Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied
Chapter 90 Was This His Nemesis?

Christopher's mother, Vanessa Collins, was the kindest and most enthusiastic lady whom Everleigh had ever seen. There was not a sense of superiority from her at all. Even though the Meyer family was one of the four top families of Ocpeace City and rarely showed up in the news, they were still worthy of the term 'wealthy family'.

Everleigh thought that Vanessa would only say a few polite words to her children at most, since the two children were not related to Christopher at all. At first, Everleigh was determined to not go along with Christopher's lies, but she did not expect Vanessa to show so much kindness and joy upon seeing her children.

"They are too cute. Alastair is the older brother, isn't he?"

Alastair seldom took the initiative to talk to strangers. Everleigh did not introduce them to each other, so he pouted his lips. His beautiful eyes filled with a calmness that surpassed his peers of the same age. Adrienne blinked, "Yes, Alastair is a little older, so he is the elder brother!"

When Adrienne didn't speak, she was like a perfect little doll. As soon as she spoke, all her energy and liveliness came out. Who could dislike clever little girls?

Vanessa's heart was about to melt. She squatted down and imitated their childish voices, "Let me guess, you must be Adrienne, right?" "That's right!"

"Then do you know who I am?" Vanessa pointed to herself, she looked at her with a kind smile.

Adrienne glanced at Christopher, who was next to her, and said generously, "I know, you are Uncle Christopher's mother!"

"Why do you still call him Uncle?" Vanessa hesitated for a moment, but she was quickly relieved, "It's alright, you may take your time." After that, her kind smile returned to her face. "Alastair, Adrienne, I am your grandmother."

Upon hearing this, Adrienne looked somewhat hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Vanessa thought that she was too abrupt. She thought she scared the child, so she looked at Everleigh in confusion. Everleigh patted Adrienne's head and whispered, "Adrienne, call her Grandma."

Adrienne shook her head, she was very innocent, "How can there be such a young grandmother? I can call her aunt at most."

Not a single woman in this world disliked being praised for being young and beautiful.

As soon as she said that, Vanessa was filled with joy. She held Adrienne in her arms and said, "Oh, God, you have given me such a cute and innocent granddaughter."

Everleigh and Christopher looked at each other silently with the same thoughts in their mind.

The two of them had never been worried about Adrienne's talents in winning other people's liking for her. Her eloquence was so great that she could even make kidnappers happy.

"But, you still have to call me grandmother. We must not mess up our seniority." Vanessa held Adrienne's hands and took her to the sofa. As she walked, she said, "Grandpa and I have prepared gifts for you. Come, take a look and see if you would like it."

Usually, Adrienne would rush over when she heard there were presents. But now, she pretended to be calm, though Everleigh and Christopher both knew that she was overjoyed.

Vanessa was busy playing with the children. Samuel, Christopher's father, who had been sitting on the sofa throughout, was completely ignored. He coughed several times but Vanessa never noticed. It was really awkward. Obviously, Christopher was deliberately ignoring his father. After a while, he could not stand it anymore, he smiled to himself and introduced, "Everleigh, this is my father."

Everleigh accepted some tea from a servant and politely greeted him, "Nice to meet you."

Only then did Samuel's look ease a little. "Thank you for picking up Christopher."

"It's nothing. Besides, I had a day off from the hospital. I only worked for half a day."

"It must be busy working in the hospital. You are so young yet you have already become a deputy chief physician. You must be very capable and hard-working." Samuel spoke in a serious way. His words were nothing special; it was a general way for people his age to speak.

Everleigh did not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, she thought he was kind, just like her father.

He asked her about her work and academic achievements and Everleigh answered him truthfully. She mentioned that she signed a contract in her school and managed to work in her campus too. There was obviously appreciation in Samuel's eyes.

Christopher felt bored, he interrupted, "Dad, how boring. What's the point of talking about this? It looks like you are interviewing her for work in our company." Samuel looked at him and frowned. "Sit properly."

Christopher was born weak. If he could sit, he would never stand. If he could lie down, he would never sit too. He was leaning on the sofa like a spineless shrimp. It looked like he was about to sink into the sofa.

A good atmosphere came from the Meyer family, from Samuel to Vanessa to the servants too. They were all enthusiastic and kind. Everleigh was a little nervous at first, but she quickly got used to it. As they were talking, a maid's voice came from outside, "Miss Felicia has returned."

Everleigh, who was drinking her tea, suddenly looked up. She saw someone in red entering. The woman's hair was neat and she wore a red shirt with a high-waisted suit. She looked slender, graceful, and sexy too. After taking off her 12-inch high-heeled shoes, Felicia entered the door. She saw Everleigh, who was in the living room.

"You're back." Samuel put down his teacup as he introduced, "This is Christopher's sister, Felicia. Felicia, this is Everleigh."

Felicia was very tall, around 1. 7 meters tall, and the lingering aura around her was fierce.

"Hello," Everleigh took the initiative to greet her, "I am Everleigh Trevino. You can call me Everleigh."

Felicia simply hummed in reply and went straight to the stairs. When she walked past Christopher, she gave him a kick and said in a cold voice, "If you don't want to be beaten, sit properly."

"You're crazy." Christopher muttered as he held his knees. Obviously, he felt somewhat nervous.

Everleigh has known Christopher for many years, but she had never seen him be scared of anyone; could this be his nemesis?

Seeing Felicia walking straight upstairs, Vanessa, who was accompanying the children to open the gifts, called out to her, "It's almost time to eat. Come down after you wash your hands. Don't keep us waiting."

"I know," Felicia said bluntly, skipping all the nonsense.

Everleigh sipped tea in silence. She thought that Christopher was right; his sister was indeed as indifferent as the rumors said she was.

At noon, they had lunch. Everleigh and Christopher sat together at the round table, with Adrienne and Alastair beside them. Vanessa liked children very much, so she sat next to the children. Naturally, Samuel sat next to her and Felicia sat opposite her.

"Everleigh, try this. It's delicious."

Vanessa was especially enthusiastic. She was busy giving food to Everleigh and the two children. She was very happy.

Soon, Everleigh's plate was piled up high like a mountain.

Felicia looked at Everleigh thoroughly, she asked, "So, you work in a hospital?"

This question was asked too abruptly, there was no foreshadowing from her at all. Everleigh was stunned and answered, "Yes."

"And you work in Ocpeace Medical University?"

"Yes, that's right."

"You must be quite busy, aren't you? You have to be in the hospital and rush to school. Can you take care of your children well?"

"I can manage. Sometimes I send the children to my father's place."

Felicia nodded thoughtfully and said, "It won't be a good idea to bother him. As parents, one of you will have to stay back and take care of the family."

Everleigh's heart skipped a beat, from the looks of it, could it be that she wanted her to resign and stay home to be a full-time housewife?

Felicia looked at her seriously. After a while, she said, "Christopher, prepare yourself. In the future, you don't have to work anymore. Resign and take care of your children at home."
