Chapter 117


    Theodore''s words were firm, without the slightest hint of doubt.


    Based on what Moses found, Everleigh left Ocpeace City in August. Before then, Christopher had


    been abroad for half a year and had not returned during this period.


    He didn''t know how they met, but there was one thing he was sure of - Everleigh''s two children


    couldn''t be Christopher''s.


    "Nothing to do with me?" Christopher frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with what he heard. "Mr.


    Godfrey, you''re so sure of what you''re saying. Legally, I am the father of the two children. What do


    you mean by nothing to do with me?"


    Theodore frowned and his eyebrows furrowed.


    Christopher was admitting it. How could he admit it that easily?


    "However, does it matter whether they''re my biological children? The entire Meyer family recognizes


    these children. You even painstakingly sent people to investigate such a small matter. It was


    completely out of my expectation."


    Theodore was stunned by how calm Christopher was.


    "If I''m not mistaken, you came here because of what happened at the ERst night, right?"


    Theodore''s expression froze upon hearing this. He neither confirmed nor denied it.


    Christopher was quick- witted. Theodore wouldn''t havee here for no reason. Moreover, the


    most recent thing that had to do with Everleigh was the incident in the ER the night before. He


    happened to see the news on it on his phone at noon.


    "Since you know, why beat around the bush?"


    "You''re quite infatuated. You immediately rushed here to see Everleigh the moment you saw the


    news."


    Christopher looked at Theodore calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do


    with him. He even took away the notebook on the instant noodles and opened the cover. He picked


    up the fork and twirled it as if he was chatting with an old friend nonchntly.


    Theodore''s brows furrowed even deeper at his actions.


    He didn''t like Christopher. From the first time he met him, he didn''t like him very much. Such a man


    was self- centered and had no selfcontrol. He could do whatever he wanted. It was hard to figure


    out what he wanted.


    Not only did Moses find out that Christopher and Everleigh were living under the same roof for


    seven years while abroad, but he also found out that Christopher dated countless women during


    that period.


    How Everleigh was with such a man for seven years was beyond him.


    Thinking of this, Theodore asked, "You don''t seem to care about what I think about her."


    How could a normal man calmly chat with another man who cared about his own wife? Christopher


    was reacting abnormally.


    "Why should I care about what you think?"


    "Yes, but it seems that you don''t care about what she thinks. A few days ago, didn''t you drink in


    Lonaldo Bar the whole night?"


    Christopher''s indifferent face tensed up a little upon these words. "Did you send someone to follow


    me?"


    Who was the Meyer family in Ocpeace City? He was well-protected by bodyguards when he was


    abroad, let alone in his own territory. Theodore must have gone through a lot of hassle to go


    through with this.


    Theodore''s voice was very cold. "I''m just curious as to how real the love between both of you was."


    His instinct was discerning. He was with Everleigh for five years. No one knew how Everleigh


    looked like when she was in love better than him. He did not see any signs of love for Christopher in


    Everleigh.


    The conversation was at wit''s end.


    Both men were beating around the bush and they finally came to the key point of the problem.


    Christopher was still as calm as before, but deep down, he had some admiration for the man


    standing before him.


    As expected of Theodore. He could tell that there was something wrong with his marriage with


    Everleigh.


    However, no evidence supported his im that they were in a fake marriage. Legally, other than


    sleeping in separate rooms, they were, in fact, a real married couple.


    No one continued the topic. It was a tacit understanding between adults.


    Christopher stopped beating around the bush with Theodore and said bluntly, "No matter how real


    my rtionship with Everleigh is, our marriage is real legally. Mr. Godfrey, you''ve investigated and


    asked so much just to send a message to me."


    He looked at Theodore and said, "You''re still thinking about her."


    There was a vein throbbing on Theodore''s temple and anger appeared on his face.


    However, Christopher did not wait for him to answer. "But unfortunately, it''s toote. Even if


    Everleigh and I get a divorce, can you break off the engagement with your fiancee?"


    In seven years, everyone was on a path of not turning back.

    "You''re overthinking," Theodore said coldly.


    "I hope I''m overthinking," Christopher snorted.


    He said what he needed to say. If he stayed any longer, it would just be verbal sparring. Hence,


    Theodore said, "I still have some matters to attend to. I''m leaving."


    As Theodore reached for the door, Christopher suddenly called out to him. "Mr. Godfrey, aren''t you


    curious? Why did Everleigh have to break up with you seven years ago?"


    Theodore''s hand, which was holding on to the door handle, paused.


    Everleigh told him the answer. It was because she was pregnant with the two children. She turned


    her back against the Trevino family for the sake of the fatherless children and left for seven years.


    He did not look back and said with a hint of selfmockery in his voice, "As you said, seven years is


    enough to bury everything, including curiosity."


    The first year Everleigh left, he searched for answers. He searched for a reasonable exnation.


    He wanted to know why she forwent her five-year rtionship with him. It waspletely


    unreasonable.


    However, it was too long that it was numbing. If Everleigh hadn''t appeared again, he thought he


    would stop listening to anything about her ever again.


    Christopher''s voice came from behind. "What if I tell you that it had something to do with you?"


    Theodore was startled for a moment before he turned around.


    ''What did you say?''


    Christopher had been sitting in his chair the entire time with a serious look that rarely appeared in


    his eyes. When he looked at Theodore, it was obvious that he was unhappy. However, at that


    moment, he was staring straight at Theodore.


    If they wanted to find out what happened seven years ago, they had to start from the Godfrey family.


    If they insisted on starting from the Godfrey family, why not just me the person who was most


    likely to cause those problems?


    Christopher never denied that he was scum. As long as things were convenient for him, he would


    cut corners without hesitation.


    The most important thing was that he didn''t have any feelings for Theodore as he had for Everleigh.


    He had no qualms about taking advantage of him.


    Instead of letting Everleigh barge into the Godfrey family, it was better to have Theodore, who was


    suspected of being the ''culprit of the incident'', personally investigate the matter.
