Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh understood what Erine was feeling at the moment, but the reality was always different. Christopher was sincere. She shouldn’t keep herself away from him all the time. It wouldn’t do anyone any good.

“Think about it. If you insist on going back, I won’t stop you. It’s just that someone will be sad.”

Erine heard what she said and her cheeks turned slightly red. Obviously, she was stimulated by her words.

Everleigh did not say anything else. She could only go back and tell Christopher the truth.

Upon hearing this, he felt even upset. He said sadly, “What do you mean? Didn’t you say you’d help me make her stay?”

“If you do this, it will have a reverse effect. You have chased after so many girls, don’t you already know this? There is a knot in Erine’s heart. If you keep forcing her like this, she will break down,” she explained, exasperated.

What was this guy thinking? He was a pro when giving advice to others, but why could he become so insensible when it came to himself?

If he tried a little harder, he wouldn’t fail.

“What do you mean by that?”

“I mean, you should show more concern to Erine these three days. If you really can’t, ask for a leave. I’ll help you keep an eye on her and you try your best to convince her. Didn’t Mrs. Meyer also get involved last time? If you can’t do it alone, you can mobilize the whole family. I don’t believe Erine won’t give you a chance,” Everleigh’s crisp voice echoed through the office. Excitement was shown across her face as she spoke.

Hearing this, the corner of Christopher’s mouth twitched slightly. Why did he feel that this was what he had said before? Why did it sound different when the words came out from her mouth?

That didn’t make sense.

“Do you hear me?”

“Yes I did. Everleigh, don’t you think you sound a lot like me just now?” He asked in a weak voice.

She was stunned. She thought about it, and it seemed to be true. People often said that one’s character would always be influenced by the environment and people surrounding them. Perhaps she was influenced by him?

That was too dramatic.

The next day, Christopher asked for a leave and went straight to Erine. Everleigh was very busy. She had to take over his patients.

At noon, she came to Saniogo’s ward, exhausted. He couldn’t bear to see her wolf down her food. “Everleigh, do you want some rest? Look at you. You seem like you haven’t had a good night’s rest.”

“It’s okay. It’s our job; it’s what we do,” she waved her hand and said indifferently.

Ever since Cecil came, she didn’t go back home but stayed with Alexander to take care of Saniogo. Missha went back instead. No matter how young she looked, physically, she was already in her late 40s so it was hard for her to keep up with them. There was no reason for her to keep staying there for Saniogo. They might as well send her home so she could manage the family’s affairs too.

Cecil picked up some food for her and said faintly, “Was it because of Christopher’s love affair that made your number of patients increase?”

Everleigh nodded and said, “I supported it too. Erine wanted to go back, but Christopher was unwilling to let her go. He wanted to take advantage of these three days to have a good talk with her, so I helped him.”

Cecil was even more disdainful of him. She sneered, “Wasn’t he the one who claimed to have slept with all the women in the world? How did he manage to fall for Erine?”

“There is an exception to everything.” Everleigh disagreed with her words.

They were friends after all. There was no reason to make fun of him.

“Cecil, Everleigh is just being kind. Don’t put it that way. Besides, aren’t you friends with Christopher?” Saniogo asked with a smile.

She listened to his words and replied helplessly, “Christopher is known for being a playboy. We all know that, obviously. It’s kind of embarrassing to have a friend like him.”

“You should know that a fault confessed is half redressed. Besides, I think Christopher is an upright person. It’s rare for him to have someone he likes, so of course we have to support him.” Saniogo’s calm voice echoed in the ward.

As soon as he finished his words, a voice came from the door. “No one knows better than Mr. Jenkins. You’re so much nicer than some other people.”

Everyone in the room cast their eyes on the person at the door.

Christopher came in from the outside with a smile on his handsome face. When he came in, he looked directly at Cecil. “You throw cold water at people better than anything else you do.”

“Humph, if your reputation was a little better, it wouldn’t be so hard for you today.”

She was right though. He walked over and sat next to Everleigh. “I agree. Karma always comes in the end. I’m being punished now.”

When they heard this, they were a little confused. Was he not successful?

“What did Erine say?”

“Nothing much happened when I went to see her. The only thing was that she went into the operating room and I could only wait outside. I’d rather come and find you,” he responded as he picked up the food and began to eat.

Alexander didn’t see it that way. If it was an operation, he could just wait. Moreover, what time was it now? Was there a need for him to skip meals until now?

The only explanation was that he had been driven out by Erine.

He was not the only one who had such thoughts. Everleigh figured it out too.

She knew Christopher well. He wouldn’t give up so easily.

There must be something wrong with him coming here at this time.

The four of them looked at him together. He was a little embarrassed. Finally, he said helplessly, “Alright, alright. I’ll tell you. Erine received a call from her father and they had a quarrel. She wanted to clear her head. It wasn’t the right time for me to disturb her so I came to look for you here.”

The four of them listened. That made more sense.

Everleigh listened to him and asked after a moment of silence, “Did she say anything about why her parents called?”

“It’s clearly about the marriage. Her parents thought the thing between her and I was fake so they quarreled. However, I think it’s a good thing. At least she’s not willing to go back.” There was a hint of expectation in Christopher’s eyes.

“You’re right, but don’t get your hopes up. Erine’s temper might be aggressive, but she still loves her father,” Alexander said in a low voice, trying to be magnanimous about the situation.

“Erine’s father is hot-tempered and he won’t change once he makes up his mind. If you want to marry his daughter, you’d better think about it seriously before making a statement,” Saniogo spoke up suddenly.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The four of them looked at him. Everleigh’s eyes widened and she asked curiously, “Uncle, how do you know that?”

“That’s because I know him. We’ve had business dealings abroad.” Saniogo’s gaze was gentle and he didn’t try to conceal anything from them.

Hearing this, Everleigh realized that Christopher would have a long way to go for his love life.

It was not going to be easy making her his wife.

“But I think Erine has her own opinions. Even if she refuses, there is still hope. After all, her position is clear. As bad as it sounds, who would willingly be married to an illegitimate daughter?” Saniogo continued.

“You should listen to his advice. They won’t harm you,” Cecil said earnestly.
