Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Christopher was startled by him, and he looked at him for a long time. How could he have forgotten that Stainley was not there to greet him when he arrived the day before?

“She went out. What do you want?”

When Stainley heard that she went out, his eyes dimmed. He came over as early as he could to see her, but he still couldn’t catch her.

“It’s nothing.”

“You don’t look like you came here for nothing. Tell me, what’s going on?” Christopher was curious. It seemed like something was up.

Stainley raised his eyebrows and looked into his lazy eyes. He did not answer him.

Christopher rolled his eyes as he thought of something. He said immediately, “Did you say something wrong to Everleigh before this?”

Otherwise, how could Stainley not show up?

After all these years, he had gotten used to it. Wherever Everleigh was, Stainley would surely be there too. Something must have happened between them for him not to appear on such an occasion like the day before.

“It’s not a big deal. I just want to tell her that I’m leaving.”

“Ah? Where are you going?”

Christopher was confused by his words. It took him a lot of effort to be by Everleigh’s side. How could he just leave?

Stainley’s eyes sank slightly and he said in a low voice, “I’m going to an academic exchange programme abroad. The dean wants me to attend it. I may be away for three months. I just wanted to let you guys know.”

“Was it the dean who asked you to go, or did you ask for it yourself? Stainley, we have been friends for so many years, how can I not know about your personality?” Christopher asked solemnly.

It was obvious that he did not believe Stainley’s words.

Stainley remained quiet.

His silence confirmed what he said.

“Stainley, if you want to say goodbye to Everleigh, my advice for you is not to say it. If she finds out, she will only think that you are escaping from reality.”

Stainley had also thought of this problem, but if he left without saying goodbye, she would misunderstand.

Christopher sighed softly, put his arm around Stainley’s shoulder, and said, “I feel a bit reluctant to see you leave, but the relationship between the two of you will be much better over time, and things won’t be so awkward anymore.”

Stainley turned and chuckled, “Christopher, sometimes I really hate you for being so straightforward.”

“If you had been as straightforward as me, then you wouldn’t have stayed in this situation with Everleigh for such a long time. Stainley, she should have already told you the truth, right?” Christopher’s eyes were so sharp that he could tell if there was anything wrong with just a glance.

Stainley nodded. He didn’t want to deny and he couldn’t find a way either.

“Then you won’t stand a chance. The two of them are back together. You’d better find someone else.”

It was not the first time that Stainley heard such words and he didn’t want to hear them anymore. Only he himself knew if he could let go of her.

However, he still listened to Christopher’s advice and did not say goodbye to Everleigh. It was also very awkward to meet her, so he might as well tell her when he came back.

She received a phone call from Yvonne after she arrived at the company. She had not seen her for a long time.

It was really surprising to receive her call.

“Yvonne.”

“Everleigh, do you have time? Let’s meet up.” Yvonne’s voice was calm.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Okay.” Everleigh looked at the documents on the table. They were all done. There was nothing else to do.

Everleigh asked her to meet at the cafe below the new company.

She had always wanted to try the place because she had heard that their drinks tasted good.

Yvonne walked in. She wore a long black dress, her hair was slightly curly, and she looked charming. She wore big sunglasses and looked around at the entrance.

At a corner, she saw Everleigh sitting while sipping on a cup of milk tea.

Her mouth curved slightly. “Have you been waiting for a long time?”

“I didn’t wait long. I’ve ordered a cup of milk tea for you. It tastes really good,” Everleigh said and handed over the cup of tea in front of her.

Yvonne took off her sunglasses and chuckled, “Thank you.”

Everleigh looked at her expression and felt that she was a little different. She used to be gentle, elegant and graceful, but now she looked more charming, which made people feel like she had changed.

“Yvonne, did you…”

“Is it that obvious?”

Everleigh almost blurted out, how was it not obvious?

“I’ve been learning to dance recently. To be honest, it’s quite effective.” Yvonne smiled and she looked happy.

“Yes, it’s very effective,” Everleigh nodded and said.

Yvonne took a sip of milk tea and smiled gently, “It tastes good. Hansen will like it.”

“Yvonne, what can I do for you?”

Yvonne chuckled and said, “It’s not a big deal. I just want to know how you’re doing. I saw that you were involved in a big fuss previously. I know that you’re frustrated at that time, so I didn’t bother you.”

“It’s all in the past.”

“I have seen how Wilson handled his matters. Everleigh, he won’t give up just like this,” Yvonne reminded her kindly with a somber face.

“I know.”

“Everleigh, I’m sorry that I didn’t show up when you were in trouble.” Yvonne looked apologetic. She owed her too much.

However, she just couldn’t do anything to help her.

Everleigh was startled for a moment and then laughed. She said, “Yvonne, you don’t need to apologize. I can always solve my own problems by myself. I appreciate your concern for me.”

The corners of Yvonne’s mouth curled up. Everleigh seemed like she didn’t care much about it, so she was relieved.

“I have already filed for a divorce, but Wilson is not willing to let me go,” Yvonne said suddenly.

Everleigh pursed her lips. “What did Hansen and Loraine say about your decision?”

“They both agree with me. They were brought up by me after all. They don’t have much affection towards their father,” Yvonne smiled bitterly. Speaking of which, that father had never done what a father should do for his children.

Yvonne had persevered for so many years, but every time she thought about it, she felt exhausted.

In order to protect her ridiculous love, what she got in return was Loraine and Hansen getting hurt.

She didn’t want to hold on any longer.

It was better to be practical.

Everleigh didn’t want to make any comments. This was a matter within their family. It’s just that since Wilson insisted on not giving up for such a long time, he wouldn’t divorce her so easily.

“Will he divorce you?”

“The reason why he doesn’t want a divorce is because of his reputation. He had already been divorced previously because of an affair, and if he’s getting another divorce again, it’ll only bring him a bad name. He has had no love for me since a long time ago. What’s left for me now are just a few ripples,” Yvonne smiled bitterly. She had already known this for quite a while; it was just that she wanted to deceive herself.

For the sake of her children, she was willing to put up with Madam Scott. She did not expect that in the end, it was all in vain.

Now that Madam Scott was dead, Theodore was the one in charge of the Godfrey family. It was even more impossible for her to enter the door of the Godfrey family.

It was better to leave early and live the life she wanted.

“If you need anything, just let me know.”

“You don’t need to do that. No one can interfere with our family business,” Yvonne said flatly.

Everleigh did not refute. What she said was true. It was already beyond the control of the officials, what more to say for outsiders like her.

Both of them suddenly remained silent for a long time.

No one spoke.
