Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh was speechless upon hearing Cecil’s words. She couldn’t understand why she couldn’t let go of the hatred towards Leon.

He had already moved on, so there was no reason for her to hold on to it.

It was impossible to say that she couldn’t forget him, but the relationship between them had definitely soured.

Leon knew Cecil’s character, so he rolled his eyes. “Miss Cecil, are you here as a guest or are you here to mock me?”

“Of course I’m here as a guest to mock you. Can’t I?” She tilted her head and asked annoyingly.

Alastair sat on the sofa with a touch of helplessness in his eyes. He looked up and said coldly, “Aunt Cecil, it’s not right to speak like this. Although Uncle Leon’s reputation had a bad reputation, he has turned over a new leaf. Don’t you think so?”

Both Cecil and Leon were stunned, and she laughed out loud. “Yes, so he has,”

Leon’s face darkened. Alastair really had the guts to voice out his opinions.

He couldn’t understand what Alastair meant by having a bad reputation. He was a responsible person.

In other words, he wouldn’t have stayed for Selena if he was not responsible.

Selena came down from the stairs with Adrienne. As soon as they got downstairs, they heard Cecil’s laughter.

“Aunt Cecil, Mommy.” Adrienne ran over with a wide smile on her face.

“Adrienne, come here. Did you miss me?” Cecil asked with a smile, holding the girl in her arms.

Adrienne kissed her cheek and said, “Yes, I have. I miss you the most, Aunt Cecil. Why didn’t you come see me?”

“I was busy, but Adrienne, you look a lot taller.” What Cecil said was true. Children did grow up fast.

Selena looked at her without saying anything.

“Selena, let’s go. Follow me to the study room to look for Dad.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Alright.”

Leon and Selena knew that Cecil didn’t come just to make fun of him. She was there to discuss something with Everleigh.

It was inconvenient for them to be there.

“He is very observant. I didn’t notice this side of Leon before.” Looking in the direction in which they left, Cecil said, surprised.

Everleigh shook her head helplessly. Looking at Alastair and Adrienne, she said, “You two, go back to your rooms to play.”

“Okay, Mommy. You and Aunt Cecil can take your time chatting. I’ll go and see if there are any snacks to eat in the kitchen,” Adrienne went to the kitchen as she spoke. Alastair was speechless and went to the kitchen with her.

“Cecil, do you have something to tell me?”

“Did you send someone to find Diana?”

“Yes, I want to help you.” She felt uneasy with her words.

She thought that she had done something wrong.

Cecil knew that her tone was harsh, so she quickly added, “I understand. The person has called me.”

“Who is it?” Just then, Everleigh remembered the phone number Elvir gave her. She had briefly mentioned the case, but she didn’t talk about the details. Why did he call Cecil?

Cecil chuckled and said, “You’re really forgetful,”

“I just remembered. Yudell is skillful in investigations,”

Cecil lowered her eyes and said in a deep voice, “I’ve already given him the information about Diana. It’s a good idea to investigate in private. I heard from Thaud that Wilson had been coming over to the Hayes family. I sense that something is wrong over there.” What she wanted to talk about the most was this matter.

Wilson had always distanced himself from meeting with people from the Hayes family, but he took the initiative to meet up with them this time. It was a lie to say that she wasn’t suspicious about it.

“What does Wilson want from the Hayes family? Are you involved in any projects with him?” Everleigh asked in shock. She had never heard of any contacts between the Godfrey family and the Hayes family.

Cecil shook her head and glanced at her. “Everleigh, you know what kind of person Wilson is. I’m here to ask you to see whether does Theodore is capable of finding out his intentions,”

“Let me help you ask him as he should have some insights about Godfrey Group,” Everleigh said in a serious tone.

Cecil nodded.

When Abraham came down, she stopped talking. She looked at Abraham with a smile and said, “Mr. Trevino, you’ve been doing well recently, haven’t you?”

“I’ve been okay. Why didn’t you tell me that you’re here? I’ll get someone to cook some of your favorite dishes,” he said with a smile.

She waved her hand and said, “You don’t have to be so polite. It’s not my first time here.”

“Have a seat.” Abraham smiled and pointed at the sofa on the side.

Everleigh and Cecil sat down and talked about daily matters with him.

After the meal, Cecil was ready to go back. Selena and Everleigh sent her off. She glanced at Selena and asked, “What do you see in Leon?”

“What about you? What made you fall in love with him?” Selena asked in return.

“I took interest in his looks. His face is one of the best. Unfortunately, I couldn’t bear his playboy attitude.” Cecil shook her head helplessly.

Selena agreed, thinking about how Leon was also known as playboy when they were together.

Cecil sensed her agreement and continued to say, “Now, he has abandoned everything to be with you, which is enough to prove that he is sincere. I haven’t reached this point but you succeeded in letting a womanizer understand his restraints.”

Selena did not answer, but a smile appeared on her face, which was very clear.

Everleigh stood aside and didn’t interrupt. The main reason was that she hadn’t been with Leon before and it was better to just listen.

“Then hurry up and leave,”

“I am leaving now, aren’t I?” As Cecil spoke, she opened the door of the car and drove away.

Leaving the two sisters of the Trevino family at the side, Selena and Everleigh looked at each other helplessly as they couldn’t believe how fast she left.

The next day, Everleigh called Theodore and told him about Wilson’s behavior. It was the first time he had heard about it. During this period, he hardly had time for himself. How could he find out about Wilson’s whereabouts?

“I’ll take care of it.”

“You should be careful as well. God knows what Wilson is up to.”

Theodore chuckled and didn’t say a word. He just liked to hear caring words from her. There were very few people in the world who were willing to care about him.

At this time, Wilson had already arrived at the door of the Hayes family’s company. His arrival had put Jaseh, who was sitting in the office, off guard.

“Dad, why don’t I go see him,” Thaud sat on the sofa and suddenly voiced out.

Hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, “Go to the reception room and see what he wants,”

“Okay.” Thaud got up and did as told. Jaseh asked the secretary to lead Wilson to the room as well.

When Wilson entered the reception room, he thought that he would be meeting with Jaseh. Unexpectedly, he saw Thaud and asked, “Is Mr Jaseh around?”

“My father went out for a business meeting. You didn’t inform us of your arrival beforehand, or else he wouldn’t have gone out,” Thaud answered with a faint smile on his face.

Wilson let out a soft laugh. He could read the meaning behind those words.
