Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 38 Pigs Could Fly? Stainley was very considerate and sensitive to the people around him. Yet, sometimes, his character took a toll on Everleigh.

For the past seven years, they were classmates and friends. In the beginning, they would perform experiments together in the laboratory nearly every day. They attended the sclasses, interned at the shospital, and even observed surgeries together. They would see each other every single day.

She would be lying if she said that she did not know that Stainley had feelings for her.

Everleigh was not ignorant when it cto love. She knew that Stainley liked her, but she did not want to be in a relationship again. Hence, she kept her distance from him for years. She even used Christopher as a shield to make Stainley give up on her.

It had been years; if she wanted to date Stainley, it would have happened long ago. They could read between the lines, and there was no need to point it out. The clouds were tinted red, and the evening sky was like a painting.

A white car drove from the suburbs into the city. Stainley's pale and slender hands gripped the steering wheel. Even on the bumpy road, it was a smooth ride. Everleigh sat in the passenger seat and dialed home. However, no one picked up the call.

"That's strange." "What's wrong?" Stainley glanced at her.

"Nothing, no one is picking up. They probably went out to play again." Everleigh frowned and continued, "Letcall Alastair." She got off work early. Initially, she wanted to swing by a restaurant to grab ssnacks for them. She wanted to call and check with them what they wanted.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..." The robotic voice from the voicemail greeted her.

After calling three consecutive times, no one picked up the call. Everleigh furrowed her eyebrows.

"Do you have the neighbor's number? Or the management's?" Stainley stared at Everleigh, who was worried, and he comforted her. "I'm sure they're okay. They are smart, especially Alastair." "It's fine." Everleigh pretended to smile calmly and added, "They probably went out to play. I've warned them countless times that there are a lot of kidnappers. I told them to just stay at home, but they never listened. They won't even pick up my calls. I'm going to teach them a lesson later." Although Everleigh pretended to stay calm, Stainley noticed the anxiety in Everleigh's eyes. He stepped on the accelerator and sped into the city.

Before the car cto a stop at the apartment, Everleigh popped open the door and got out of the car. She rushed into the building to get to her unit.

She pushed open the door to her apartment and shouted, "Alastair, Adrienne!" She checked all the rooms, but no one was at home.

She redialed Alastair's number and heard a familiar ringtone from the living room. Alastair's mobile phone was left on the sofa, and he did not bring it with him. As soon as she realized that she lost the only way to contact her children, she started panicking.

It was getting dark. Even if they were just kids, they should know better than that.

"Don't worry, Everleigh, there are surveillance cameras in the apartment. We should go downstairs and ask the management to check the footage. There are surveillance cameras everywhere. It wouldn't be hard to track the kids in Ocpeace City." Stainley was worried that something might happen. Hence he followed Everleigh.

Stainley's remarks reminded Everleigh. She said hurriedly, "Adrienne likes to run around, and Alastair can't control her. So Christopher asked a friend to install a GPS tracker into their watches." She fumbled for her mobile phone swiftly.

As soon as she checked the GPS, she spotted two red dots flashing in the center of Ocpeace City. Judging from the movement trajectory, the kids had been there for a long time. "Where is this?" Stainley stole a glance and frowned. He asked, "Isn't this near Pacific South Street?" Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on 05sfor uninterrupted enjoyment.

"It's the Godfrey Group. It's him..." It was night, and the neon lights gradually lit up Ocpeace City. It was livelier than daytime, and the traffic was bustling.

In the Godfrey Group's headquarters, most of the employees got off work, so the lights were turned off on most floors.

However, in the conference room on the top floor, a meeting had been ongoing since noon.

After the marketing department director analyzed their annual plan, someone accidentally yawned, and Theodore shot the employee a stern look. Immediately, the employee was very anxious and turned pale. He was waiting for Theodore to scold him.

However, Theodore did not reprimand the employee. He checked his watch and saw that it was turning seven.

"Let's call it a day. Everyone is tired, so go back early and rest." Theodore's calm and deep voice echoed in the conference room.

A few employees cback to their senses, and they could not believe their ears.

Their weekly meetings would usually end at ten at night. Were pigs able to fly? Moreover, Mr. Godfrey even told them to go back and rest. He was not rushing for them to complete the proposal? Was that still the sMr. Godfrey they knew? Everyone was staring at Theodore in bewilderment as he got out of his seat. He buttoned up his blazer and strode out of the conference room. His hurried footsteps suggested that he had something important to attend to. In an office nearby, Theodore's secretary, Mia, closed the door to the lounge behind her.

There was a creak, and the door to the office opened. She spotted Theodore and Moses walking out.

Theodore hummed in response and asked, "How are the kids?" Mia replied, "They got tired and fell asleep." Theodore nodded and went into the lounge.

Moses was about to join him, but Mia What's Mrom stopped him. "Hey, what's Mr.

Godfrey's relationship with the kids? Are they the kids he had with his ex-wife?" "What on earth are you talking about?" Moses frowned at Mia and retorted, "When did Mr. Godfrey get married? Since when did he have an ex-wife?" "Rumors are spreading like wildfire in the office. That boy looks so much like Mr. Godfrey." Moses frowned, and he was concerned.

The news had circulated the company. It was only a matter of tbefore Miss Bailey found out.

Theodore often rested in the lounge during lunchtime.

He opened the door and noticed that Adrienne was kicking off the blanket the blanke in her sleep. She was holding onto a bag of colorful lollipops, and there were jelly beans scattered on the bed sheet. Alastair was fast asleep on the sofa too. He was holding a Rubik's cube he just solved. Unlike his sister, he was sleeping calmly.

Theodore sat down next to the bed and picked up the jelly beans from the bedsheet. He stared at the little girl in front of him. She had been calling him Daddy ever since they first met, and his heart just melted at the sight of her. She was the spitting image of Everleigh. He could imagine how Everleigh looked like a child just by staring at Adrienne. Yet, he was unsure if Everleigh was a sweet talker like Adrienne. "Daddy..." The little girl suddenly turned to her side and opened her eyes drowsily.
