Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

They ate a lot of food, and beef stew was their favorite. Of course, there were no such authentic meals when they were abroad.

When Everleigh came out, she was sweating all over her body. "I'm so full. If Adrienne was here, she would definitely eat all of it."

Christopher chuckled. "I will get her something to eat later, and you must take them back. I will not be seeing them for a while. Don't let them forget me, their 'cheap daddy'."

She laughed out loud and did not refuse. In fact, Alastair and Adrienne would not forget him.

He was a man of his words. He ended up buying a lot of good things and asked Everleigh to take them back.

The children were overjoyed.

"Didn't you buy a lot of snacks yesterday? Why did you get more?" Selena noticed that there were so many snacks when she came downstairs.

Everleigh shrugged helplessly. "I didn't buy them. Christopher did. He's going to the countryside and has no time to come back and visit them."

When Selena heard this, she did not say anything. She also picked up a bag of chips and ate them with Adrienne. She wouldn't eat junk food in the past, mainly because she thought they were unhealthy and she might gain weight. However, every time Selena saw Adrienne eating greedily, she also agreed that she should've enjoyed everything in her prime. Yet, for her career, she had to maintain her appearance and refrained from eating them.

Everleigh was also stunned. "Didn't you say that these things would ruin your figure? Why are you..."

"I think it tastes good. It doesn't matter if I eat less." Selena then ate a mouthful. It was unlikely that she would 'eat less'.

Everleigh felt extremely helpless. She took her bag and went back to her room for a rest. That day, she was really too irritated and knew that her previous conjecture was correct.

She also found out who had framed her.

However... She was confused.

What could she do even if she knew?

Wilson was an extremely shrewd person. Even if he was to tell her the truth, he would still know that she didn't dare to act rashly.

She laid on the bed as she had a splitting headache. She didn't dare to think about what to do next. The more she thought about it, the more stressed out she would get. "Let's just not think about it for now. I'll just play it by ear," she told herself.

Everleigh went to the bathroom to wash up and intended to have a good sleep.

She didn't know how she survived the past few days.

As she didn't feel sleepy when she was lying on the bed, she immediately took out her medical book and flipped through it. In the end, she received a call from Theodore. "Where are you?" He immediately asked.

"I'm on my bed at home. I'm so tired now." What Everleigh said was true. She knew that Theodore called to ask her out.

However, she still wanted to have a good rest in bed.

He could tell how tired she was from her tone, and he didn't mind at all. The corner of his lips lifted slightly. "I'm home now, and I called to tell you that I'll come to look for you tomorrow." "You're looking for me for something, aren't you?".

"It's nothing special. I haven't seen you recently, so I wanted to see you." His voice was cold, but Everleigh could hear a slight longing in his tone.

She felt a sudden sweetness in her heart.

"I'll take Alastair and Adrienne with me as I'll also be off work tomorrow," she answered.

"Okay. You should also go to bed early. See you tomorrow." He sat in front of the computer and looked at the documents that Moses had sent him. Hence, he didn't say much.

She didn't think much about it either.

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Theodore's face suddenly turned cold. He stared at the picture on the computer with his obsidian eyes.

It was the scene where Everleigh had met up with Xavier. Through the photo, he could clearly feel Xavier's attitude towards her.

Theodore took out his phone and called Moses. Without waiting for the other party to speak, he immediately asked in a cold voice, "When did this happen?"

"A few days ago. It was Mr. Xavier who called Miss Trevino," Moses answered truthfully.

Theodore's eyes narrowed slightly. "Why did he end up looking for Everleigh?"

"Because Sanchez died," Moses reported.

When Theodore heard Sanchez's name, he was completely shocked.

He had heard of the name before, but he had never seen this person. In the past few years, he had disappeared without a trace.

"What does his death have to do with Xavier?" Theodore asked again.

Moses felt that this matter was beyond the comprehension of an outsider. After hesitating for a long time, he advised, "Mr. Godfrey, you should read the materials yourself. It's comprehensive."

Theodore didn't say anything and continued to stare at the information on the computer. However, when he saw the last page of the information given, Theodore was shocked. His handsome features were illuminated by the lights on the screen, making him look even more unfriendly and heartless.

So that was why... Wilson was really a 'good' father.

To think that every single one of them was framed and hurt by him.

"Good. Very good." Theodore's gloomy voice echoed throughout the study, and his fierce eyes were filled with anger.

This was something he would never have dreamed of.

Theodore saved the document. His cold expression didn't relax in the slightest, and his affection for this father-and-son relationship was completely gone.

The next day, the warm, spring-like sunlight shone on the earth. Autumn was already here, but it still felt like summer. Wisps of golden light shone on Theodore's face.

Yet, the layer of frost in his heart still couldn't be relieved in the hot sunshine.

After Everleigh got up, she dressed Alastair and Adrienne, and they were ready to go out.

Selena walked down the stairs with no makeup on. "Where are you taking them so early?"

"It's rare for me to have a full rest day. I want to take them out for a walk," Everleigh answered with great guilt.

Selena didn't say much. She poured a glass of water and went back to her room.

In the car, Adrienne looked at the familiar person who picked them up and asked in a childish voice, "Mommy, where are we going?"

"Didn't we agree to go out and play together?" Everleigh looked ahead, and the corners of her mouth lifted a little.

Alastair, who was sitting behind her, heard the joy in her voice. He frowned slightly, but it quickly disappeared.

The three arrived at the shopping mall, and Everleigh bought clothes for the two of them. Then, they went to a restaurant nearby to have a meal.

"Mommy, it'd be great if you could take the holidays everyday," Adrienne exclaimed, enjoying the delicacies happily.

She muttered a series of words non-stop.

Everleigh smiled and looked at the time. Just as she was about to take out her phone to make a call, she felt someone appear next to her. When she raised her head, Theodore's handsome face appeared in front of her eyes. "How did you know I was here?" She asked in surprise. She wanted to call him to tell him their location.

He glanced at her and replied in a deep voice, "I was here earlier, but I had something to take care of."

"Daddy, I haven't seen you for a long time. You didn't even call me." Adrienne saw the person who came, and her big eyes were shining.

Theodore's gaze eased when he heard Adrienne's voice. He lowered his voice and said, "I'm too busy, but I won't be for now. Where do you want to go? I will take you there."

"Let's go to the library. I happen to have some information to investigate." Alastair, who had always been silent, suddenly opened his mouth and chimed in.
