Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

His smile grew even wider. “You’re here to ask about Jorben?”

“Sort of. I think there’s something off with this person but I can’t tell what’s wrong with him.” Everleigh didn’t hide how she felt. Whenever she thought of Jorben, she felt very strange.

If she was asked for her opinion, she would say that her first impression of him was not good.

“It’s Selena’s freedom to like him. You can’t stop her from doing that.”

“I’m not going to stop her and I’m not against it either, but it’s always better to be careful,” she explained.

Theodore had no choice but to let Moses investigate this matter when he saw how serious she was.

“The results will be out in the afternoon. We’ll have lunch together later.” He didn’t care about other people’s matters; it would be enough as long as he cared about Everleigh.

She nodded. She couldn’t be too anxious.

The morning passed quickly. She was very happy about the results of her research.

“It won’t take long to succeed.” She had devoted herself to scientific research until she’d forgotten the purpose she came for.

He wouldn’t remind her either. He had already spoken to the authorities so they should at least be able to see some results.

What’s more, Talbot was still waiting for them. His career’s success was also one of the major businesses in Ocpeace City.

It was a good thing for him.

“It’s noon already. Let’s have lunch.”

“Okay. I’ll get all the data ready first,” Everleigh said without raising her head as she continued to type on the keyboard.

Theodore wasn’t in a hurry. He sat patiently and waited for her.

About ten minutes later, she had finished dealing with the data. She turned off the computer, stretched, and said, “Done, let’s eat.”

The two of them arrived at the restaurant. He ordered her favorite dishes and she ate quite a lot.

She had a good appetite.

“With the current research results, when will it get listed?”

“I’m already done with the final stage and I’ll proceed to the clinical trial next. I’ve already found a patient with heart disease in the hospital. I’ll take over ten of the samples and monitor them everyday.” Everleigh had already arranged everything properly, she’s just waiting to use the machine.

Upon hearing her words, Theodore’s lips curled into a smile. “This is the first time I’ve been so relaxed in my work.”

“In the past, you always bore it alone, so of course you would be tired. Now that I’ve shared half of the burden for you, the result will definitely be different.”

“That’s true.” He didn’t deny it. If it wasn’t for her helping him, he wouldn’t have been able to start quickly.

She chuckled and said, “Now that you know, why don’t you investigate that guy for me?”

He hadn’t even had a chance to open his mouth before he saw Leon walking in from the entrance.

Leon, dressed in suit and leather shoes as usual, strode over. His eyes were not as cold as last time, but were full of panic.

“Is it true that Selena has a boyfriend now?”

Everleigh was very familiar with his voice and looked at him with some consternation in her eyes. “She…”

It was not surprising for Theodore to see him here. Moses told him that he met Leon during the investigation and told him everything, and this scene followed.

“Is it true?” Leon stared at her intently, his eyes trembled slightly, as if he could not believe his ears.

She didn’t know what to say about Leon’s sudden change and finally nodded.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“It’s true. I also only found out about it yesterday. They got together during her few months abroad,” she told him truthfully. He had already found out about it anyway. It didn’t matter what she told him.

Leon was still in shock. He was very clear about how Selena had treated him before. How could she get together with another guy in such a short time?

“You’re lying, aren’t you?” He murmured, his eyes filled with disbelief. “It must be because you don’t want us to be together. That’s why you’re lying.”

Her lips were pressed tightly together. She could not bear to see him like that.

“She’s telling the truth. That man is Jorben, a scriptwriter. As for Selena’s matters, Everleigh and I are both outsiders. No one knows what’s going on. If you want to know more about it, go ask that person. Don’t disturb us when we’re eating.” Theodore’s cold and arrogant voice appeared.

He completely ignored the fact that Leon was his cousin.

Leon turned and looked at him. He looked completely dejected.

“I got it.” He turned around and walked out slowly.

Everleigh looked at his depressed figure. She really couldn’t bear to see him like that. Now, it seemed that Leon wasn’t playing with Selena’s feelings. If he was really acting, he wouldn’t have reacted like this.

After he left, she had no appetite. “I’m done. I’ll go to the hospital first.”

“Okay, I’ll take you there.” He knew that she was worried about their affairs, but they were outsiders and should not interfere.

It would be best not to make any comments about it.

On the way to the hospital, Everleigh almost forgot. “Did you check on Jorben’s information?”

“This person’s life as a scriptwriter is very simple. He is either at home, with the crew, or at the management company. There is nothing special about him, except for one thing. Every Sunday he would leave his home for one night and go back in the morning. I don’t know where he goes.”

“One night?”

“Mm. This was all investigated by Moses. There’s nothing special about it. Maybe he just relaxes during the weekend,” Theodore explained.

However, Everleigh didn’t think so. She felt that there was something else going on.

“Don’t keep thinking about it. Your sister is an adult. If you interfere too much with her matters, she’ll have a grudge against you. You don’t want this to happen, right?” His words hit the mark.

She recalled how she and Selena had talked together the night before. It was a lie to say that she was not happy, but she was doing everything for her sister’s own good.

“So are you saying that I shouldn’t care whether Selena will be bullied or not?”

He said in a deep voice, “Everleigh, you can’t take care of everyone’s feelings. Your sister did this because she had her own thoughts. There’s no need for you to interfere too much.”

Sheh was silent and didn’t speak for a long time. Maybe she really thought too much, and maybe things were not as bad as she assumed.

They arrived at the hospital. She got out of the car and said as she closed the door, “I’ll try to let go of this.”

“Call me if you need anything. I will continue to help you look into it.”

“Okay.” She walked into the hospital in low spirits.

After Theodore watched her walk in, he took out his phone and called Moses. “Look into where Jorben goes every Sunday night.”

“That’s not a good idea. It’s someone else’s private life after all,” Moses replied sheepishly.

It depended on what they were trying to investigate. He felt that it was inappropriate.

“Are you working for me or Jorben?”
