Chapter 116


    Christopher''s aloof "no" caused tension between both men.


    They were very different, but both could turn heads when they walked on the street.


    Christopher was an approachable and gentle doctor. Many fell for his alluring eyes. Theodore was


    distant and icy and his dark eyes were filled with the charm of a mature man. Women were most


    attracted to men with a back story.


    Right then, Everleigh was caught in between. She frowned slightly and subconsciously moved half


    a step towards Christopher.


    Christopher and Everleigh had known each other for years. Christopher came back mostly for her


    sake. He protected her as if she was family and she knew this better than anyone else. The only


    thing she could do was not let him down.


    "What''s the matter? Just give it to me straight. Christopher can listen to whatever I''m listening to."


    There was nothing more deadly than what she said - telling her old me that she trusted her new


    love fully.


    Theodore''s face had no response but the veins on his neck were bulging. He remained silent for a


    long time before closing the door behind him.


    "Okay, if he wants to listen, let him listen. Everleigh, I want you to tell me the truth."

    A period of time had passed since the Meyer family''s banquet, but he had all the information from


    Moses'' investigation in his mind. For the first time, he hated how good his memory was as he


    remembered every word and punctuation clearly.


    Everleigh asked in reply, "What truth?"


    Even though Christopher was still sitting on the chair next to him with no intention of leaving,


    Theodore couldn''t be bothered. There were some things that he had to ask.


    "Did you suddenly go overseas to study seven years ago because you were pregnant?"


    "Yes," Everleigh admitted.


    This wasn''t the first time Theodore asked her this question. She had to face the truth from the past


    and the truth had everything to do with Theodore. Hence, she did not need to hide anything from


    him.


    The reality was, if she knew the incident that night was rted to the Godfrey family before she


    went abroad seven years ago, she wouldn''t have chosen to hide it from Theodore.


    However, things were different. At this point, Theodore was no longer going through everything with


    her. He was already someone else''s fiance and that woman was the one who harmed her at that


    time.


    Theodore expected this response, but when Everleigh confirmed it, he secretly clenched his fists.


    "Who is the father of the child?''


    This was the root of the problem.


    Theodore was bothered by whether Everleigh cheated on him for so many years. If she cheated on


    him, who did she cheat on him with?


    During the five years of their rtionship, even when they were not in the same department, they


    were inseparable except for ss. Hence, he never believed it when Everleigh said it was Stanley.


    "It''s my business and has nothing to do with you." Everleigh looked him straight in the eye. That


    look could make someone angry. "It''s a personal matter. Whether for the sake of my children or my


    husband''s family, I can''t tell you."


    The words "my husband" were like steel nails, fiercely stabbing into Theodore''s eardrums. It was as


    if the nails were prating his heart through his ears.


    Everleigh asked as she saw how silent Theodore was, "Are you done with your questions? If you''re


    done, I still have matters to attend to."


    As she spoke, she grabbed Christopher''s arm. His wound had not been tended to fully, and the


    waterproof bandaid wasn''t put on properly. Hence, Everleigh had to take it off and reapply it.


    "That''s enough. It''s fine," Christopher said, looking as if he did not care.


    Everleigh patted him on his wrist and said, "What do you mean enough? Shouldn''t you know better


    as a doctor? Don''t move. It will be done soon."


    The interaction between them was so natural as if they did not realize another person was next to


    them.


    Theodore''s brows twitched violently at what he saw. He realized how preposterous it was of him to


    suddenlye here.


    When he was about to leave, a nurse came to call Everleigh, saying that there was a patient she


    needed to see.


    "Go," Christopher said while waving his hand. "I''ll be right here."


    Everleigh frowned and nced at Theodore from the corner of her eye. In the end, she didn''t say


    anything. Instead, she walked straight past Theodore as if he was not there.


    With a ''click'', the office door closed. Theodore and Christopher were left in the room.


    There was tension the moment Theodore walked in through the door. Right then, as Everleigh left, it


    was as if there was a sh of lightning and the atmosphere was heated.


    "Mr. Godfrey, did youe just to ask these two questions?" Christopher gave Theodore a side


    nce. His smirk carried a hint of arrogance and sarcasm.


    "Or do you have anything else to ask?"


    Theodore''s expression became extremely indifferent at that contemptuous tone.


    His fist clenched again as he stared at Christopher. "Mr. Meyer, you seem to trust your wife very


    much. You''re also very protective of her, not even willing to leave. What are you worrying about?"


    "Shouldn''t I worry for her? I still remember what you did to my wife at my mother''s birthday


    banquet."


    Theodore was drugged that time, but Christopher didn''t mention anything about drugs. He only


    mentioned what he did, which was the truth. Fortunately, he arrived early enough and didn''t cause


    too big of trouble.


    Theodore still wanted to say something but he kept his mouth shut. His thin lips moved as he


    changed the subject. "What happened that day was a misunderstanding. I''ll find a day and send my


    apologies over."


    "What about today?" Christopher did not think it was a big deal but insisted on asking, "Mr. Godfrey,


    you came here out of nowhere and you seemed to be in a rush. All you only asked was about the


    past. It was really unnecessary, don''t you think?"


    He didn''t say it in a heavy tone, but he was aggressive.


    "The past?" Theodore asked back with a cold piercing look in his eyes.


    "Isn''t it?" Christopher''s lips curled slightly and a faint smile appeared on his face. Even though he


    was only 30 years old, he looked very young. However, his tone was sarcastic. "It''s been seven


    years, and the matter was buried a long time ago. However, you''re still thinking about it."


    Theodore had never been criticized like this before. Based on how he grew up and his current


    lifestyle, he was the apple of everyone''s eye. This was the first time, but he wasn''t angry one bit.


    In this world, no one could faze him except Everleigh.


    Right then, he calmly nced at the desk. There were two bowls of instant noodles covered by


    notebooks. It was Christopher and Everleigh''s lunch.


    Theodore''s eyes shed. As calm as ever, he said, "As far as I know, she didn''t know you before


    she went abroad." "So?"


    "So her children have nothing to do with you."
