Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Theodore patted Adrienne’s head. “I’m here to…”

“Come inside and have a seat, they’re not at home,” Everleigh interrupted.

His heart was filled with joy. “Sure.”

The four of them then walked in. Hilda was rather surprised when she saw Theodore, but she didn’t say anything.

She poured him a cup of tea.

“Daddy, this is for you. Grandpa bought it for me, but you can have it.”

Theodore caressed Adrienne’s head. He knew that she was a good child.

“I’ll buy you more delicious food the next time we meet.”

“Great! I want ice cream, and I want a big one. Oh, and a chocolate cake too!” She listed out the food that she was craving for.

Alastair turned his head away as he couldn’t bear to look at her greedy face.

He was tired of her wanting to eat so much food every single time.

Everleigh who was sitting on the sofa couldn’t help but joke, “You’re eating so much, aren’t you afraid of getting fat? By then, people might not like you anymore.”

“If someone as fat as you has your own admirer, then people will definitely like me,” Adrienne retorted confidently.

Everleigh’s face became murderous. “Adrienne Trevino.”

Theodore chuckled. He realized that the girl had quite a sharp tongue.

“Adrienne, you can’t say that to your Mommy. Isn’t she the most beautiful woman in the world?” He asked softly.

Adrienne frowned. “Mommy is beautiful, but only when she’s not angry.”

Theodore laughed out loud. He glanced at Everleigh’s angry face, but couldn’t do anything about it.

“If you’re obedient and well-behaved, Mommy wouldn’t be angry.”

Adrienne lowered her head and pondered for a moment. “Daddy, you’re on Mommy’s side too, so I don’t want to talk to you.”

Everleigh and Alastair felt even more helpless when they saw Adrienne losing her temper.

Then, she took her snacks with her and sat alone in a corner, eating it in big mouthfuls.

“You’d better cheer her up now, or else she’ll really ignore you for a few days,” Everleigh reminded Theodore.

He raised his eyebrows and said aloud, “I ordered a chocolate cake and some imported fruits when I was on my way here. Of course, I bought some imported ice cream as well. I originally planned to give them to Adrienne, but now that she’s angry with me, I guess I’ll…”

Adrienne walked over hurriedly and said, “Daddy, what are you talking about? I’m your daughter, so how can I be angry with you? By the way, when will the food arrive?”

Seeing her sudden mood change, Theodore was lost for words. He had no choice but to call Moses and ask him to send them the food.

Adrienne looked at the boxes of different sizes; there were about eight of them. The grin on her face didn’t disappear for a long time.

Everleigh shook her head in disapproval. Theodore was literally spoiling Adrienne with all his money.

Time passed quickly, and it was time for Theodore to go back. While Adrienne sent him away, she thought if he could visit more often, she would be able to enjoy more delicious food.

A few days had passed, but there weren’t any new updates on Theodore’s investigation.

After thinking for a while, he gave Christopher a call and asked him about his investigation.

“Same as yours. I still feel that this matter has something to do with Saniogo.”

“Christopher, have you ever suspected Missha?”

“Are you nuts? You have seen how well she treats Everleigh. Why are you suspecting her all of a sudden?” Christopher questioned him rudely.

However, Theodore thought otherwise. Missha loved all the children in the Jenkins family, but her love for Everleigh was a little too much.

Especially the gemstone that she previously gifted her; it was worth a fortune and she gave it to her just like that. It would be much more reasonable if it was gifted to Cynthia. After all, they had spent more time together for many years.

“Christopher, you can’t judge a book by its cover.”

“Have you even seen Missha’s true nature? If Everleigh finds out about it, are you sure she’ll be happy with you? Theodore, your suspicions have to be supported with facts. You can’t just follow your instincts. When you decided to hurt Everleigh back then, were you following your instincts too?”

His irrefutable words left Theodore speechless. He couldn’t argue back.

Christopher didn’t want to waste any more time talking to him, so he hung up the phone.

Theodore wasn’t angry either. Perhaps Christopher was right; his opinion of Missha might’ve been a little too biased.

It seemed that the only thing he could do was tell Everleigh the truth.

In the hospital, Everleigh was returning to her office after checking the wards when Christopher walked over and entered after some hesitation.

“Everleigh.”

“What do you want to have for lunch? I’ll order some food later,” she asked without looking at him.

He sighed softly. He decided to eat lunch before bringing up the issue. Otherwise, she would lose her appetite.

“Let’s have barbeque for lunch.”

Her eyes widened. “What? Barbeque at noon?”

“Yeah, I don’t have time tonight, and I really want to have some meat. Let’s go.”

The two of them then arrived at a barbeque shop and ordered some wings and lamb chops.

Everleigh hadn’t had a barbeque for a long time, so she had a large appetite and ate quite a lot of meat.

“How’s the food?” Christopher asked.

“It’s amazing!”

“That’s good. Let me show you something. I’m sure it’ll make you lose your appetite,” he said as he handed her a document.

As expected, after she read it, the expression on her face changed instantly.

“Has this been confirmed?”

“Both Theodore and I got the same results, but it’s ultimately your matter, so we didn’t intervene in it.”

To his surprise, Everleigh was incredibly calm after reading it. She had slowly accepted the fact over the past few days.

She knew what to do as well.

“I know. Let’s continue eating.” She picked up a chicken wing and devoured it. She wasn’t bothered by the matter. Instead, she continued enjoying the food.

Christopher was a little startled. There was definitely something wrong with her reaction.

Wasn’t she supposed to be very angry or very upset?

Why was she so relaxed and unbothered? He was puzzled.

“I’ve finished my food.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“If you’re done, just go back to the hospital. If Mr. Lawson asks about me, just tell him that I’m doing my research,” she responded.

“Where are you going?” He had more or less guessed her plans.

She waved the document in her hand. “I’m going to meet him and listen to what he has to say about this.”

He heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. It would be great if she had decided to talk to Saniogo in person.

Everleigh arrived at the Jenkins Group and knew that Saniogo was in his office.

When she went in, he was very surprised to see her. Missha had told him that Everleigh visited her in Maniville, and had returned a while ago. After calling her several times and knowing that she was busy, he decided not to bother her for a few days.

He didn’t expect her to visit him at the office that day.

“Everleigh, what brings you here today?”

“I’m here to visit you, Uncle Saniogo. I have something to show you,” she answered in her usual tone, and passed the document directly to him.

He received it and read it in confusion.

After finding out that the file was about his past information, Saniogo’s face stiffened and his gaze darkened. “Everleigh, are you here to confront me today?”

“It’s not really a confrontation. Uncle Saniogo, I just want to ask, is there anything you would like to say about this? You didn’t tell me that Elvir has been hiding the truth from me. Are you afraid I would find out that you have been to the airplane maintenance area right before the incident happened?” Her voice was deep, but she didn’t sound cold.

She was just eager to hear his explanation.

“I’ve never asked Elvir to hide anything from you. Yes, I was indeed at the airport that day, but I didn’t even see the plane. I was there to make a payment at the front desk,” he answered in a low voice. He was telling the truth.

She looked at him and didn’t speak. She finally understood why everything had become like that.

No wonder she couldn’t find a single clue after so many years.
