Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh had discussed this matter with Theodore before, but he did not want to make a big deal out of it. After all, Helen had “died”. Her “death” had been witnessed by everyone. It would be strange to have a grand birthday party for her.

It would probably scare a lot of people out of their wits.

Furthermore, Helen’s wish was for the family to have a simple meal together. Since that was the case, they had to give up on the idea.

“Alright. In a few days, I’ll have them all come over and stay for a few days.” Saniogo was fond of this idea. It was a rare chance for them to be together.

“Alright.”

On the day of Helen’s birthday party, Theodore, Xavier, Alexander, Cecil, Christopher, and Erine came.

They were all friends of the family. Since it was Helen’s birthday, they were here to congratulate her.

“Madam Scott, happy birthday. This is a gift from us.” Christopher was a charmer. He quickly handed the gift to her.

She looked at the gift box and smiled. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” He waved his hand like a happy boy.

Alastair and Adrienne were in their party outfits as they walked towards her. “Great-Grandma, happy birthday to you.”

“Thank you, my darlings. Here’s a little gift for you two.”

“Grandma, you don’t have to do that. It’s your birthday.” Everleigh quickly stopped her.

Helen insisted on giving it to them, so Everleigh had no choice but to give up.

“Just let Grandma do what she wants. As long as she’s happy, she’ll feel better.” Theodore gently tugged at her and told her not to say anything else.

Everleigh lowered her head and looked at the two children. In fact, they did not care about this. They would happily accept any gifts from their great grandmother.

“Alright then. Why don’t you two thank Great-Grandma?”

“Thank you, Great-Grandma.”

“Everleigh, come here. We’re waiting for you to start,” Cecil shouted while pointing to the poker table.

Everleigh found it funny. This was a birthday party, but they were thinking of playing poker.

What on earth were they thinking?

Helen saw it and said with a smile, “Good timing! I haven’t played in a long time. Let me join in the fun today.”

“That’s great! Come here quickly.” As soon as Cecil said that, she helped Helen to the table. Then, they started the round of poker with Xavier and Erine.

The rest of the people were preparing dinner.

Everleigh leaned against the door of the kitchen and looked at the scene inside the house. She sighed and said, “How nice it would be if things stayed peaceful like this. No fights, no disputes, no arguments. This is the best life can get.”

“Well, it is possible if you believe in it,” Theodore said softly from behind her.

“Really? I don’t think so.” She smiled wryly. She obviously felt happy now, but the more she thought about it, the more scared she felt. She was afraid that this happiness would last for just a brief moment.

Theodore looked at the sentimental Everleigh, “The storm may be coming, but there will be people holding an umbrella to shield you from the rain. Just like right now, I’m by your side. No matter what happens, I’ll be the first to come to your side.”

She raised her head and looked into his eyes, which were as deep as an abyss. She was lost in thought for a second.

“I feel much more at ease now.”

“Is that so? You’ll feel this quite a bit in the future.” He lowered his head and kissed her gently on the lips.

She smiled lightly and said, “Since when did you learn to talk like this?”

“True love taught me. These are all words from the bottom of my heart,” he said proudly.

She could not help but think that he was adorable.

When he heard their conversation in the kitchen, he said sourly, “The two of you, enough of that.”

“Do you have a problem with people in love?”

“That’s not the case. I’m just feeling unlucky recently,” Christopher muttered.

Looking at Erine, who was sitting in the other room, his eyes were filled with grief.

Everleigh forgot to ask him about his matters since he said he would deal with the Harrison family.

“By the way, didn’t you say that you were going to meet the Harrison family? Why do you look so sad?”

“Erine’s father insists on Erine marrying Maverick. He already recognizes him as his son-in-law. I don’t get why they are so stubborn. They just want to be related to the Laneigh family.”

Theodore and Everleigh looked at each other and asked, “Didn’t Maverick bring Ysabelle back home?”

“They went over last night, but I don’t know what happened. After all, I don’t know any members of the Laneigh family,” Christopher said helplessly.

Theodore frowned slightly. “The Laneigh family has their own interests. The Meyer family and Harrison family are much better. Don’t worry, Ysabelle will be fine.”

“How do you know for sure?”

“You’ll know when she comes back. Just do whatever you should for the Harrison family. Although it isn’t the right thing, it’s for the person you love,” Theodore supported him.

Christopher raised his eyebrows slightly. If that was the case, he would not hold back.

At the poker table, they were having a good time. Helen was the biggest winner that day, but the others did not seem to care as they wanted her to have fun on her birthday.

Adrienne was on the sofa eating.

When Alastair saw her, he could not bear to look at her. “Can’t you eat less? We’re having dinner soon.”

Adrienne looked in the direction of the kitchen and saw that Christopher was busy cooking. She quickly shook her head and said, “Forget it. I don’t think that Christopher’s cooking is that good.”

“At least it’s edible.”

“That won’t do. Taste is the soul of food. Only you don’t think it matters,” she explained as if she was a food expert.

He sighed softly and continued to play with his mobile phone.

The day passed by quickly. Helen was smiling from ear to ear all day. With Christopher around, she was definitely having a good time.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

In the evening, everyone left one after another, but Alastair and Adrienne stayed. Since it was Helen’s birthday that day, they would naturally accompany her.

“Well, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

“Okay.” The children were not in a hurry. For them, it was the same no matter where they stayed.

At this moment, on the other side, Missha was in her own room. She was looking at the data on the computer. She found out that the jewelry was in Theodore’s hands.

In other words, he knew of Revainge’s true identity.

A cold light flashed in her eyes as she took her bag and went out.

When she went downstairs, she saw Saniogo sitting in the living room drinking tea.

“Saniogo, why are you still up?”

“Aren’t you the same? Sit down and have a chat,” he said as he poured her a cup of tea.

Her eyes sank slightly, but she still sat down.

He looked at the bag in her hand. “Are you going out?”

“Yeah, I’m going out for a drink with my friends.”
