Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 136 Live A Good Life? Everleigh did not understand the meaning of Theodore's words.

Theodore did not look at her. He had a heavy expression on his face; it was a look that could make one feel breathless.

"You don't have any evidence, so how do you know?" Everleigh hesitated for a moment before she asked.

Since those people in the police station denied that they were instructed by Mrs. Godfrey, it meant that she must have done many things without leaving any evidence behind. How could Theodore be so sure without any evidence? "You don't have to worry about it. It will never happen again in the future." Everleigh, who had just relaxed, heard what he said and frowned again. She said in a casual tone that carried a hint of ridicule, "How can you guarantee that?" It was not difficult to understand the mother-son relationship of the Godfrey family. Not to mention, Christopher, who was part of her circle, helped her to investigate.

Theodore and Madison's characters did not match, and they did not interact much with each other either. It was because of Theodore and Josephine's engagement that they had frequent interaction with each other these past few years. Because of Mrs. Godfrey's position in the Godfrey family, Theodore could not challenge her directly. How would he have the confidence to stop Mrs. Godfrey from doing what she wanted? Theodore said, "I have my ways. In short, no matter what my mother told you or did to you, it will never happen again." "What about the incidents that happened in the past? Do you mean that I should not investigate them any further?" Everleigh's angry expression made Theodore's face freeze slightly. After a while, he said solemnly, "For your own good, do not pursue them anymore. Do you think that just because you are backed by the Meyer family, you can act rashly? I do not see the Meyer family doing anything for you." Theodore suddenly brought up the Meyer family and Everleigh bristled with sourness.

She frowned and said, "It's my own business." "Is that so? It's quite interesting for two people who are married to each other to be uninvolved when something happens to one of them. If it was me, I would..." Theodore had only finished half of his sentence when he suddenly realized something and stopped abruptly.

Everleigh looked at him. When she saw that he did not continue, she was dumbfounded. She soon realized the implications of his words. Her face slightly stiffened and she instantly felt as if her air had been taken away. It was so quiet that it was awkward.

"Let's talk." Theodore suddenly looked at her sternly.

Everleigh clenched the water bottle in her hand. Since he appeared at the swimming pool all of a sudden, she vaguely guessed what he had wanted to talk about and replied, "Okay." There was a coffee shop one floor down from the swimming pool. The people who went there were mainly people who cto swim or exercise. At that time, they were either in the gym or at the swimming pool, therefore the coffee shop was empty.

Everleigh and Theodore sat opposite each other in the corner and listened to the soft violin music in the cafe. It was melodious and relaxing, suitable for such an afternoon.

"An iced latte, please. Thank you." "What about you, sir?" "An Americano." "Okay, please wait for a moment." Seven years after she returned, many things had changed, and so did many people. The resentment in her heart was still there and it was the first tthat they could sit down like this and talk peacefully.

The air-conditioner in the cafe was very strong. Everleigh's hair was wet and hung on her shoulders. She did not look old without makeup on her face but on the contrary, she looked similar to how she looked when she was still a student.

On the other hand, Theodore looked like a man in his thirties.

The misfortunes of life experienced by Everleigh could be seen in her eyes; it was way more profound than what someone of her age would normally experience. Theodore asked her, "In addition to your work transfer, was there any other reason for your return?" "Why are you asking this ;all of a sudden?" Everleigh was not unwilling to answer him frankly, but once she admitted it, she was afraid that there would be answers that she could not provide in the future. Therefore, she needed to find out what Theodore knew so that she would know what to answer.

That day, Theodore was especially patient. Even though the questions he asked her were kicked back to him like a ball, he remained calm and collected. "Christopher toldthat the reason you left Ocpeace City seven years ago was because of me." Everleigh was stunned for a few seconds, but soon she understood.

Yes, if someone had not told him, he would not have believed that his own mother would take action against him. After all, in his memory, Mrs. Godfrey did not have a close relationship with him. Theodore saw that Everleigh did not reply to him and took it as a silent acknowledgement. "I've instructed Moses to investigate the matter that year and indeed, my mother threatened you." At this time, the waiter cand served them their drinks. "Thank you." Everleigh accepted the iced latte and stirred it with a straw. When the waiter left, she muttered the word "Yes", and added in a self-mocking tone, "Sort of." Similar to when she first returned, as early as seven years ago, Mrs. Godfrey had used the future of Trevino Group to threaten her and force her to leave Theodore.

Although at that tshe was the sas she was now, she did not agree to it. However, she was in a different state now; she was no longer blinded by love as she was in the past. Now that she thought about it, it was absurd.

If she was given another chance to make a choice, she would have chosen to accept it. She would quietly leave Theodore's life. She had to admit that she could not win against a rich and powerful family like them, who could kill without shedding a single drop of blood.

Theodore saw the ridicule on Everleigh's face and he understood the indifference of the passing of time. At that moment, Theodore's eyes were filled with pain.

"Moses also found out that it was not your choice to give up the Ph. D. qualification in Ocpeace Medical University. It was my mother's doing that the university removed your name."

ishing "In July that year, the stock market of Trevino Group fluctuated abnormally. Someone traded behind the scenes, used financial leverage to buy and sell, and planned to empty the stock market of Trevino Group in a short period of time. It was also my mother's doing." Everything that Theodore said was true. After Everleigh rejected Mrs. Godfrey, she had indeed encountered the things that he said. Everything happened all at once and she was too overwhelmed by them. "That's why you went abroad, right?" Theodore's voice was very dull and his cold eyes were filled with pain as well. "You never toldthese things before." "You were very busy at that time." Everleigh collected her thoughts, dropped a casual sentence, and lowered her head to drink her coffee.

At that time, Theodore had just graduated and started his internship. He was busy working as an om interpreter for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that needed his job to be kept absolutely confidential. When he bectoo busy, he did not communicate with the outside world, including her. She thought that she was able to deal with all of this on her own.

Memories could always soften people's hearts easily, and if the misunderstanding was resolved, it would make the memories sweeter and people would forget those unhappy incidents immediately.

Everleigh lowered her head and sipped her coffee in small sips, constantly avoiding Theodore's gaze. She was afraid that if she looked at she would see the guilt in his eyes and would forgive him. She would even forgive the things done to her in the past that he did not even know about. "I'm sorry," Theodore said. "Do not pursue the matters of the past any further. You have to live a good life." The words 'live a good life' struck her eardrums. Everleigh, who was still immersed in her emotions a second ago, changed her facial expression instantly and tightened her hold on the coffee cup. Live a good life?
