Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Theodore walked down the stairs and saw Everleigh eating in the dining room. He even heard her laughter as she chatted happily with the servant.

The servant had just brought over a glass of juice when she saw him standing at the staircase. “Mr. Theodore.”

“Mm, give me a cup of coffee.” He sat beside Everleigh and said, “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“You’ve been driving the whole day yesterday. I wanted you to rest a little longer. Besides, I’m not leaving today. It’s rare for us to have a holiday so I want you to have a good rest.”

Upon hearing her words, his heart was filled with joy instantly. It would be great if she could stay here all the time.

After breakfast, the two of them sat quietly on the sofa, which was a rare scene for them. One was reading a medical book, while the other was reading a document.

No one was bothered by the other. It was unusually harmonious.

Near noon, the servant came over and asked, “Mr. Theodore, what do you want to have for lunch?”

“Make something that Everleigh likes. Any desserts will do too.”

“Okay, I’ll go to the grocery store.” The maid turned around and walked out.

Everleigh put down the book in her hand and said with a sigh, “This relaxed life isn’t so bad at all.”

“If you want to quit work, that’s okay. I can support you.”

She raised her finger and wagged it in front of him, saying, “The most unreliable words said by men are ‘I can support you.’ It’s never good to always ask people for something.”

A smile appeared in his gaze. “And yet you still want a relaxed life?”

“It’s okay to relax once in a while,” she retorted with a smile.

He hoped that she would be able to enjoy a work-free life at home. However, he knew very well that her dream was to become a doctor. He wouldn’t destroy her dream.

The day passed by just like that. It was rare for her to spend time with him. Hence, they got much closer.

However, they were unaware that Wilson was planning something else at this time. Since Xavier had already taken over a lot of the company’s shares, he was almost in a difficult position now. If he didn’t think of a solution, he would really be kicked out.

He thought about it for a while and finally came up with an idea.

He took out his phone and called the secretary, “Contact a few people from abroad secretly tomorrow. Tell them that I am going to sell the shares of Godfrey Group.”

The secretary was shocked by his words. “Mr. Godfrey, I don’t think this is appropriate. If we sell our shares, you will lose your advantage in Godfrey Group.”

“I know. Do as I say.”

The secretary wanted to say something, but she gave up at the thought of Wilson’s commands. She hung up the phone and made arrangements just as he said.

He stood in his study, looking out of the window with gloomy eyes. Under the light, his expression was dark.

This was his last resort.

Theodore received a call when he was about to go to bed with Everleigh.

When he looked at the caller ID, he was stunned. Then, he picked it up.

“Hello…”

…

“Alright, go ahead and buy it.”

…

“Okay. We’ll talk tomorrow.” He hung up the phone. She was sitting on the bed, listening to him as he spoke. She was a little confused but didn’t ask about it.

She couldn’t help with the company’s affairs, so she wouldn’t ask too much about them.

A few days later, Everleigh went to work. Christopher couldn’t help teasing her when he saw the refreshed look on her face. “It looks like Theodore’s love is truly the greatest nourishment.”

“Wrong, I’ve been nourished by my sleep,” she corrected him.

What did he mean by ‘being nourished by love’? It sounded so cheesy.

He rolled his eyes at her. “Are you telling me that you’ve only been talking to Theodore these past few days?”

“You can say that, mainly because I had a good rest to replenish my sleep. Can’t you see from my face that I am so refreshed?” She said as she patted her face, which looked moisturized and firm.

He nodded. He could tell that her face was smooth and supple, but he didn’t find the person he wanted to see.

“I’ve heard everything from Lincoln. What are you going to do now?”

“If you have any plans, just go for it, unless Derick doesn’t leave the house. If he doesn’t, there will be a big problem.” She finally understood. Since she couldn’t force things to go her way, she wouldn’t do that.

She didn’t believe that Derick would be able to stay inside for the rest of his life.

She could wait.

He was worried that she would be sad, but it was good for her to think this way.

“Lincoln is my good friend. You can rest assured that he can handle it.”

“I’m reassured because I trust your judgement.”

He snapped his fingers and said proudly, “You have taste indeed. Let’s have dinner together tonight. I’ll treat you to a barbecue.”

She raised her eyebrows and said, “Treat me to barbecue? It’s Erine who wants to eat that, right?”

He snorted and rebutted, “Are you going or not?”

“Yes, why not? By the way, I’d like to ask Erine what you said that makes her so willing to stay.”

She had been curious about this matter for a long time. If it wasn’t for that matter in Haviden City, she would surely ask about it before leaving.

Now that she had the time, she could ask about it slowly.

When she got off work, she sent a message to Theodore informing him that she, Christopher, and Erine were going out for dinner.

His message came quickly. He was working overtime at the company that day as there was something he had to deal with.

She didn’t take it to heart. She put down her phone and went out for dinner with Christopher.

Christopher was a gentleman. He ordered all the dishes that Everleigh and Erine loved.

Erine couldn’t help saying, “You ordered a little too much.”

“It doesn’t matter. We can take it home if we can’t finish them all.” He put on airs as if he was very generous. Everleigh asked Erine, “Can you tell me why you changed your mind?”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“The only explanation is that my father still doesn’t want me to give up on the marriage. I’d rather stay here to put an act with him than go back for a marriage that should not have belonged to me,” Erine replied seriously.

Everleigh was stunned when she heard this. She tilted her head and looked at Christopher’s helpless face. So, Erine wasn’t staying because of him.

Should he thank Erine’s father for the marriage he had arranged for her?

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be here now.

“I thought it was because of Christopher.”

“It won’t be him for the time being. Christopher treats me very well, but if there is a man who treats you badly, will you still be with him?” Erine retorted.

She didn’t care about Christopher at all when she said that.

Everleigh felt a little embarrassed. There was nothing wrong with what she said, but she shouldn’t say it in front of the person.

Wasn’t she afraid of hurting Christopher’s feelings?

However, what Everleigh didn’t expect was that he didn’t seem to care about it. She was a little shocked. Erine had already said it all. Shouldn’t he say something?

“Christopher…”

He knew what she wanted to say, but he couldn’t force Erine when it came to love. “I can’t do anything about it either. She doesn’t have feelings for me.”
