Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Looking at Theodore who was unwilling to give up, Moses had no choice but to get back to work.

Theodore also knew that Everleigh was in a lot of trouble. Even the Jenkins family was suffering from both internal and external problems, not to mention her parents.

He knew that Cynthia had gone abroad, but it was hard to tell if she had done things in secret. In conclusion, they had to be extra careful.

In the afternoon, he went to the hospital to visit Abraham. He saw Madison when he was on his way to the ward.

She saw him too. She had read all the recent news, and felt delighted about it.

Everleigh had cheated on her husband, and such behavior should’ve made her disappear forever.

“Mr. Godfrey, it seems that you’ve just got off work. I have to say, the recent news is incredibly interesting,” she mocked him.

Theodore didn’t show many reactions after hearing that. He was already used to people making sarcastic and negative remarks about them.

“If you have so much free time, why don’t you take good care of Xavier? I heard from Everleigh that if he falls ill again, he might lose his life.”

His tone was cool and indifferent, and no emotions could be detected from his words.

Suddenly, Madison’s mocking gaze became sharp. “Are you very happy to see your brother die?”

“No, if he’s dead, it’s all your fault. Everleigh has the ability to treat him, but you’re being stubborn. Even if Xavier wants to put the blame on someone, it should be on you. Mom, sometimes I’m really curious to know what kind of mentality you actually have.” Theodore wasn’t showing her any respect at all.

She was his biological mother, but they had somehow become arch enemies.

What’s more, it was all because of a woman.

He strode forward and continued walking towards Abraham’s ward.

He really wanted to visit Xavier as well, but since Madison was there, he decided not to.

Stainley was also in Abraham’s ward.

Stainley had met Abraham before, so the two of them were naturally very familiar with each other.

“I didn’t know about your health when I was abroad, and Everleigh didn’t tell me about it either.”

“It’s not a big deal. I just came here to have some rest,” Abraham explained.

Stainley handed him a peeled orange, and Theodore happened to see it.

He knew that Stainley was back, so he wasn’t surprised to meet him there.

“Why are you here?” Abraham asked as soon as he saw him.

“Since I’ve settled everything at the company, I decided to come over and visit you.” Theodore walked over and sat on the chair, as if he was familiar with Abraham.

Stainley frowned slightly and some confusion could be seen in his eyes. Since when did Theodore and Abraham share a close relationship?All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Dr. Smith, aren’t you on duty today?”

“Nope, I’ve just returned, and there are a lot of things that I have to slowly get used to. I heard that Mr. Trevino was hospitalized, so I should come here and have a look.” Stainley was trying to imply that he was familiar with Abraham.

And that it was reasonable for him to appear there.

Theodore’s eyes sparkled as a smile appeared on his lips. “Of course. Dad, I heard that you like tea leaves, so I bought some for you from a tea shop.” As he spoke, he took the packet out from a bag.

Stainley was astonished when Theodore addressed Abraham as ‘Dad’.

Abraham was shocked as well. Theodore was dating Everleigh, but they weren’t married yet. Why did he call him ‘Dad’?

Theodore knew what they were thinking about, but he didn’t mind. It was only a matter of time before he would start calling him ‘Dad’.

The relationship between him and Everleigh would never be broken up by anyone.

Hence, it didn’t matter.

Stainley lowered his head as sorrow began to emerge on his face. By the time he raised his head again, the sadness in his eyes had already disappeared.

“Mr. Trevino, I have to write a report on my previous work trip, so I have to go now. I’ll come see you again tonight.”

“Sure, thank you.” Abraham’s words were kind.

It was the first time he had realized that having an extraordinarily excellent daughter wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

Theodore and Stainley were both excellent men in their respective fields, and were constantly fighting over her.

Abraham was in a dilemma.

After Stainley left, Abraham looked at Theodore and mocked, “You sure know how to talk, don’t you?”

“Dad, everyone knows that Everleigh and I are together. Besides, we already have our children. It’s normal for me to call you that.” Theodore picked up an apple and sliced it for him. His slender fingers were holding a knife, and his movements were smooth.

Abraham felt helpless. Since it was his daughter’s own business, it wasn’t good for him to say anything.

No one knew if Theodore was doing it on purpose or not, but he kept calling Abraham ‘Dad’.

When Everleigh came over, she was also surprised to hear it. Did something stimulate Theodore’s brain?

Why was he suddenly calling Abraham ‘Dad’?

“Everleigh, I brought some tea leaves for Dad, please check and see if he can consume this,” Theodore said as he stood up and handed her the tea leaves to be examined.

There were some foods that had to be avoided by heart disease patients. He didn’t know what could and couldn’t be consumed.

When she heard the way he addressed Abraham, she had an inexplicable feeling of horror in her heart.

“Theodore, did someone or something upset you?”

“No, why are you asking?”

She was speechless. She wanted to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth. It was way too soon for him to address her father that way.

Abraham leaned on the bed, as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, Leon appeared at the door with a lot of things in his hands.

“Theodore.”

Theodore’s brows knitted as he asked in a cold tone, “Why are you here?”

Leon smiled, and his handsome face was lit with joy. “I heard that Mr. Trevino is in the hospital. Theodore, why didn’t you tell me about it?” Leon sat directly in front of Abraham as if they had known each other for a long time.

He introduced himself formally, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Trevino. I’m Leon, the general manager of Allen Group. I believe you’ve heard about me.”

When Everleigh saw Leon’s nervous expression and his slightly trembling legs, she found it rather hilarious.

It must’ve been a last-minute plan for him to go over, she thought.

As expected, as soon as Leon finished his introduction, he looked into Abraham’s eyes.

He felt even more uneasy.

Theodore, however, dragged Everleigh to sit on the sofa aside. Since Leon was there to meet his future father-in-law, he should’ve been well prepared.

Theodore didn’t go there without any preparations.

“Mr. Allen, right? Have a seat. Thank you for coming over. Are you a friend of Everleigh?” Seeing that Leon was so awkward, Abraham spoke up.

When Leon was mistaken as Everleigh’s friend, he quickly shook his head. “No… I’m Selena’s boyfriend. Perhaps she hasn’t told you about it.”

Abraham was shocked when he heard that Leon was Selena’s boyfriend.

Boyfriend?

Since when did she have a boyfriend?

Furthermore, he was even a notorious ladies’ man.

He remembered everything that had happened at the previous banquet held by the Godfrey family.

How could Selena fall in love with such a person?

Everleigh and Theodore sat aside quietly as they enjoyed Leon’s ‘show’.

“Mr. Allen… I really didn’t know about this…”

“I know it’s a little abrupt for me to come at this moment, but I think you should know this.”

Everleigh wanted to laugh. It wasn’t a little abrupt; it was incredibly unexpected.

Selena had always been keeping her relationship status clean. She had never mentioned the name of a man she was seeing, let alone introduce her boyfriend.
