Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 228 She's Married Stainley pondered for a while and said, "At that time, the supervisor arranged forto go back to school in advance. I should've held on a little longer and stayed with you guys until the end." "Oh, that?" Everleigh also recalled and smiled. "There was nothing you could do about it." It took eight months to set up a branch in Africa. During that period, Stainley was called back by his mentor two months in advance. Due to sproblems in his graduation experiment, he had to go back and revise the data. Everleigh only thought that Stainley was feeling regretful because he didn't stay with them until the end, so she didn't think much of it.

Meanwhile, he wanted to say something else at the time, but after seeing her light expression, he gave up in the end. Nevertheless, there was a bitter expression on his face.

The place they were having dinner was on the first floor and they sat at the window. Thus, they could see the people on the street outside clearly. The night was dark and a black car stopped by the curb amidst the flurry of people. At that time, Stainley was drinking water. When he glanced out of the window, he hesitated for a moment. "Is that Theodore?" "Mm?" Everleigh raised her head and looked in the direction of his gaze. At that time, Theodore closed the car door and saw them through the glass windows. He strode towards the restaurant with vigorous strides.

Not long after, Theodore entered the restaurant and walked straight to their table. Standing at 1. 85 meters tall in the aisle of the booth, he was especially eye catching.

Everleigh and Stainley were both stunned.

"Why are you here?" Theodore looked at Everleigh for a long while before answering, "You didn't drink?" "Drink what?" She was confused and asked, "Who told you that I was drinking?" "If you weren't drinking, then Adri..." Theodore's brows creased slightly. He seemed to have understood something in an instant.

Her gaze passed over Theodore and landed on the children's area not far away. Meanwhile, Adrienne was leaning against the gauzy screen looking at them. Then, she instantly understood something. "Did Adrienne tell you that I drank?" Theodore's brows furrowed even deeper. He followed Everleigh's gaze and turned to look at the children's area with a complicated expression.

"This girl." Everleigh got up and went to carry Adrienne out.

Stainley raised his hand to stop her hurriedly. "Everleigh, forget it. Adrienne's still a kid." Since Stainley was there, Everleigh couldn't lose her temper. However, Theodore's interruption made her feel extremely embarrassed. Hence, how could she sit still? Instead, she went straight to the children's area. There were plenty of people having dinner in the restaurant, and a lot of adults were with their kids in the children's area. Then, Everleigh stood at the entrance and tried her best to suppress her temper as she shouted towards the inside, "Adrienne Trevino." At that moment, Adrienne realized that things were not going well. Half of her body was buried in the colorful ball pit. As she held the guardrail with her chubby hands, her eyes pretended to be innocent. "Alastair, bring Adrienne out." "Everleigh." Stainley cfrom behind her. He was busy trying to smooth things over. "It's fine. It's not a big deal. The children were just playing around. It's not a big deal." "Isn't it a big deal to lie?" Everleigh was already filled with anger. Adrienne had done too many things during this period of time. As a result, this was the final straw. "Adrienne, you'd better cout while I still have the patience for this." Everleigh was not a strict mother. Other than their health, she allowed them to do as they wished. Therefore, the two children seldom saw her get angry.

At this time, Adrienne was so scared that she did not dare to get up from the ball pit, and her eyes turned red with tears.

"What are you mad at her for?" Theodore looked at her. "What did she do wrong? If anything, it's the parents' fault." Everleigh was stunned when she heard what Theodore said.

Meanwhile, Stainley couldn't listen to him anymore, so he explained for Everleigh, "Everleigh is also doing this for Adrienne's sake. It's really wrong to lie, and there should be limits to a prank. Look, she made you call the way here." "I don't think it's a big deal. It's none of your business whether I'm involved or not," Theodore said as he bent down into the ball pit and carried Adrienne out of it. He then turned to Everleigh and said, "I'll bring her back first. You can pick her up after dinner." After saying this, Theodore left with the child in his arms without even looking back.

Meanwhile, Everleigh stood where she was as she clenched her fists with a terrible look on her face. "Everleigh," Stainley looked at her worriedly and asked, "Are you alright?" It was deep into the night. ;Hence, Stainley drove Everleigh to Theodore's place to pick up the child.

Actually, as soon as Theodore left with Adrienne, he and Everleigh had paid the bill and followed Theodore. It was just that Theodore had left too quickly. Otherwise, according to Everleigh's character, she wouldn't have let him take Adrienne away just like that.

In the living room of the Godfrey Mansion, the lights were bright.

After Everleigh entered the house, she didn't see Adrienne. Furthermore, Theodore had just cdownstairs. "Where is Adrienne?" She looked up and asked.

Theodore's brows furrowed slightly as he looked behind her. Apparently, Stainley had accompanied her there. "She's asleep." "What do you mean she's asleep? She has just arrived, hasn't she?" Everleigh went straight up the stairs. "I'll pick her up." However, Theodore put his arm in front of her and said, "Adrienne is asleep. She won't go htonight and I'll take her to school tomorrow morning." "Theodore, Adrienne isn't your child. It's not appropriate for you to do this," Stainley's voice cfrom behind Everleigh. There was a hint of warning in it.

Hence, Theodore's expression was as cold. "If it's not appropriate for her to stay at my house, then is it appropriate for her to go with you then?" Stainley remained calm. "I've watched Adrienne grow up. She's much more familiar tothan a stranger she's just met, isn't it?" As those words were spoken, it was clear that a storm was brewing on the horizon, just like in the office in the afternoon. Thus, the atmosphere was stifling.

In addition to that, Everleigh was very annoyed. "Theodore, get out of the ΟΠΙ way. Adrienne has to go home. I'm sorry about what happened today. Honestly, she needs to know that she can't just make jokes like that."

Everleigh had lectured Adrienne the past few times she had contacted Theodore personally, but her O M el daughter didn't seem to take her very seriously. Thus, she could end up causing a lot of problems in the future. "It was Adrienne who suddenly calledto pick you up. Have you ever thought about why?" Theodore's voice echoed in the large living room, causing Everleigh to be slightly taken aback.

"Even the children know that you shouldn't be too close to other men." "What are you talking about?" Everleigh looked at him in astonishment.

However, Theodore didn't look at her.

Instead, his gaze landed on Stainley. "The heir of the Smith Corporation, ve ignoring his own family's chain of hospitals to work at the city hospital instead. Do you think I'll believe that you're really there for work?" "Theodore?" Everleigh frowned.

On the other side, the usually calm expression on Stainley's face beca bit tense. He asked directly, "What are you trying to say?" Theodore's face darkened and a subtle emotion flashed across his cold eyes. After a few seconds of silence, he opened his thin lips and said in a loud and clear voice, "She's married."
