Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Josephine would be crossing the line if she mentioned Theodore’s past relationship with Everleigh. No one ever dared to bring it up.

Theodore gazed at Josephine coldly and she corrected herself hastily, “Theodore, you should rest. I won’t disturb you.”

Theodore could not help but frown when he spotted the panic in her eyes.

All these years, Josephine always stayed with him. She had a good temper and she was not a pain in the neck. She knew how she should behave. If he wanted to get married, she was the perfect candidate.

More importantly, she was devoted to him.

Theodore’s tone softened slightly at the thought of that. He replied, “Tell me when we get there.”

“Okay.”

Josephine ordered the driver to slow down and adjust the temperature of the air conditioner.

After that, she stared at the man beside her. He leaned against the back of the seat with his eyes closed. However, she did not manage to ask what she actually wanted to know.

Although Theodore hid everything perfectly, she could tell that he raised his arm deliberately to hit Mrs. Quelch in the corridor. That was why Mrs. Quelch’s mobile phone fell into the bucket of water.

He seemed to hate Everleigh but he still defended her when she was in danger.

Josephine gradually clenched her fists and her fingernails pricked her palms.

…

After leaving the hospital dean’s office, Everleigh’s head was still buzzing.

She did not explain anything about the video and Benedict did not pester either. After all, it was very personal. However, it created a huge ruckus, thus she was suspended from work.

Everleigh went back to her apartment. She dropped the car key on the table and slumped on the sofa.

She just wanted to return to her country and work peacefully. She was not sure if Ocpeace City had something against her. After coming back, she encountered so many problems. First, it was Theodore and then her job.

She was irked when she heard the doorbell.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Could it be food delivery? But, she did not order anything.

She opened the door.

“Surprise!” Everleigh heard a childish and lovely voice. Immediately, someone hugged her thigh.

Everleigh lowered her head and spotted a little girl. For a second, Everleigh thought she was dreaming.

“Adrienne?”

“Mommy! Do you like the surprise?” A pink little face beamed at Everleigh. The little girl reminded Everleigh of a sunflower blooming brightly.

“God, you came here alone?”

“Of course not!” Adrienne grabbed Everleigh’s hand tightly. At the same time, Adrienne leaned back and shouted to the elevator at the end of the corridor, “Alastair, hurry up!”

Everleigh heard the wheels of suitcases approaching. Alastair was wearing a set of white casual clothes. He held two small suitcases. He appeared very composed and he looked nothing like a seven-year-old.

“Women are so troublesome. I told you not to bring so much stuff.”

Everleigh was delighted to see her son. “Alastair!”

Alastair nodded in response before motioning to the living room behind Everleigh. “It’s here right?”

Everleigh gave birth to the twins abroad and the children grew up there. She just rented the apartment for work, therefore it was the first time for the twins to visit.

Everleigh glanced behind the twins and asked, “Wait, where is Christopher?”

“He didn’t come.” Alastair moved the suitcases into the apartment calmly.

“What?” Everleigh raised her voice. She was too shocked to speak. “Just the two of you? How did you come here by yourself?”

Everleigh bombarded the twins with questions but Alastair ignored her.

Arianne hugged Everleigh’s thigh and refused to let go. She was considerate enough to answer Everleigh. Her voice was adorable and she looked innocent. “Of course I flew here with Alastair. Mommy, I told you about it.”

“Huh?” Everleigh lowered her head to stare at Arianne before turning to her son, who was making himself at home. He sat down on the sofa and drank a glass of water. Suddenly, it occurred to her that the twins mentioned something along the lines a few days ago.

She never expected the twins to be serious.

How did two seven-year-olds board a plane?
