Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Abraham looked at her face that hadn’t changed. The bitterness spread from the corner of his mouth to his heart. If Lilian was still alive, would things be different?

Looking at Abraham, Saniogo seemed to realize something. He remembered Welment once said that Lillian had an admirer, who seemed to be a member of the Trevino family. At that time, he didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, Lillian and Welment were already engaged, and the Jenkins family was quite powerful. No one dared to cross them.

It was also because of this that he didn’t take it to heart. However, Missha’s words that day reminded him that it was not easy for Abraham to adopt Everleigh.

Perhaps he already knew about Lilian.

“I didn’t expect you to have such a past, Uncle Abraham,” Alexander said in surprise. If his aunt hadn’t mentioned it, he still wouldn’t know what was going on.

Abraham waved and said, “It’s all in the past. We’re already so old, so feelings don’t matter anymore.”

Missha examined his face; he did have a lot more wrinkles on his face, and the hair at his temples had turned white.

Time and tide waits for no man.

“Dad, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you tell me?” Everleigh said and interrupted their conversation.

Everyone saw her and acted tacitly. Nobody mentioned what they were talking about just now.

“What should I tell you about? I’m here to see your uncle. Besides, didn’t you say you were very busy today?”

“Yes, I was a little busy. I just got some free time so I came over to take a look,” she said as she picked up the stethoscope and went over to the bed and listened to Saniogo’s chest. After making sure that there was nothing serious, she stopped.

“Uncle, there will be nurses bringing you a machine later. We will run some tests on you for a night. I want to get a valid diagnosis,” she explained.

Saniogo’s eyes were full of smiles. “Okay, I trust your medical skills.”

She smiled but didn’t speak.

Suddenly, Missha’s phone rang. She looked at the caller ID, and her expression turned cold. Then, she raised her head and the coldness on her was covered up instantly. “Saniogo, Everleigh, I need to take this call.”

“Alright,” he said and nodded. He turned to look at Abraham as he spoke a few words to him.

Missha went outside to answer the call. The person on the phone was none other than Yeezoo. She was filled with anger. This phone call was right on time; it was exactly what she wanted.

“Hello.”

“Missha, how’s Saniogo’s condition?” Yeezoo’s voice came from the phone. There was a hint of concern in his tone.

She sneered, “How surprising you even bothered to call. It’s been so long. Why didn’t you call earlier? Did Cynthia get too afraid and had to tell you about it?”

He felt uncomfortable due to her accusation. “Cynthia didn’t do anything wrong. There’s no need for you to be this angry.”

“Angry? Yeezoo, I was there. I heard with my very own ears how Cynthia used those nasty words to provoke Saniogo to the point that he was sent to the hospital. Everyone was so used to pampering her because she’s a girl and kept tolerating her attitude. Not to mention that she was targeting Everleigh on purpose, but now, she even dared to bicker with Saniogo. What a great daughter you raised,” Missha said exasperatedly. If she could, she would really beat Cynthia up. That girl was simply lawless.

Yeezoo couldn’t say a word after being rebuked by her. He didn’t know the truth either; he only heard it from Cynthia’s perspective.

“Missha, don’t be mad. I’ll teach Cynthia a lesson about this matter. How’s Saniogo’s situation now?”

“If you really want to see him, come back and see for yourself. Don’t ask me about it,” she shouted angrily and hung up the phone right away.

When she turned around, she saw many nurses staring at her but she didn’t care. Words had been said; others’ opinions didn’t matter anymore.

When Missha was ready to go back in, she saw Everleigh coming out and their eyes met. Everleigh said, “Aunt Missha, can you accompany me to buy some tea? They can have a drink too.”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Missha took a look inside, nodded, and followed her out. The two came to a cafe near the entrance of the hospital and ordered a few cups of coffee and tea.

They sat inside and waited.

“Aunt Missha, did Uncle Yeezoo call?”

“Yes, Cynthia must have been terrified. She worried that I would call him, so she quickly told her father first. I swear if something really happened to your uncle, I would skin her alive,” she answered fiercely. When she thought about the scene, she felt regret that she did not teach Cynthia a lesson.

When Everleigh looked into Missha’s furious eyes, she laughed instantly and said, “Aunt Missha, you like Uncle Saniogo very much, don’t you?”

When Missha heard those words, her expression froze, and the fierce emotions on her face disappeared. Instead, there was a look of admiration of a little sister towards her older brother. “Yes, I like Saniogo very much. In the Jenkins family, he treats us equally. He loves his siblings very much. When we were young, if we did something wrong, he would be the first to stand up and help us. I still remember that Yeezoo once stole money to buy things he liked at that time. When my father found out about it, he wanted to give him a good beating. However, Saniogo stood up and said that he was the one who asked Yeezoo to do it. As a result, he got beaten a few times. After the incident, Saniogo beat Yeezoo up, but compared to himself, Yeezoo only got hurt slightly.”

Missha spoke as she recalled her memories. Although there were always arguments at that time, they loved each other.

However, ever since they grew up, their selfishness magnified gradually. They were no longer innocent children.

Listening to her words, Everleigh felt that Saniogo really loved them, but no matter how beautiful their childhood was, it would still change because of time.

Just like that day’s situation.

“Everleigh, your eldest uncle had been planning everything out for his siblings all his life and doesn’t care much about himself. I can abandon your other uncles, but I will never abandon your eldest uncle, because he is my best brother. Do you understand?” Missha said seriously.

It made Everleigh feel that her aunt only cared about her eldest uncle as if her other brothers didn’t ever exist. However, it was normal for Aunt Missha to have such thoughts. At least Saniogo was not as greedy and ambitious as the others.

They went back with drinks in their hands. When Missha passed by a bakery, she went in and bought some desserts. She smiled and said, “Your uncle likes sweet treats very much. He’s just too embarrassed to say it out loud.”

Everleigh was surprised. She really didn’t know that a person like her uncle would have a sweet tooth.

“Let’s go.”

“Aunt Missha, if Uncle Yeezoo came to look for Uncle Saniogo because of Cynthia, what would you do?” Everleigh believed that he would actually do such a thing.

Missha chuckled. “Have you forgotten? What did I tell you before? I will always choose your eldest uncle but never your other uncles.”

Everleigh understood what she meant. No matter what Yezoo said, she wouldn’t hold back.
