Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh instantly turned around.

Theodore's torso was naked as he came out of the bathroom. A towel was wrapped around his abdomen. Water was dripping from his hair, sliding down his body.

The chemistry in the air made Everleigh go blank.

"Are you done staring?"

Theodore stared at her and his gaze fell on her chest. He chuckled coldly, "I haven't seen you in years. I see you're able to take off your clothes after entering a man's room now. Did you learn that abroad?" Everleigh suddenly snapped back to her senses. She widened her eyes and cried in surprise. She placed her hands over her chest hurriedly.

Theodore could not be bothered to look at her. He averted his gaze and reached for his bathrobe.

Everleigh was embarrassed. "I didn't know it's your room."

"Do you know that it's my house?"

She was at a loss for words.

"How long are you going to stand there?"

She came back to her senses and grabbed the fresh laundry from the bed. She strode to the door and left in a rushed manner. "I'm sorry."

Everleigh's figure disappeared behind the door. Theodore exhaled slowly. His chest heaved as he tied his bathrobes.

Theodore sat down on the bed and took out his cigarette. He was about to light a cigarette when he heard a ringtone.

It was Everleigh's mobile phone. She had forgotten it in his room.

The caller ID popped up and it read 'Baby'. Theodore's eyes were icy and his finger brushed across the screen. He hesitated for a moment before answering the call.

A soft voice came from the other end of the call. "Mommy, when are you coming back today? I want to eat cupcakes! Alastair won't let me eat them."

Theodore did not speak.

"Sorry, I forgot my phone..."

Suddenly, Everleigh opened the door. She noticed that Theodore was holding her mobile phone. Immediately, her expression changed and she rushed to Theodore. She grabbed her mobile phone and hung up the call. Theodore's gaze was fixated on her. He asked word by word, "You're married?"

Everleigh retreated away from him and her calf hit the edge of the bed.

Theodore approached her and his eyes were like a dark abyss. He asked, "With who? Stainley?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Everleigh turned to leave.

She did not want Theodore to know about the twins.

"Was that why the Trevino family kicked you out? Am I right?"

Theodore grabbed her wrist and her mobile phone slipped from her hand. It landed on the back of her foot. The sharp pain made her stagger and she fell on the bed.

Theodore still had his hand on her wrist and fell together with her. His hands landed on her shoulders. The scent of shower gel filled the air and she could smell the faint scent of cigarettes. The tip of their noses bumped into each other. Immediately, it felt like the temperature in the room went up.

Everleigh regained herself and pushed Theodore away. She was tongue-tied as she muttered, "Wh-what are you doing?"

Theodore frowned and he tightened his grip on her shoulders. "Everleigh, do you think you can toy with men? Where did you even get that confidence of yours from?"

"I never think like that."

Theodore lowered his voice. There was a hint of resentment in his tone and his voice was hoarse.

Everleigh could no longer hide the astonishment in her eyes. Was that pain in Theodore's eyes? Was he suppressing something?

The water droplets from his hair fell on Everleigh's neck. They rolled down her collarbone and seeped into her skin. The cold droplets made her shiver and she came to her senses. "Theodore, you're getting married."

The word 'married' made him regain himself. Simultaneously, the pain vanished from his eyes and his eyes became clear. He gripped Everleigh's shoulder tighter than ever.

Everleigh was in pain and she scowled.

She never gave him an explanation. More accurately, she never cared to explain.

He was always the only one who reminisced about the past. She was more like a stranger who was watching from the sidelines.

Theodore was irked. His eyes turned cold and he finally let go of her. He hissed, "Get lost!"

His voice was low but the air went still and everything was seemingly frozen.

Everleigh gritted her teeth. She picked up her mobile phone before fleeing hurriedly.

"Bang!" The door slammed shut and they were separated by the door.
