Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 278 Related To You Everleigh looked at his tired face and felt very guilty. Since he cback, she had been troubling him almost every day.

The next day, she watched the news on TV. Theodore and Josephine's incident had not yet blown over, and there didn't seem to be any end in sight.

The whole thing made her amused. Josephine had tried so hard to be the heiress of the Godfrey family, but in the end, her efforts were in vain.

She must be furious beyond words, and she was out for blood.

Everleigh knew her well. Obviously, Josephine was in a rage and she wanted to find a solution, but she couldn't. Meanwhile, Josephine flipped through all her contacts on her phone and found no one who could aid her in her situation. Then, her fingers stopped at Xavier's name. She almost forgot that he was an enemy to the Godfrey family, and she wondered if he would help her.

As she thought about it, her hand pressed the call button.

Soon, the call was connected and there ca lazy and cold voice from the other side. Every tJosephine heard his voice, she felt chills run down her spine. "It's me." "Are you out of ideas?" "Now that you know, I won't beat around the bush. I have nothing left now." "What do you want? Surely you don't think that I'm gonna help, do you?" Xavier asked ironically. Josephine's face froze and she becfurious. "Xavier, do you think you're blameless for my current situation? It's your business that you hate the Godfrey family, but I'm innocent." "Innocent? If this hadn't happened, I wouldn't have known that you did that to Everleigh in the past." Xavier's voice rang out upon hearing her words, showering her with ice. She felt the chill in her bones all the way to her soul.

Then, he continued, "Did you forget how I ended up in my current state?" She paused for a moment. How could she forget that Xavier was also disabled because of the incident? However, she did not mean to hurt him.

Why...

"When that happened to Everleigh, everyone thought I was the culprit behind it. Don't you know what I have been through all those years? I thought people like you would be of help to me, but I didn't expect you to be the wolf in sheep's clothing." Josephine listened to his accusations and panicked, "How... How would I know..." "Right now, I'm starting to suspect that you know the inside story of what happened back then." Xavier clutched the wheelchair tightly with both hands. His eyes widened with hatred.

She broke out in cold sweat. She hadn't expected him to think so much.

But it wasn't her.

"It is not what you think. I am innocent." "Don't say that to me, Josephine. You're in this state because of your own mistakes. It seems that you definitely won't be taking over the position of the heiress to the Godfrey family." Xavier sneered, and his harsh words conveyed his message clearly to her.

Hence, Josephine didn't want to listen to him anymore, so she hung up the phone right away. She was afraid that if she continued, he would hold another grudge against her and make things worse.

Meanwhile, Xavier was livid. He smashed everything within sight, and his shouts of grief and indignation could be heard all around the room.

The butler downstairs could not help but shiver in fear. Mr. Xavier's temper was getting weirder day by day.

When Everleigh was discharged from the hospital, Christopher was fussing over her. Stainley wanted to help, but Christopher refused him. The reason he gave was that his father-in-law was watching, so he had to prove his worth. Hence, Stainley was taken aback as he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

Everleigh also felt that she didn't want to trouble Stainley either. "You'd better get srest." "It's fine, I'm off today." Although he understood her intentions, he still couldn't help showing a touch of sadness in his eyes.

Why could Christopher do it while he wasn't allowed to? Everleigh remained silent. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk to him, but she felt very pressured while she was with him.

She didn't know how to refuse him.

When she got back to her room, a familiar feeling rose in her chest. For the first time, she found that there was no other place like home. Her hwas a place that always warmly welcomed her.

Christopher sat on the chair in her room and looked at the interior. He found that it looked rather dated, honestly. "Your room doesn't look very new." He had been here many times, but he had never taken a close look at it. She chuckled and said, "When I left, Dad sealed this room and didn't open it up until I cback." He raised his eyebrows and said in a playful tone, "Your father loves you very much." She didn't want to deny this, as it was a fact.

Every tshe thought of this, she felt that it was truly sweet, but at the stime, she felt guilty. Back then, she had been willful and she had hurt her father.

"That's right." When he saw that Everleigh had becsad, Christopher realized that he had said something wrong and secretly regretted it.

It suddenly becawkward for the both of them, and it was the first tthat he felt this way around her. Then, Adrienne walked in with an ice cream in her hand. "Christopher, this is for you."

Finally, the atmosphere would not be so weird with someone else around.

"Adrienne, you can have it." "Okay." She had just asked for fun, and she did not really want to give it to him.

Christopher didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this sight. This little girl was so protective of food, and he wondered who she got it from.

"Have you eaten anything?" Everleigh asked. Ever since they arrived at the Trevino family home, she had been eating ice cream as much as she liked. Other than Abraham, Selena was spoiling her children as well.

Meanwhile, she was too busy to pay attention to them. "Oh, yes, it's tto eat." Adrienne almost forgot what she chere for.

After that, the three of them went downstairs. Meanwhile, Alastair and Abraham sat in the dining room and Abraham was telling his grandson about the company's affairs. Alastair sat there with his eyes full of attentiveness, and he even asked a few questions from tto time. As Christopher held Adrienne in his arms, he whispered in Everleigh's ear, "I think Alastair is very interested in doing business." She agreed with him. She felt the sway too.

"If there is a chance for him to train, take just let him do it. Your father is getting older and since you can't ta over, it will be a win-win situation for everyone." Christopher's proposal made Everleigh think. Previously, Abraham had hoped that she could take over the company, but she chose to study medicine, so he didn't have high hopes for her to do business.

If Alastair was really interested, she might just allow it, but then she was also worried that it might be too much pressure for him.

"Mommy." Alastair felt someone was looking at him, so he turned her head and called out to her.

She cto her senses and said with a smile, "What are you guys talking about?" "Alastair likes to ask about the business, so I explained a little to him." When he spoke of this, there was a little more glee on Abraham's face.
