Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Suddenly, Adrienne and Alastair walked into the ward. She ran over and hugged Everleigh, calling out, “Mommy.”

“Adrienne, who did you come with?”

“Daddy, but he was called away by Christopher. He’ll be here soon. We wanted to take a look at Grand-Uncle, so we came first.” After saying that, Adrienne walked over to the side of the bed to check on Saniogo.

“Grand-Uncle, are you feeling better today?” Adrienne asked in a tender voice; her big, dark eyes were full of concern.

Saniogo looked at her and his heart melted. “I’m much better now. Thank you for your concern, Adrienne.”

“Grand-Uncle, you have to get better. I am still waiting for you to watch my performance. We are performing a play called Animal Story.” When it came to this, she became interested and kept talking.

He listened with great interest. He got to know the plot of the story without even watching it. On the other hand, Alastair could not bear to look at the scene. What was the point of asking their grand-uncle to watch the show when she already told him the whole story?

“Grand-Uncle, I’ve reserved a seat for you. Everyone should go and watch it,” Adrienne said, looking excited.

Saniogo caressed her head. “Don’t worry, I will definitely be there. When will it be? Have you guys rehearsed?”

“There’s still some time. I’ll let you know when the time comes. We’re rehearsing now. I’m playing the role of a kitten while Alastair is a panda.”

Everleigh looked at him and saw a blush on his chubby face. She knew that he was embarrassed.

However, she knew that he liked pandas very much.

This time, he got what he wished for.

“Adrienne, we will go too. Since both you and Alastair will be performing, we must go and have a look,” Missha chimed in.

“Okay! Okay! Grand-Aunt, please bring more snacks. There are a few female classmates in our class who like snacks very much. I eat theirs every time, so I have to return the favor,” Adrienne said with her eyes shining.

Missha’s smile widened. “I knew that you wouldn’t miss this opportunity. Don’t worry, I’ll bring you snacks. What do you want to eat? I’ll treat you.”

“Aunt Missha, you don’t have to go through so much trouble. The children have their own things to eat.” Everleigh didn’t want her to spend too much money.

Moreover, Adrienne had eaten too many snacks. Although she had grown taller in the past year, she had gained a lot of weight too, and that could be unhealthy.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Missha was unhappy. “It’s not like I buy it for her everyday. As a parent, the children should be rewarded well since they are going to perform.”

“That’s right. Mommy, calm down. The snacks are a sign of Grand-Aunt’s love for me. I must accept it.” Adrienne looked very considerate.

Everleigh couldn’t help but laugh. This child knew how to read the room.

“Forget it, Everleigh. If the children like it, then let’s go. I’ll prepare some things for them when the time comes,” Saniogo persuaded her.

They were both children after all. Moreover, neither of them were spoiled, and they were well educated.

Everleigh was helpless. She knew that they all loved Adrienne, but she couldn’t spoil the child too much.

When Theodore came in, he heard what they were saying. He asked in confusion, “What’s there to prepare? Are we leaving?”

“We’re talking about Alastair and Adrienne’s performance,” Saniogo explained.

Theodore glanced at Adrienne and saw the excitement on her face. Then, he knew what she was up to.

He asked a few questions, then left with Everleigh and the kids. Saniogo also knew that they were tired, so he didn’t ask them to stay longer. He wanted them to go back and rest early.

In the car, both Alastair and Adrienne fell asleep. The children’s stamina was limited, unlike the adults.

“Why did Christopher look for you?”

“He told me that the person you are looking for has been found in Haviden City.”

Everleigh was stunned by his words. Since Christopher had found him, why did he tell Theodore?

Couldn’t he just talk to her directly?

He saw through her thoughts and chuckled. “He’s worried about your safety and knows that you won’t tell me about it. That’s why he sought me instead.”

She was silent for a moment. “Do you know who this person is?”

“Yeah. Why didn’t you tell me that you’re looking into this matter?” His deep voice was mixed with displeasure and his eyes were filled with coldness.

He was actually sad, rather than angry. He was her man. Why did Christopher know everything that he knew nothing about?

She held her breath and said with guilt, “I knew that you had too many things to worry about, so I couldn’t say it. I didn’t tell you later on because there were no clues. If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t have known that Derick had been found.”

He looked to the front with a hint of coldness in his eyes. He looked displeased.

After a while, she took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, “Well, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have kept it from you, okay?”

“If you’re going to force yourself to apologize, it’s better for you not to do it,” he spat out these words coldly as his eyes filled with frost.

She was speechless. Why was this man so petty? She just thought that the situation at that time was not suitable for her to tell him. There was no need to make a fuss about such a trifle.

He was even more displeased seeing that she didn’t speak for a long time. “Everleigh, can’t you just comfort me?”

“I can, but I’m afraid that you will be spoiled. Besides, it’s a woman’s right to have a temper. Why are you being like this too?” She shot back.

He was stunned for a few seconds when he saw the look on her face. Then, he burst out laughing.

He used to smile faintly, but this time, he grinned and laughed from the bottom of his heart.

“Everleigh, it seems that we’ve never had a quarrel like we had today.”

When she was about to ask him what he was laughing at, she was stunned by what he said. It seemed to be true.

They understood and supported each other. Even if they were upset, they would never quarrel. Alas, that day, they argued over a trivial matter.

It was something new for both of them.

“Yeah, it’s really the first time we’ve quarreled.”

He had a lot of smiles on his face. They had arguments before but it was never because of such a thing that they quarreled. It was different now. The estrangement between them had disappeared and their life had become more comfortable.

“It would be great if we could go on like this.”

He said with a smile, “We’ll definitely stay like this. If we quarrel over some trivial matters, maybe our relationship will get closer.”

The corners of her mouth twitched. She thought about the days far in the future. She believed that she would not be bored at that time.

She was brought back to the Godfrey Manor. Adrienne and Alastair were also carried out of the car.

Everleigh went to take a hot bath to relieve her fatigue.

By the time Theodore had finished dealing with the matter, she had already fallen asleep. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to wait for him, but she was really too tired.

He understood and didn’t say anything.

He hugged her and they fell asleep together.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Theodore’s handsome face. His eyelashes were black and thick, and his sculpted face was not as cold as before. He looked calmer.

“Take a picture. It’ll last longer.”

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and she was startled. “Wow, you scared me.”

“Are you scared because you feel guilty?”
