Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 390 From Now Onward

Alastair sat quietly at the side. He knew Stainley was into his mother, but she was not interested at all. Everleigh would always feel awkward whenever Stainley was around.

Hence, how could she possibly fall in love with someone who always made things difficult for her?

"Since when have you become so straightforward?" Stainley asked in a deep voice.

Everleigh lowered her head. She didn't want to do it, but then, being evasive and subtle with him every single time would only give him more false hope.

Christopher was right. She shouldn't have held back on Stainley just because she felt grateful towards him. It would only hurt him more.

"Actually, I should've done this a long time ago. Stainley, I know how you feel about me all these years, but I already have someone in my heart, and this is just troubling me. I wanted to talk to you about this earlier, but I didn't want to hurt you," she said. Her voice was as lovely as ever, but her words were as hurtful as a dagger.

"Everleigh, I know you're feeling troubled, but my feelings for you are from the heart," he replied.

"I know that you are sincere. Stainley, it's not worth it to waste so much time on me. I love him, and I've always loved him. My feelings for him have never changed," she smiled bitterly. She couldn't believe it either. She didn't know why she still loved Theodore after all the times his family had hurt him.

She kept saying that she hated him, but deep in her heart, she knew her true feelings for him.

Christopher had already seen through it, whereas Stainley was just devoting himself to the unrequited love.

Stainley could feel his heart shattering upon hearing her words. It was the first time he learned how painful it actually was to hear Everleigh rejecting him.

"Everleigh, I'd prefer you to not be that straightforward," he said.

"Then why can't you just give up on me?" Everleigh asked him back. She was serious.

She had been curious about it for a long time. Why wouldn't he give up liking her? If he stopped having feelings for her, they could perhaps be more comfortable around each other.

Even if they could no longer be friends, they could at least be complete strangers, rather than being stuck in such an awkward situation.
