Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Adrienne and Alastair carried the poodle to their room to play.

Everleigh and Theodore ordered the servants to send the food to their rooms, while the two of them ate in the dining room.

After dinner, Everleigh took a bubble bath. She had to admit that she really enjoyed a good bubble bath.

Just then, Theodore entered the bathroom, and she reflexively covered her body. “What are you doing?”

“I’ll scrub your back and give you a massage,” he said as he walked over, throwing gender awareness out the window.

Her face turned red, and her eyes blurred a little under the mist.

“Relax.” He didn’t have any other intentions. He simply wanted to give her a massage.

She was embarrassed. Although they had done more intimate things, this was… a first-time encounter for her.

“Done. You continue with your bath. I’ll light a scented candle so that you can sleep more comfortably.”

She nodded.

She was really sleepy.

She had had hard times these past few days, and her legs were still hurting.

When she came out of the bathroom, she smelled the scent, which was very comfortable.

“What’s that smell?”

“I asked Leon to get it. I have to say, he has good tastes for things like this.” Theodore was not as good as his cousin in this aspect.

Hence, it was perfectly normal to ask him for help.

That night, Everleigh indeed felt that her fatigue had been relieved, and she slept very comfortably.

When she opened her eyes, she was full of energy.

“Let’s go. I’ll send you to work.”

“Okay.”

The four of them sat in the car. Alastair and Adrienne were sitting in the back and they insisted on bringing along the poodle. The poodle was also very clingy to them. If the school had permitted it, they would have brought it in.

Everleigh enjoyed the laughter of her two children sitting behind her. She looked at her man sitting beside her, and realized that sometimes, happiness could be so simple.

It was also what she desired the most.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Theodore went to visit Xavier. He heard that his brother’s condition remained the same, and there was no sign of him regaining consciousness.

Theodore sat next to him, and forced a smile. “Xavier, do you know that Wilson is embroiled in a lawsuit with someone from the Meyer family? Heck, the fight is intense. Everyone has their eyes on the Godfrey family. I know that you don’t have a good impression of Godfrey Group, but it involves your hard work, doesn’t it?”

He asked in a low voice as he stared at Xavier’s eyes which were shut tight.

There was no sign that he would open them anytime soon.

He sighed. “There’s no point in telling you all of this. There’s one thing that you might not know. It’s that the perpetrator who caused your injuries has yet to be found. The chances of finding him are low. Xavier, didn’t you always say that you were going to seek revenge for the smallest of grievances? Why are you lying in bed now?”

After his conversation with Xavier, Theodore stood up and left.

He didn’t want to get up, but he did not have a choice.

If Xavier wanted to, he should have woken up earlier and seen the situation for himself.

After finishing her work, Everleigh received a phone call from Christopher. He asked, “Everleigh, what are you doing?”

“You left your position. Therefore, your work would be passed to me. What do you think I could be doing now?”

He smiled, feeling awkward. “Everleigh, don’t say such words. I’m rushing to get things done now, amn’t I? If Lenold comes back earlier, Felicia will be back as well. Why should I overwork myself? Don’t you think so? If you want to blame someone, blame it on Lenold. I don’t even have time to flirt with girls now.”

He felt very aggrieved when he talked about this. He hadn’t managed to win Erine’s heart.

Upon hearing what he said, Everleigh hung up the phone immediately. He constantly brought up the topic regarding Erine, leaving her clueless about what to say.

As soon as she hung up the phone, Alexander called her.

She knew that there was some progress, so she quickly answered, “Hey, Alexander.”

“I’ve found her. She’s in Maniville. Please inform Cecil.”

“Okay, I’ll call her now.” Hearing this, she was happy and quickly called Cecil.

When Cecil learned that Diana was in Maniville, she headed straight there.

Thaud was worried that something would happen to her. “You go first. I’ll be there after I settle the tasks at hand.”

“Don’t worry. Even if I’m there, I may not be able to find her,” Cecil said with a gloomy face, and the anger in her eyes could not be covered up.

Thaud knew that she was a straightforward person and couldn’t hide anything.

Letting out a sigh, he just let her do as she pleased.

Cecil went to Maniville alone and reached the location that Alexander had sent. She observed the villa in front of her and remembered that Diana had mentioned that her friend had bought a house here and needed her to help with the renovations.

It turned out that that was her own house.

“Diana, you are despicable,” Cecil said angrily. When she was about to rush in, she realized something.

Hesitating for a moment, she hid to one side. She believed that Diana would eventually walk out of the villa.

As the sky grew darker, Diana came back. When she got out of the car, Cecil stepped forward and kicked her to the ground.

It could be said that she had learned a few tricks from Lenold from all those years. The trick worked poorly on men, but it was too easy to deal with someone like Diana.

Diana was about to swear, but before she could open her mouth, she looked at Cecil with horror in his eyes.

“Cecil.”

She sneered, “Yup, I’m Cecil, alright. You, you don’t deserve the title of the Hayes family.”

Diana sneered, “The Hayes family is not a good family anyway…”

Before Diana could finish her words, Cecil slapped her and shouted angrily, “If we’re not a good family, we still raised you all the same. Who do you think you are? You ungrateful child. Did the Hayes family raise you so that you could humiliate us?”

Diana was in pain. She stared at her with her red eyes. She raised her hand and wanted to fight back, but she was slapped by Cecil several times before she could even touch her.

At that moment, Cecil truly wanted to beat her to death.

Thinking of what things Diana had done, Cecil became more ruthless. She grabbed her hair and pulled her to the side of the lawn. “Let me go, you crazy person,” Diana shouted as she felt the pain.

Cecil didn’t care about her pain. She yanked Diana’s head and hit her against the tree.

Diana felt dizzy as the blood on her forehead seeped out.

“You… Cecil, you b*tch, let go of me.”

Cecil continued to hit her, ignoring what she had said. In the night, the sound of the slaps became louder and louder. It was so painful that Diana cried out. Finally, she couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “Cecil, don’t you want to know where Lenold is?”

Cecil’s hand was up in the air, ready to land another slap. However, she paused upon hearing her question. She looked surprised and asked, “Did you capture them?”

Diana covered her head and grimaced in pain. Her face was covered with blood. “Yeah, bad luck for them. Felicia did manage to find Lenold. After a few steps, they bumped into me, so I took them away. It’s unfortunate that Lenold is a fool. He thought that I would save him. Talk about stupidity!”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
