Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 219 Inherit His Family's Business

When she first heard these words, Everleigh thought that Theodore thought that her cooking skills were too poor. However, after looking at him for a while, she suddenly felt that this wasn't what he meant. She saw a bit of chagrin in his eyes. Although he tried his best to hide it, it still failed to escape her eyes.

"It's really okay," Everleigh explained, "Don't I usually bump into things and scratch myself? I'm not that pampered."

Then Theodore's expression turned serious. "If you want to be a good doctor, then stop cooking."

Everleigh's expression froze. This seemed to be the first time she had heard Theodore talk about working with her.

The path to becoming a doctor was tedious, and many students graduated from Ocpeace Medical University every year. However, not many actually made it to the operating theater to save lives.

When she was in college, Theodore had told her that she might not need to take this path in the future and that she didn't have to push herself too hard. Because of this, she had been angry with him and felt that he did not respect her dream

career.

Now, it seemed that she was really not sensible at that time. She didn't understand the meaning of his words and he didn't share her feelings either. Quarrels were common but despite all that, they had been together for many years indeed. "Let's eat." Theodore's voice pulled Everleigh out of her reverie.

Then, she picked up her cutlery and ate. Hesitantly, she asked, "Why did you give up the path of a diplomat at that time?"

Theodore was the first-rate scholarship winner of the Foreign Language Department for four consecutive years. He was an outstanding graduate. That year, he was admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as soon as he graduated. Everyone thought that he would become a diplomat, and Everleigh also believed in him.

"Xavier met with a car accident and there was no one left to helm the Godfrey family."

His words were simple and to the point, and it was enough to explain away the choice he made that year.

Everleigh pursed her lips and suddenly regretted asking this question.

"Have some ribs; they're quite tasty." She awkwardly changed the topic and picked up a piece of ribs and put it onto Theodore's plate. After that, she carefully observed Theodore's expression.
