Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Xavier’s eyes widened. Astonishment, anger and shock were all seen in his eyes. The truth that Theodore just mentioned was finding out everything Wilson had done.

But the most important reason was because of Everleigh.

It had nothing to do with him, his brother.

Theodore didn’t get a response from him, so he left the restaurant.

…

The news that Everleigh had become the chief researcher of Theodore’s company had spread all over the hospital. Some of the interns even looked at her as a goddess. None of them had ever thought that she had such big dreams.

A researcher! It wasn’t that easy to do research and create inventions.

All the highly experienced doctors in the hospital felt really ashamed that they couldn’t achieve what she had achieved.

In the afternoon, Saniogo went to the hospital to talk to her about the news on the internet.

Everleigh was surprised to see him there, but only slightly.

“Uncle Saniogo, why are you here?”

“I happened to pass by, so I decided to come down and visit you,” he replied while sizing up her office.

It was brightly-lit, very comfortable, and there were even a few plant pots on the desk, releasing more oxygen.

“Wow, you really know how to enjoy yourself.”

She chuckled. “Well, after all, there’s no sunshine in this room. I can only enjoy the greenery here all alone.” She passed him a glass of water.

He took a sip of the water and hesitated before saying, “Everleigh, I want to apologize to you for the incident last night. I didn’t want to be biased towards Cynthia, but I’m just so used to doting on her.”

She didn’t say a word after listening to his explanation. It was logical. After all, Cynthia had been living with him for so many years, and many things had become habits.

“In the Jenkins family, people really like girls. My sister, Missha, is the one who receives most of the love among the siblings. No matter how unharmonious the four of us brothers are, we’ll just try to get along whenever she’s around. We’re always happy when a new girl is born. Cynthia is one of them,” Saniogo explained.

She remained silent.

It was really rare for a family to treasure girls that much. However, it had nothing to do with her. Even if they liked girls, they would only dote on the ones who grew up with them. Everleigh, however, was a girl who spent her childhood elsewhere, so there wasn’t a close relationship between her and the family.

“I hope that you can forgive me. You’re as important to me as Cynthia.” He raised his head and looked at her, his eyes filled with guilt. He wouldn’t have realized that his words had hurt her if it wasn’t for Alexander’s reminder.

He just felt that he had done nothing wrong.

“I know,” she replied in a deep voice.

He opened his mouth. He knew that his words wouldn’t mean anything, as actions would speak louder than words.

“By the way, what is going on between you and Theodore? Is the news on the internet true?” Saniogo couldn’t believe it when he read the news that morning. He knew that Everleigh was a doctor, but he didn’t know that she studied medical technology.

She nodded seriously. “It’s true. I met some researchers when I was in Africa. I learned about it as I spent time with them, so I wanted to give it a try.”

He didn’t care about the whole research thing. He just felt that it wasn’t really appropriate for her to get too close with Theodore.

“Everleigh, are you really planning to be with Theodore?”

She couldn’t help but laugh, “Uncle, that’s the only thing you care about, right? I don’t have the time to explain everything going on between me and Theodore.”

“I was worried sick when you got into trouble; luckily Alexander got there in time. The Godfrey family was definitely behind it. It doesn’t matter which member of the family did it, I just hope that you can stay away from them.”

It was not the first time Everleigh had heard something like that. Suddenly, she realized that the love between her and Theodore had really gone through a lot of problems. First it was his mother who tried to separate them, then the Jenkins family.

Why was it so difficult for her to be happy?

“Uncle, actually, apart from me, Theodore and Xavier were also the victims. When the incident happened, Xavier was also involved. I can only say that Wilson’s ruthlessness exceeded my imagination.” She gave a simple explanation of the truth.

After hearing her words, Saniogo couldn’t come back to his senses for a moment. He had met Wilson before. As a member of the Four Greatest Households, it was only normal for him to have his own plots and strategies, but those were usually used against outsiders, not family members.

He was shocked to the core to find out that Wilson had done something bad to his own son.

“I should support Theodore’s decision to start his own company, it’s a good opportunity for me as well,” she said as she looked down at her own wrist.

She had been using her hand all morning, and now, she felt a dull pain. Moreover, the weather had been rather cold for a few days, so she had been suffering pain from the inside out.

He couldn’t argue with her; there was nothing he could do about Theodore’s plan.

“If there’s anything you need, just look for the Jenkins family. Since you have your own goals, as an elder, I should give you my support,” he said in his low voice.

Everleigh was slightly surprised. She looked at him and called, “Uncle.”

“If I had found you earlier, you wouldn’t have to suffer for so many years. I hope it’s not too late for me to make up for it,” Saniogo added.

She felt very upset.

After she had gotten together with Theodore, no matter what family background she had, nothing could change their love for each other. Even though they had never talked about it, they were well aware of it in their hearts.

He went against the Godfrey family because of her. It was enough to prove his love for her. She would do everything she could for him too.

“Thank you, Uncle.” She was sincerely grateful for him.

He patted her on the head. “I guess it’s time for me to leave. Do come back whenever you’re free. Don’t worry, Luqman and Yeezoo normally won’t be there.”

“Okay.” She nodded.

The news of Theodore setting up his own company remained a hot item for a long time. On the day of the company’s grand opening, many news reporters and businessmen went to visit.

Leon was there to congratulate him on behalf of the Allen family.

Alexander, Cecil, Lenold, Felicia, and Xavier were all present as well.

They all showed up because of Everleigh.

When the reporters saw all the big shots that were present, they realized that Theodore was not a simple man. Everleigh was just as influential as well; she was able to get the people of the Four Greatest Households to attend the ceremony to congratulate her.

Cecil looked at Everleigh who was formally dressed, and said with a smile, “You do look like a researcher now.”

“Well, it’s an official event after all, and the government will be sending someone here for an inspection as well,” Everleigh said as she tidied up her clothes calmly. She didn’t want anyone to notice that she was trying to neaten up her attire.

Cecil stared as her as she became all cocky after a few words of praise.

Theodore was entertaining his business partners, but they weren’t talking about work.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Lenold and Felicia stood at the side, talking about something mysteriously. Her expression was a little odd.
