Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh smiled. She still needed to thank him. After all, he had been working hard on this matter for more than 20 years. There was no reason to put all the blame on him.

“Miss Trevino, do you believe it was your aunt who did this?” Elvir looked at her with a stern look on his face.

She pursed her lips and said nothing. After a while, she said, “I actually don’t know if I should believe it or not. What happened recently has gone beyond my scope. I am unable to understand many of my aunt’s actions.”

“Well, that means you believe she’s the one. I’ve met your aunt before. She seemed to have something planned in her mind. I get goosebumps every time I see her.”

He had never said this to anyone because of Missha’s identity. She was a member of the Jenkins family and was close to Saniogo.

There was no reason to doubt her in this matter.

However, Qusay’s words reminded him quite a bit. The people of the Jenkins family had indeed gone over to the scene that year, but he didn’t suspect them.

“You are more inclined to Qusay’s words, aren’t you?”

“Yes, I do believe his words.” Everleigh did not deny it. She had a bad impression of Missha then.

She felt that things were a little different from what she thought.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Be careful about what’s going on with your aunt. She’s not a simple person to deal with.”

“I have had a taste of it.” She smiled wryly. Wilson was the best example, wasn’t he?

He sighed softly and said no more. He turned and walked out.

In the afternoon, Everleigh received a call from Missha, who wanted to take her to dinner with the two children.

“Alright.” Everleigh couldn’t refuse.

Missha came to find Everleigh and they went to pick Alastair and Adrienne up. When the two children saw that their mother was coming over, their hearts were filled with joy. “Mommy.”

“Alastair, Adrienne, hurry up and get in the car. We’re going for delicious food.” Missha waved, gesturing for them to come over.

“Okay.”

They took the children to a restaurant. Missha knew what Alastair and Adrienne liked and ordered a lot of food.

“Aunt Missha, that’s a little too much.”

“It’s fine since they like it.” Missha waved, turned to Adrienne and said, “Adrienne, eat whatever you like. If it’s not enough, just tell me.”

“Okay.” Adrienne ate a lot of food. Her face was full of cream from the cake.

It looked funny.

Alastair looked neat and tidy as usual.

“Everleigh, you raised your children well.” Looking at Alastair, Missha was very satisfied.

A boy should be more polite so that he would look like a gentleman.

“I’ve never needed to worry about Alastair. He has his own opinions.”

“It’s a good thing to have your own opinions. It’s much better than blindly following others,” Missha said softly and looked up at her niece. “Everleigh, are you still angry?”

“Why should I be?”

“You have been a bit estranged from me during this period of time. I know it all. Everleigh, can’t you just say what’s in your mind?” This dinner was arranged because Missha wanted to have a good talk with her.

Everleigh held her cutlery and ate slowly. The complicated emotions in her eyes could be seen clearly.

“Aunt Missha, I’m disappointed with what’s going on between you and Wilson. I believe that you are aware of his character. Why are you working with him? I don’t believe a word of your excuse. Aunt Missha, tell me honestly, what is your purpose for doing this?” Everleigh looked at her indifferently.

Missha looked into the pair of eyes and was a little absent-minded. After a long while, she finally said, “Everleigh, you’ll understand why I’m doing this in the future.”

“Why can’t you say it now? I hate to see dirty tricks. To me, you’re just finding an excuse for yourself,” Everleigh replied coldly. She was unwilling to accept the fact that everything turned out that way.

What was Missha’s intention? She really couldn’t see through her thoughts.

“Everleigh, I’m doing this out of goodwill. I’m doing this for your own good.”

“I don’t care whether it’s good or not. Aunt Missha, let’s not talk about this matter anymore.” Everleigh knew that she didn’t want to tell the truth, so she would just let it be.

Missha looked at her expression and didn’t say anything more.

Alastair sat in his seat, quietly listening to their conversation.

After the meal, Everleigh called Theodore and asked him to pick them up.

Missha smiled helplessly. “I’ll send you home.”

“There’s no need, I can go back on my own. Besides, we’re not too far from Theodore’s company,” Everleigh rejected her offer.

Missha could see that Everleigh didn’t want to stay with her, but she was just too polite to say so.

It didn’t take long for Theodore to appear at the restaurant’s entrance. “Aunt Missha.”

“You’re here. That’s great. I’ll go back first.” Missha only left after she saw him.

He nodded without saying anything.

It wasn’t until Missha left that he withdrew his gaze. He turned and said, “Why did you have dinner with her?”

“It’s a long story. Let’s go back.” Everleigh was exhausted and wanted to have a good rest.

Theodore could tell that she was tired and didn’t want to say anything else. They turned and walked out.

It was rare for Adrienne to stay quiet along their way home. The main reason was that she could feel that her mother wasn’t in a good mood. Alastair and Adrienne got out of the car when they reached the Trevino family home.

When they arrived, Abraham and Selena were having dinner. When they heard someone come in, they turned around and glanced at them.

The family of four had returned.

“Have you had dinner yet?”

“We’ve eaten.” Everleigh had already had her dinner. She turned to look at Theodore and asked, “You haven’t eaten yet, have you?”

He nodded. He walked over and sat next to Abraham, asking Hilda to bring him another set of cutlery. He looked so natural that he seemed to be in his own home.

Abraham and Selena looked at each other and said nothing.

After dinner, Alastair and Adrienne went back to their rooms to rest. The adults sat on the sofa.

In the room, Alastair turned on his computer and searched for information about Missha. Adrienne walked over and asked, “Alastair, what are you looking at?”

“I’m looking for some information. You should get some rest.”

“Alastair, don’t you think there’s something wrong with Grand-Aunt today?” She didn’t reply to his statement. Instead, she sat on the bed and asked carefully.

He turned to look at her. He didn’t know how to answer her question.

Even Adrienne could tell, let alone their mommy.

“Adrienne, this matter has nothing to do with you. You should go rest quickly,” he urged.

She was obedient. She got out of bed and went back to her room.

After she left, Alastair’s face was covered with frost and his big eyes were full of coldness, which didn’t fit his appearance at all.

His little fingers typed on the keyboard continuously.

Downstairs, Everleigh asked Selena, “Where is Leon?”

“Not home yet.”

“Where did he go?”

Selena rolled her eyes. “Where else can he go? He can only work in the company. He has been dealing with the Allen family’s affairs recently. Speaking of which, he hasn’t had a good rest for days.”

Everleigh looked at her and suddenly burst out laughing. “You can’t bear to see him suffer, right?”
