Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Alexander heard Saniogo’s words and chuckled, “I’ve already asked people to tidy up. There are two rooms, one for Adrienne, and another for Alastair.”

“You should’ve told me earlier,” Saniogo rolled his eyes at him. He turned around and looked at the children. “Let’s go. I will take you to your rooms.”

“Okay.” Adrienne was holding the gift that Alexander gave her. If it hadn’t been for her mommy’s words, she would have opened it long ago.

Alexander was also happy to see the two children. It was the first time they met, so it was not appropriate to welcome them empty-handed.

After looking around the rooms, Adrienne came down and held onto Everleigh’s leg. She said, “Mommy, my room is so beautiful and everything is in pink. Alastair likes black and white, but it turns out that his room is all blue.”

“Alastair likes black and white. Have someone come to change it tomorrow,” Saniogo told the butler.

The butler understood and turned to make a phone call. He asked the workers to refurbish the room.

“You don’t have to go through so much trouble. Whichever color it is, it’ll be fine,” Everleigh spoke up helplessly.

“No, since you’re back at home, it has to be comfortable,” Saniogo replied. It was rare for them to stay with him, so he couldn’t let his grand-nephew feel unhappy.

Alexander knew that his father liked children, but he did not expect that he would do all these for them.

Just then, his phone rang but he hung up without a second thought. “I’m going to the study to take care of something. I’ll come and chat with you later.”

“Okay. Uncle Alexander seems very busy,” Adrienne said in a childish tone.

Everleigh, on the other hand, was already used to it. Her father had been the same when they were young.

They sat in the living room and chatted with each other. Alastair kept silent the entire time. After drinking a few more cups of water, he wanted to go to the bathroom.

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

“Have the servant bring you there,” Saniogo instructed someone to lead the way for him.

Alastair shook his head and said, “I can go by myself. It’s the third room on the left on the second floor.”

“Alastair is really good at memorizing.”

Everleigh smiled and said nothing. She never had to worry about him because he was very sensible.

When Alastair finished using the bathroom and walked out, he saw that the door opposite was half-closed. Through the crack of the door, he could see that Alexander was working. After thinking for a moment, he pushed the door open and went in.

“Uncle.”

“You’re here. Come and have a seat,” Alexander said. Alastair walked over to him. When he looked at the piles of documents on his desk, he felt troubled.

He reached out his little hand and took one of them to have a look.

“Alastair, do you understand the documents?” Alexander saw the serious look on his face; it looked as if he really understood it.

Alastair didn’t answer his question. He stared at the document with a frown. “Uncle, the price is wrong. The market price is 36. 50 dollars. It’ll be too much to purchase it.”

Alexander raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes were full of surprise. “How do you know?”

“There is a stock in my grandpa’s company which is the same as yours. You buy it at the lowest price and sell it at a high price,” Alastair explained.

All of a sudden, Alexander didn’t know how to describe his own feelings.

“Look at this.” He handed the document to him. Alastair raised his head and glanced at Alexander before he focused on the document in his hand.

A few minutes later, he asked slowly, “Uncle, do you want to acquire this company?”

“We are planning to for now.”

“I would advise you not to buy it. This company is in a huge debt. It’s obvious that they’ll run away.”

“But that company’s project is very good. What do you think I should choose?” Alexander asked.

Alastair laughed suddenly and a smile appeared in his clear eyes. “Uncle, why do you have to test me? Such matters should be a breeze for you. You should be able to see right through everything.”

Alexander was caught by him but he wasn’t angry.

On the contrary, he felt that Alastair was a genius in the business field.

He wasn’t this clever when he was his age.

He could tell Everleigh that this child would be able to do well in the business world.

In the evening, Alastair and Adrienne felt sleepy, so they went back to their rooms to have a rest.

Everleigh and Saniogo sat on the sofa and chatted.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

He was surprised by how knowledgeable she was. There were a lot of things she knew at such a young age.

“Everleigh, are you teaching Alastair personally for now?” Alexander asked suddenly.

She was a little confused. “What do you mean?”

“When he entered the study just now, he saw the documents on my desk. He could tell the problem at a glance. If it wasn’t for someone teaching him, he would never be able to find out.”

She thought it was something else, but it turned out to be this matter. She said in a low voice, “My father taught him before. My father said that he was gifted in this field and could get some training. Later, Theodore also taught him, but I don’t know the specifics.”

When Saniogo heard Theodore’s name, his face was ashen. “What can Theodore teach?”

Alexander glanced at him. “Dad, don’t say that. No matter how bad Theodore is, he is still the CEO of the Godfrey family. They are able to thrive because the company is in his hands.”

Saniogo did not reply to him but asked her instead. “Everleigh, are the both of you…”

She nodded and said, “Yes, we’re now together. After all, we still have feelings for each other and we have the children too.”

It was only then that Saniogo realized that his question was unnecessary.

He couldn’t help but sigh. “I took a very long time to find out your whereabouts and when I finally found you and wanted to reunite with you, I discovered that someone from the Godfrey family had hurt you. That’s why I asked Alexander to save you. At that time, there was some internal strife in the Jenkins family, so I had no choice but to come back to deal with it. Everleigh, you’ve been working hard all these years. If possible, I hope that you can spend the rest of your life in peace.”

She understood his intentions. Sometimes what we feel cannot be conveyed clearly through words. Just like when Stainley said that he really wanted to give up, but the pain at the moment of giving up was unbearable, as if someone was constantly being whipped.

That was how she felt at the moment.

If she decided to give up on Theodore, she believed that she wouldn’t be happy either.

It was all because of the Godfrey family, and everything happened without him knowing it. There was no reason for her to hate him.

“Uncle, I know what you mean, but matters relating to love have always been a grey area. You’ve been young before too.”

Saniogo lowered his eyes when he heard this. He couldn’t deny that what she said was true.

Yes, there was never a reason when it came to love. It was like getting addicted to it as it swallowed every part of one’s body.

“I know that it’s useless to say anything now. If you have time, bring him here. As an elder, I have the right to test him.”

“That’s what my father said too,” Everleigh chuckled. She felt warm when she saw Saniogo’s concern for her.

Seeing her laugh, he said in a slightly irritated tone, “Your father did it for your own good. He also wants you to be happy. How can you still laugh?”

“I got it. I’ll talk to him later.”
