Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Selena snorted and said, "You don't have to tell me to do all this. They are my nephew and niece, and it's only normal for me to bring them out to have fun. On the other hand, the way you're acting right now makes me feel like you're dying." Everleigh's expression froze for a moment, and her eyes dimmed.

Selena saw her expression and realized that she had said something wrong. "I always talk like this. I mean, don't take it personally."

"I know."

After Alastair and Adrienne came back, Adrienne shook Everleigh's hand and said, "Mommy, let's go look at the pandas. Alastair likes them a lot."

"Okay." Everleigh had brought them there because she knew that he liked pandas.

The four of them arrived at the panda exhibit. There were fewer people there as compared to the morning. There were many pictures displayed along the corridor, all of which were taken with the pandas.

"Mommy, look, it's Daddy!" Adrienne pointed her finger at the photo on the wall. Everleigh and Selena both turned to look. They saw the picture of the four of them, smiling at the camera. Theodore had a faint smile on his face. Although his teeth weren't visible, they could tell that he was happy.

"You guys have been here."

"Yes, Adrienne and Alastair insisted on coming." Everleigh's tone sounded flat.

Selena looked at her and kept quiet.

They walked in.

When Alastair saw the panda, his eyes were shining. He excitedly reached out his hand to touch its fur.

"Mommy, its fur is so soft."

"Really? I'll take some pictures for you." Everleigh pulled out her phone to take pictures of Alastair and the panda. The worker was standing by their side watching them.

Selena joined in and took pictures of them with her phone.

In just a few minutes, Everleigh had taken quite a few photos.

When the four of them walked out, she glanced at the picture on the wall.

There was a flash of sorrow in her eyes; this could be their last photo together.

When they returned home, the sky was getting dark and the kids had fallen into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Everleigh changed her clothes and went to visit the Meyer family. During this period of time, they had taken good care of her. It was reasonable for her to visit them.

After Christopher found out about it, he purposely came home from the hospital and accompanied her.

"Why are you visiting my house all of a sudden?"

"I've not seen them since the last time. I want to take this opportunity to visit them," she said in a soft tone. She thought about how the Meyer family had treated Alastair and Adrienne back then and she felt grateful. After all, they had nothing to do with the Meyer Group.

Christopher frowned. He doubted her words. He had invited her over before but she would always find an excuse to refuse coming over. He did not believe that she came over to visit for no special reason at all. When the two of them entered the house, Mrs. Meyer was busy cooking in the kitchen while Mr. Meyer was pouring tea by the sofa. The sofa was filled with clothes and toys for Alastair and Adrienne. Everleigh felt sad for no reason when she saw this.

"Mom, Dad, we are back!" Christopher entered and shouted. Everyone in the house turned to look.

Especially Mrs. Meyer, who walked straight out from the kitchen.

"What took you two so long to get home? It's alright. The dishes are almost ready. Felicia will be home soon."

Upon hearing that his sister was going to be home soon, Christopher's face turned into a frown. "Why did you have to call her?"

Everleigh shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, Felicia was still Christopher's arch-enemy.

The four of them sat at the dining table, waiting for Felicia to come back. Mrs. Meyer was worried that Everleigh would be hungry, so she specially prepared some snacks for her. "This brat, Felicia, is always late," Mrs. Meyer complained.

Everleigh was not bothered and she didn't mind waiting a little longer.

Felicia entered with a lot of things in his hand. "I went to the mall to buy something today. That's why I'm late. Let's have dinner."

She passed her things to the maid and walked towards the dining table.

"It's alright, we didn't wait for long," Everleigh was the first to speak.

Felicia's lips curled up. She took out a box from her bag and gave it to Everleigh. "This is for you."

"What is it?" Christopher grabbed it and was about to take a look at it, but he was slapped on the head by Felicia.

"It's not for you."

He rubbed his head and gave the things to Everleigh with grievance.

She took it. The Meyer family were all staring at her and looking forward to finding out what was inside the box.

She felt a little helpless and stressed. She opened up the box and it was a full set of jewelry.

"Oh my god! This was designed by a famous designer from abroad named Meverlyn. This must have cost a billion dollars!" Christopher's eyes widened as he saw the set of jewelry, and his gaze was filled with envy. "Felicia, this gift is too expensive, I..."

"I got it for you so just keep it. Our company recently settled on a project. I noticed that you don't have much jewelry and got you a set. In the future, if there are any events, you will have to dress up. It will be good for you to wear something branded," Felicia said casually as she started eating.

It was just an ordinary gift to her.

Everleigh felt a little embarrassed because the gift was so precious.

"Felicia bought it for you so you should just keep it. Plus, it's true that you don't have a lot of nice jewelry. Christopher is so stingy and he never bought you any," Mrs. Meyer added as she was worried that Everleigh wouldn't want to keep the gift. Everleigh felt more embarrassed.

She felt that she was not here to visit them but to accept gifts.

After finishing the meal, Felicia and Everleigh went to sit in the garden to enjoy the bliss of the evening.

"This garden is beautiful."

"Christopher said you like flowers so my mom asked the gardeners to switch it up," Felicia said casually as she looked around the garden, as if it was her first time in here too. "Thank you." Everleigh lowered her head, feeling more and more guilty. If only she was the real daughter-in-law of the Meyer family but sadly, she wasn't.

"You don't have to be so polite with me and about your illness. You will be fine." Felicia lifted her coffee cup from the table and took a sip from it. Everleigh was a little surprised. She raised her head and looked at Felicia in shock, "Y-You know about it?"

"I invested in the hospital so it's only normal for me to find out. Everleigh, even though we have only met a few times, you're a good woman. My brother is lucky to be with you." Everleigh gave a weary smile. He was not the lucky one, but she was. She was the lucky one to have met someone from the Meyer family.

"Don't tell anyone about this, okay?" She asked in a pleading tone.

Felicia nodded and looked at the scenery in the distance with a serious expression.

When Everleigh was about to leave, her car was filled with bags of items for Alastair and Adrienne.

"If you have time, bring the kids here with you. We have a lot of space here." Mrs. Meyer missed the children deeply but sadly, they could only stay with the Trevino family. "Alright, I'll bring them back next time."
