Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 196 You Can't Get Along With Women Before getting off work, Everleigh received a text message from Theodore saying that he had arrived.

God knew how he knew her work schedule. Doctors were so specialized that their daily schedules were arranged according to the conditions of the patients and the clinic.

Everleigh changed out of her white coat and clocked out of work. Holding her phone, she looked around the hospital's entrance but didn't see Theodore's car. When she heard a honk behind her, she turned her head and saw a familiar face. The window of the black car's driver's seat was rolled down, revealing Theodore's figure. His white shirt was rolled up till his forearms and he placed one hand on the steering wheel. His fingers were long and clean.

It turned out that he drove there by himself.

"Get in." When Everleigh heard the brief words, she cto her senses, hurriedly nodded and replied, "Oh." Then, she reached out to pull open the door of the back seat.

She couldn't open the door, even though she spent a long ttrying to open it. "Your car door is not..." "Sit in the front," Theodore's voice cfrom inside the car. His tone wasn't one to accept rejection. Everleigh was stunned for a moment and was about to ask, "Why?" However, she swallowed her words and silently circled around the car and sat in the front passenger seat.

The car drove away from the entrance of the city hospital. Seeing Theodore driving, Everleigh couldn't help but ask, "Why are you suddenly driving on your own?" For someone like Theodore, he usually had very few opportunities to drive himself. It was all thanks to the chauffeurs who cto pick him up and drove him around. Theodore said, "I drive occasionally." "Oh." Everleigh pulled up the corners of her mouth and said, "That's good." There had been nothing to talk about between the two of them. Other than Helen's illness, it was almost impossible to talk about anything else. The car suddenly becquiet.

Everleigh knew that Theodore was not a talkative person. He was used to a quiet atmosphere, so there was no need for her to deliberately find a topic to talk about. She had planned to close her eyes and rest for a while, but Theodore's voice suddenly broke the silence.

"Was the hospital busy today?" Everleigh was stunned for a moment. After half a second, she cto her senses and said, "So-so, just like usual; hospitals are all the same." "Did you run into any trouble at work?" "Trouble? What exactly do you mean?" Everleigh looked at Theodore in confusion.

Theodore's brows furrowed slightly as a subtle emotion flitted across his eyes. "It's nothing." Everleigh felt puzzled, but it was not good for her to ask questions.

After driving for a while, a phone suddenly rang in the car. The car's display screen showed the word "Leon". Everleigh took a glance at it from the corner of her eyes and took the initiative to look out of the window. Her attitude towards Leon was similar to Cecil's attitude towards Theodore. She didn't like him at all.

Probably all the women in the world thought that their best friend's ex-boyfriend was rubbish and not worthy of their perfect bestie at all.

"What's the matter?" Theodore, who was beside her, tapped the 'accept' button. He didn't try to avoid her. Instead, he switched it to speaker mode.

"Why did you take so long to answer the phone? I haven't finished what I told you yet. You just follow what I taught you. I can't do business and make money, and you can't get along with women." Leon's voice echoed in the car, and Everleigh's eyes, which were originally looking out of the window, were drawn back. Her attention was directly attracted by the sentence "You can't get along with women." Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on 000005sfor uninterrupted enjoyment.

"That's right, it seems like you have listened to me. Don't let the driver pick you up every time. Two people in the car and three people in the car; it's not the sthing." "Ahem, Ahem..." "Why are you coughing? Ah, remember the rules of conversation I told you? Be concerned about her work, ask if she's tired, and if she's in any trouble. Throw out a question and then get her to answer. This..." Without waiting for Leon to finish, Theodore hung up the phone.

Everleigh had sat straight in the passenger seat and looked at him with a calm expression.

No wonder. She wondered why he suddenly drove by himself. He used to be a quiet person, but that day, he took the initiative to talk with her. It turned out that he had a good-for-nothing counselor like Leon giving him advice. Theodore's expression turned stiff. "The restaurant isn't too far away. We'll be there very soon." Whether it was now or seven years ago, Everleigh had never seen the man in front of her behave so cautiously. She suddenly remembered a sentence she had previously read in a book. A man would appear reserved in front of the woman he liked. Those who were easy-going were not truly in love with you.

Although what the book said was a little too absolute, it made sense.

"Okay," she said. Then, without being awkward, she turned to look at the front windshield, as if nothing had happened.

The sunset faded away, and the night fell. The neon lights lit up the beautiful night in Ocpeace City.

The restaurant booked by Theodore was located on the upper floors of a high-class commercial building. From the booth near the window, one could enjoy the view of the lake under the moonlight outside the window. The environment was luxurious.

The rarest thing was that this restaurant was an Asian restaurant.

"It's rare to see an Asian restaurant here." After ordering the dishes, Everleigh looked around and asked, "Do you chere often?" "I've been here once," Theodore answered. When he looked at Everleigh, he thought of something and explained, "I was here to discuss business with a client." Everleigh paused while she picked up a glass, and she said, "You don't have to explain this to me..." Even if he cwith Josephine, it was a very normal thing. They were a real couple.

"Did Cecil tell you about what happened at the banquet?" Theodore suddenly changed the topic. When it cto the banquet, Everleigh's heart suddenly tightened. Her delicate brows furrowed as she said in a muffled voice, "Yes, she told me." "I'll investigate the matter until the end." "No need," Everleigh said in a calm tone. "I will check it out myself."

After so many years, the most important thing Everleigh had learned was not to put any expectations on others, and to do everything by herself. Only in this way could she ensure each step. Theodore's brows furrowed and his eyes turned cold. "You don't believe that I'll be able to figure it out?"

Everleigh didn't want to talk to Theodore about the banquet. She only thought that she was unlucky. However, he was serious. She raised her head and looked opposite her. "It's not that I don't believe that you can figure it out. It's that I don't believe that you can pin down the person after you figure it out."

Josephine was his fiancee, which meant that she was half a step into the Godfrey family. Moreover she was officially acknowledged by the Godfrey Group as their future daughter-in-law. It was justified that she and the Godfrey family were now tied together, sharing each other's glory and disgrace. Therefore, as long as the engagement was still on, Theodore wouldn't sacrifice the Godfrey Group's reputation by investigating Josephine.

"You're the president of the Godfrey Group, so you need to consider the profits of the Godfrey family in everything you do," Everleigh said with a bit of irony. "Isn't the kidnapping incident over, anyway?"
