Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Lightning flashed in the alley, and thunderous roars were followed. Her vision gradually blurred, and she could see plenty of overlapping figures approaching her.

“Ahh!”

Everleigh woke up from the sofa screaming, and the pillow on her chest seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. She was like a drowning person, gasping for breath. On the opposite side was the balcony. The sound of rain hitting against the windows was the same as the rain in her dream.

After a long while, she regained her senses. Cold sweat broke out all over her body, and she sat on the sofa in a daze.

She kept recalling this dream that was based on her memories over and over again. Suddenly, it seemed like she made a connection, and she suddenly understood something.

Seven years ago, on the night of the Foreign Language Institute’s graduation party, Josephine, who had never gotten drunk before, suddenly drank a lot of wine. She was drunk, so Everleigh had asked Theodore to send her home.

That night, even though Everleigh said she was going to accompany Josephine, she was actually there for Theodore. She did not drink any alcohol that night too since she still had experiments to do. She needed to go back to school after that night.

The university was not far from the location of the graduation party held by the Foreign Language Institute. It would not take her more than ten minutes to reach there, so Theodore had allowed her to go back by herself.

Josephine set everything up; she took every detail into consideration. She even believed that if Everleigh took her back to the dormitory to stay temporarily, Josephine would have other ways to make her face the nightmares of that rainy night.

At the thought of this, she clenched her fists. The sound of her flesh rubbing against her skin was exceptionally clear in the room.

However, there was one thing bugging her that she could not understand.

The reason Josephine started to drink so much could be regarded as her wanting Theodore to send Everleigh away to make things easier for her, but how and when was Everleigh drugged? She could not figure that out at all.

When did that happen?

Did anything go wrong on the day of that banquet?

Even though seven years had passed, she would still go through all the details of that banquet when she was free, so she remembered every last detail about it clearly too.

She remembered that day, she had only drunk juice throughout. Halfway through, her glass was accidentally knocked over by another person; that person even gave her another glass.

A face gradually appeared in her mind.

It was William.

It rained the whole night, but the sun shone brightly in the morning. The water and dew on the ground all dried up under the sun, and there were no longer any traces of the rain.

At the president’s office of the Godfrey Group, Moses hurriedly knocked on the door and went in with a document in her hand.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mr. Godfrey.”

“Just in time.” Theodore looked up from behind the desk and tapped the contract in front of him. “Send all these contracts to the Minister of Justice’s Department. Ask them to look through them first. There will be a meeting at 10 o’clock.”

“Yes,” Moses nodded. After a moment of hesitation, he handed over the leather envelope in his hand and said, “Mr. Godfrey, this is the result of the paternity test we have just received from the hospital. Please have a look.”

Theodore was signing something and his hands paused. Soon, a thick black dot appeared on the paper where his pen paused.

He tore open the leather envelope, and there were two paternity tests results inside.

His slender fingers flipped through the two paternity tests and he skipped to the last page. When he saw the results, his eyes immediately turned cold.

The paternity tests revealed that he did not have any relations to her two children.

Although he’d already anticipated such a result, his face darkened when the reality of it was shown in front of him. He must have been crazy to think that he would have anything to do with the children.

If the two children really had something to do with him, then why would Everleigh want to break up with him, and why would she suddenly want to go abroad? None of it made any sense.

It was all clear now. It was just as he expected, Everyleigh had fallen for another man, she cheated on him and got pregnant with another man’s child, so she gave birth abroad.

At the thought of this, his face turned extremely gloomy; it was as cold as a piece of metal.

Moses cautiously looked at Theodore’s expression. He could not help but shiver, but he still forced himself to ask, “Mr. Godfrey, yesterday, you said to send someone over to help Dr. Trevino handle the enrollment problems for her children…”

Before Moses could finish speaking, Theodore interrupted coldly, “There’s no need for that.”

Moses’s face turned pale and cold sweat came out of his forehead. He whispered, “But Mr. Godfrey, when we went to the Education Bureau to deal with it this morning, we found out that someone has helped Dr. Trevino settle it.”

Theodore’s cold gaze swept over him. “Settled it?”

“Yes.” Moses bit the bullet. “The other party’s identity is a mystery. Not even the Education Bureau will reveal anything. For now, we may not be able to find out who did it.”

…

“Mr. Godfrey, should I get his identity?”

There was a cold expression on his face as he held the paternity test results tightly in his hands, “No, in the future, do not mention a single word about her to me.”

“Yes.” Moses held the contract in his arms, looking like he was walking on thin ice, “Mr. Godfrey, I will go to the legal department first.”

Theodore did not respond; it seemed like he did not hear him.

With a thud, the door of the office closed, and only silence remained in the big house. The sound of the door closing was the only thing that could be heard.

After a long time, a ‘bang’ could be heard and the two sets of paternity test results were thrown into the trash can. The trash can spun around twice on the spot, and it only reverted to its firm position after a while.

A week later, in Pacific International Airport of Ocpeace City.

The plane flew across the sky and left a white substance behind it. It landed on the runway and glided for some distance before it slowed down. Finally, it stopped in its desired position.

Everleigh arrived 10 minutes in advance in the hall of the airport.

The airport broadcast was reporting the landing flights and locations of people’s luggage.

“Look! It’s Christopher!” Adrienne’s voice could be heard from the side of Everleigh’s legs. Before Everleigh could react, Adrienne already ran towards the tall and thin figure from a distance.

“Addie!” Christopher lifted Adrienne up and spun around in a circle. Then he held Adrienne firmly in his arms and placed his face near her.

Adrienne smiled and kissed him on the cheek. “What took you so long?”

Christopher tapped her nose. “I’ve told you before that the boys around here are not as handsome as I am. I told you not to come back in such a hurry, yet you wouldn’t believe me.”

Adrienne rubbed her nose. From the corners of her eye, she saw the beautiful woman next to him. She seemed to be the woman who left the plane with Christopher. She looked at her and examined her.

The little girl looked around and suddenly asked, “Daddy, who is this woman?”

“Daddy? You already have a daughter?” The expression on the beautiful woman’s face changed.

Christopher was stunned. Before he could explain, a business card was thrown in his face. “Keep your business card, scum!”

He shouted, “Ah… ”

When Everleigh and Alastair slowly came over, the beauty had already left.

Christopher stared at Everleigh. “You! You destroyed my lovely encounter. How are you going to compensate me!”

Everleigh held his arm and looked at him, she looked at him thoroughly and said with a faint smile, “How about I personally castrate you?”
