Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Saniogo sighed, “My son has grown up now. There are many things that I simply can’t control.”

Missha’s gaze darkened. After a long while, she said, “The Lawson family is rather influential abroad. It would be a good thing if there can be a marriage between the two families. Saniogo, think about it.”

He glanced at her indifferently. “Missha, why didn’t you get married with the Long family then?”

“Saniogo, what do you mean?”

“Back then, you said you didn’t want to get married with a man you didn’t love, and you claimed that you had another man in your heart. No matter how many difficulties Jenkins Group had to go through, I didn’t force you to get married as I wanted you to be with someone who can really make you happy. However, until now, I don’t see that you’re planning to get married.” He spoke in a bitter manner, as if he recalled all the challenges he had to go through to build up the successful company.

However, he never forced her to get married.

Missha understood the meaning behind his words; he didn’t want her to talk about Alexander’s personal life and marriage.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Was he afraid she would force Alexander to marry Annie?

“Saniogo, I understand what you’re trying to say. Rest assured, I won’t interfere in the children’s marriages. Don’t worry.” She then went straight back to her bedroom after saying that.

However, she didn’t understand the true meaning behind Saniogo’s words. He always knew that there was a person in her heart.

He knew who that person was as well.

He never talked about it as he felt there was no need to do so.

The next day, the first thing that Everleigh did after waking up was to take Abraham to the hospital for a check-up.

“Why are we going to the hospital for an examination?”

“You’re not feeling well, so we should do a check-up. Besides, it’s about time you do a full medical examination,” she tried to persuade him.

She was afraid that an accident would happen to him one day.

She didn’t want it to happen so soon.

“Yeah Dad, just listen to Everleigh. We’ll go with you.” Selena heard them when she came down. It just so happened that she didn’t have any film shooting sessions that day, so she could go with him.

“Grandpa, you must listen to Mommy.” Adrienne went forward and held his hand. She had a pitiful look in her eyes.

She felt that he should really go for a check-up if he was sick.

Abraham couldn’t bear to look at her adorable expression. “Okay then. How about we go together?”

“Sure, let’s go,” Everleigh responded with a smile. She enjoyed heartwarming scenes like that.

Then, they all went to the hospital for an examination. After all, Everleigh was a doctor, so she was very familiar with a medical examination’s procedures.

Alastair and Adrienne accompanied Abraham, as if they were afraid that something bad would happen to him.

He found it hilarious. He was just going for a physical examination, not a life-threatening surgery, so they didn’t have to be so nervous.

When Theodore heard about it, he rushed to the hospital, and met the children as well as Abraham who were waiting for the test results.

“Adrienne.”

“Daddy!” When she heard someone calling her name, she turned around and saw Theodore who was standing not far away from them.

Abraham and Alastair looked over as well, and saw him walking over towards them.

“Mr. Trevino,” Theodore greeted respectfully.

Abraham frowned slightly. “Why are you here?”

“I heard that you’re not feeling well, so I came over to see you.”

Abraham sized him up carefully, but he didn’t respond.

Adrienne, on the other hand, spoke with her childlike voice, “Mommy and Aunt Selena went to collect the results, so Alastair and I are waiting for them to come back.”

Theodore nodded. He picked her up and put her on his lap, then waited together with them.

The two adults sat on the bench, but didn’t want to talk to each other.

Abraham didn’t say anything as he felt uneasy.

When Theodore previously proposed to Everleigh, Abraham rejected him. Now that his daughter had gotten together with him, it felt awkward whenever they met.

“Mr. Trevino, I would like to treat you to a meal when you’re free.”

“What for, Mr. Godfrey? Are you trying to have a proper meeting with our family?” Abraham knew his intentions.

Previously, Everleigh had mentioned that she would take him home to meet her family.

However, it couldn’t happen due to her relationship with the Meyer family.

But now…

“Mr. Trevino, I know that Everleigh can’t simply meet anyone, but we can at least sit down for a meal, right?”

Theodore understood Abraham’s concerns, but he didn’t mind it at all. He knew that Everleigh had no choice but to marry Christopher back then due to the difficult situation she was in.

Abraham’s cold eyes flickered. After a long pause, he said, “You can discuss it with Everleigh. We’re fine with it.”

“Okay, I’ll make the arrangements.” Theodore’s lips curled into a faint smile after Abraham agreed to it.

Abraham felt even more uncomfortable when Theodore spoke as if Everleigh would definitely agree to it.

When Everleigh and Selena came back, they were surprised to see Theodore there.

“Why are you here?”

“I’ve come to have a look. How’re the results?” He asked with concern.

Everleigh shrugged. “It’s his heart. We have to observe him for a period of time. If something similar happens again, he has to be admitted to the hospital for a close observation.”

Selena’s brows knitted as she thought about it for a while. “I think he’d better be hospitalized now, the sooner the better.”

When Abraham heard that he had to be admitted to the hospital, he refused instantly. “No way. Let’s just observe my condition for a few more days. I don’t want to stay in the hospital.”

Everleigh was helpless. When did her father start becoming so afraid of being hospitalized? She pondered.

She was just doing it for his own good, otherwise, there was no need for him to be admitted at all.

“Mr. Trevino, I think you’d better stay here for a closer examination. If you’re worried about the company, you can leave it to Alastair,” Theodore suggested.

Upon hearing that, everyone turned to look at him. Alastair glanced at him helplessly. “Since when did you start meddling in other people’s business?”

“Don’t you want to assist your grandfather? Isn’t this what you want? You’ve been learning for so long. Isn’t it time for some hands-on experience?” Theodore saw through Alastair’s thoughts. When he was talking about it a moment ago, he noticed Alastair’s expression.

Hearing his words, Alastair’s cheeks flushed slightly, but he was feeling even more uncomfortable.

Despite this, Abraham was relieved to hear it. “If that’s the case, I can think about it. There are a lot of things going on at the company, so I can’t afford to rest for too long. Alas… Selena isn’t really talented in doing business, so it’s hard for her to manage the company.”

“Got it, Grandpa. Just rest well in the hospital. I’ll ask you if there’s anything I don’t understand,” Alastair responded considerately.

Abraham’s loving smile appeared gradually. He would be glad if Alastair could really take over the company.

When they left the hospital, it was already noon. Theodore thought about it, and decided to treat them to lunch right away.

They then chose a restaurant after discussing it.

When they arrived at a nearby restaurant, Theodore asked Everleigh to order her favorite dishes.

However, she accidentally ordered too much food.

“Wow, this is a lot of food! Can we even finish it?” Selena looked at the food on the table, and felt a little stressed.

She was an artist, so she had to take care of her body and weight. She was on a diet, and there was no way she could finish all the food.

“We can pack the leftovers and bring them home if we can’t finish it.” Theodore knew that Everleigh didn’t like to waste food.
