Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh was the one who was most embarrassed. People might assume that she was the one who had taught Adrienne to say so.

“Erine, I’m sorry, I…”

“It doesn’t matter. Adrienne has always been smart and I like her very much.” Erine was not angry, and she knew that the child’s words were harmless.

In addition, she had often said something similar when she was a child.

Christopher looked at the girl and chuckled. “Adrienne is right. Don’t you want to be an older sister?” Then, he put his arm around Erine’s shoulder, trying to close the distance between them.

Adrienne nodded repeatedly. Of course she thought about it.

Erine ignored the hand on her shoulder. She was used to such intimacy.

Felicia and Ysabelle looked at Erine and smiled at each other.

“Erine, come over if you have time. The Meyer family will always welcome you.” Felicia still had a cold attitude, but her eyes were a little gentler.

“Alright.”

After the meal, Everleigh took Alastair and Adrienne back, while Erine stayed after dinner, as requested by Christopher.

When Erine was sending Everleigh off, she said softly, “I’ll consider your suggestion.”

Everleigh turned around and chuckled. “It’s good if you’re willing to do it. You’ve seen the Meyer family’s attitude today. If Christopher dares to treat you badly, I believe his sisters would not let him off the hook so easily. If you still don’t trust him, you can have him resign, and you can be the one supporting the family.”

Hearing her words, Erine laughed and said, “Can I do that?”

“If you don’t believe it, you can have Felicia and Ysabelle talk with Christopher. I’m sure you’ll be overwhelmed,” Everleigh sighed.

Erine smiled and didn’t say anything. She didn’t take it to heart.

Christopher proposed to play poker so that Erine would not be bored. She played once before, so she knew the rules well.

He sat by her side and guided her, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

“It seems that my pockets won’t be able to hold all the money I’m winning.”

“Don’t worry, Ysabelle. I won’t win all of them.” Erine chuckled, and the smile on her face never stopped. It seemed that she liked this atmosphere very much.

They didn’t stop until it was well past ten o’clock.

Erine was very tired from working the whole day, so she went straight back to the guest room to rest. However, the Meyer family were all in the living room, talking about something.

“Erine is an insecure child. Don’t worry, she’s one of the Meyer family now.” Vanessa was very sympathetic towards Erine’s family background. No one was willing to be an illegitimate child. She was upset that she had to grow up with such parents.

“Mom, why didn’t you let her hear that?”

Hearing this, Felicia could not help criticizing him. “It’s so easy for you to say that. Why didn’t you give her some warmth when you were after her?”

“That’s different. Her psychological defense is too strong. I felt that I couldn’t squeeze in,” Christopher said helplessly.

If it wasn’t for Everleigh’s help, Erine would not have come over that day.

Vanessa agreed with his words. “Forget it. Let’s listen to Christopher. She has been through enough.”

“Mom, you can try to get to know her better.” He decided to get some help.

He would get the entire Meyer family to be involved.

The next morning, Everleigh received a phone call from Erine, inviting her to a shopping trip.

“That was sudden,” Everleigh said once she found out what was going on.

“I don’t know either. His mother said she would like to go shopping with me.” Erine didn’t know what to do, so she called her.

Everleigh instantly understood what was going on.

“Okay, I’ll go.” After hanging up the phone, she changed her clothes and followed them to the mall. When she arrived at the place, she saw that Vanessa and Erine had bought many things, so much so that Erine’s hands were full.

“When did you arrive?”

“Only just so.”

“You bought so many things as soon as you arrived?” Everleigh was surprised. It was as if they were going to buy the whole shop.

Vanessa chuckled and said, “Let’s go. We are going to buy dresses. I heard that there are some new arrivals.” She took them to another shop.

Everleigh and Erine could be regarded as the first and last daughter-in-law, so it was not good for them to show up together all the time.

However, Vanessa didn’t care about this and went in with them.

“Try these dresses. I’m in a good mood today, and I’ll pay the bill,” Vanessa turned around and said. Everleigh and Erine looked at each other. “Hurry up and choose. I’ll take you to eat some delicious food later. I heard that they have launched many new restaurants.”

Erine didn’t move. They had bought a lot already, and she didn’t know how to return the money.

“Hello! Are you having difficulty in choosing the outfits?” Seeing their appearances, the shop assistant knew that they were wealthy. She walked over flatteringly.

“Help choose an outfit for each of them,” Vanessa instructed.

The shop assistant, who had good taste, nodded. After choosing the clothes suitable for the two of them, they took the clothes and walked into the dressing rooms.

Erine was the first to come out. Seeing the price tag on the clothes, she was stunned. Although she was from the Harrison family, she was self-sufficient.

These big brands were beyond her imagination.

“Oh my, you were born to be a model! Look, you look stunning in this dress. I’ll ask Christopher to bring you shopping next time.” Vanessa looked at Erine with amazement.

She was wearing an off shoulder, light yellow dress, and her delicate collar bone was exposed. With her lovely face, she looked gorgeous.

“I’ll take this…” Before Vanessa finished her words, she heard a voice coming from the door. “Look who’s here. It turned out to be you.”

Erine’s face stiffened. She could recognize the voice anywhere.

“Erine, do you think you are qualified to wear such a dress?”

Vanessa and Erine looked at the person who came through the door. She was dressed in a red dress, and even makeup was not enough to mask her ugly personality. She was trying to give off a delicate vibe.

“Shreya, why are you here?”

“I’m here to have fun. What are you doing here? Don’t tell me you’re trying to seduce other men because you’re wearing good clothes.”

“You…” Erine was about to say something, but Vanessa stopped her.

She looked at her with reproach. “Erine, here is where you’re wrong.”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Erine listened to her words and was stunned. Not only Erine, but Everleigh, who just came out of the fitting room had heard Vanessa’s words, too. What did she mean?

“I guess scum will always be scum. There’s no need for us to argue with such trash, right? It’ll just lower our own class too,” Vanessa said earnestly.

Everleigh, who was standing at the side, almost laughed out loud. Mocking people didn’t seem like it was her style.

“Vanessa.”

“Oh, we’re family. Don’t be so polite. What I’m telling you is for your own good. Listen to me,” Vanessa interrupted Erine.

By the time Shreya heard this, she was already fuming with rage. “How dare you scold me, you old woman.”

“You heard that? That’s the behavior of a typical scum who doesn’t know how to respect others. I think beggars are more polite than she is,” Vanessa continued.

Erine couldn’t help but laugh. “Vanessa, I find that what you said is very reasonable.”

“Shut up, old woman. Do you know who I am?”
