Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh remained silent all the way but her eyes scanned the man up and down. She was not being mean but she felt that this man did not seem to be a good person.

They got in the car. Selena sat in the passenger seat and sighed, “It’s good to be back. The air is refreshing.”

“Was everything well with you while you were abroad?”

“The first three months were hectic for me. It was mainly because I had to continue working even though I was sick. There wasn’t even a single person to care of me. When I met Jorben, he was very kind to me. At least when I was abroad, there was someone who was willing to accompany me,” Selena answered as her tone drifted off in loneliness.

She didn’t have a pleasant experience while living alone abroad.

Everleigh turned and glanced at her. “What does he do for a living?”

“Jorben is a scriptwriter. My crew and his crew were working at the same venue, so we got to know each other after meeting several times,” Selena said truthfully.

However, Alastair, who was at the back, said in a low voice, “Aunt Selena, this person is cunning. You have to be careful.”

“Alastair, don’t talk about him like that. It’s not easy for me to find someone I truly love.”

Everleigh agreed with Alastair’s words. This person was more complicated than he seemed. She couldn’t say that she had seen through countless people accurately, but this person really gave her an uneasy feeling.

It was as if there was a gloomy and sinister aura swirling around him.

However, Selena was head over heels for him, so she wouldn’t listen to any words of advice.

The Trevino family home.

When Abraham knew that Selena was back, he purposely asked Hilda to cook a table full of delicious food, which were all her favorites.

Selena sighed, “Home is still the best.”

“Don’t go abroad then,” Abraham responded in a low voice.

Selena smiled and said nothing. She turned to look at Everleigh and said, “I saw your news when I was abroad. When did you reunite with the Jenkins family?”

“It’s a long story. I’ll explain it to you later.”

“It’s hard to get along with the people of the Jenkins family, isn’t it?” Selena was referring to Cynthia at the banquet.

Everleigh did not speak, but Adrienne spoke instead, “Aunt Cynthia is so fierce. She even cursed at Mommy.”

Selena heard her and glanced at Everleigh. “Did you retaliate?” She asked.

“It’s impossible for me to just stay quiet. I don’t need to be polite to such a person.” Everleigh lifted her gaze and felt satisfied at the thought of the scene.

Nevertheless, what caught her off guard the most was the protection from Saniogo and Alexander. They didn’t hold back at all.

“Mommy hit her hard on the face. That auntie sat directly on the floor and covered her face with her hands. She looked funny.” Adrienne showed her small teeth and laughed happily.

Selena smiled and said nothing. Now this was Everleigh. She always had a revengeful personality, and there was no way she could have put up with it.

That evening, Everleigh helped Selena to tidy up her clothes and of course, there were everyone’s gifts. Everleigh got a small ornament, on which there was a porcelain doll dressed in a red dress, just like what they wore when they were young.

“Everleigh, this is mine. Isn’t it beautiful?” Selena took out her keys, which had an ornament that was very similar to the one she gave her. One could see at a glance that it was a set made for best friends.

“It’s pretty. I like it very much.”

Selena took her to the bed with the porcelain dolls in her hand and said in a low voice, “For so many years, I’ve always felt that Dad was only good to you. I was very jealous of you. I couldn’t understand why you could get everything when we were both daughters of the Trevino family. However, during the few months abroad, I realized the hardships you had to experience over the past few years. I finally understand the meaning of I’ll never be able to understand the pain unless I get hit myself. Everleigh, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have gone against you.”

Tears welled up in Selena’s eyes as her voice drifted off.

Everleigh took out a tissue to wipe her tears. “It’s all over. It doesn’t matter to me anymore.”

“But it matters to me. I even had the evil thought before of why couldn’t you just die, so that Dad wouldn’t have to stay in the hospital, and you wouldn’t have to make the Trevino family nearly bankrupt. I never thought about your feelings, or looked at things from your perspective, but now I’ve finally realized it.” Selena truly regretted it.

She didn’t want to make the same mistake again.

She wanted the family to stay happy together.

Everleigh’s eyes were red. She was pleased to hear her sister saying such words.

They grew up together and what she had hoped for the most was their family being in harmony instead of fighting against each other.

Everleigh opened her arms and hugged her. “It doesn’t matter. I’ve never thought of blaming you.”

“I’ve always thought that, as an outsider, what right do you have to stand above me? Every time I see Dad’s love for you, I feel very angry. I’m clearly the daughter of the Trevino family, but you’re enjoying the best from them. How was I willing to accept that?”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Everleigh understood everything she said.

That was why she had never been angry with Selena because she was her sister.

At that moment, Abraham and Alastair, who were at the door, looked at each other. The two sisters were talking about the past so it was not appropriate for them to stay there.

They turned around and left the corridor.

“Everleigh, when you went to the Jenkins family, did they treat you well?” Selena wiped her tears and asked her with concern.

She didn’t want her to go to that family if she wasn’t welcomed. There was always a place for her in the Trevino family.

Everleigh’s eyes dimmed a little. “It’s all fine. Saniogo and his son are treating me very well.”

“Really? Then why did those people bully you at the banquet?” Selena had personally inquired from several of her good friends in the country who were also at the Jenkins family’s banquet at that time.

Everleigh took a deep breath and said, “You were full of hostility towards me at that time, not to mention them. They thought that since I never grew up in the Jenkins family, I have no right to show up and take away the family shares. Everyone there regarded me as a thorn in their side.”

Selena was silent. What she said was right. It was true.

“Then, you’d better don’t go there. Don’t get bullied by them,” Selena persuaded.

“Okay. You should go to bed early. We’ll talk about it tomorrow morning. I like this gift very much,” Everleigh said, shaking the porcelain doll in her hand.

Selena broke into laughter. It looked like they were back to the old days.

Everleigh returned to her room and looked at the gift. The corners of her mouth lifted into a big smile. At least there were no longer any grudges between them and they could be the same as they were before.

She had a good night’s sleep. Even her dreams were sweet.

The next morning, Everleigh went to the company to look for Theodore. She wanted to ask him if he knew anything about Jorben.

He was a little surprised to see her there. “Didn’t you go to the hospital first?”

“The progress for the heart detectors is coming to an end. I can go there later. I’m here to ask you about something else.” She sat on the sofa and looked at him seriously.

Upon seeing this, his eyebrows raised up a little. His charming voice carried a hint of a smile. “What’s the matter?”

“Do you know Jorben?”

“He’s a scriptwriter, isn’t he? I’ve heard of him. He’s in charge of one of the films for Christmas. I heard he’s pretty good with his work. Why are you asking this?” Although Theodore had invested in the film and television industry, he didn’t have much contact with it.

He just wanted to know whether he could make money from it.

“He is now Selena’s boyfriend.” Everleigh thought about it and told him honestly.
