Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

The corners of Theodore’s lips curled up into a smile. He realized that Everleigh was not without a business mind. It was just that she did not want to pursue that field.

As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she began to work.

He went back to work in his office as well.

In the afternoon, at the airport of Ocpeace City, Ysabelle walked out in a black windbreaker. She covered her beautiful face with a pair of black sunglasses. She took out her phone and made a phone call, “Where are you?”

“We have arrived, Miss Ysabelle.” Hodge picked her up in his car. For some reason, the traffic was bad that day.

Ysabelle was so tired that she wanted to go back and have a good rest. She dozed off soon after getting in the car.

When she returned home, only Samuel was home alone. When he saw her, he asked, “Why are you home so late?”

“The traffic was terrible. Dad, I’m tired. I’ll get some rest first. Let’s talk later tonight.” She yawned as she spoke.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She was really sleepy.

Samuel nodded and ordered the servants to bring her luggage upstairs so she could have a good rest.

In the evening, Christopher received a call and went back with Erine.

“Erine, come here. I’ve brought you some presents.” Ysabelle beckoned her to come over.

When Erine went over, she saw Ysabelle take out a box. Erine did not open it up immediately. “Thank you, Ysabelle.”

“You’re welcome. Open it and take a look. I promise you’ll like it,” Ysabelle urged.

The main reason Erine did not open it was because she felt that it was impolite. However, since Ysabelle had said so, opening it was not a bad thing.

After opening it, she saw a gold necklace inside with a yellow diamond on it. At first glance, she could tell that the diamond on it was valuable.

Erine stared at her with wide eyes. “This… This is expensive, isn’t it?”

“I got it at an auction. This yellow diamond is very rare. I can tell at a glance that it suits you, so I got it for you,” Ysabelle said with a smile. She would buy whatever she liked.

It was not a big deal.

Since it came from an auction, Erine knew that it would not be cheap. She was surprised and said, “Ysabelle, this is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”

“Since she has given it to you, just take it. She has never gotten something that nice for me before,” Christopher said coldly.

When Ysabelle first saw Everleigh, she bought a lot of things for her. However, she did not buy anything for him. It was the same this time. Did she not know to buy something for him?

“You have the money, so you can buy it yourself. Besides, this is your wedding gift. When you get married in the future, I won’t be giving you anymore gifts,” Ysabelle’s words interrupted Christopher’s complaints.

He was rendered speechless. It turned out that this was what she was planning.

“You… You wish! I’m telling you, if you don’t give me a present when I get married, you’ll be in big trouble.” He became furious all of a sudden. If she thought she could get away with this just by giving a necklace, it was simply too…

Erine blushed when she heard the word ‘married’. She thought it was way down the road. She still could not believe that they were going to get married.

Vanessa was observant. She could tell that Erine was feeling uncomfortable, so she quickly added, “The two of you, are you done quarrelling? Come, get ready for dinner. If you don’t want to eat, go back to your room.”

The siblings looked at each other and did not say anything. They got up to eat obediently.

Maverick came back on the next flight after Ysabelle’s. He was back from a business trip.

When Theodore heard the news, he went to pick him up. The moment Maverick saw him, he could not help but tease, “Look at you. You look like you’re doing well lately.”

“Why are you still as talkative as ever?” Theodore asked coldly. Since when did this person start speaking so much?

Maverick rolled his eyes at him. He did not have many people to talk to while abroad. Now that he had someone to talk to, he had to grab the chance.

He did not expect Theodore to react like this.

He surely did not act like this when he needed Maverick’s help.

Theodore brought him to the hotel, but Maverick did not stand on ceremony. He was experiencing jet lag, so he went straight to rest upon arriving. He just left Theodore to do whatever he wanted.

When Everleigh was at work, she saw Ysabelle and Felicia. She was overjoyed, and quickly went up to them and asked, “Ysabelle, Felicia, why are you here?”

“We have nothing else to do, so we came to see you.” Ysabelle had a bag in her hand which was full of delicious food.

“Thank you. Wait for me in my office. I’ll be there in a minute.” Everleigh still had to check up on two wards, but it would not take long.

“Alright.”

When she was done with work, she went back to her office and looked at the two people sitting in the chairs. She had no choice but to admit that the people from rich families were really different.

Their elegant temperament was oozing simply by sitting there.

“Everleigh, what are you doing standing there? Come here.”

She was lost in thought and forgot where she was.

She was embarrassed so she quickly said, “I was just thinking about something.”

“Everleigh, we heard from Christopher that you are experiencing some troubles. If you need help, the Meyer family is ready to help you abroad,” Ysabelle said seriously.

They liked Everleigh very much. It would be nice if she could be with Christopher. However… There were no ‘ifs’.

Although that was the case, it did not affect their love for her. It was fated for them to be friends. No matter what Everleigh did, they liked her.

When she heard their words, she was moved. However…

“Elvir is dead. There is no use in investigating now. However, I still appreciate your help.”

“Everleigh, although he’s dead, the clues wouldn’t just disappear. Since you chose to believe him, you should trust in his capabilities,” Felicia said in a deep voice. Her dark eyes were shining.

That was because she had a unique view of the situation.

As long as Elvir had taken action, there would be traces of it. There would surely be clues left behind.

Everleigh did not need to know who that person was now. She was already very sure of who it was.

“I know, Felicia. By the way, it’s my treat at noon. Let’s have a meal together. Let’s call Erine as well.” Everleigh did not want to go on anymore.

The sisters looked at each other and agreed. “Well, the restaurant we went to last time was good. Let’s go there.”

“Okay, I’ll make a reservation right now,” Everleigh said as she made the call. After having a meal together several times, she knew what their preferences were. Therefore, she ordered the food in advance.

At noon, the four women gathered together. Erine ate a lot of food for no reason.

Felicia asked, “Didn’t you eat anything in the morning?”

Erine shook her head. She wanted to, but she did not have the appetite after getting a call from the Harrison family. She only realized that she had not eaten while at work. She had been starving. It was great that she could finally eat now.
