Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 120 You Don't Want To MarryAnymore, Do You? As night fell, the black Mercedes-Benz drove into Gerbera Residence in Yoreast Hills Garden. It stopped in front of the fountain by the entrance. Moses got out from the passenger seat, opened the door to the back seat, and said, "Mr. Godfrey." Theodore stepped out of the car. As he got out of the car, he buttoned his suit and headed straight into the villa.

Dinner was ready. Mrs. Godfrey saw Theodore return but did not show much joy on her face. She said faintly, "You're back?" "Yes." Theodore took off his jacket and passed it to the servant next to him. He sat in his seat and looked at Josephine, but did not say a word.

Josephine initially wanted to greet him, but when she saw how cold he was, her face stiffened.

Mrs. Godfrey sensed how weird the atmosphere was and spoke. "You have not been hfor a few days. Is work getting busier?" "It's fine. Just the usual." Whether it was work or personal matters, Theodore had never been the one to complain. He was harsh towards his subordinates and employees, but he was even harsher on himself. Therefore, his employees had no reason to complain. Mrs. Godfrey really admired this side of him.

"No matter how busy you are at work, you should take care of your health. You cannot faint as you did before. You have to know that you are not only representing yourself, but also the whole Godfrey Group and the stocks that cwith it." Theodore frowned slightly.

This was why the Godfrey family was not affectionate. The first thing that his mother was worried about when her son fainted was not his health, but how it affected the group. No other mother would be like this.

Mrs. Godfrey did not seem to notice Theodore's displeasure. She waved her hand to call the maid over. "Theodore, Josephine made this soup especially for you. It's good for nourishment. Try it." "No need. I'm not hungry," Theodore's voice was as cold as ever and he had an indifferent expression in his eyes.

Josephine's face turned a little pale and she had no idea what to do.

Mrs. Godfrey could not stand it anymore. "Josephine cared so much for you that she worked through the afternoon to make the soup for you. You could at least taste it. There will always be fights. Haven't you had enough of it? Josephine is not even married to you yet. If the Bailey family hears about this, they will think that the Godfrey family is treating their daughter-in-law poorly." Mrs. Godfrey saw how Theodore fell silent and glanced at the maid to motion her to bring a bowl of the soup over to Theodore.

The soup bowl was placed next to Theodore's hand. The soup was clear and it looked like it had been stewed for quite stime. Usually, even if he did not have any appetite, he would drink it out of courtesy so as to not embarrass Josephine. However, ever since the incident at the Meyer family banquet, he was reluctant to see her again. He had even reconsidered the marriage deal.

The soup bowl was placed aside the entire time. He did not touch a drop of it. Josephine's eyes dimmed and in the end, she was disappointed and depressed.

Mrs. Godfrey glanced at her and frowned.

Regardless of man or woman, she did not like anyone without grit. To get something you want, you would need to fight for it. If she only relied on others, didn't it mean that she was willing to place her life in another person's hand? She felt that it was unnecessary to help someone like that. After all, it was easy to find an obedient daughter-in- law. If it wasn't Josephine, it could be someone else. Thus, she changed the topic. "Theodore, what do you think about Grandma's 80th birthday banquet? Let's have it in the city this year and book the Westin Hotel." Theodore said, "Grandma does not like it too elaborate." Theodore was obviously closer to her compared to Mrs. Godfrey. "Grandma spends her birthdays in the countryside every year. There shouldn't be any exceptions this year. We just need to prepare gifts for her." "But we would still need to invite the necessary relatives. I am afraid that the place in the countryside is not big enough and the hotels there are not great." Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on 00005sfor uninterrupted enjoyment.

Since Helen permanently lived in the countryside, she rarely met outsiders except for the festivals and holidays. She also rarely met with relatives and friends of the Godfrey family.

Mrs. Godfrey also knew that Helen was a loner, therefore she needed to be extra cautious. She did not want her effort in pleasing Helen to go to waste. "Okay, then you can ask Grandma and see what she prefers so that I can prepare in advance." "Theodore, try this dish. It's really good." Josephine took sof the food and carefully placed it on Theodore's plate.

Theodore glanced at her but he did not refuse.

After Josephine sat down, she hesitated for a long time. "By the way, Theodore, most of our wedding invitations have been printed. Should we send them out?" "There's no rush." What he said caused awkwardness at the dining table again.

This was the first thing he said to Josephine since he entered the house. What he said was hard for people to not overthink it, especially Josephine, who was getting sleepless nights worrying about the marriage deal. Right then, her face was paler than ever. She tried hard to change the topic to lighten the atmosphere but she could not find her voice even when she opened her mouth several times.

She knew how bad Theodore's temper was and he did not have much patience. She risked her life by drugging him but even if she had to do it again, she would not regret it. "Alright, I'll listen to you." After a long while, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence. "We need to check the names again anyway." After a few bites, Theodore put down his utensils.

Mrs. Godfrey still thought highly of Josephine as her daughter-in-law. Before she left, she said, "It's getting ate Theodore, Send Josephine hsend safely before you go back, lest something happens." Theodore replied with a 'hmm', then put on his jacket and walked out. Josephine nodded at Mrs. Godfrey gracefully and followed Theodore hurriedly.

It was late at night. The car was driving towards the direction of the city from the suburbs. The driver drove steadily, maintaining a speed of 60 miles per hour.

It was silent in the spacious backseat of the car. Theodore leaned against the back of his seat and closed his eyes to rest. He turned a blind eye to NO the Woman sitting next to him as if she did not exist. Before the drugging incident, he thought that it was fine to marry Josephine. Ever since then, he was really reconsidering whether he should revoke the marriage deal. The Bailey family and the Godfrey family had little common interests. It was a matter of his word to revoke the marriage deal.

Josephine also understood these things. Therefore, after that incident, she was more worried than anyone else. "Theodore, you don't want to marryanymore, do you?" A woman's voice cfrom the side and she sounded like she was trying to hold back her tears.

Theodore opened his eyes and saw a panic-stricken face looking at him if uneasily. It was as if that persom already knew that she did something wrong and was afraid of being punished. Most women were said to be softer. Truth be told, men were more likely to be soft-hearted. Before Theodore could speak, Josephine choked on her sobs and said, "I know what I did was wrong but I really had no other choice. Please don't hate me..."
