Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied -
Chapter 70 Was She Flirting A Boy?
By nine o'clock in the morning, seats in the lecture room of No. 1 Executive Building were fully occupied. When Everleigh and Stainley reached the building at Ocpeace Medical University, a group of young students was standing in an orderly fashion near the entrance. Judging from their sizes and heights, they had to be sports students.
As soon as Stainley arrived at the door, he was called by a student, "Mr. Stainley, the head of the department is looking for you."
"Now?" Stainly asked with Adrienne still in his arms.
Everleigh immediately took Adrienne out of Stainley's arms and said, "Stainley, why don't you go and settle your matters. It's going to be a busy day."
"Okay." Stainley checked his watch, "I'll be back real quick."
Everleigh nodded and said, "Okay."
Everleigh and Stainley's lecture was to commence at 9. 30. She could afford the 30-minute wait.
Stainley made sure to leave a junior to lead Everleigh backstage before he went to see the head of the department.
Everleigh walked all the way with one child in each of her arms, attracting numerous eyes.
"Everleigh, are they your children? My, my! They're adorable!"
Before Everleigh could speak, Adrienne, who was next to her, tilted her head and asked, "Adorable? Who's adorable? Me? Or my brother?"
The junior looked young and looked like a freshman. He was taken aback when he was shot by Adrienne's questions as he did not want to offend either child. He blinked his eyes and said, "Both of you, of course." "But I don't think boys like to be called adorable, right?"
"Ah?" The junior was stunned at once and looked awkwardly at Alastair next to him.
"Don't mind her." Everleigh tried to smooth things over and rolled her eyes at her daughter. "She's talking nonsense. One more thing, this is my junior. Adrienne, you have to address him properly." Adrienne did not take it seriously. She said confidently, "What a handsome junior!"
After that, she even winked at him.
Everleigh glanced at the boy beside her, and noticed that his face was flushed red. He was obviously taken aback yet again.
Everleigh wanted to replace a place to hide from the ugly reality. What had she given birth to? How could Adrienne be so good at flirting at her young age?
As soon as they arrived backstage, Everleigh's eyes caught sight of a familiar figure. When she finally realized who it was, she couldn't walk away anymore.
"Everleigh?" A lady with a thesis in her left arm was preparing to go onstage. Her eyes lit up when she saw Everleigh. She hastened her steps towards the latter, followed by another man behind her.
As the figures came into Everleigh's sight, she forcibly pulled up the corners of her lips and muttered, "Erica. William."
When Everleigh was studying at Ocpeace Medical University, Erica Iverson was her senior by one year. She was from the foreign language department, majoring in the Portuguese language.
During Everleigh's first year at Ocpeace Medical University, she was dragged into joining the Public Relations Club by her roommate right after she had done her orientation. Erica was the vice president of the club.
The reason why Everleigh's roommate insisted on joining the club was quite simple. William was the club president and he was the hottest student at the institution at the time. Many juniors fell for him after his outstanding performance of singing the university anthem during the start-of-term ceremony. During the orientation day, the booth representing the Public Relations Club was so overwhelmed with new members that it almost fell apart.
Everleigh and her roommates failed to even get the application forms at first. Just as they were about to give up, they ran into William. The attractive senior just so happened to be scanning around the area and saw the pair before deciding to give them the forms. They received text messages that very night, informing them that their applications had been accepted.
This was also the time when hostility grew between Everleigh and Erica.

"Long time no see, Everleigh. Charming, aren't you? Just like how you used to be." Erica's voice pulled Everleigh back to reality. She still talked like how she used to when she had been the club's vice president, which was in a very fake manner. Everleigh pulled up the corners of her lips and said, "Erica, you look better than you used to."
"Oh, no I'm not. I'm a married woman now. Beauty doesn't mean anything to me, unlike you. Even after coming back from studying abroad, you look exactly the way you did during your university days. Did anyone around the campus mistake you for a freshman?"
Everleigh was left speechless by Erica's comment. There were limits in pleasantries, but unfortunately, Erica knew nothing of them.
As Everleigh was unable to answer Erica, she decided to change the topic of conversation, "Oh! When did you get married? I was totally clueless! By the way, congratulations!"
"Last year." Erica raised her hand and moved her hair, revealing a diamond ring on her finger. The corners of her eyes caught sight of the children behind Everleigh and she said, "Are they your children? Wow, they've grown so much! When did you get married? Is Stainley the lucky guy? You two were the perfect match back then."
Everleigh frowned and said, "No, it's not Stainley. Please don't mention that kind of nonsense again."
"What nonsense? You were the campus belle and Stainley was the hottest guy back then. Countless hearts were broken when you two decided to study abroad! Am I right, Honey?"
The man standing behind Erica was quiet. His eyes had been fixed on Everleigh ever since he noticed her. As evident from his eyes, he was reminiscing about the good old days. He did not respond even when he was called. "Honey." Erica frowned.
William came back to his senses. "Yes? You were saying?"
Erica looked displeased, and her tone was a bit odd. "Students from the medical department were heartbroken when they knew Everleigh and Stainley were going to study abroad. Am I right?"
The three individuals were well aware of Erica's underlying meaning.

It was no secret that William had liked Everleigh. He had taken care of her each time the department held an event, but she would always be absent. When the new semester came, he tried to nominate her as the president, angering Erica, the vice president.
It had been so many years and it felt awkward talking about it now.
Everleigh and William's expressions were a mixture of awkwardness and unease. It was obvious that they did not know what to say at the moment.
"Everleigh." Stainley's voice coming from behind Everleigh and broke the uncomfortable silence.
As Stainley rushed to Everleigh's side, he nodded politely towards Erica and William. "Everleigh, it's time. It's our turn. Let's go onstage."
Everleigh smiled apologetically at Erica, but deep down she was thankful for Stainley. "Erica, William, please excuse me. I'll have to head to the stage with Stainley. Let's talk about the old days again later."
Erica looked reluctant, while beside her, William was embarrassed. His apologetic eyes trailed after Everleigh.
Everleigh left her children in the care of a kind junior before leaving backstage and joining Stainley for their lecture.
As soon as Everleigh was out of their sight, Erica turned to William and said in a strange tone, "What a reunion of old lovers! Why didn't you say anything? Are you blaming me for being an eyesore? It's a pity that she already has children now. I'd recommend you stop thinking about her now."
William glared at her unhappily. "Are you done?"
Erica wanted to argue more. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of two children and her imagination run wild.
When did Everleigh get married? How did she have those children?
