Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

He was speechless just thinking back to that scene. He did not forget the second half of his father's words.

Everleigh shook her head and replied coldly, "The children are too young, and the situation is unstable now. It's better that they don't show up just yet. However, Uncle Saniogo can come and see them whenever he wants to." Alexander did not object. He could tell that Everleigh was dissatisfied with their behavior earlier. If she really brought her children with her, the situation could get worse.

When they reached the gate of the Trevino family's home, she got out of the car and said to him, "Have a safe drive back."

"Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow." Alexander smiled and started to leave.

Everleigh felt that he was a real gentleman. No matter how displeased he was, his smile never wavered.

Compared to Theodore, they were two polar opposites.

Thinking of him, Everleigh took out her phone to check her messages, but there were none. It was a little strange that he did not look for her.

She wondered if something had happened to him.

At that moment, Theodore was sitting in his study looking up Alexander's information.

Moses stood beside him and said with a stern face, "Alexander has long since returned home. On the day of his arrival, Miss Trevino was the one who went to pick him up." "When did he come back?"

"I heard that he came back to welcome the eldest daughter of the Jenkins family at the banquet to be held in two days."

Theodore's brows furrowed into a frown. The eldest daughter of the Jenkins family?

He only remembered Luqman having one daughter. Who else could it be?

Seeing his confusion, Moses explained, "I heard that she's Welment Jenkins' child. Saniogo has been looking for her for many years, but they had only found her recently. Naturally, he wants to introduce her to the public." "Has the Jenkins family sent out the invitations for the banquet?"

Moses did not answer. Instead, he took out the invitation he had received a few days ago, "Here."

"Okay, get ready. We're going to attend," Theodore replied. He had a feeling that the party was not going to be simple.

Moses nodded and said, "I'll arrange it."

After Moses left, Theodore took out his phone. He hesitated, not sure if he should call Everleigh or not. However, after staring at her number for a while, he put down his phone.

He believed that she was not a vain person. There must be a reason why she had left with Alexander.

Upon returning home, Everleigh ate the fish they had caught and listened to their stories. The atmosphere was extremely wonderful.

Her face was full of smiles. She had really experienced a lot of ups and downs that night. She had endured scornful looks and taunts, but when she returned home, she was enveloped with warmth. She felt that life was simply mediocre. The next day, when Everleigh got off work, she saw a box on the coffee table.

Hilda saw her and quickly explained, "Miss Everleigh, someone sent this for you."

"Alright." Everleigh took the box and went upstairs. She already knew who had sent it.

After opening it, she saw a pure white dress decorated with diamonds, a pair of high-heeled shoes covered with diamonds, and a diamond hairpin.

She chuckled and said to herself, "You really think of me as a princess."

The entire outfit looked very expensive, and the diamonds on it were genuine.

She could also tell what her Uncle Saniogo and Alexander's intentions were. They wanted her to appear like a princess in front of everyone.

The eldest daughter of the Jenkins family should be incomparable.

She reached out her hand to touch the dress, and her eyes brimmed with tears. She knew that Saniogo wanted to make up for the loss she had suffered for so many years, but in fact, she was already very satisfied with the way the father and son treated her.

At the very least, there was still someone in the Jenkins family who cared about her.

And at least she knew that she had a strong backing.

On the day of the banquet, Alexander came personally to pick up Everleigh and Abraham.

Hilda stayed home and looked after Alastair and Adrienne.

Abraham walked out, but he froze when he saw Alexander. He felt as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Hello, Mr. Trevino. It's my first time meeting you. My name is Alexander, and I'm Everleigh's cousin."

"Hello, Mr. Jenkins," Abraham came back to his senses and replied.

Alexander's body straightened. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face, and his star-like eyes sparkled. "Mr. Trevino, thank you for taking care of Everleigh. The Jenkins family owes you greatly, and you will be an important guest at tonight's event."

Abraham lowered his gaze slightly and said, "It's fine, Mr. Jenkins." When he said this, his face was a little unhappy.

He did not take Everleigh away for the sake of the Jenkins family.

Instead, he just wanted to be worthy of the love of his life.

Alexander sensed his dissatisfaction and felt a little perplexed. He tilted his head to look at Everleigh, wondering if he had said something wrong.

She did not understand it in the past, but now, she knew of her father's love for her mother.

"Dad, Alexander is just grateful towards you. After all, I've grown up under the Trevino household. You're not only my father, but also the benefactor of the Jenkins family," she held Abraham's hand and explained. Alexander nodded, "I did not make myself clear just now, Mr. Trevino, please don't take it to heart."

"It's okay. We should get going. Let's not waste time." Abraham's expression eased quite a bit, and he opened the door and got into the car.

Alexander breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Everleigh guiltily. She simply shrugged. He did not know the reason, and she did not blame him.

The three of them entered through the back door and went upstairs to rest. Saniogo had been waiting for them in the foyer, while Luqman and Yeezoo were downstairs welcoming guests.

When the door to the foyer opened, Saniogo quickly walked over. "You're finally here."

"Uncle," Everleigh called as she went in.

He nodded. The smile remained on his face as he carefully assessed her. He was very satisfied with her appearance that evening. "Our little princess should be dressed this beautifully."

She was a little embarrassed and tucked her hair behind her ear unnaturally.

"Uncle Saniogo, let me introduce my father." Everleigh stopped Abraham and took a few steps forward.

Undoubtedly, Saniogo knew who he was. He had found out all of his information while investigating the case.

"Mr. Trevino, thank you so much for taking care of Everleigh all these years."

"Don't say that." Abraham's voice was neither humble nor pushy. Instead, he spoke as if it was only natural for him to do so.

Alexander was a little confused. He thought, "What does Mr. Trevino mean?"

"Sit over here and rest for a bit. The banquet will begin after a while." Saniogo pulled him to a chair on the side.

Abraham and Everleigh sat down. There were snacks and fruits on the coffee table, and they were all her favorites.

"Mr. Trevino, to tell you the truth, I've been on the lookout for Everleigh all these years. I hoped that I could do something for my brother, so I really appreciate your efforts," Saniogo said gratefully, his eyes turning slightly red. The corners of Abraham's mouth stiffened as he looked at him. "Don't mention it."

"Dad, you guys continue chatting. I'll take Everleigh to see my friends." Alexander felt that it was not suitable for them to stay there.

They'd better leave first.
