Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

"Wait, what?" Everleigh and Christopher said at the same time.

No one had expected Felicia to say such things. It was truly unbelievable.

What kind of a sister would make her younger brother quit his job to take care of his children at home? Not only that, but they were from the Meyer family, a big family, so this was really just too unbelievable.

"Is there a problem?" Felicia still looked serious, "Obviously, Everleigh's job is better and more promising than yours. Christopher, you can't get any achievements like this. So just stay home obediently and take care of your wife and kids." After that, she looked at her parents, "Mom, Dad, what do you think?"

Samuel and Vanessa were stunned for a moment. They were a little surprised. However, when they thought about their daughter's words, they found it reasonable. It seemed like they were about to nod.

Before they answered, Christopher was already anxious, "Mom, Dad, you're not going to agree to that, are you?"

Vanessa hesitated, she said, "Your sister's words are quite reasonable. Everleigh is very busy and our family doesn't need the money you make. You should accompany your family more at home. You can take better care of Everleigh's daily life. That would be great."

"No, that would be too ridiculous, wouldn't it? How could a man resign to take care of his children at home?"

"Fine." Felicia's words were cold. It was not loud, but there was a thunderous momentum in her words. She glanced at Christopher and said, "It's fine for you to disagree, but your bank card will be frozen, and you will make money yourself." "Felicia! You..."

"What did you just call me?"

"You've gone too far."

Felicia said slowly, "I have given you a choice. You can't have everything."

Christopher was so flustered that his face turned green, "How can you make these decisions yourself. Have you asked others about their opinions? Everleigh has not agreed to this yet."

Everleigh was just silently watching the show yet she was suddenly dragged into their quarrel and she almost choked on her food.

"Cough cough..."

"Everleigh, are you alright?" Vanessa quickly gave her a cup of water.

"Aunt, I'm fine." Everleigh lowered her head and drank the water, she was thinking about how to revert the situation.

When she looked up, she saw Felicia looking at her, "Everleigh, our family has always respected gender equality. We will respect everyone's opinions. So, what do you think?"

Everleigh hesitated, she said, "Since you have said that men and women are equal, then Christopher's opinions should be respected. He has his own ideals and aspirations. In terms of professional aspects, he is no worse than I am."

She said those words from the bottom of her heart. Even though Christopher was a playboy, he was still very serious about studying medicine. When he was studying abroad, he would be so busy and immersed in it that he would not rest for half a month.

Felicia did not say anything.

The atmosphere at the table gradually got awkward.

Everleigh started to regret it. If she had known this would happen, she would not have helped Christopher. She had already offended his sister; how would they talk to each other in the future?

After a while, Felicia said, "Alright, we will continue to let him work for a while."

She agreed so quickly that even Everleigh was shocked. When she returned to her senses, everyone had already gotten over the topic, as if it never happened.

Christopher muttered beside her, "That was unbelievable."

"What is it?" Everleigh looked at him.

Christopher lowered his voice and whispered in Everleigh's ears, "My sister has never listened to anyone's opinions ever since she was young. It feels like the sun has risen from the west."

The two of them got closer and when Vanessa saw this, she smiled happily. She whispered to her husband, "Look how good their relationship is. Now that his matter has been settled, we won't have to worry about it anymore." While Felicia ate, she glanced at the two of them out of the corners of her eyes. A trace of relief flashed across her usually cold face.

After lunch, Everleigh played a game of chess with Samuel.

She said, "Uncle Samuel, you must have gone easy on me. I only lost by a little bit."

"I wouldn't dare go easy on you. You have great chess skills. Had I been careless, I would have lost. I was just lucky to win."

Chess players were happy to meet rivals. Samuel asked, "There aren't many girls who love playing chess. Have you learned to play ever since you were young?"

"My father likes to play, so I learnt it from him."

"No wonder. You must have been influenced by him."

While they were talking, Christopher came down from upstairs, he changed his clothes and was ready to go to the hospital to apply, "Everleigh, are you finished? If you are, let's go."

"We just finished, I lost to Uncle Samuel." Everleigh looked up at Christopher with a smile. He asked, "Where are Alastair and Adrienne?"

"They are asleep as they were tired after playing. My mother is accompanying them. We should let them rest. Let them stay here for a few days."

Everleigh hesitated a little. "Would I bother you too much? Alastair is fine, but Adrienne is too noisy."

"It's okay." Samuel's voice came from the side, he showed a kind face. "Your aunt has nothing to do at home. She is always waiting for the house to get lively. You can relax and let Alastair and Adrienne stay here. She would be delighted." Everleigh smiled and said, "In that case, Uncle, I won't refuse. I still have an operation in the afternoon. I am afraid that they will wander off in the hospital."

When she left the Meyer family's residence with Christopher, her heart still felt warm.

Although she had always been the apple of her father's eyes since she was a child, her mother passed away when Everleigh was at a young age. Apart from her father, only her servants and nanny would be at home. Hence, she rarely felt warmth in her house.

"You parents are really nice people." Everleigh was still emotional when she got in the car.

Christopher yawned. "My parents are really great people."

"Then why don't you want to stay home?"

"There's a demon in the house. I would stay home only if I have a death wish." Christopher rolled his eyes rudely. "You heard it too. Would any normal people say the things that my sister said? For me to resign and take care of the kids? Why didn't she think of asking me to give birth?"

"If that was possible, I think your sister would really suggest that you do that."

"Everleigh, you're starting to get bold. You're even standing on her side now, aren't you?" Christopher glanced at her with a look of dissatisfaction. "By the way, what did she give you before she left?"

"Oh, that's right." Everleigh suddenly remembered. She took out the paper file that Felicia gave her before she left. She tore it open and two sets of keys came out from it.

"What is this?" Everleigh was stunned.

"Holy crap..." Christopher's eyes were sharp and he picked up the string of keys in Everleigh's hand saying, "Look at what Felicia is doing, could it be that she has taken a fancy to you? What's going on here?" "What's the matter?" Everleigh was confused by Christopher's reaction.

"Take a look." Christopher held a key in each hand. He shook the left one, then the right one. "These are car keys, so we won't talk about it. But this, this is the keys for a villa in Yoreast Hills Garden." She asked, "What does that mean?"

"You still don't understand? Are you dumb? Do you remember what she said when she gave it to you?"

Upon being reminded, Everleigh suddenly returned to her senses.

When Felicia handed her the paper file, she said a few words with no expressions whatsoever on her face, "Consider this a meeting gift."
