Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Saniogo saw the puzzled look on Annie's face and continued calmly, "Yes, the land will bring a lot of profit, but you have to know, you'll need to share it with others. Annie, this land is destined to belong to someone else."

"Why?" She asked, confused. Then, she thought of something. "Mr. Jenkins, logically speaking, among the Four Greatest Households, the Hayes family is the least involved in business, but the Jenkins family has the biggest business. Why didn't you fight for the land? Otherwise, the Godfrey family wouldn't have gotten it."

He chuckled and didn't say a word. Even if he explained it to her, she probably wouldn't understand, so it was better for him to not say anything.

Her question was left unanswered, so she didn't continue asking.

In the evening, when Alexander returned home, he told Saniogo that Yeezoo and his family had gone abroad to look for Missha.

After hearing that, Saniogo remained silent for a long moment, then finally opened his mouth and said, "Just let them be."

"But Aunt Missha..."

"Missha will agree to it. She will be delighted to know that someone is going there to help her out." Saniogo squeezed out a smile, but there wasn't the slightest hint of joy in his eyes.

Alexander was rather worried. A person like Yeezoo would never accomplish anything no matter where he went to. He was afraid that not only would Yeezoo not lighten Missha's burden, he would also bring her more trouble instead.

Annie remained silent throughout the entire conversation. Ever since Alexander criticized her the previous time, she no longer dared to talk about his family's issues. She didn't want to be hated by him.

Everleigh took a taxi home directly after work. When Theodore arrived at the hospital, she was already gone.

He knew that she was angry. Feeling helpless, he took out his phone and called her.

"Are you still mad at me?"

"I'm not angry, I just want to go home and rest early," she replied coldly, and her tone was similar to that of his that morning.

He didn't know what to do. He had never seen her act in such a way in the past.

"Everleigh, you have to understand, I'm doing this for your own good..." He tried to explain.

She had had enough of such words. "Stop using the same excuse every single time you do something behind my back. Theodore, I don't want to be the 'woman behind a successful man'. Am I really that shameful to you?" After saying that, she hung up the phone immediately.

Not only did she not calm down, she became even angrier.

Theodore's heart was filled with helplessness as he listened to the busy signal that came out of his phone. He put down his phone silently and drove straight to the Trevino family's villa.

Everleigh sat in the living room and played with Alastair and Adrienne, trying to hide the anger in her heart.

Selena had heard her speaking angrily when she was in the room next to hers. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did you two have a quarrel?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"Isn't it something normal?" Everleigh asked Selena back, which directly left her speechless.

In fact, it was normal for a couple to have squabbles.

Adrienne raised her head and asked carefully, "Mommy, why did you quarrel with Daddy?"

"Your father lied to me," she said angrily.

Alastair was displeased upon hearing that. "Let me teach him a lesson."

"Alastair, you'd better not intervene in your parents' affair. You're still too young to know about love," Selena intervened hurriedly.

Everleigh also realized that she had said something wrong. Alastair had always had a bad impression of Theodore. It would be such a shame if the father and son fell out just because of a small problem like that. Adrienne pouted and felt a little upset. Now that her mother had been hurt, she had to do something about it.

Suddenly, they heard loud sounds outside the house.

"What's that sound?" Selena and Everleigh looked at each other, got up, and walked out. When they reached the entrance, they saw heart-shaped fireworks in the sky.

The colorful fireworks lit up the sky in the dark night, and the smell of gunpowder could be smelt in the air.

It didn't dissipate for a long time.

"Who's playing with fireworks so late at night?" Selena looked around, but couldn't see a single person.

Suddenly, Everleigh remembered something. When she first got together with Theodore, he had lit fireworks for her.

It was because she had found a love letter written to him by another woman, which infuriated her.

After so many years, that memory was still sweet and wonderful.

Unexpectedly, he still remembered it, and was using the same method to coax her again.

At that moment, he walked over with a bouquet of Everleigh's favorite flowers in his hands. Adrienne spotted him, pointed over and shouted, "It's Daddy!"

The three of them then turned over to look in that direction. Theodore was walking towards them.

He looked tall and straight, and was moving over slowly.

Under the colorful night sky, his expression was solemn and indiscernible.

"Everleigh."

"What?"

"I've specially come over to apologize, please forgive me," he explained with a voice that was filled with allure and charm. His deep gaze was filled with sincerity.

If he hadn't mentioned that he was apologizing, others would've thought that it was a wedding proposal.

Adrienne and Selena exclaimed at the same time, "Wow..."

"That's it?" Everleigh questioned coldly, but the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

He could feel that she wasn't angry anymore. It was rare for him to do something romantic, but it wasn't an embarrassing thing either.

"Do you like it?"

"What if I say I don't? Are you going to prepare a surprise for me every single day?" Although she sounded upset, she had already received the flowers and held them tightly. Tulips were one of her favorite flowers.

"It's not a problem." Theodore had the ability to do so.

Being romantic was a piece of cake for him.

Selena stood aside, feeling a little envious. Why couldn't she meet a man as good as Theodore? She thought to herself.

"Alastair, Adrienne, let's go in now, let's not disturb them." Then, Selena held the two kids by the hands and went inside the house.

Everleigh looked at her watch while holding the flowers as she said calmly, "Let's go out for a walk."

The two of them then walked along the road under the street lamps. The atmosphere was especially warm. "Everleigh, there are some things that I didn't tell you, but I wasn't trying to hide it from you."

"I know, but Theodore, there are some things that I should know. After all, I am involved in it too. Do you understand?" That was the main reason she was unhappy.

It wasn't that she wasn't being understanding, but she was just being too understanding, and that was why she didn't want to live life like an idiot who knew nothing.

He sighed softly and continued, "Actually, it's the Meyer family's plan, and I don't want you to be involved."

"What does it have to do with the Meyer family?" She asked on purpose. Although she had already known what was going on, she wanted to know his point of view.

"Ysabelle has always been very busy abroad. Why would she even return just for an auction? The only explanation is that there are other problems. I've been doing business for so many years, so I'm clear about it." Although he wasn't really interested in doing business, since he had started doing it, he had to try his best and do well.

She noticed that he was extraordinarily observant, as he was able to identify the Meyer family's problems so easily.

He was from the Godfrey family as well, but the difference between him and the other members was incredibly vast. He felt a little strange when he saw that she was silent. "Why aren't you speaking?"
