Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 292 Chase Her Again Zeldan withdrew his gaze and looked over at Everleigh, "Do you know her well?" "Well, she's been my best friend for years. She seldom comes back from abroad these days, so she can be a little unbridled and stubborn." Listening to what she had said, he burst into laughter. It was genuine, unpretentious laughter.

Stunned, Everleigh was clueless as to which part of her conversation tickled his funny bone. "What are you laughing at?" "I'm laughing because of your honesty. Since Cecil doesn't like me, naturally she wouldn't want to leave a good impression on me. However, now that you have mentioned these things, she certainly wouldn't be too happy about it." For sreason, she believed him, but why she had said all this was because Cecil truly was remarkable. Cecil worked hard to get to where she was. And as a friend, Everleigh was certainly proud of such exemplary achievements. "Cecil doesn't like you because she doesn't fancy meeting you in this way." Zeldan didn't say anything, but smiled.

As the two of them sat and talked, they did not notice that someone beside them was spying on them, and even recorded them both using a mobile phone.

With a wicked smile, the person spying on them said, "Let's see you smile now." After which, the person kept the mobile phone and prepared to leave.

When Cecil returned, she saw them chatting happily. Bewildered, she then asked, "What were you two talking about?" "About the interesting things in my hospital." Zeldan wanted to foot the bill, much to Cecil's disagreement.

"I am a man. I don't need a woman to pay the bill." She still wanted to say something, but was held back by Everleigh. "He's sincere. Let him be. Let's just wait for the next round." However, Cecil just didn't want to owe him anything.

When all three of them walked out, Everleigh decided to go hso as not to disturb the two.

Zeldan always had a smile on his face, and he seemed to cout of his shell and opened up to Everleigh.

Back home, Abraham was telling Alastair about the state of affairs in the company, to which the latter listened with interest. Adrienne, on the other hand, was sitting on the sofa with snacks in hand, feeling drowsy.

"Mommy, you're back?" "Mhm." Everleigh bought clothes for them, and she knew best that girls loved to look pretty.

"Go try them on." An overjoyed Adrienne took the clothes and went upstairs to try on the clothes, while Alastair did not seem to be in a hurry, but remained listening attentively to his grandpa's stories about his business.

Newly discharged from the hospital, Theodore sat in his study, deep in thought. His computer screen was filled with all things related to Everleigh.

Just as he was about to turn off the computer and go to sleep, he received an email from Josephine.

The email's subject was "Everleigh". There was a complicated look in his gaze, but he involuntarily clicked the email.

Before his eyes were images of Everleigh and a man in military uniform chatting away; the smile on their faces remained throughout.

Holding the mouse, his grip tightened without him realizing it. If he could, he wished that he could crush the mouse into pieces.

A few minutes later, he took out his phone and called Josephine.

Upon seeing the incoming call, the corners of her lips curled up, forming a smug smile; she was pleased.

"Theodore." "When did you sneak these photos?" "I didn't. I just accidentally saw the two of them in the mall today. I thought that you shouldn't be kept in the dark." What Josephine had said was indeed for Theodore's sake, but still that couldn't hide the smugness in her eyes. Just when she still wondered if Everleigh would ever get back together with him, it seemed that she already had another man, leaving Josephine with nothing to worry about at the moment.

Theodore's eyes turned slightly cold, "Do you think Everleigh would be with someone else?" "Isn't that the case? I've investigated this man. He has a rather proper family background." Josephine did conduct a thorough investigation. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent these to him so hastily.

Theodore snorted. "The position of being a mistress in the Meyer family speaks louder than him. It's best to think with the right mind before saying such things in the future," he retorted, and hung up the phone.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free! However, he still felt somewhat uneasy. He still had a glimmer of hope for Everleigh, because her marriage was fake.

But now, she would rather choose someone else than be with him. How could he feel comfortable inside? Back on Josephine's side, she was fuming with anger. To her, all that she had done had always been for that one person. It was still acceptable not being thanked for, but he took it out on her instead. "Theodore, you'll regret what you said." Theodore thought for a long time, then called Leon. However, the latter was too wasted from the drinks at the nightclub, so he was unaware of his phone ringing. Thus, he missed the call.

The next morning, Leon was still in his bed, only to be woken up by noises coming from the door. "Who? Who gets up so early in the morning?" He got up in a daze, and his voice sounded annoyed. "Early in the morning?" Theodore's voice was full of sarcasm, but his gaze was as cold as ice.

Such a familiar voice sent shivers down Leon's spine. His intention to continue sleeping was gone instantly. "Theo-Theodore, what brings you here?" "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known about your unfettered 'wander-ful' life." His cold voice rose again. What was meant to be warm from the rays of sunshine turned out to be ironically bone-chilling instead. Such was the paradox in that moment.

From the outside, he was clearly warm, but within him, it was icy cold.

"I... I was out for business." "I didn't know you still had any." In an instant, Leon grew embarrassed and spiritless. He sat on the sofa, not having the courage to look up. "So, my dear cousin, what do you want from me?" "I want to chase after Everleigh." Hearing this, Leon becfull of energy instantly. Didn't he say that he didn't miss her? So why was he thinking about her now?

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on om nel5s.org, you might be missing out of the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free! An expressionless Theodore stood before him, his eyes filled with ssense of guilt. He was human after all, so it was only natural for him to feel guilty. It was, however, not obvious.

He had never intended to do anything at first, but the thought of Everleigh being with another man made him very angry. He was obviously more outstanding than that guy. "That... Are you sure?" "Yes."

Hearing his affirmative answers, Leon laughed. "That's easy. First, you have to show that you care. Take what happened before as an om example. When she got too busy with work and didn't have tto eat, you can be more attentive to her needs and prepare a good meal. Take things one step at a time. It could work." Theodore looked at Leon's gleeful face and frowned slightly. Why did he feel that his ideas weren't very reliable? It wasn't like he had never cared for her before, but all he got was her rolling her eyes at him.

"Just trust me. People now like kind and considerate types."

In actual fact, Leon had used such tactics previously, thus winning a large number of women over which resulted in him losing count and control over them. Theodore sunk in his thoughts for quite a while, and turned to leave. Before he left, he said, "If the plan doesn't work, I'll hunt you down." Hearing this, Leon's laughter and joy turned to misery and woe within seconds.

"What does this have to do with me?" He sighed helplessly.

In the end, Theodore really took heed of the advice. He delivered food to her and even sent her a mini bouquet of roses.

Everleigh looked at the presents on her table and asked the nurse.

"Who's been here?" "It's Moses. He said that it was Mr. Godfrey who sent him here," the nurse tried to recall what the man had said as much as she could. Stunned, Everleigh thought, "Theodore?" What the hell is he up to this time? "Okay, thank you," she said, and proceeded to call Theodore. What on earth was this man thinking?
