Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh was slightly stunned. “Wait, she’s not married yet?”

“You don’t know?” Christopher asked in return.

She shook her head. How would she know? In the past, she didn’t even know that the Jenkins family had a daughter.

After all, it was their first time meeting each other, so she wouldn’t know much about her.

From the expression on her face, he could tell that she knew nothing. He sighed, “Forget it.”

It wasn’t too late to finally know.

Nevertheless, he had only heard about Missha, but never had a chance to meet her in person.

He would definitely like to meet her if he had the chance.

In the afternoon, Everleigh went to Theodore’s company, and brought Alastair and Adrienne along with her.

“Daddy!” Adrienne called out before even entering the room. Theodore immediately knew who it was when he heard the voice. He quickly got up and walked out of the room.

Before he could even open the door, she walked in and hugged his legs. She raised her head and said with a smile, “Daddy, I missed you so much!”

“I missed you too. I bought you some delicious food; they’re on the table. Go and eat them.”

“Okay.” Adrienne’s eyes lit up when she heard about the delicious food, so she sped up and began to eat.

Everleigh and Alastair entered and said, “Don’t eat too much. You’ve eaten a lot just now.”

“Daddy bought it for me, so I must finish it all, or else he’ll feel sad.” Adrienne ate greedily, as if she was afraid that they would take the food away from her.

Everleigh was speechless with her answer. What kind of argument was that?

Theodore took out something for Alastair too. It was a walking cane with his favorite panda pattern on it.

“Thank you.” Alastair received it calmly, but his eyes were full of joy.

Theodore patted his head. The boy was rather similar to him when he was young.

Everleigh took out the gift, but she didn’t take out the rings. Things like that should be bought by the man. She couldn’t lose her honor as a woman.

“This crystal…” Theodore picked it up and looked at it carefully. He remembered that he was invited to the auction. He initially planned to join it, but because the company was facing some problems, he decided not to go.

“Missha gave it to me. I asked Alexander to help me make these. Each of us gets one.” Everleigh picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea; it tasted good.

When he heard that each of them had one, the corners of his lips curled into a faint smile. Did that mean that they were a family of four?

“Daddy, Alastair and I have one too. Look.” As Adrienne spoke, she took out the pendant on her neck. It was a small crystal pendant that was very exquisitely made.

Theodore wasted no time and wore the necklace directly around his neck. He felt that his heart was finally complete.

“Can you bring Alastair and Adrienne over to your place tonight? I have to go back to the Jenkins family home.” Everleigh specially went to the office to hand the two kids over to him.

Abraham had a meeting to sign a contract that evening, and Selena was busy with her movie’s shooting. Since no one was free, she had no choice but to pass the children to him.

“Why are you going there?”

“Missha is back, so I have to go and visit her. After all, she’s my aunt. She doesn’t know about the two kids just yet. If she somehow finds out about them, then we’ll see what we can do,” she responded helplessly.

Theodore nodded. He didn’t mind at all. In fact, he was delighted that the two children could stay with him.

Alastair raised his head and asked, “Mommy, is that lady easy to get along with?”

Everleigh lowered her head to look at him and chuckled, “Of course. If not, why would she give you the crystal?”

However, Alastair thought otherwise. A person couldn’t be judged simply by the gifts they gave.

A person who was fierce and malicious could look like the kindest and friendliest person from the outside. However, their brutality could be beyond imagination.

He remained silent. Theodore, on the other hand, understood his thoughts. People from wealthy families just weren’t as simple as they looked. The Godfrey family was certainly the best example.

He had a good girlfriend, but his family messed everything up, and he almost lost the love of his life.

In the evening, Everleigh had dinner with the three of them before she went to the Jenkins family home.

As soon as she arrived, she saw Missha and Saniogo sitting on the sofa. Both of them had a grim look, as if they were discussing something important.

“Master, Miss Trevino is here.” The butler informed as he saw Everleigh walking in.

The two of them then looked over to the door as Saniogo asked, “Everleigh, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you give us a call to go and pick you up?”

“No need, I drove here myself, so it’s more convenient for me.” Everleigh brought along some snacks with her. She didn’t know if they would like them or not. It was just a little gift from her.

Looking at the things in her hands, Missha smiled and said, “Oh Yasmine, that’s really kind of you. Have you had dinner yet? I can ask them to prepare some food for you.”

“It’s okay, I’ve already eaten,” she explained.

Missha nodded and didn’t insist anymore. She smiled brightly as she saw the pendant on her necklace. “Mr. Lanwell’s craftsmanship is really getting better and more exquisite!”

Everleigh was surprised and looked at the necklace on her own neck. “Aunt Missha, you know this expert too?”

“Mr. Lanwell and I are old friends; there’s a bit of history between us. I can introduce you to him in the future,” Saniogo explained as he sat aside.

He heard about Everleigh’s request from Alexander, and it was his suggestion to look for Mr. Lanwell to make the jewelry.

Everleigh nodded. She didn’t really care about meeting Mr. Lanwell.

She stayed there, and Missha talked to her non-stop while holding her hand, as if she had decades of stories to tell.

Saniogo had some other things to deal with, so he left the two of them there chattering.

“Yasmine, you look just like your mother, but your eyes are different. They look like your father’s,” Missha stared into Everleigh’s eyes. Her eyes were flashing with reminiscence and indescribable emotion.

Everleigh noticed the odd emotions in her eyes. It didn’t look like she missed her brother. It looked more like… She just couldn’t describe it.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re pretty close to my father, right?” Everleigh asked softly.

Missha lowered her head, and her eyes were slightly red. “Of course, in this family, he loved me the most. Unfortunately…”

Everleigh was slightly relieved when she heard it. If that was the case, it was understandable why she seemed so grateful.

“Your father had always been excellent in every aspect since he was young. Your other uncles couldn’t even be compared to him. Otherwise, the Jenkins family wouldn’t have been handed over to him.”

“Then, why did you choose to move abroad?” Everleigh asked curiously. In fact, she was even more curious to know why she hadn’t been married for so many years.

Missha tilted her head and smiled faintly; her smile was full of bitterness. “That’s because when your father passed away, there was an internal conflict within the family. In order to save the Jenkins family, Saniogo used up all his connections, but it still wasn’t enough. There wasn’t any choice for me but to go overseas to maintain the market abroad. Only then did we get through the crisis.”

Thinking back to everything that had happened in the past, she was the only one who knew how much pain and helplessness she had to go through and endure all by herself.

Everleigh wasn’t a businessperson, but judging from Missha’s expression, she could tell that things were really challenging back then.

“What about Uncle Yeezoo and Uncle Luqman?”

Missha sneered, with a hint of disgust in her shrewd eyes. “Yasmine, I believe that as a doctor, you have met all kinds of people. Can’t you see what kind of people those two are?”

Everleigh was startled for a moment. It was true; she could tell their personalities.
