Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

“Thank you.”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Although Everleigh thanked Theodore, he had no intention of letting her go. Everleigh gritted her teeth and struggled, but a cold voice rang her ears. “There are so many people here. Are you planning to give yourself a good slap in the face? You’re going to tell everyone that I’m not your fiance?”

She froze and stopped resisting.

Gossip was a terrible thing. It was detrimental when it came from her relatives and friends. Earlier, she felt like a century had passed, and she never wanted to experience it again.

After a long stalemate, Theodore let go of her.

Everleigh was taken aback. After a while, she whispered, “Thank you.”

“You’re not planning to explain about the kids?”

Everleigh’s heart skipped a beat. She forced herself to sound calm. “Explain what?”

Theodore’s eyes studied her and replied word by word, “Alastair said that I’m his father.”

Everleigh’s pupils suddenly contracted and she took a step back.

“What are you afraid of?” Theodore’s gaze was fixated on her.

“They have nothing to do with you.” Everleigh blurted out without thinking. She tried to lower her voice, but she hoped she sounded convincing. However, it came out clumsy and awkward. She looked very guilty with her pale face.

The air was still. Although the hall was noisy and the music was loud, she could hear her heartbeat.

Theodore wanted to question her but he heard an old man’s voice. “Mr. Godfrey.”

It was Abraham, Everleigh’s father.

After chatting with the relatives, Abraham finally made time to meet his ‘son-in-law’ who appeared out of the blue.

Theodore’s dark eyes were composed again. “Uncle.”

“You and Everleigh,” Abraham began hesitantly. He glanced around with the corner of his eyes. He made sure that there were no other relatives except his family members before he continued, “Are you really Everleigh’s boyfriend?”

“Dad.” Everleigh was behind Theodore as she chipped in hurriedly, “I’ll explain this…”

“Yes.” Theodore’s firm reply made Everleigh swallow her words.

Meanwhile, Selena’s face changed. She stepped forward and retorted swiftly, “How is that possible? Mr. Godfrey, your fiancee is…”

“Miss Trevino.” Before Selena could finish her sentence, Theodore interrupted her. He snapped coldly, “You’re a public figure, and you should be careful with your behavior. If you destroy your sister’s reputation, it won’t do any good to the Trevino family.”

“I ruined her reputation? She’s lying. She’s the one who destroyed our family’s reputation.”

“Is that so?” Theodore glared at Selena coldly and asked, “Who brought the kids here?”

It was a short question but it directly hit the mark..

That was right, who brought the kids?

Everleigh suddenly realized the problem. No matter how bold the twins were, it was impossible for them to attend the birthday party on their own. Someone must have brought them to the venue.

Selena’s face froze and she avoided Theodore’s gaze.

Theodore did not mince his words. He concluded, “I asked Alastair and he said that his aunt sent him here.”

Aunt?

Everleigh stared at her sister. Even though she guessed it, she was really disappointed when the truth was out. Selena was her biological sister.

Abraham’s face darkened as well.
