Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

The one who spoke was Everleigh’s sister, Selena Trevino.

She was folding her arms, leaning against the doorframe. She looked very elegant as she stood there quietly.

Not too long ago, her flawless face was ranked the prettiest face on the continent. She appeared in various advertisements and fashion magazines. Recently, she was the most popular celebrity in the entertainment industry.

“How dare you come back?” Unfortunately, everything fell apart when Selena spoke.

Selena stood upright nonchalantly and glared at Everleigh. She scoffed, “Seven years ago, I recalled that someone swore never to step into the Trevino family home again.”

Everleigh tightened her grip on the paper bag. She could not refute Selena.

Back then, Everleigh was young and immature. After becoming a mother, she finally understood how hard it was to be a parent. She realized how a parent would feel if the child made a mistake.

“Selena, I came back to see Dad. Is he okay?”

“Thanks to you, Dad was hospitalized for six months.”

Everleigh felt very guilty when she heard that. “It was my fault.”

Selena snorted. “Everleigh, how was it your fault? You’re the center of the world and everything had to revolve around you. But, let me tell you, the Trevino family can’t afford to have someone like you. Since you want to leave, then don’t come back again.”

“Miss Selena, Miss Everleigh is just-”

Helen could no longer stand and watch. She wanted to defend Everleigh but Selena interrupted harshly, “Helen, don’t just let anyone in. Who’ll be responsible if anything happens to Dad?”

Helen was at a loss for words. She glanced at Everleigh with an awkward look.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Everleigh did not want to argue. She put down the supplements she bought and said, “Helen, it’s okay. I’ll be leaving. I’ll put the stuff here.”

As soon as she left, she heard Selena’s voice behind her. “Trash! Helen, throw everything away. Don’t let me see them again.”

Everleigh clenched her fists but did not look back.

She knew her younger sister’s temper. Selena did not mean any harm but she held grudges against Everleigh. Back then, her father fell ill because of Everleigh, hence it was natural for Selena to feel the way she did.

There was an overcast over the city. The weather forecast reported that it was going to rain.

A black Mercedes-Benz sped down the street. Suddenly, rain poured down and raindrops pattered against the car windows.

Theodore’s impatient look was reflected in the rearview mirror. The driver slowed down and said, “It’s probably going to rain for a while. It’s lucky that I listened to you. Fortunately, we’ve been using this road for the past few days. I believe the other roads would be congested.”

Ever since the previous week, Theodore suddenly instructed the driver to take this road to the company. Logically speaking, the other road would be a lot faster.

The car stopped at the intersection. The rain was getting heavier. Theodore suddenly stiffened when he stared out the window.

On the opposite side of the road, Everleigh held a bag over her head. She rushed to the nearby bus stop amidst the downpour. She was drenched and she was in a mess.

She hasn’t changed. She never remembered to bring an umbrella with her whenever it rained.
