Chapter 337
Everleigh took out her phone and looked at the number that she hadn''t dialed for a year. She was
nervous the moment she pressed ''call''.
No one knew what would happen when they met again after a year.
Sitting in the office with nothing to do, Theodore looked at the number disyed on his phone. He
was stunned.
He stared at the screen for a long time, and his longing for her surged out in waves. He picked up
the phone with trembling hands and pressed the answer button.
"Everleigh," his voice choked.
"Theodore, let''s meet up. I''ll wait for you at the restaurant nearby." Everleigh heard his voice and
remembered the scene back at the airport a year ago.
She would never forget the moment, and how the ring shone brightly under the sunlight.
He didn''t say anything. He hung up and walked out.
Moses came in to deliver some documents and saw that Theodore was in a hurry to leave. Before
he could say a word, Theodore disappeared at the door.
"What''s going on?" Moses could not help but muttered.
Theodore ran down as fast as he could, heading to the restaurant where he met Everleigh before.
She was already waiting for him there. It wasn''t long before she saw his tall figure appear in front of
her. He was panting, and his forehead was covered in sweat as he ran over as fast as he could. He
looked a little disheveled, but even that couldn''t overshadow his attractiveness.
Everleigh had rarely seen him like this. For a moment, she couldn''t help but feel a little emotional.
Theodore strode over. His eyes were deep, but his longing for her couldn''t be hidden no matter how
hard he tried.
He walked to her table. There were so many things he wanted to tell her, but he didn''t know what to
say.
"Sit down. Look at how sweaty you are." She was the first to speak. She knew exactly how he felt at
the moment.
He stared at her for some time. He was afraid that none of this was real.
It was not until she sat him down that he realized that he was not dreaming.
"Everleigh," he said with a hoarse voice. Only he knew how much he had longed to call her name.
I''m here." She smiled and looked at him with tears brimming in her eyes. She had thought that she
would never be able to see him again.
Theodore hugged her tightly. He couldn''t hide the excitement in his eyes. The feeling of regaining
what he had lost made him understand that he would never give up on the love of his life again.
He would hold her tightly in his arms.
She understood his feelings and hugged him tightly with tears quietly flowing down her cheeks.
This time, she would not be affected by others.
They didn''t know how much time had passed before they could let go of each other.
"When did youe back?" Although Theodore had let go of her, their hands were still tightly
sped together.
"It''s been a few days. It took me some time to settle down. I''ve just gotten back on track."
He frowned. "Why didn''t you tell me? I could''ve picked you up."
"Everyone was clueless when I left. People would gossip. I didn''t inform anyone except the hospital
staff," she exined.
Her eyes were fixed on Theodore''s face. He... had lost weight.
He looked even more haggard than before.
When did he end up in such a state?
His cold eyes locked on her. He was afraid that she would disappear from his sight.
"I haven''t had lunch yet. You''re paying," she said as she went through the menu and ordered a few
dishes, mostly things that he liked.
He was over the moon when he heard Everleigh''s orders. She still remembered his favorite dishes.
It didn''t take long for the food to arrive and she wasted no time. She had been very busy in the
morning and was about to starve to death.
"Take your time." Theodore saw that she was devouring the food and quickly poured her a ss of
water.
She took a sip and slowed down. "The hospital is too busy. I didn''t even have time to eat."
"Everleigh, you..."
"I heard a lot has happened in the Godfrey family. How did you manage thepany?" She
interrupted him.
When she went abroad, he managed it very well, but now, it was a total mess.
His eyes were hollow and cold as he listened. He pursed his thin lips tightly. "You know it already?"
"Others are waiting to see the Godfrey family''s infighting. I think it would be difficult for me not to
know," Everleigh said matter-of-factly.
Theodore raised his head, his gaze shone like the stars. "Will you still be with me if I''m no longer
the CEO of the Godfrey Group?"
"You hadn''t been the CEO of Godfrey Group when we were seeing each other. Did you assume I
would change, or that your heart would?" She put some food into her mouth, and the emotion in her
eyes was deeply imprinted in his.
Hearing her words, the joy in his heart was overwhelming.

"You..."
"Theodore, have your feelings for me ever changed?"
"No."
"Then why do you think mine will?" Everleigh reached out her hand, and the ring shone brightly on
her finger.
Just like his feeling at the moment, it was a sign of approval and recognition.
Theodore smiled from the bottom of his heart. In the past, he expressed his joy by twitching the
corner of his mouth, but not this time. The feeling of being able to hold onto something he loved was
so sweet and beautiful.
Everleigh had rarely seen him smile like this. Perhaps time really could change a person, but
nothing could change their feelings for each other, not even death.
The meal they had together was lively. When she put down the spoon, she said, "I met Yvonne.
Hansen is admitted to the hospital."
"He has poor health. He practically lived there. I know that."
"You know? Then do you know that Loraine is a puppet, and Yvonne is behind all this?" Her eyes
widened as she questioned.
He knew that, and yet he still messed up thepany.
Theodore paused for a moment and put down his spoon. "Everleigh, many things have happened in
the past year but I can''t tell you any of it. However, trust that I''ll be fine."
Everleigh was stunned. This meant that he knew everything and was carrying out some n.
He saw that her eyes were clear as her anger dissipated. He knew that she had guessed
something.
She had always been smart, otherwise, she wouldn''t have chosen to be a doctor.
She hesitated for a moment. She had no right over the Godfrey family, but it was enough as long as
he could control the whole situation. "It''s fine as long you know what to do."
"It''d be better if you''re around," he said. His gaze was deep, and a single nce was enough for
anyone to sink in.
She blushed. It was not the first time she had heard him say that. However, he rarely spoke words
of affection. In the past, no matter how hard she tried, he would not say them, yet he took the
initiative this time.
People really changed, and she believed in this.
When the two of them walked out of the restaurant, Theodore was reluctant. "Will youe and
see me again?"
"Yes, but I''ve got a lot on my tetely. I''ve developed a new medicine but it''s still a work in
progress."
