Upon seeing Cynthia's reaction, Everleigh's eyes sparkled. She picked up her fork, took up a piece of liver, and put it straight into her mouth. Then, she savored it carefully as if nothing had happened.
It seemed as if she was tasting a world renowned delicacy.
Cynthia's eyes widened in disbelief, and she looked at Everleigh as if she was looking at a monster.
Seeing that, Linggon also picked up a piece of liver and put it into his mouth. "The food here still tastes the best. This liver may look ordinary, but it tastes really good."
Cynthia turned her head to look at him, her expression getting more upset.
"I know that Everleigh likes it, so I had it made specially for her. If you don't want to eat it, you can put down your cutlery." Saniogo's first sentence was full of affection, but the second one was rather stony.
He was obviously talking to Cynthia.
She knew that it was aimed at her, and her face flushed with embarrassment. However, her eyes clearly showed her dissatisfaction towards Everleigh.
"Saniogo, Cynthia has just been spoiled by me. Don't you love her the most? Let's not make a fuss about it..."
"Fenna, my love for her doesn't mean that she can be arrogant. Today is the day of Everleigh's return. If anyone dares to find fault with Everleigh, don't blame me for not going easy on you." Of course Saniogo knew what she was implying.
They felt that he did not care about Cynthia now that Everleigh was back.
They were both his nieces; how could he not dote on them?
But... If anyone dared to cause trouble, they could not blame him for being blunt with them.
When Saniogo said that, Fenna instantly fell silent. Luqman then scolded, "Why are you so meddlesome? Don't you know his character? When have you known him to be biased?"
Everleigh and Alexander exchanged helpless looks. The whole family were really drama queens; they could not even stop to have a proper meal.
It seemed that it was better to go to the Jenkins Manor less often.
Cynthia did not eat much, mainly because she did not like the food. Everleigh had eaten a lot, and she had to admit that the chef's cooking was delicious.
After the meal, she received a phone call from Adrienne, who happily told her that she had caught a huge fish and wanted to eat it with her.
Hearing her voice, Everleigh knew that they had had a good time fishing. "Okay, I'll go back now. Wait for me."
"Okay, Mommy."
Everleigh's smile did not falter. When she hung up the phone, she happened to meet Cynthia's eyes, which were bearing down on her with disdain.
"Yasmine, it seems like you have other plans."
"And is that weird?" Everleigh asked in response. Everyone had their own family and friends.
Cynthia rolled her eyes sarcastically.
Everleigh did not bother arguing with her. She turned to look at Saniogo and said, "Uncle, I need to leave first as there's something I need to do. I'll come and see you when I have time."
"Okay, go back earlier. Alexander will send you back. I'll visit your father personally in a few days." Saniogo heard the voice coming from the other side of the phone. Although it was very soft, he could still hear the child's voice.
He was very grateful to the Trevino family. If it was not for Abraham, Everleigh would not be so well-educated, so it was only right that he paid him a visit.
"Okay." Everleigh did not stay any longer and followed Alexander out.
After they left, Yeezoo could not help but ask, "Saniogo, are you sure that she's Welment's daughter?"
"Yeezoo, are you doubting me?" Saniogo's voice was filled with displeasure.
Yeezoo sighed softly, "Saniogo, that's not what I meant. The Jenkins family has so many businesses, and a lot of people are out to get us. We have to be on guard."
