Chapter 57 Everleigh Is Not Coming Here Anymore?

Theodore's words startled Everleigh. Her eyes and brows dropped as she instantly avoided his gaze.

"No."

Although it sounded simple, the denial was not very convincing.

"It's not?"

"Of course not." Everleigh pursed her lips and raised her head after a second of hesitation. "Why are you asking so many questions? It doesn't matter why I left seven years ago. You're getting married soon, and I have my own career. We both live separate lives now and no one's holding each other back."

That was just how the world worked. Life goes on even when someone leaves your life. There was no need to dwell on the past.

Theodore's eyes turned cold, and he said, with emphasis on each word, "No one's holding each other back?"

Everleigh's heart jolted. When she noticed the anger in the man's eyes, her face became stiff. She wanted to say something to explain but then decided against it. She remained silent.
