Chapter 591
Everleigh knew why Erine refused. When she was abroad, she heard from the other doctors that she was an insecure person, and it stemmed from her family since she was a child.
If Christopher was just fooling around, he might as well move on as soon as possible.
He frowned. "Do you think so too?"
"You are a playboy at heart, but I know that you have an unknown past. I didn't ask about your past, but I hope you can face your true feelings and care about Erine's feelings."
She believed that he was a man of principle. He was not one who forced others to do things against their will. However, it was because of this that he had to pay attention to his own discretion.
The more difficult it was to conquer a woman, the more he wanted to do so.
"Everleigh, has Erine talked to you about it?" He asked, a little nervous.
She shook her head and stared at him. It was good if he wanted to be with Erine, then the Meyer family would not have to worry too much about him.
He bit his lip and said nothing. After a long while, he mumbled, "I am sincere to Erine. It is true that I had been a playboy, but I am not a person without principles. I was not serious for anyone in the past, but for Erine, I am. I admit that my purpose at the beginning was not pure as I thought she was cute, but the more I engaged with her, the more my heart fell."
She stared at him and saw the seriousness in his eyes. She smiled and said, "Since you think that way, I will help you. Erine is a girl I like very much. She is smart, and cunning in a good way. At least her intelligence is good enough to survive in a wealthy family. Most importantly, your family likes her."
He was suspicious of her change. She had always been against him, so why would she suddenly change her mind about him?
"When there's time, I'll go with you to the Meyer family home for dinner. Invite Erine. I'll bring the children with me."
"Okay." He was a smart person. If Erine went alone, she would overthink things. However, if Everleigh joined as well, things would be different.
In the afternoon, Everleigh and Erine talked about this matter, and the latter did not want to go.
"Everleigh, I'm not going."
"Come on, Erine. I shouldn't be attending the Meyer family's banquet too. Whether you are really together or not, you should go and have a look. It would not be too late to reject him after the dinner," Everleigh said with a smile.
Erine finally agreed. She had overthought about the matter; it was right for her to repay Christopher's kindness.
"Well, you will definitely go, won't you?"
Everleigh responded with a smile, "I'm going to bring along my children. You have heard about what happened before. Vanessa likes Alastair and Adrienne."
When Erine heard that she would go, she was relieved. She also liked the children very much. The most important thing was that if she went with them, she would feel at ease.
"Everleigh, I have something to tell you. Can you help me?"
Everleigh asked, "What is it?"
"I find Christopher's attitude towards me a little strange. I feel a little uneasy. Can you help me tell him not to buy food for me all the time? I can do it with my own money." After finishing her words, Erine lowered her head, and her eyes made Everleigh more certain of her thoughts.
Family upbringing was really important. Whether a child felt inferior or not was because of their parents. If they didn't get along well and always wanted to quarrel with each other, it was easy for their children to be jealous, insecure, or bad-tempered.
Erine was the one who was insecure.
In her mind, no matter what the reason was, her mother was a mistress, and she was known as an illegitimate daughter.
Thus, it resulted in her thinking that the best route was to not get married.
"Erine, let's talk about your inner thoughts."
Erine widened her eyes and stared at her. There was a slight flash of surprise in her eyes.
"You..."
"I know it's not that you don't like Christopher. You just don't have that kind of confidence. How can a man as handsome as him fall in love with you, right? Your identity is a sore point in your heart."
Erine didn't answer her, but listened quietly. Her lovely face was full of entanglement.
"You can choose to take or ignore my advice, but I don't want you to live alone for your entire life," Everleigh said in a low voice.
"My family made me lack confidence in myself. I admit that I can stand the disdain of others, but because of this issue, I have lost the will to fall in love," Erine said with a bit of bitterness in her tone.
She found some relief in being honest about herself for the first time.
Everleigh expected it and said after a while, "Well, I can't say that Christopher is a perfect person. However, you should take up the chance. Don't refuse him all the time. If you really think you two would not work out, you can refuse him. We're all in the same hospital, and you can't..."
"Everleigh, I've decided to go abroad," Erine interrupted her and said firmly.
Everleigh's expression stiffened, and she immediately understood. "In order to avoid Christopher?"
Erine nodded and then shook her head. "I can't say it's all because of him. After all, I work abroad, so I can't stay here for a long time." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Everleigh almost forgot about it.
However, as an exchange student, it was not impossible for her to stay. Erine's performance was very good, and Benedict had told her so before.
"You can consider staying."
"I don't want to stay." Erine was accustomed to living abroad. Living here was not convenient for her.
Everleigh sighed softly. "I think it's still too early to decide. After all, your blind date is still abroad."
Everleigh's words reminded her of this matter, and she became even more upset. Why was it so difficult for her to live as she pleased?
"I... "
"Try it. There is still a month, isn't there? Maybe you will change your decision." Everleigh did not force her. Love could not be forced. If Christopher could not make her fall in love with him in a
month, it could only be said that there was no fate between them.
In the evening, the Meyer family home was extraordinarily lively, especially with Adrienne there.
Erine took a look at the girl, who looked very cute.
"Aunt Erine, you are Christopher's girlfriend. In the future, when you give birth to a baby, I will be the older sister," Adrienne suddenly said.
All the people in the room were stunned.
Everleigh was speechless. "Adrienne, don't speak nonsense."
"I'm not. It was Christopher who told me so." She was not lying; she was speaking in a serious tone.
