Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

When Everleigh saw Christopher’s expression as if he knew everything, she found it rather hilarious. “Since you know everything, I guess I don’t have to say anything.”

“You’re so mean,” he snorted. He felt that she was being too petty.

It wouldn’t even hurt for her to talk about it.

The day had finally passed, and Everleigh had stayed in the hospital for the whole day. When it was almost time to get off work, she waited for Theodore to pick her up. However, before he arrived, Ysabelle showed up.

Ysabelle appeared at the door of her office, which gave her a shock. “Ysabelle, why are you here?”

“I’m here to see you, and ask if you are free tomorrow,” Ysabelle said as she walked into the office. She found that all the doctors’ offices looked the same.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

There wasn’t anything special about Everleigh’s.

She was rather surprised.”Ysabelle, is there something I can do for you?”

“The auction is tomorrow, and I just want to know if you are able to go with me.”

Everleigh was relieved to know that it wasn’t about something important. “Isn’t Felicia free tomorrow?”

“She’s really busy with her business. How will she have any time to accompany me? I’ll show you what an auction looks like, and how it works,” Ysabelle replied with a smile.

Everleigh chuckled lightly, “Okay then, I can take a leave tomorrow.”

Hearing that, Ysabelle suddenly thought of something. She hesitated for a moment and asked, “I heard from Felicia that you’re partnering up with Theodore in a business. Is it true?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s a good thing. It’s way better than being a doctor forever. Christopher will have to inherit the family’s business in the future too, but that brat wants to spend some more time having fun,” Ysabelle sighed.

She thought that her sister-in-law was much more sensible than her younger brother. Regardless of who Everleigh was doing business with, she at least had the aspiration to do so.

Compared to her, Christopher was nothing but a spoiled, pleasure-seeking child.

His future was basically hopeless.

Everleigh kept silent. She knew that he had his own ambitions, and she actually supported him.

Christopher brought some food with him and walked into Everleigh’s office, but was shocked to the core when he saw Ysabelle there.

“Ysabelle, when did you come over?”

“What’s the problem? Do I have to seek your permission to come over?” She responded coldly.

He felt awkward. He was just surprised to see his sister at the hospital without any proper reasons.

“Alright, you guys can have dinner, I’ll go back now. Everleigh, don’t forget about the auction tomorrow. I’ll pick you up at your place,” Ysabelle reminded her.

“Alright. Thank you, Ysabelle,” Everleigh said.

Logically speaking, she should’ve been staying with the Meyer family, but she was still living at the Trevino family’s home. It was rather unreasonable for her to do so.

She even had to bother Ysabelle to pick her up the next day.

It made her feel even worse.

Ysabelle waved her hand to show that she didn’t mind.

After she left, Christopher asked curiously, “Why did Ysabelle look for you?”

“She wants me to go to the auction with her tomorrow. I know nothing about auctions, but I’m just going to join in on the fun,” Everleigh said.

He pouted. He thought that Ysabelle was biased as she didn’t invite him to go. It was an eye-opening experience.

He wanted to go with them, too.

“I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

She knew what was in his mind by looking at his expression, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she couldn’t make the decision.

When Theodore came over, she was already waiting for him at the entrance. He parked his car and got out. He walked over and said, “You should’ve just waited for me inside. It’s already late autumn, and the weather is quite chilly.”

“It’s okay, I don’t feel cold.”

“Get in the car.” He then held her hand and walked back to the car.

Inside the car, he turned on the heater to make her feel more comfortable.

“Where are we going now?”

“There’s a newly-opened restaurant, I’ll take you there to try the food,” he answered.

She smiled lightly, “I have to go back to the Trevino family’s home today, I’m following Ysabelle to the auction tomorrow.”

“The auction? Is it about the land on sale abroad?”

Everleigh shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know anything about it.

She only knew that it was an auction, but she didn’t ask Ysabelle about the details.

Theodore’s eyes flashed. After a long while, he finally opened his mouth and said, “Wilson is participating in it as well.”

She turned to look at him. “How do you know?”

“Godfrey Group has some properties abroad. If they manage to win this land, the profit is going to be very high,” he explained.

She was rather surprised. She had never asked about the Godfrey family’s assets, but judging from Theodore’s words, they seemed to own many properties abroad.

“So he…”

“He will be there, too. If you’re really going tomorrow, you have to be careful. Who knows, the Jenkins family might show up, too.” He no longer had anything to do with the wealthy families, so he had no choice but to stay out of it.

If he was still the president of Godfrey Group, he would’ve had a reason to join the auction.

Everleigh nodded. She knew that she had to be extra careful if she met someone from the Godfrey family.

The next day, Ysabelle arrived at the Trevino family’s home early in the morning. Abraham and Selena were having breakfast.

When the servant told them that someone from the Meyer family had come, they were both rather surprised.

Ysabelle walked in. She was dressed in a black fur coat, which made her look as majestic as a queen.

“Hello, Mr. Trevino,” she greeted.

“Hello, Miss Meyer, welcome to my house.” Abraham was slightly staggered when he saw her. He had seen Felicia before, but not the other daughter of the Meyer family.

If it wasn’t for the resemblance between Ysabelle’s brows and Felicia’s, he probably wouldn’t have recognized her.

She nodded and signaled her assistant to bring in the gifts that she had brought over. “Mr. Trevino, this is the first time we’re meeting, so here’s a little gift for you.”

Abraham looked at the gifts on the table. They looked nothing like ‘little’ gifts. They were all high-quality goods that would cost at least a million dollars.

“Miss Meyer, you’re too kind.”

“Don’t even mention it. My sister-in-law has been bothering you all this while, so I must come and pay you a visit,” Ysabelle put on a polite smile, which looked totally different from her expression when she was doing business.

Sitting on the other side of the sofa, Selena couldn’t help but sigh. The Meyer family was indeed an extremely wealthy family; even their gifts were incredibly valuable.

“Everleigh is used to living here, and the two children are…”

“Mr. Trevino, my parents like Alastair and Adrienne very much, too, and they always talk about them. If it’s possible, I sure hope that they can live with the Meyer family. However, since Everleigh likes them here, I guess we just have to respect her decision,” Ysabelle interrupted his words, which clearly showed her love for the two children.

He didn’t say anything in response.

At that moment, Everleigh had finished dressing up and walked down the stairs.

“Ysabelle, when did you arrive?” Everleigh initially thought that she was already considered early, but didn’t expect Ysabelle to be earlier than her.

“I’ve just arrived,” she replied.

Selena looked at Everleigh’s fancy outfit, so she asked, “Where are you going?”

“She’s going to the auction with me,” Ysabelle responded.
