment but soon realized that what she said was true.

It was better to live the life she wanted.

Yvonne bought two cups of milk tea for Hansen and Loraine before she left.

Everleigh also had three cups of milk tea, which was Yvonne’s treat.

“Yvonne, it’s too kind of you to do that.”

“There’s nothing to be shy about. In fact, I like Alastair and Adrienne very much too. The three children are on good terms so it’s just a little treat from me. If you have time, bring them to my new house to have fun,” Yvonne said.

Everleigh nodded and replied, “Okay, I’ll come and visit you when I have time.”

She believed that if Wilson wasn’t there, she would feel much more comfortable.

After they parted, Everleigh went back to the hospital. Christopher was eating lunch brought by the nurses, but it was really boring for him to eat alone.

When he saw her come back, he smiled immediately and said, “You’re finally back. Come and eat something.”

She looked at the fruits and lunchboxes on the table and understood what was going on.

“You’ve already attracted so many girls when you just came back?”

“There is nothing I can do. My face is just too charming.” After Christopher said that, he thought that he was cool and shook his hair.

There was a dazed look in his narrow eyes.

He seemed to be a man with a story.

Everleigh didn’t care about it. She handed him the cup of milk tea she had brought and said, “Have a try. It tastes good.”

He immediately helped himself. He took a sip and handed her some food. “Have a bite. If you like it, take it back for the two kids.”

“Well, I’ll take it with me even if you didn’t tell me to.”

He looked at her taking him for granted but he was already used to it.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his eyes dimmed a little.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Stainley came after you left. He’s going to the academic exchange programme abroad. I’m afraid to say that he’ll be away for a few months.”

Hearing this, she lowered her head and said in a low voice, “What did you tell him?”

“Of course I didn’t want you to be awkward. I just told him that it’s better for you two not to meet each other. Did the both of you really talk things through?”

She looked up into his gossipy eyes. Sometimes, she had to admit that his eyes were really special that he could see right through the problem between them.

“Is it still important now?”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s clear that Stainley hasn’t given up on you. Everleigh, sometimes, I really admire you. You can make a man fall head over heels for you.” Christopher clearly showed that he was watching the fun and didn’t mind if it was a big deal.

She threw away the fork in her hand and said, “Are you done yet? Don’t you know that I’m very annoyed now?”

“I know, didn’t I make things even more difficult for you? But Everleigh, there’s something more troublesome which you have to deal with now.”

“What is it?”

“When will you meet that private detective?” He asked solemnly. He felt that it would be better to settle this matter as soon as possible. Although it had already been so many years, there was still a way to solve the problem.

Speaking of this, her face darkened. “I’ll call him tonight.”

She had called that afternoon, but the detective did not answer the phone. Because of Yvonne, she stopped calling him.

She wanted to resume calling him in the evening.

Christopher nodded and said, “Just tell me when you get any news. It’ll be easier for us to prepare for it.”

“Alright.”

The night came very soon. Everleigh and Christopher walked out of the hospital. The autumn breeze was strong and the wind was a lot cooler. He could not help but shrink his neck. “It’s so cold,” he said.

“Why do you wear so little clothing?” She looked at him, who was only wearing a thin t-shirt. It was already late autumn. The temperature difference between day and night was huge.

She was even wearing two layers of clothing.

She didn’t have a strong physique, so she didn’t dare to expose too much of it.

“Now that you know that I’m scantily dressed, hurry up. I’ll drive you home.”

She didn’t refuse. She was sent by her driver that morning, so she didn’t have her car with her.

Returning to the Trevino family, Everleigh brought back some delicious food, especially the two cups of milk tea that were given to Alastair and Adrienne.

“Mommy, aren’t you going to drink?” Adrienne asked after taking a sip. She still remembered that her mother liked to drink milk tea too.

“I’ve already had it, you guys can continue drinking. I’m going upstairs to take care of some things. Don’t come and disturb me, okay?”

Adrienne nodded and Alastair looked at her retreating figure as she went upstairs. He fell into a deep thought.

Everleigh returned to her room and made a phone call. The phone rang a few times but still no one answered. Just as she was about to hang up, a hoarse voice came from the other end of the line. “Who is it?” The voice asked.

“Is this Mr. Elvir Carter?”

“Who are you?”

“Do you know Saniogo Jenkins? He asked me to find you.” As Everleigh said the name ‘Saniogo’, her heart beat fast.

She didn’t know whether this person would tell the truth or not.

After a long while, he uttered a soft ‘hmm’ on the phone.

She didn’t know what to answer for a moment. What did this cold attitude mean?

Did he think she was a bad person?

“I know you’re investigating Welment’s cause of death. I’m not a stranger, I’m Welment’s daughter. I believe you’ve also seen the news, haven’t you?”

“So what do you want to say?”

“Saniogo had already given me all the information. I want to personally investigate the true cause of my parents’ death. Mr. Carter, let’s meet.”

He was silent again. She did not urge him but waited for his reply.

“Well, come see me tomorrow, I’ll send you the address later,” Elvir sighed lightly, as if he had put down his guard against her.

She breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that he would refuse to see her.

After hanging up the phone, she received a message. It was the address that Elvir had sent her.

She forwarded the address to Christopher and called him. “Have you received the address? Come with me tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’ll tell the other doctors to change my shift,” he answered quickly.

She had to inform the hospital too since she was supposed to be on a full day shift the following day, but now she might have to change shifts.

After everything had been arranged, she received a call from Theodore when she came out of the bathroom after washing up.

“Why didn’t you come this afternoon?”

She originally wanted to go there, but she had forgotten about it when she met Yvonne. “I met Yvonne so I didn’t go.”

“Yvonne? Why was she looking for you?” His suspicious voice came from the phone. He had been inattentive to her recently.

“Nothing serious. It’s just that we haven’t seen each other for a long time. It seems that she and your father are going to get divorced,” she told him truthfully.
