Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 51 You Can't Tell A Lie

After the two children fell asleep, Everleigh tucked them in and left the bedroom.

There was an unread text message on her phone from Stainley.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

After reading the message, Everleigh looked hesitant. After a while, she replied, "Okay, thank you."

The person on the receiving end seemed to be waiting by his phone. In the next second, he replied, "You're welcome. It's on the way anyway. You should go to bed. Good night." "Good night."

Stainley had always taken good care of her. Although she tried to convince herself that his concern was because they were acquaintances, or perhaps a mutual friendship like Christopher and her, her intuition told her that it was more than that. After staring at her phone for a long time, she sent a message to Christopher, "Last time you said that your friend had a car to sell, please get me his contact."

...

The next morning, the sky was dark. Summers in Ocpeace City were always filled with thunderstorms.

As soon as Everleigh stepped out of the building, she saw Stainley's car.

"You didn't have breakfast, right?" Asked Stainley. He reached behind him, brought out a bag from the backseat, and handed it to her. "I got you some breakfast."

"Thank you." Everleigh took it from him, then looked inside the bag and saw a sandwich and coffee. She smiled and said, "I'm already troubling you by asking for transport to work, but I did not even think to bring breakfast for you. Instead, you brought breakfast for me. I'm so sorry for the trouble."

"There's nothing to be sorry about. You're on the way anyway. I bought the food somewhere near your place too."

Everleigh nodded thoughtfully, opened the sandwich, and chatted with Stainley while eating.
