Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Abraham had experienced the fickleness of life. He believed that one should never take things too lightly, otherwise, things would just worsen.

It would be really hard to explain everything by then.

Everleigh was silent for a long moment. She wanted to say something, but just couldn’t.

She understood it, but she didn’t want to dig herself into a deeper hole.

The more she explained, the more people would think that she was guilty.

As a result, like what her father had said, everyone thought that she was the one at fault.

He also talked about how chaotic life was living in a wealthy, influential family.

Abraham’s phone didn’t stop ringing. It was all from the Trevino family’s relatives who had called to ask him about the matter.

“Is the news true?”

“Are you all blind? Can’t you see that someone is trying to defame her?” Abraham chided.

Those relatives seemed like they were concerned and worried about Everleigh, but the truth was, they just wanted to know if the incident would affect their future.

In the end, he decided to ignore all the phone calls.

Seeing that, Alastair tried to help as well. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the influence and couldn’t do anything about it, so had no choice but to give Theodore a call.

“Alastair.”

“What are your views on the matter on the Internet?” Alastair’s deep voice couldn’t cover up his child-like tone.

Theodore smirked, “What are your plans?”

“You haven’t explained it yet, so I believe that you have an idea in mind. Tell me, and we’ll see if it is appropriate.” Alastair’s mature look didn’t match his cute, young face.

He had to admit that Theodore was a capable man. If not, he wouldn’t have noticed that Everleigh was being bullied.

“I do have a plan, but your mother might not necessarily agree with it.”

“Are you planning to reveal our true identities?” Alastair asked sternly.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

It wasn’t that he had never thought about it; it was just that he had never talked about it. He wanted to reveal it, but he felt that if he really did so, things would become extremely complicated.

What’s more, the most important thing was that it would bring shame to the Meyer family. Everleigh and Christopher’s marriage was announced to the public back then, but now, they wanted to reveal that she was actually involved with another man. Wouldn’t it be more troublesome if word got out?

Theodore’s expression was solemn. He shared the same thought too.

What about the Meyer family?

The Meyer family was also one of the Four Greatest Households. If the public was to find out about it, the situation would definitely worsen.

That was the reason why Theodore didn’t take any action yet.

If he wanted to announce it to the public, he would have to talk about it with the Meyer family first.

Suddenly, the father-and-son duo fell silent.

In the evening, Theodore went to the hospital. When he saw that Christopher and Everleigh were both in Abraham’s ward, he felt disheartened.

“Everleigh.”

“Why did you come over?” She was rather surprised to see him. He just said that he was busy earlier that day.

Christopher crossed his arms and looked at him with a funny look.

“What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing at you. When are you going to take action? How can you stay out of this matter when Everleigh is already in such big trouble?” Christopher questioned straightforwardly. He initially wanted to ask them about a solution.

Now that Theodore was there, it saved him a lot of hassle.

He might as well make everything clear there.

“Have you come up with a solution?”

“Yes, but it’s not good news for the Meyer family,” Theodore finally answered after a long moment of silence.

Christopher’s face stiffened. “Wait, are you going to announce Everleigh’s true identity?”

“I’m planning to do so, but I have to announce it before you do.” Theodore had to announce it before the Meyer family did, or else her reputation would be even worse.

She might even get kicked out of the Meyer family.

Hearing that, Christopher’s eyes widened as he said furiously, “Theodore, that’s very selfish of you. If you do it, wouldn’t my family’s reputation be affected?”

Everleigh and Abraham looked at each other, as they didn’t understand what the two men were talking about.

Theodore’s brows knitted as he looked at Christopher. “If you announce it before I do, what do you think will happen to Everleigh’s reputation then?”

Christopher was lost for words.

It was true. If he was to reveal it first, she would definitely be kicked out of the Meyer family because she was an unfaithful wife.

However, what would happen to the Meyer family’s image if Theodore were to say it first?

He was in a dilemma. He didn’t know what to do.

“What are you two talking about?” Everleigh asked in confusion.

She didn’t understand what they were arguing about.

What was the difference between one revealing it before the other?

Theodore then took a deep breath and explained everything to her.

When she finally understood the whole situation, she felt a hint of sadness welling up in her chest. She had gotten married to Christopher back then for their own respective reasons, but now, it had become her biggest embarrassment.

Abraham kept quiet as well.

It would be difficult for anyone who had to deal with it.

In the end, Christopher compromised.

“You want to say it first, right?”

The three of them looked at him. They thought that he should discuss the matter with his family beforehand.

“I’m a member of the Meyer family after all, so those people would have to think twice before they gossip about me.” Christopher figured out that having a higher status was also an advantage.

He could take the current situation as an example. If people were to talk behind his back, they would have to think about whether or not they could afford to do so.

“Christopher, actually, I don’t mind…” Everleigh wanted to speak.

“You don’t have to. We got together because the Meyer family forced us to, so this is actually a good thing for us. You’ll have to get married sooner or later, and the public will find out the truth one day,” he said with a hint of relief.

It seemed that he had already expected such a situation.

She felt even more sorry for him.

Although they did it for their own benefits, they should’ve disclosed the issue with a win-win deal, instead of ending up in such a scenario.

“Christopher, I’m sorry,” she said faintly.

“Theodore should be the one saying sorry. After all, everything was caused by him.” Christopher looked at him, and he didn’t try to hide the rage in his eyes.

Theodore stood straight at the door.

He stared back at him.

A few seconds later, Theodore finally opened his mouth. “I’m sorry.”

The three other people in the room were stunned.

They all thought that he was proud and arrogant, so they didn’t expect him to actually apologize.

However, they heard him say it clearly a moment ago.

“Theodore…” Everleigh murmured.

Theodore said with a serious face, “Everleigh suffered a lot because of me, and I know that the both of you were forced to get married. I don’t blame you; I blame myself. I owe you an apology. I must bear the responsibilities and consequences of my actions.”

Hearing what he had just said, Christopher suddenly thought that he was being a little narrow-minded himself.

“Since you’ve said so, then let’s just do it as you’ve suggested, the sooner the better, before the issue gets out of hand.” Abraham didn’t care about their thoughts; he was only concerned about how they would deal with Everleigh’s problem.

Theodore kept silent for a long moment. “I’ll arrange it right away.”

That night was destined not to be a peaceful night.

Everleigh laid on the bed. She had mixed feelings about it. Perhaps the incident would blow up once the truth was made public.

Knock-knock. Someone was knocking on the door. “Come in,” she called out.

“Mommy, let’s talk.”
