Chapter 197 You Have to Take Responsibility

Theodore's eyebrows furrowed.

Everleigh, however, was very calm. She stirred the lemonade in the glass with a straw and said in a faint tone, "Did you invite me out for dinner just to tell me this?" "No." Theodore's brows unknitted.

"Then why?" Everleigh looked up at him.

"Because of what I told you in the office that day."

Everleigh's heart skipped a beat and her stirring stopped immediately.

The thing he said in the office that day? The sentence 'how do you know that it's impossible?'

"Have you thought it over?"

Theodore's voice came from opposite her, disrupting Everleigh's train of thought.

"Huh?" Everleigh looked at him, but she hurriedly avoided his eyes the moment she met his gaze. "Are you kidding? What should I think about?"

On that day, because Everleigh had given the cheque to Yvonne as Theodore asked, it had caused her relationship with Yvonne to turn sour. She was so angry that she ran to his office to make a fuss. Later on, the topic of divorce and the cancellation of the engagement came up only because she was angry.

Even if Theodore could really cancel the engagement with Josephine, it was impossible for her to get a divorce immediately. Furthermore, it was also impossible for the Godfrey family to accept a divorced woman with two children into their family.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Theodore's voice was cold. There wasn't a trace of emotion on his face. His eyes were calm enough to make one panic. "This is impossible."

Everleigh raised her head and pinched her palm, trying to look calm too.

"Nothing is impossible. Didn't you say it that day? I will cancel the engagement, and you will get a divorce. If you are worried that I will not cancel the engagement..."

"I won't get a divorce," Everleigh interrupted him directly.

When their eyes met, the air was frozen for a moment, as if a century had passed.
