Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Selena knew how much her father valued their family's reputation.

Ever since she was a child, It was a known fact that Everleigh was Abraham's favorite. Yet, seven years ago, he severed all connections with his precious daughter to protect the family's reputation. He had not contacted Everleigh ever since. Selena stared at her father's cold eyes, and her heart sank. "Dad, the photos have nothing to do with me. I just..."

Suddenly, a relative came to propose a toast to her. Abraham gave Selena a warning look, and she immediately shut her mouth. She forced a smile and toasted with the relative.

Theodore suppressed the coldness in his eyes. He turned around to look for Everleigh. However, in the blink of an eye, he realized that she had left with the twins. Her slender figure disappeared through the entrance of the hall. Theodore's eyes darkened and he followed her.

It was July and the scorching sun melted everything in its way.

Everleigh held Adrienne in her arms and held Alastair's hand. They stood on the street to hail a taxi. Yet, all the taxis were occupied.

After a few moments, a black car stopped in front of her. The window rolled down and revealed a cold face. His dark eyes were composed and frightening. "I can see that you've gotten better at running away now." The expression on Everleigh's face changed and her neck stiffened.

"Get in the car," he instructed without any expression.

Everleigh wanted to refuse but Adrienne broke free from her. Adrienne ran over to the car window and shouted sweetly, "Daddy!"

Everleigh's face turned pale upon hearing that. "Adrienne, what are you doing?"

Adrienne turned around and blinked at Everleigh innocently. "Alastair called him Daddy, so I should do the same, right? Do Alastair and I have different Daddies?" Everleigh's face was stiffer than ever.

It was too sudden, hence she did not have the time to ask Alastair about it.

Before Everleigh could come up with a solution, Theodore popped open the car door. Instantly, Adrienne climbed into the car without a care.

Everleigh was in a daze. Alastair tugged her hand calmly and said, "Mommy, get in the car. It's so hot."

It was hot?

Everleigh did not feel the heat. Her blood was frozen when she stared at Theodore's icy face.

The car sped off and joined the traffic. Inside the car, it was extremely quiet.

The twins sat between the two adults. Adrienne got in the car first, therefore she was sitting next to Theodore.

After noticing that no one was speaking, Adrienne glanced around and finally fixed her eyes on Theodore's face. After staring for a long time, something suddenly dawned on her. She widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Daddy, I've seen you before."

Theodore stared at her quietly. He did not correct her nor reply.

Adrienne looked over her shoulder and exclaimed, "Alastair, it's the Mister who bought medicine for us!"

"What medicine?" Everleigh was confused.

Alastair replied faintly, "We bumped into him at the pharmacy when you had a fever."

"No, we didn't bump into him," Adrienne immediately interrupted. Her eyes were twinkling. "It was not a coincidence. Daddy probably came to see us!"

Everleigh did not know anything about it. Adrienne began explaining. It took Everleigh a long time before she understood the situation. The twins happened to meet Theodore when they were out buying medicine at the pharmacy. Did they bump into him? She was not sure. She raised her head and gave Theodore a questioning look.

However, Theodore turned to look out the window.

She clenched her fists and the corner of her lips curled into a mocking smile.

What was she hoping for?
