Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Theodore lowered his eyes, and complex emotions were welling up in his heart. "Do you know that I've always resented you in my heart?"

"I know. You thought that I left for the sake of Stainley, didn't you?" Everleigh answered.

"Yes, I've always thought that you were betraying me, but in the end, you told me that all of this was just my own speculations." He thought back to the resentment he had been feeling towards her over the past few years and wanted to slap himself.

Why didn't he believe her? Why didn't he make a thorough investigation? If he did, they wouldn't be separated for seven long years.

He would not have misunderstood her for seven years, and would not have let her live such a hard life.

Everleigh recalled that period of time. Yet, in her heart, she still felt like the incident just happened recently. The helplessness, pain, and darkness; all of them would forever occupy her heart.

She also wanted to be optimistic, but she couldn't. Everyday she had to worry about her two children; it was enough to make her breathless.

"Everleigh, no matter how much I say now, I can't make up for your pain. All I can do is..." He tried to comfort her.

"I'm telling you all this not to make you feel guilty for what you've done to me, but to let you know your father's true colors. His final target is you. You were right. This is between you and the Godfrey family, and after all, I'm an outsider," she chimed in.

He interrupted her, "You're not an outsider. You're my woman."

Her next words were stuck in her throat, and she didn't know how to answer for a while. In theory, they had children between them, so it was unlikely that they had nothing to do with each other.

"This time, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. Since he doesn't care about the kinship between father and son, there's no need for me to go easy on him." Theodore's expression was cold, and the emotions in his eyes made it seem as if he had made up his mind.

Everleigh remained silent. This was their business, and she had no right to be involved.

"It seems that I'm trying to make you and your father turn against each other," she couldn't help but sigh.

"Didn't you come back to investigate what happened that time? Now that the truth has been revealed, I will personally avenge you," he promised her.

She chuckled. It was as if she was fine with the plan.

Alastair and Adrienne came with many books in their hands. Alastair's books were mainly about the management field.

Adrienne, on the other hand, was holding comic books and novels.

"Do you understand these things?" Everleigh picked up the book in Alastair's hand and looked surprised.

"Has he already begun to read this kind of book?" Theodore was also shocked.

"I can understand them. Grandpa has quite a few, but they're incomplete," Alastair commented as he flipped through a few pages. The words marked on the pages were more comprehensive than those in his grandfather's books. He thought that the books in the library would be incomplete, but he didn't expect that they would be so comprehensive this time.

"You can take them away if you like." Theodore felt that this child was so talented that it would be great to nurture his interest at such a young age.

Alastair did not reply. Instead, he began to read the book seriously.

The family of four enjoyed the quiet time brought by the library. Everleigh naturally also took books of medical skills. There was much knowledge that she was unaware of on the list, so she looked at them carefully.

On the other hand, Theodore would occasionally share some of his knowledge with Alastair. Adrienne was very engrossed in her comic books.

It was only at nightfall when the four of them began to leave.

Alastair and Everleigh borrowed a lot of books and Theodore sent them back to the Trevino family home. "If you guys like them, you can come here at any time."

"That's the best. I'll come over tomorrow. The environment here is good." It was very suitable for studying. Although their home was good, it was more convenient there.

At night, Alastair was sitting on the couch reading a book while Adrienne and Selena were sitting on the couch, reading comic books.

Everleigh was in her room, reading the book she borrowed. She was also writing down notes for new formulations.

Although there were no problems with her new medicine for the time being, it did not mean that she should be proud. She clearly knew that medical science would never end. Such a quiet night made people feel very comfortable, but at the same time, under the starry sky, there was a person who was agitated. That person was Xavier.

He looked at the information in his hand and smashed everything. People who worked downstairs had been used to it. It was normal for him to smash a few things everyday. The moment Theodore arrived, he heard the noises coming from Xavier's room.

"Mr. Theodore, you're here." Lucas looked at him as if he was looking at his savior.

Now that Mr. Theodore was here, Mr. Xavier's temper would be much more subdued.

Theodore entered the room and looked in the direction of Xavier's room. "Who provoked him today?"

Lucas was taken aback for a moment. "We don't even dare to provoke him. It's Mr. Xavier's investigation report. He became like this after seeing it."

Theodore's gaze was deep as he recalled Everleigh's words. Xavier might also have realized what kind of person Wilson was.

He walked in and looked at Xavier's gloomy face. Xavier felt that there was someone at the door and looked over. His eyes darkened as he turned around and then, he looked away. "What did you find out? How could you lose your temper like that?" Theodore looked at the debris on the floor and couldn't find a single place to step.

"Why would you care about my affairs? You will only be caring when pigs fly," Xavier sneered. Theodore hadn't been here for a long time, but now, he was telling him such words. He was a good-for-nothing, so naturally, he was dispensable.

Theodore walked over with large strides. His tall body was so oppressive that Xavier couldn't breathe.

Looking at the information on his desk, he frowned and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to say to Dad now?"

"Do you believe it's him who did it?" Xavier questioned back, and there was some palpitation in his fluctuating eyes.

How could Theodore not understand the meaning of his question? "Xavier, we're blood-related brothers. He has already harmed us. What's there to believe or not?"

"Everleigh has told you, hasn't she?" Xavier was sure that they had met before when he heard Theodore's answer.

He did not know how Wilson, whom he had once admired, would feel about doing these things.

"Yes, I once suspected that his motive wasn't that simple. However, when the truth was laid out in front of me, I realized that I really didn't understand him enough." Theodore's stoic face was covered in a layer of coldness. Xavier raised his head. The two faces were so similar, and even their personalities were exceptionally similar.

"What are you going to do?" Xavier pried.

"I should ask you this question. You're the one in charge of the Godfrey family's lifeline. I've always been inquisitive as to why you've endured for so long?" Theodore's cold voice reverberated throughout the room. Xavier didn't answer. He was lost in thought.

Theodore had been managing the company for a long time, and the important secrets were not only in his hands, but also in Xavier's.

He didn't take any action because he knew that Xavier would not do anything, but this time, it was different.

Xavier knew about Wilson's action, but once he knew that his father cared most about Godfrey Group, Theodore didn't know what Xavier would do. "Are you afraid that I will ruin your future?" Xavier sneered.

"Do you even care about my future?"

Xavier's expression turned slightly stiff, but he quickly recovered. How could he not care? Theodore was his brother, the only person he was close to.
