Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied
Chapter 472 Care for Her More

Alastair looked at Everleigh's face from the side, thought for a moment and said, "Every time you get to eat pork chops, you'll be very happy, but today you're not, so I'm sure you're unhappy." "I'm fine."

"Mommy, why are you sad?" He asked seriously. He wanted his mother to be carefree. In the past, even though life was tough, they lived joyfully everyday.

Ever since they returned, she looked less cheerful day by day.

"I will be going abroad for ten days, and you two must behave yourselves. Don't make your grandfather worried. Also, if your grand-uncle visits you, please talk to him. He loves the both of you very much." She didn't answer his question.

After hearing that, Adrienne frowned and said, "Mommy, Grand-Uncle is really kind to us, but the others don't like us, and they even call us nasty names, like illegitimate children."

Everleigh felt even more upset.

"You are not illegitimate children. You are my dear children. No matter what others say in the future, don't mind them, okay?"

"I know. We have a loving Daddy too!" Adrienne exclaimed delightfully. As she talked about Theodore, she immediately took out her phone and called him.

He picked up her call instantly. He would never reject it.

As Everleigh listened to their conversation, her gloomy mood dissipated.

As Adrienne chatted with Theodore over the phone, she mentioned to him that Everleigh was going abroad.

His heart skipped a beat when he heard about it. "Is Mommy with you? Can you pass her the phone?"

"Okay," she responded and handed the phone over to Everleigh.

She said helplessly, "Hang up the call now. I'll call him back later. I'm driving."

"Alright." Adrienne reacted quickly and hung up the phone directly.

Before Everleigh could call him back, Theodore called again. "Everleigh, why are you going abroad?"

Listening to his anxious tone, she was puzzled. "What's wrong with you?"

"Answer me, why are you going abroad?" He sounded very troubled, and there was an obvious hint of anger in his words.

He was truly scared. He was afraid that Everleigh would leave him for another few years. He didn't want to lose her anymore.

She chuckled, "Relax. I'm just going for a ten-day exchange program. Actually, just treat it as a ten-day vacation. I was planning to tell you about it tomorrow, and ask if you would like to go with me." Upon hearing her words, he became slightly awkward. "So, are you going on a vacation?"

"No... Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow."

She remembered what had happened when they went to the Jenkins family's home previously. She shouldn't hide any secrets from him anymore.

"Okay then."

The next morning, after waking up, she went straight to meet Theodore. He had been waiting for her. Of course, he had prepared breakfast for her too. "Have some food."

Everleigh didn't say anything. After putting down her purse, she sat down and began to eat.

The food tasted just like the one he previously made. She smiled and said, "Your cooking skills have really improved."

"Really?"

"When you cooked for me the last time, I can already taste it. Sure enough, this is my only weakness." She smiled bitterly. She had no chance to improve in the kitchen.

A rare smile appeared on his face. "It's okay, I can cover up your weakness. Hurry up and eat."

She wasn't shy and she ate quite a lot of food. She remembered that the food she prepared the previous time tasted really bad. If he could finish her horrible food, she must return the favor by eating up his food. The food that he prepared tasted much better than hers.

"Are you full?"

"Yes, I'm full." Everleigh nodded.

"Okay, let's talk about it now. Tell me, why are you going abroad?"

She picked up a teacup on the table and smiled faintly. It was a little cold in late autumn, so a cup of hot tea could really warm her body up.

"Theodore, I've been doing something this whole time, and Christopher has been helping me with it."

"Tell me about it," Theodore's heart ached a little when he heard Christopher's name, but he managed to control his emotion.

"After I returned to the Jenkins family, I found out that my parents' deaths weren't an accident. Saniogo has been investigating, and that private investigator, Elvir, is helping me too. I've found clues that someone tampered with the plane before the incident happened. That person is now abroad, working in my aunt's company. I want to use this medical exchange program as an excuse to replace him." She finally opened up to him.

She made the long story as short as possible.

When he listened to the story, he could feel that she was dying to know the truth of the incident.

"I'll go with you."

"Aren't you busy?" She raised her eyebrows. Despite this, she had already expected his answer.

He shook his head. "You're always like this. Whenever you're in trouble, you always want to take it on your own. Am I a dead person to you?"

Everleigh's face froze as she responded embarrassedly, "Don't say that. I just want you to be more relaxed. Besides, it's not too late for you to know now, right?"

The corners of Theodore's lips curled up slightly.

She was right, it wasn't too late.

She made the whole matter clear to him that morning, and he instructed Moses to start an investigation too. "When are you leaving?"

"The day after tomorrow. I'm not really busy at the hospital." That was also the reason why she could meet him.

There were many things that she had to prepare for her trip, so she naturally didn't have time to focus on her work.

Two days had passed in the blink of an eye. At the airport, Christopher was surprised to see Theodore there. "Why is he here?"

"Of course I'm going with you two," Theodore interrupted.

Christopher turned his head and looked at Everleigh with great dissatisfaction. "What is this?"

"The three of us are going together. I just found out about this too," Theodore explained. He didn't want her to be put in a difficult position. Christopher snorted coldly, "Mr. Godfrey, your kindness is a little too late, isn't it? Everything is almost settled, and you're just joining us now."

Upon hearing it, Theodore felt very displeased. "If you two haven't been hiding it from me, I would've known it way earlier."

Christopher sneered mockingly after hearing his words. "I'm really glad to see your reaction like that. However, Theodore, there's something I have to remind you. If you really love Everleigh, you should've noticed it from her actions, and not just expect her to tell you everything."

Theodore didn't argue back. Christopher's words did make sense.

If he had paid more attention to her actions and words, he would've found out about it long ago.

"I'm sorry, Everleigh."

"It's okay." After saying that, she glanced at Christopher. That guy was a genius. He was the one at fault, but he somehow managed to shift the blame on someone else.

She couldn't help but admire him for it.

The three of them then boarded the plane. After they arrived at Maniville, Everleigh sent Missha a message to tell her that the hospital had arranged her accommodation as it was a business trip.

After Christopher knew where he would be staying, he looked at Theodore cockily and said, "I'm sorry, I guess you can't stay with us."
