Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 262 She didn't believe in him.

Everleigh felt helpless. Christopher was a nice person, but he couldn't keep himself from bad influences. Despite the many times she had told him not to do so, it was to no avail.

Abraham's expression fell, and he went upstairs after snorting his disapproval.

"See, even Dad disapproves. How cyour taste in men is getting worse as tpasses? What good is he for, apart from his good looks?" After Abraham left, Selena grew even more sarcastic. Everleigh did not feel offended by her words. "My taste has never been good. You don't have to comment on this." "Humph!" Selena snorted.

Everleigh returned to her room. She was not used to being at home, idling about the whole day. She used to be always busy and wanted to rest, but now that she was forced to rest, she realized that this was not what she wanted. Later in the afternoon, she received a phone call from Theodore, asking her to meet up with him.

She actually had nothing to talk to him about, but he stated that he had already brought Alastair and Adrienne over.

She was left with no choice.

When she arrived at the restaurant, she heard Adrienne's youthful voice, and the table was full of desserts; there was even sice cream that was still not finished.

"Daddy, why don't you go look for Mommy?" "I'm busy." Theodore's doting gaze was fixed on her. He still remembered the moment when he found out that both of them were his children, and he had never been happier. Thinking of Adrienne's pretty face made him happy.

The only thing was that he was too occupied with the events that had happened subsequently, otherwise, he would've definitely had a good chat with the both of them.

Everleigh stood by the door for a long time, and didn't cto her senses, until Alastair saw her. He called her and pulled her back from her reverie.

Theodore turned around and saw her. She was standing not far away from him, dressed in a long, jet-black dress, showing her slender and perfect shape, but her face seemed pale and haggard.

"Come, take a seat." Everleigh walked over and sat next to Alastair and Adrienne. She looked at her daughter, whose face was covered in ice cream.

Then, she took out a tissue and began to wipe her face.

"Mommy, why are you so late? We've been waiting for you for ages. Daddy said that we must wait for you before we can order." After saying that, Adrienne even burped.

Alastair looked at Everleigh and gave her a thoughtful look, but then lowered his head without a word.

Theodore handed the menu to her, but she gently shook her head. "I'm not hungry." He didn't reply. Instead, he took the menu back and ordered a lot of food that Everleigh loved.

Adrienne stretched out her tiny hand to cover her mouth as she smiled slyly. "Daddy knows Mommy very well." Theodore subconsciously glanced at her. Pressing his lips tightly, he remained silent.

Adrienne was the only one who didn't stop talking, but when she stopped, the atmosphere suddenly becvery depressing.

"What is the hospital's stand?" Theodore toyed with the fork in his hand, his tone bland as he spoke.

"Your mother is determined to destroy me. I didn't want to tell you this at first, but now that you've mentioned it, I want to give you my two cents as well. As for your grandmother's illness, I can only say that I am not guilty. I never would have done anything to her. In fact, in the Godfrey family, she was the only one who's a good person, even compared to you," Everleigh stated, her gaze turning sharp.

She had a grudge against him too. He had claimed that he would take care of it, but when Madam Scott died, he also doubted her in his heart. Otherwise, how could he not have stopped Madison's actions? If it weren't for the two children, she wouldn't have cout and met him that day. It was utterly useless to meet up with him.

When Theodore heard her saying that he was not a good person either, he felt as if something had bumped against his heart.

She still doubted him after all these years.

Alastair frowned as he sat aside. He seemed to understand that something had happened to Great-Grandma. Theodore fell silent. He couldn't say what he wanted to say no matter how hard he tried.

"If I told you that I have already taken actions in this matter, would you believe me?" "I will. I will always believe in what you say," she replied quickly, but the more she answered like this, the more Theodore's heart grew cold.

She did not believe in him.

She actually didn't trust him.

He avoided her gaze as he smiled bitterly. His words no longer meant anything to her.

Everleigh took a deep breath, and turned to look at Alastair and Adrienne. "Have you guys had enough?" "I'm full." Adrienne put down her knife and fork obediently. Her eyes were still fixed on the ice cream, but she could tell that there was something wrong with her mommy's tone. Even if she wanted to eat, she knew that she should stop now. "Let's go back then." Everleigh stood up, and walked out with their school bags in her hands, not sparing Theodore another glance.

He watched as the three of them left. His heart felt like it had been cut by a knife. Every breath he took pained him greatly.

He took out his phone and gave Moses a call. In a threatening tone, he questioned, "Have you settled everything I told you to do?" "Yes, the complaint will be withdrawn by tomorrow," Moses answered truthfully.

"If there are any updates, tellin time." Theodore hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.

He knew that Everleigh was disappointed in him, but the more that she was, the more he wanted to prove himself to her.

As Everleigh drove them home, Alastair asked, "Mommy, what happened to Great-Grandma?" Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on 000005sfor uninterrupted enjoyment. The next chapter is just a click away, exclusively available on our site. Happy reading! Her expression fell, and she bit her lip as she remained silent.

Adrienne was also curious. She stared at Everleigh and piped up, "Exactly, I haven't seen my great grandma for a long time. I miss her." "Great-Grandma went to a very far place, and we can't see her for a while." Everleigh didn't want to break such sad news to them.

Helen had been very kind to her two children, so the relationship between them was naturally different. The children would definitely be very sad if she told them.

Alastair's eyes were filled with sadness when he heard this. He lowered his head, and his eyes turned red, En Perne however, looked puzzled. "Where is she going? When will she be back?" Everleigh continued driving, and didn't intend to answer her. While Adrienne kept asking questions, Alastair cut her off, "Adrienne, don't ask any more." "Why? Isn't Great-Grandma very fond of us? Won't she miss us if she leaves?" She asked in confusion.

Alastair turned his head away from her, and tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably. He stretched out his hand and wiped them without leaving a trace, as if nothing had happened. Adrienne looked at his action, and seemed to have felt his sadness, so she did not say make any remarks. At the stime, Josephine was on a call with Xavier, and she told him what had happened.

He snorted indifferently. "That's not bad either. At least she knows that she won't be able to control everything." Josephine's face fell when she heard his words. "What else are you going to do?" "Of course we're here to watch a good show. Didn't you want to see the tragic ending of Everleigh? We'll witness it soon." "Really? From the look of Theodore, it seems like he won't give up just like that." She thought about what he had said that day, and felt extremely jealous.

What exactly was so good about Everleigh, that Theodore would treat The She had high her like this? She had been by his side for seven years, yet she still hadn't won over his heart. What made Everleigh the right one to deserve all this?
