Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Missha sounded slightly unnatural when she talked about it.

Everleigh noticed it and frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.

They were all part of a big family, but everyone was too polite when talking to each other, as if they were strangers.

After dinner, Luqman, Yeezoo, and their families left. Before Linggon left, he said to Missha, “Aunt Missha, I will come here and visit you tomorrow if I have time.”

“Sure, I’ll be here for the next few days. I’m not going anywhere else.” Missha looked at him lovingly.

Linggon gave her a big smile before he left.

Everleigh could see that their relationship seemed to be really good.

“Yasmine, why are you standing over there? Come and have a seat.”

“Nah, it’s getting late, I have to go back now,” Everleigh said as she looked at her watch. It was almost eleven o’clock.

Missha looked at her in surprise. “Why aren’t you staying here?”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“I live at the Trevino family’s home. I’ve been living there for quite a long time now. Plus, my father wants me to spend more time with him.”

Missha heard her words and felt that it was rather reasonable. It was normal for someone to live with their own parents.

Everleigh’s decision made sense.

“Well, why don’t you come over tomorrow and stay for a night? That way, I can spend more time with you before I leave,” Missha suggested with a hint of disappointment.

Everleigh nodded.

She was fine with it, but she wasn’t planning on bringing the kids along. Alastair’s temper was too stubborn, and he still remembered the previous incident.

Saniogo wanted her to bring the children along, but before he could even open his mouth, Everleigh said, “Uncle, I’ll go back now. Have a good rest.”

He was slightly taken aback by her words, but he didn’t say anything.

Alexander sent Everleigh back home. On her way back, she asked, “Alexander, can you please not let Aunt Missha know that I have two kids?”

“Why not?”

“Well, we didn’t have a good time previously. The two of them are still holding a grudge. If you tell her about the children and they don’t show up tomorrow, it would break her heart. I’ll let them meet her when we have a chance in the future,” Everleigh made up an excuse casually.

She wasn’t being petty, but Cynthia’s attitude during the last incident had made everything clear. Missha looked kind and friendly from the outside, but Everleigh had a strange feeling about her, especially when she was looking at her.

She couldn’t understand the complicated emotions in her eyes.

Alexander turned his head over and glanced at her. He knew that the incident with Cynthia the previous time had more or less affected the two children. “I will talk to my father about it. Don’t worry.”

When he sent her off at the door, Everleigh gave him the crystal.

He thought that she didn’t want it, so he quickly said, “Aunt Missha gave you this gift. Are you really going to get rid of it?”

“No, I just need your help to make me four pendants out of this gem. This piece of crystal is really big, so I believe that they can be made. If there are any leftovers, just make me anything else with it.” Everleigh figured that a big piece of precious stone like that should be shared with others. She wanted to give Alastair, Adrienne, Theodore and herself one pendant each.

Thinking carefully about it, she hadn’t actually given Theodore any valuable gifts.

“Just leave it to me, it can be completed by tomorrow.” Alexander initially thought that she wanted to give it back.

However, after she mentioned that she wanted to forge four items out of it, he knew what she was planning to do with it.

After he returned to the Jenkins family home, he told Saniogo about the children’s matter.

Saniogo sighed softly, “Everleigh must still be holding a grudge.”

“That’s not necessarily the case. As a parent, she probably doesn’t want her children to be hurt. Just listen to her. After all, the children are her life.” Alexander tried to persuade him.

Saniogo nodded. He understood her intentions. Since it was her request, he would naturally agree to it.

The next day, Everleigh saw Selena eating some snacks with a troubled expression as soon as she woke up.

“What’s the matter?”

“Nothing.” Hearing her voice all of a sudden, Selena jumped up in shock.

Everleigh’s brows knitted slightly. She didn’t look fine at all.

“Did something happen between you and Jorben?”

As they talked about it, Selena put down the fork and knife in her hands and said angrily, “It’s not me, it’s Leon. I don’t know what’s wrong with him, but he’s causing trouble with my production team every single day, and even had an argument with Jorben.”

When Everleigh heard about it, although she was a little surprised at first, she could understand Leon’s intentions.

“Do you still have any feelings for him?” Everleigh asked seriously while observing Selena’s expression at the same time.

Selena went silent for a long time and couldn’t say anything.

“You don’t have to say anything. I know how you’re feeling. I’ve studied psychology. I can understand all your thoughts. Selena, I just hope that you’re not using a man to forget about another person. It’s unfair for you, and it’s certainly unfair for that man,” Everleigh advised her.

Love was irreplaceable. There was no need to hide or suppress one’s feelings for another. The only way out was to completely forget about someone before moving on. That was the only fair solution for everyone.

“But Leon…”

“I’ve seen his changes in the past few months. If you want to continue the relationship, it’s not impossible, but it’s your decision.” Everleigh concluded her opinion. It was up to Selena whether she wanted to take her advice or not.

As soon as Christopher arrived at the hospital, he saw a gift box on Everleigh’s desk, with an orchid pattern printed onto it.

“Everleigh, do you know Mr. Lanwell?” When he saw her walking in, he quickly grabbed her hand and asked.

She was shocked by his reaction. “What are you talking about?”

“What am I talking about? Don’t you know what you’ve ordered? Mr. Lanwell is incredibly famous for his handmade works! Sometimes, money can’t even buy you his jewelry, don’t you know?” Christopher once wanted to customize a set of jewelry for his mother, Vanessa, but… His request was rejected before he could even meet the famous craftsman.

Mentioning it, he was still a little sad.

Everleigh looked at him in confusion. She didn’t know what he was talking about until she looked at the jewelry on her table.

“Did Alexander drop by this morning?”

“How did you know?” Christopher had met him at the door.

They did greet each other, but they didn’t say anything.

Everleigh opened the box and saw the ornaments inside. In addition to the four crystal pendants she asked for, there were another two rings.

Christopher’s eyes widened. “Oh my gosh, amethyst cacoxenite! Do you know the worth of the crystal in this box? It appeared in an international auction just recently!”

“How much is it?”

She could tell that it was very precious, but she didn’t know the exact value.

He raised his index finger and looked at her quietly.

She smiled awkwardly, “A million dollars?”

“One billion.”

She almost dropped the ring on her hand. One billion dollars for the piece of gemstone?

It meant that one single ring cost at least tens of millions of dollars.

Missha was too generous.

Everleigh couldn’t possibly pay her back for her entire life.

“Who gave it to you? I heard that it was bought by a woman.” When Christopher mentioned it, his eyes suddenly widened. “Are you the woman?”

“Do I look like a crazy rich person to you?”

“Who gave it to you then?”

“It’s my aunt.”

He was left totally flabbergasted. “Missha Jenkins?”

She nodded. For a moment, she regretted accepting the gift. If she had known the price earlier, she wouldn’t have accepted it.

Now that it had been made into jewelry, how could she return it?

“I think you’d better accept it. I heard that Missha is everyone’s favorite girl in the Jenkins family; she’s just like a precious stone. Despite this, the public doesn’t understand why she’s still unmarried yet.”
