Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Theodore cast a cold glance at Leon and had a sense of disappointment with his performance. He had the courage to come over, but didn’t dare to speak. No one would want their own daughter to be with someone like him.

Everleigh was worried that it wouldn’t go well, so she sent Selena a message directly. Selena had just finished shooting a scene and wanted to play a video game when she saw Everleigh’s message.

She was stunned.

She asked what was going on hurriedly.

Everleigh didn’t want to say much, so she sent her a video to let her see for herself.

Selena was furious. She got up and spoke to the director, “Director, I have an emergency and have to go now. If there are any more scenes that I have to be in, we can do it when I come back .”

She left without waiting for the director to respond.

Her agent saw her in her anxious state, but before she could ask what was going on, she had already left.

What sort of urgent matter was it?

Selena drove all the way to the hospital. As soon as she entered the ward, she saw Leon holding Abraham’s hand while speaking, and his eyes were teary.

She didn’t know what they were talking about.

“Leon.” She walked in in a black suit, and a hint of anger appeared on her delicate face.

Everyone in the room looked at her. Selena walked over and asked angrily, “What are you doing?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“I’m here to see Dad. What’s the matter?”

When Everleigh heard that, she almost spat out the mouthful of water that she was drinking.

Was it a grand meeting with their father-in-law? She pondered.

Theodore patted her back. There was a glimmer in his eyes.

Selena didn’t notice what Everleigh and Theodore were doing, but walked over and glared at Leon. “What nonsense are you talking about? He is my father, but how are you even related to him?”

Leon looked up with his reddish eyes. “How is he not related to me? He is indeed my father-in-law. It’s just a matter of time before it becomes reality.”

“A matter of time? I have nothing to do with you. Leon, you’d better get lost now.” Selena grabbed his clothes and dragged him out.

Leon immediately held Abraham’s arm with grievance and said, “Dad, look at her. This is how she treats me all the time.”

Abraham also felt it was a little inappropriate for her to behave like that. “Selena, let go of him. He’s our guest after all. How can you drive him away like this?”

She was infuriated when she heard that.

Leon winked at her, which made her even more enraged.

“Alright, come and have a seat. Leon came to visit our father, so you can’t be so rude to him.” Everleigh held Selena and sat down to make Leon less embarrassed.

He then complained while sobbing badly, as if everything that Selena had done was wrong, and that it would be a great sin if she didn’t get together with him.

Hearing those words, Abraham was lost for words.

In fact, Selena was already a grown-up, so she could make her own decisions. As her father, he couldn’t do nor say much.

“Dad, I know I used to be famous for all the wrong reasons, but please don’t judge a book by its cover. I have really changed. I know Selena has a prejudice against me, but I’m already trying my best. Can’t you just give me a second chance?” Leon’s voice was filled with grievance and regret.

Selena was already fuming. If she was to get together with him, it would be the greatest joke of all time.

Everleigh, on the other hand, was enjoying the fun and didn’t mind Leon making a big deal out of it.

However, he seemed to be genuinely remorseful, so she couldn’t simply make a conclusion.

After all, people could change.

“Mr. Allen, I can’t do anything about your relationship with Selena. If she accepts you, I won’t say anything about it,” Abraham sighed.

Upon hearing that, a hint of delight flashed across Leon’s eyes, and Theodore noticed his expression and raised his eyebrows.

That brat actually had such a plan in mind.

“Um… Dad, it’s already noon, let me go order you some food,” Theodore said.

Leon and Selena were both shocked when they heard his words.

“Dad?” Leon was astonished. What was going on? Had Abraham accepted him already?

Theodore raised his eyebrows slightly, and his cold gaze softened a little, as if he was implying that he was already qualified to call Abraham ‘Dad’.

Leon looked at Selena, and she was surprised as well. It was impossible. Was she dreaming? Why was everyone so weird that day? She thought to herself.

After lunch, the few of them left. Selena even slapped Leon. Despite this, he acted as if nothing had ever happened, and he wouldn’t be angry no matter how hard she slapped him.

In the afternoon, when Everleigh was on duty, Cecil came over.

She was relieved to see that Everleigh was fine.

“What’s wrong with you? Why are you always in so much trouble?”

“What’s wrong with you then? You only visit me every time after everything is settled,” Everleigh crossed her arms, as if she was dissatisfied with her late visit.

Cecil rolled her eyes at her and sat down. “I was really busy, so I didn’t come to see you. Besides, you had so many people to help you out. Did you even need my help?”

Everleigh pursed her lips and said nothing. After a long while, she finally spoke, “What happened to you?”

“What else could it be? It’s Diana, of course. That d*mned girl. If it weren’t for my parents, I would’ve killed her long ago.” When Cecil mentioned that, she was extremely agitated.

Everleigh didn’t respond. It was Cecil’s family’s business, so she shouldn’t intervene in it.

However, if help was needed, she would lend a helping hand at any time.

“By the way, I have something to tell you. There will be a wine tasting event tomorrow night. Let’s go together and relax.”

The main reason was that the Hayes family had to show up for the event, but none of them were free, except for Cecil. It would be boring for her to go alone, so she wanted to ask Everleigh to go together with her.

Everleigh thought about it for a while and agreed. It had been a long time since they last went out together. If she didn’t go, she wouldn’t have any friends left.

She initially had a dinner with Theodore, but now, she had to put it off.

When he heard about it, he asked, “Is it the M&U’s wine tasting?”

“How do you know? Were you invited as well?” Everleigh had almost forgotten that his current social status was even higher than before.

He let out a laugh. “You’re thinking too much. I do have an invitation, but I really don’t have the time to go as I have a business meeting with someone else. Since you’re interested, I’ll ask Moses to pass you the ticket. You go ahead. I’ll go to my meeting.”

It was rare for her to be interested in an event, so he wanted her to relax a little.

She accepted it happily.

The next day, Everleigh and Cecil arrived at the wine tasting early. Looking at the plethora of bottles of wine on the table, they felt rather helpless.

“If we were to finish all of these, we would probably get drunk.”

“Just drink less. There must be a few that you like after trying some,” Cecil said as she picked up a glass of wine and took a sip.

The fragrance of wine lingered in her mouth.

The bittersweet smell was also very pleasant.

“This is not bad. Give it a try.”

Everleigh took the wineglass and had a sip. It tasted nice.

On her way there, Theodore had told her that she could buy any type of wine that she liked to be drunk at home. After all, the house was very big, and it needed some decoration and display items.

“Let me buy this.”

“Don’t make your decision in a hurry. There are other fine wines to choose from.” Cecil pulled her to a seat aside.

Just as she walked over and wanted to pick up a glass of wine, a person dressed in a light yellow dress walked over to them.

“Are you… Everleigh?”
