Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Theodore had no choice but to give up.

If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame his father. It was all because of him.

Up until now, he couldn’t muster up the courage to face Everleigh’s family.

Returning to the Trevino family, Everleigh informed Hilda of their plan for the evening, then she took Alastair and Adrienne to the Jenkins family home.

Saniogo had already told them that if she wanted to visit them in the future, they would keep the door open to welcome her. No one was allowed to mistreat them.

“Mommy, the house here is so big.” Adrienne was a little dazzled, especially in the big garden where there was a large fountain.

She felt cool and refreshed when she looked at it.

“Do you like it?” Everleigh asked with a smile.

“I like it. If I can live with Mommy and Daddy, I will like it more,” Adrienne responded with a smile.

There was a sparkle in her eyes.

Everleigh smiled without saying a word.

They stopped the car and got out.

“Miss Everleigh, you are finally here,” the butler said when he saw her getting out of the car as he came out from the house.

“What’s going on here?”

The butler smiled, “It’s all because of Master. He kept coming out to see if you all had arrived. If I hadn’t told him to get some rest first, the person who would have come out to greet you would be him.”

Everleigh knew how much her uncle doted on her. She lowered her eyes and looked at the two children holding her hands. “Let’s go. Did you hear Mr. Mark? Grand-Uncle can’t wait any longer.”

“Yes. Thank you Mr. Mark for coming to pick me up,” Adrienne said very respectfully, revealing her row of small teeth.

Hearing her voice, the butler’s expression froze for a moment. Then, he laughed and said, “Okay, come on in.”

The two children looked too adorable.

Master would definitely be delighted when he saw them.

When the four of them entered, they saw Saniogo pacing back and forth in the living room.

When he saw them walking in, he smiled and strode over. “Why are you so late?” He asked. “I’ve been waiting for so long.”

“Nice to meet you, Grand-Uncle!” Alastair and Adrienne called at the same time.

Saniogo looked at the two adorable kids and instantly revealed a loving smile. “These must be Alastair and Adrienne, right? Nice to meet you.”

“Alastair, Grand-Uncle seems to be a nice person,” Adrienne said with a chuckle.

Alastair didn’t say anything but looked at his grand-uncle with an indifferent face.

“Adrienne, you are so obedient. Hah! Come, give me a hug!” As Saniogo spoke, he stretched out one arm to embrace her. With the other arm, he held Alastair’s hand and walked in.

He knew that Alastair didn’t like people to hold him. It was quite obvious that this child had a cool personality.

Everleigh followed behind them. Seeing that there were plenty of delicacies on the dining table, it seemed that Saniogo had put in a lot of effort to welcome these two children.

Alastair and Adrienne sat next to Saniogo. He asked the servants to bring over the desserts they had just bought.

Adrienne was eating the delicacies when she said, “Grand-Uncle, this dessert is the same as the one my mommy brought last time.”

“If you like it, I will buy it for you everyday.”

“Okay, thank you Grand-Uncle!” Adrienne was eager to have someone bring over all of the desserts.

She didn’t want to miss this opportunity, and Alastair knew what she was thinking when he looked at her sly smile.

Saniogo really liked the children very much. Although Alastair didn’t speak much, he looked like an adult when Saniogo watched him closely.

Adrienne kept chattering away and looked very cute.

The two children were brought up well by Everleigh.

“Eat less. We’re going to have dinner later.” Everleigh was about to say something but was worried that Saniogo would overthink things, so she kept quiet. Adrienne had almost finished all the desserts.

“It’s alright, the children like it.” Saniogo couldn’t bear to see Adrienne pout. She was just a child after all; it wasn’t a big deal for her to be greedy for food.

Even though Adrienne was pouting, she was still well-behaved. She put down the desserts obediently.

“Let’s have dinner,” Saniogo said softly as he looked at Adrienne.

Everleigh did not see Alexander after looking around for some time. “Where’s Alexander?”

“He’ll be here soon. Let’s not wait for him for now,” Saniogo waved and said indifferently.

Obviously, it didn’t matter whether Alexander was there or not.

Everleigh was still a little confused about how it was in the Jenkins family, where women were valued more than men. For a moment, she thought that Alexander must have lived a difficult life there.

At the dining table, Adrienne looked at the table full of delicious food and her eyes were fixed on them. She didn’t know where to start.

“Mommy, there’s so much delicious food,” Adrienne said as she picked some up with her fork.

Saniogo’s smiling eyes were in the shape of crescent moons and his gaze never left Adrienne.

“Eat more if you like it.”

“Thank you, Grand-Uncle, for giving me so much delicious food!” Adrienne was sweet and she was good at pleasing people.

Saniogo was happy and satisfied by her words.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

He kept putting food on her plate, as if he was afraid that she would miss out on any of the dishes.

After eating, Alexander finally hurried back. As soon as he entered the door, he took off his suit jacket and said, “Didn’t I say that I would pick you up? Why did you bring the children here by yourself?”

“I’m working tomorrow so I wanted to drive myself,” Everleigh explained.

He pulled out a chair and looked at the two children, especially Alastair. He looked extremely similar to Theodore.

“Alastair and Adrienne, this is Uncle Alexander.”

“Hello, Uncle Alexander,” the two children greeted him at the same time.

“Hello. It’s the first time we’ve met and I bought you two a gift. Take a look and see if you like it or not.” Alexander came back late because he wanted to prepare a gift for them.

Alastair and Adrienne took it and put it aside together, with no intention to open it.

“Don’t you want to open it and have a look?”

Alastair said seriously, “Mommy said that the gifts have to be opened when we go home. It’s respectful that way.”

Hearing this, Alexander looked at Everleigh and said, “You really know how to educate your children well.”

“As a mother, it’s my responsibility to educate them. I don’t want to become a bad mother who raised up devils who will harm the society,” she said solemnly.

She was very proud of her children.

Saniogo nodded. “That’s the right idea. I’ve been letting him do whatever he wants when I raised your cousin back then. It’s alright, he’s doing well now.”

His words made Alexander want to laugh and weep at the same time. “Dad, you don’t have to say this kind of thing.”

“Haha! Uncle Alexander is handsome and upright,” Adrienne said with a smile.

Upon hearing her words, Saniogo’s eyebrows arched slightly. “You know what upright means?”

“Our teacher taught us, it means to behave in an upright manner. We should never cheat on others no matter where we are,” Adrienne said in a cute tone. She was right, but he felt funny listening to her words.

“Yes, yes, Adrienne, you will also be an upright person in the future.”

“Well, Mommy said that I have to be a useful person to contribute to society,” Adrienne answered with a smile.

Everyone in the room laughed.

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

After dinner, Alexander asked them to stay for the night. Everleigh wanted to stay as well. Looking at Saniogo’s reluctant eyes, she couldn’t bear to go back just yet.

When Adrienne heard that she could stay here, she cheered, “Thank you, Mommy!”

Saniogo was also overjoyed. He quickly ordered, “Go tidy up a room. Buy some children’s things tomorrow, understand?”
