Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh looked at him silently, revealing the struggle and pain in her eyes. She kept telling herself that everything wasn’t as she had thought it to be.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have waited for so long to confront him.

However, when all the evidence was proven to be true, she didn’t want to believe it.

Saniogo’s gaze darkened slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on the corners of his lips. “Everleigh, you should know what kind of person I am. Do you really not trust me?”

“Uncle Saniogo, I just want to know the truth behind my parents’ deaths. I’ve never thought that the person who did it is from the Jenkins family.”

He looked at her, who was in great sorrow, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He had never expected the investigation to go that far.

“Has Elvir known about it all this while?” She continued asking.

Saniogo took a deep breath and nodded. “Yes, but he didn’t tell you simply because he was worried that you’d suspect me. He’s just doing it out of kindness.”

Listening to his explanation, Everleigh sneered, “Kindness? If he had told me about it from the very beginning, maybe I wouldn’t have had such a big reaction today. After all, if you opened up to me, you wouldn’t seem so guilty. However, now that I’ve found out about it, what do you think my thoughts are?”

It was completely ridiculous.

When she showed him the evidence, he actually had the audacity to say that it was out of kindness.

Those words would only make her feel like he was really trying to cover up the truth.

He knew that Elvir had good intentions, but it simply couldn’t justify his actions. Now that Everleigh had already made up her mind, it was useless for him to carry on with his explanation.

“Everleigh, I’ll wait for you to come up with solid evidence. However, I want to tell you that I didn’t do it. Welment is my brother, and I love the other siblings as much as I love him,” he said solemnly.

Her heart trembled, and she immediately picked up her purse and left.

The moment she reached the main entrance of the building, tears started falling down.

She didn’t know whether she should believe his words or not, but he didn’t look like he was lying.

However… With all the proof, what was she supposed to do?

Should she really choose to ignore it and forget about it?Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

She squatted on the ground and cried loudly. Suddenly, a pair of black leather shoes appeared in front of her.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw the cold expression on Theodore’s face. She choked back her tears and asked, “How did you know I was here?”

“Christopher called me. He said that you weren’t at the hospital, and you didn’t go to my office either, so I figured out that you must be here.” He took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and his eyes were filled with sympathy.

Suddenly, she hugged him and burst into tears. “Theodore, he admitted that he was there, but he told me that he didn’t do it… Theodore, I’m really broken-hearted…”

He hugged her back and held her tightly in his arms. He was downhearted as well.

She had always been a mentally strong person, but now she was actually crying so badly. Anyone would feel bad for her.

“Everleigh, you believe in him, right?” He whispered gently into her ear.

She shook her head, and then nodded. She didn’t know if Saniogo’s words were trustworthy or not.

Theodore hugged her even more tightly. “It’s okay. It doesn’t matter if you believe him or not. As long as you trust me, that’s enough. Don’t worry, I’ll get to the bottom of it.”

Everleigh didn’t say anything. Instead, she closed her eyes and felt his warmth. She felt much better after smelling the cologne on his body.

“Let’s go back now.” He held her hand and led her to his car.

Over at Saniogo’s office, he was sitting on the sofa without moving. His heart was filled with mixed emotions too.

The only reason he went to the airport that day was to make a payment. He didn’t even see the plane there.

Who knew, his action had made Everleigh regard him as the murderer.

When Alexander entered the office, he noticed Saniogo’s troubled expression. He walked over and asked him, “Dad, what’s the matter?”

Saniogo came to his senses and turned over to look at Alexander who was standing beside him. “I’m fine. What do you need?”

“I need you to sign this document. Oh, and the meeting with the board of directors is about to start. I’m here to remind you about it.”

“Alright.” He nodded.

Alexander looked at his expression and had question marks in his heart, but he didn’t ask him about it.

When he walked out of Saniogo’s office, he asked the secretary, “Did anyone else meet him just now?”

“Yes, it’s Miss Trevino,” the secretary replied. She had met Everleigh a few times before, and it was Saniogo who had instructed her to let her in whenever she visited his office.

Without saying a word, Alexander left directly.

Everleigh was taking a short rest in Theodore’s office. She switched off her phone as she wanted to be undisturbed for some time.

Lying on the sofa, she closed her eyes to take a nap, but her mind was occupied with Saniogo’s kindness towards her. He had transferred Welment’s shares to her, and even went against Yeezoo just because of her.

Did a person like him really hurt her parents?

She was really troubled by it.

Theodore looked after her while handling his business in the office.

He was worried that something bad would happen to her again.

The day had passed. Everleigh finally woke up and sat up. She was feeling much better than before.

“What do you want to eat?”

“I want to eat pizza,” she raised her head and responded.

“Okay.” Theodore packed his things, grabbed his coat and brought her out to get pizza.

Looking at her enjoying her dessert, his eyes were filled with a hint of satisfaction. “Why do you like desserts so much?”

“Because they’re sweet,” she answered in a low voice.

She was feeling really bitter, so she wanted to eat something sweet to feel better.

Upon hearing her answer, Theodore waved his hand at a waiter and ordered a glass of fruit juice.

“Try this.”

“Mmm.” Although her mouth was already filled with food, she continued drinking the juice.

When the other customers saw the scene, some of them commented on her bad table manners.

Nevertheless, she didn’t care.

After having dinner, she finally felt much more comfortable.

By the time they left the restaurant, the sky was already dark. Theodore stood next to her and asked, “Do you want to go back to the Trevino family’s home, or do you want to follow me back to my place?”

She turned to look at him. “Your place?”

“That’s right.”

“Alright, I’ll follow you back. If I go back looking like this, they will be worried.” Everleigh wanted to go to a place where she could relax and have a good rest.

The corners of Theodore’s lips curled into a smile. He then held her hand and walked along the street while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

It had been a long time since they last took such a relaxing walk together.

For so many years, they had been busy with their own affairs. When they came across each other again, they were like enemies. It wasn’t easy at all for them to get back together.

She smiled and asked, “Do you still remember this place?”

“Yes, this is the place where we had our first date. I thought it had closed down already.”

She chuckled, “How I wish we are still at that young age right now.”

“Everleigh, life goes on, doesn’t it? The two young and innocent people back then would have to grow up and mature one day, right?”
