Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied
Chapter 81 The Wedding Will Proceed As Usual

The whole bathroom was filled with steam as heat permeated throughout the shower room. Through its blurry glass door, one could see how hormones dictated the impulsive behavior of a woman as her tender body leaned against the back of a man.

"I thought I could wait for you forever. I'll always be by your side, but it's different now. Everleigh is back. Theodore, I'm really afraid."

Her sobbing voice was mixed with the sound of running water, hinting at her hidden fear.

Josephine had been doing a good job at hiding this side of her from Theodore.

It was easier for a weak woman to gain a man's pity, especially when she told a man that she could not live without him or when she would do everything just for him. Many men would lose their minds under such pressure.

The sound of running water inside the bathroom stopped abruptly as Theodore turned off the shower. Silence took over, making Josephine's sobbing all the more audible. "Is this the reason why you tried to get rid of her from Ocpeace City?"

His voice carried a deep, emotionless and shuddering tone.

Josephine's sobbing stopped in an instant, "What?"

"Didn't you pressure Mr. Lawson so that he would extend Everleigh's work suspension?"

The man's voice echoed in the spacious bathroom. His question sounded more like a verdict. He usually had all the answers to all of his questions.

"Theodore, I..."

Before Josephine could finish her sentence, her hands were pulled back. The force pushed her back by two steps, immediately separating her from the man in front of her.

Theodore wrapped his bath towel around his body. From the moment Josephine had entered the bathroom, he had not looked at her at all. Before he went out, he said coldly, "Put on your clothes. Let's talk outside."

Josephine's face darkened from humiliation as she watched Theodore leaving her mercilessly without even looking at her. Her heart was burning with hatred and envy towards Everleigh.

If it was not for Everleigh, Theodore would never treat her indifferently.

The night deepened as dark clouds covered the moon, blocking all traces of light from it. The pitch black sky unintentionally gave out a dull and unusual feeling.

Josephine had taken off her clothes before she entered the bathroom. By the time she came out, a bath towel was wrapped around her. To her dismay, Theodore was nowhere to be found inside his room. A gust from the open balcony blew against her. She looked towards its direction and found the back of a tall man. He held a lit cigarette and was deep in his thoughts. What was he thinking about? She would probably never replace out.

Josephine found her clothes lying on the sofa. She hesitated, but in the end, she decided to pick them up and put them on.

She was aware that Theodore was never a patient man, especially if he had to deal with women. If it was not for her sensibility and good behavior, she would not have gotten to where she was now, regardless of how long she tried.

The wind was unforgiving at the balcony as it constantly blew at the lit cigarette held by the man. He had not smoked too much of the cigarette yet, but it was already half-spent.

"Theodore," Josephine's voice came from behind Theodore; her tone was nervous.

Theodore gave her a sidelong glance. When he saw that she was already dressed, his expression softened a little. "Go home early. I'll have a driver help you with that."

Josephine lowered her head, looking uneasy. "Yes, I admit it. Everleigh is still being suspended because of me. I want her out of Ocpeace City."

Theodore frowned.

In his mind, Theodore knew Josephine had all the qualifications to do what she had done. He hated it when his woman interfered with his affairs, but if he stood from her point of view, it was not hard to understand why Josephine would feel uneasy.

It made sense that she would do such a thing.

"Got it."

Theodore's answer did not carry too much weight, as if the wind had now carried them away into the dark night.

Josephine froze for a moment before raising her head in shock. What she saw was still Theodore's back.

A woman's intuition was always accurate, especially when it comes to feelings. Josephine was sure that Theodore was not thinking about how to blame her for what she had done nor was he moved by it. It would even turn out that Everleigh was all he could think of right now.

Not many people alive in this world could make Theodore lose control of his emotions. As far as Josephine knew, only Everleigh had the ability to do so.

The picture taken at the zoo flashed through Josephone's eyes and she clenched her fists. The pain she felt as her nails stabbed into her palms calmed her down, "I know you don't like what I did. I promise I won't do it again, but if..." "If you still have feelings for Everleigh and you want to get back with her, I think I'll call off the wedding. I... I can... I can take it."

Theodore turned around with a slight frown.

Josephine's eyes turned red as she tried her best to suppress her emotions. However, she was somewhat incoherent as she spoke, "It... It's not like many people know about our wedding. It's not too late to cancel it now." She lowered her head and wiped her tears. Her body looked thin as she stood among the strong gust.

After a long while, Theodore pulled her into his embrace and placed his hand on her shoulder. "The wedding will go on as usual."

It was impossible for him to reunite with Everleigh. Even if her children were really his, seven years had been too long. Everleigh was too cruel to have left him without a trace for seven years. This was evidence that she could give up on him anytime she wanted to.

No one in his right mind would want to be given up by his other half.

In her arms, Josephine's sobbing gradually faded away. She lowered her head, and a trace of smugness flashed in her eyes. There was a hint of satisfaction from her expression.

How could she let go of something that she had worked so hard for so long? It was all part of her plan. To her, all men were all the same. The more she forced it on Theodore, he would end up hating her, but what would happen if she simply gave in? She got her answer when Theodore had insisted on continuing with their wedding.

A clear sky hung above Ocpeace City on Monday morning.

Mark, the Trevino family butler, was fetching both of Everleigh's children to the Trevino family mansion. According to him, Abraham had nothing to do, so he wanted his grandchildren to keep him company for a couple of days. However, Everleigh knew why her father had done so. He was afraid that she would be too tired to take care of her children and had decided to lend her a hand.

Before Mark left, he turned and looked at the apartment Everleigh had been living at, "Miss Everleigh, do you really live here? Don't you think the place is a little too small for four people?"

Everleigh was taken by surprise and said in a hurry, "He lives near his company, not here. I live here because it's closer to the hospital."

Mark nodded thoughtfully. "That's true, Mr. Godfrey must have his own residence in Ocpeace City. But Miss Everleigh, you're getting married to Mr. Godfrey. I don't think it's nice to live separately long-term like this."

"We're not formally married yet, right? Let's talk about the future some other time." Everleigh looked embarrassed. "Mark, I'm running late for work. Take care of the children and don't let my father worry about them." She urged Mark away, afraid that he would discover the ugly truth.

"Okay, Miss Everleigh, if you're free, please stop by the mansion for these two days. You can have dinner there."

"Okay, I will."

Everleigh let out a sigh of relief as she eyed the Trevino family car slowly leaving the neighborhood.
