Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied -
Chapter 145 Don't Say What You Shouldn't Say
From the passenger seat, Moses reported on certain work projects as usual, and did not notice the change in Theodore's expression. "Have you been to Yoreast Hills Garden these past few days?"
Moses shuddered when he heard the cold and deep voice coming from the back seat. His words were caught in his throat and his face suddenly turned pale as he raised his head. Theodore's expression was cold. "Is your position as the Godfrey Group's chief assistant too boring for you?"
"Mr. Godfrey..." A cold sweat broke out on Moses's forehead. He couldn't replace the words to explain himself.
When Mrs. Godfrey questioned him, he dared not go against her, even though he knew Theodore was his actual boss and hated if the surrounding people betrayed him. Moses could feel a sense of suffocation from Theodore's icy gaze. "Madam Madison only inquired about your whereabouts. Mr. Godfrey, from now on... From now on, I..." What about the future?
Even if Theodore looked like he was about to force the truth out of him, Moses dared not swear that he would report nothing to Mrs. Godfrey from now on. Mrs. Godfrey was also a major shareholder of the Godfrey Group. As an employee, he could not afford to offend either of them.
"From now on, you can go if she asks you to."
Moses raised his head in surprise when he heard Theodore's words. He thought his ears were playing tricks on him.
I can go?
Theodore said, "You should know what to say and what not to."
It stunned Moses for a moment before he came back to his senses. He hurriedly nodded his head and said, "I understand."
Theodore resumed looking at his phone. It was as if it was the aftermath of a tsunami in the car, leaving a deadly and worrisome silence.
The text message showed some updates on the investigation. The name 'Everleigh' appeared most often. Other than her name, several eye-catching names appeared. Among them, the name 'Yvonne' was prominent. The man's fingers paused on the screen for a while and typed a string of words that read, "Follow the trail."
After he sent the message, Theodore put his phone away, leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes to rest. What happened in the Ocpeace Medical University's archives appeared in his mind.
The face that he couldn't be any more familiar with looked very dull under the dim light in the archives. Although it was very close to him, it was distant.
Somehow, his intuition told him that Everleigh had ulterior motives for returning to the country after seven years, and it had something to do with the Godfrey family.
He actually felt a little happy.
It was Saturday, and the weather was bright. It was a good day to go out and have fun.
Yoreast Hills Garden was far from the city, so Yvonne instructed the driver to send the two children to the entrance of the amusement park early in the morning. Everleigh would meet them at the entrance.
"Evie! Over here!" As soon as she parked her car, Everleigh heard a familiar voice in front of her. When she looked up, she saw a girl not far away. The tall figure who waved at her joyfully was Loraine.
Everleigh waved her hand to show that she saw her. She then passed through the parking lot with a bag on her shoulder.
Loraine was over the moon, hugging Everleigh's arm the whole way, and she called her name affectionately. "Evie, thank you so much. My mother did not allow me to bring Hansen to the amusement park, but he has been wishing for years to come to the amusement park on his birthday. I promised him last year that I would bring him here."
"It was Hansen's wish?" Everleigh lowered her head and glanced at Hansen, who held her right hand. "Then why didn't you tell your mother?"
Hansen was dressed in a checkered shirt and pants. His soft hair was spotless and fresh. "Mommy would worry."
This child was very sensible and was also very good at self-control. Everleigh instinctively thought of her own son, who also had a similar personality. Hansen was gentler and cuter than Alastair, but much weaker.

Loraine said, "Mommy worries too much. What's there to worry about? Life is short, right Evie?"
Everleigh smiled and said, "Anyway, it's Hansen's birthday today. You've got what you wished for, so let's have some fun."
"That's right." Loraine nodded, then told Hansen, "Hansen, we can do whatever you want."
Hansen smiled shyly, raised his head, and pointed at the Ferris wheel in the distance, "I want to go on that."
Everleigh took a look and was relieved. "Okay, it's safe. Let's go."
The three of them headed towards the Ferris Wheel. Little did they know that they were followed by two people the entire way since the amusement park ticket counter. Under the camphor tree, two burly men stood together.
"That's the one, the seven-year-old child."
"I thought both the two children were seven years old? Isn't there only one now? The young girl with blonde hair looks taller than me. How can she be seven years old?" "Maybe the client gave wrong information. Maybe the other child is 17 years old?"
As they were under the trees, they took out a photo and compared it with the woman in the distance for a while. One of them decided and said, "Yes, it's her. The two children beside her must be her son and daughter." "That's not right. Even if she's 17 years old, that woman is at most 30 years old. How is that possible?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
The cautious man hesitated for a moment and eventually decided to target the boy. "Let's not bother about the girl. Anyway, it must be the right boy. It's him."

...
The weather in early autumn was warm and great for outdoor activities. However, they needed to queue for at least half an hour for each ride as there were many people over the weekend.
After another ride, Loraine enthusiastically suggested, "Evie, let's go on the roller coaster."
"Hansen can't ride that." Everleigh helplessly touched Hansen's head.
Loraine was still a child, but she was not quiet or introverted. It was natural for her to like something as exciting as roller coasters. She became a little impatient after going on some kiddy rides with Hansen. Her eyes drifted towards the roller
coaster.
"Loraine, if you really want to ride it, you can. We'll wait for you in the restaurant."
Loraine's eyes lit up at what Everleigh said. "Okay!"
"Be careful and come back soon."
"Got it."
After Loraine left, Everleigh lowered her head and asked Hansen gently, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
He nodded. "Mm."
If she didn't ask him, this boy would not tell her he needed to go to the bathroom. He was way too shy.
"Let's go. The bathroom is over there." With that, Everleigh took Hansen's hand and walked towards the bathroom sign in the amusement park.
About five meters away from them, the two men who were by the flower bed saw them and immediately exchanged glances. They chased them towards the bathroom.
At the bathroom entrance, Everleigh glanced at the sign on the left, showing the men's bathroom. "Hansen, I'll wait here for you to come out. Take your time. Your sister will take a while."
"Mm, alright." Hansen nodded obediently and went in.
