Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 515

However, Cynthia, who was living abroad, was particularly dissatisfied with Annie's words. She had to leave the country with her family.

Saniogo also hated them even more.

It was all because of Everleigh.

"Hmph, two illegitimate children, what's so cute about them?" Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Cynthia..."

"Enough, just enjoy your stay there. Everleigh isn't even a confirmed member of the Jenkins family, so what is there to be proud of?" Cynthia said indignantly, then hung up the phone directly.

Hearing that, Annie was stunned. Not a confirmed member of the Jenkins family?

There was a possibility that it was true.

When Annie returned to the living room and saw everyone chatting happily, she felt a little out of place.

Everleigh noticed that she didn't look too happy, so she didn't ask her about the phone call.

"It's getting late, so we have to go back now. The kids have school tomorrow," Everleigh spoke up.

Missha and Saniogo were both a little reluctant. It was rare for the two children to visit them, and the house felt more lively with them around.

"Everleigh, can't you stay the night here?"

"Aunt Missha, we didn't pack anything. Besides, my father isn't feeling well, so I have to bring him for a checkup tomorrow," Everleigh responded awkwardly.

When Saniogo heard that Abraham had fallen ill, he became a little nervous. "Alright then. Come over when you have time. Take good care of your father."

"Sure. Alexander, sorry for troubling you."

He chuckled, "Don't even mention it; we're a family. Come on, let's go." After saying that, he held Alastair and Adrienne's hands and walked to the car.

Missha and Saniogo saw them off for a long time before going back into the house reluctantly.

"Saniogo, the two kids are really too cute. I'm a little envious."

Saniogo didn't respond, and the smile on his face remained. He doted on the two children very much.

When Alexander returned, Annie was still awake.

"Why didn't you go to rest?"

"I've been waiting for you. We haven't had a good conversation ever since I came back." She ordered the servant to serve him a cup of coffee.

Alexander's eyes flashed. He took off his coat, sat down on the sofa, and took a sip of his coffee.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Nothing much; I just wanted to have a chat with you. I will be going back soon, as I've been bothering your family for too long now." Annie picked up her cup of coffee with her slender fingers and drank it.

She looked elegant, and had the exact demeanor of a member of a wealthy family.

"You can stay a little longer if you like."

"No, there are a lot of things to be settled in the company. When I leave, can you take me to the airport?" She looked at him expectantly.

He nodded. "Sure."

"That's great. Oh, by the way, is Miss Trevino always so busy? She looked exhausted just now."

He nodded again. He felt really bad for Everleigh's occupation.

She had to work hard every single day.

Annie noticed the sympathy in his gaze, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Alexander, there's something I want to talk about, but I'm not sure if I should say it." "What is it?"

She thought for a moment and continued, "Alexander, I know it might not sound appropriate for me to say this as I'm not a part of the Jenkins family, but I think we must take our family's dignity seriously. After all, the Jenkins family is a strong, wealthy family, and some people might try to pretend to be a family member."

After finishing her sentence, she observed Alexander's expression carefully. Seeing that he wasn't showing any emotions, she heaved a sigh of relief.

She was only saying it for the Jenkins family's own good; she didn't have any other intentions.

He turned his head and looked at her. He felt that the woman he used to hang out with had become too nosy.

"Are you saying that Everleigh doesn't belong to the Jenkins family?"

"I'm not really sure, but I once met her abroad and felt that she was behaving strangely. I'm just reminding you out of kindness. You'd better not fall for..."

Before she could even finish, Alexander let out a laugh. As his laughter grew louder, the coldness in his eyes grew too.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you, because you're making a baseless conclusion without even knowing anything. Don't you think you're hilarious?"

Annie's expression stiffened as she looked at his reaction. She felt a strange sense of anxiety in her heart.

All of a sudden, his expression changed, and he stared at her coldly. "Annie, our families are considered friends, so I don't want things to become awkward between us. However, you don't seem to remember that this is the Jenkins family's business. Have you forgotten about the previous incident?"

Hearing that, she felt rather uneasy. "If it wasn't for our families' connection, I wouldn't have said such words. I'm just worried that you'd be deceived, so I..."

"Back then, Everleigh didn't know who I was, and didn't even know that she was a child of the Jenkins family. In order to prove it, we had done a DNA test as soon as we found her. She didn't want us to talk about it, but all of you treated her as a liar." He glared at her furiously.

She hadn't expected such an outcome. "A DNA test can be faked too. Are you so sure that..." "Annie, are you trying to make us turn against each other? It doesn't matter if it's real or not, but Everleigh is surely a part of the Jenkins family. You have no rights to make comments on it," Alexander chided angrily, and his dissatisfaction towards her became even more intense.

Annie felt even more aggrieved. She was just doing it for the Jenkins family.

Unexpectedly, her kindness wasn't appreciated at all. "Alexander, how can you..."

"Why can't I? Annie, please remember, I will never intervene in your family's business, so you'd better not meddle in my family's affairs too. Don't you know your place?" His words were like slaps hitting her face.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She was totally devoted to him, but she had never expected to receive such treatment in return.

"Alexander, why are you doing this to me?"

His gaze turned cold as he heard her question. He understood her feelings for him, but he knew that love could never be forced.

If he was to fall in love with a woman, he would give her all his love regardless of her identity, status, or background.

However, Annie wasn't the love of his life.

"Annie, I only treat you as a sister, there is no love between us."

She was completely shocked. It felt as if something in her heart had just exploded.

It turned out that it was just an unrequited love, and she was never the woman in his heart.

As she thought about it, she could no longer hold it in. She got up and rushed back to her room.

Alexander didn't care about her feelings. He knew his words were incredibly hurtful, but it was better not to give her any false hope.

Saniogo had overheard the entire conversation in the corridor, and realized that it was impossible for Alexander and Annie to get together.

"Saniogo." Missha walked out of her room and called him softly.

He gave her a nod, signaling her to talk about it in her room.

The two of them then went in together. She spoke in a low voice, "Is there no future between Alexander and Annie?"
