Everleigh saw him looking a little angry but she felt warm in her heart.
She knew that he was concerned about her.
On the other hand, she believed that Theodore would be happy as well after hearing the news.
At least everyone finally accepted him.
The night passed quickly and the sun gradually rose and shone on the earth. Everleigh sat on the bed and stretched. It was a brand new day. It also reminded her that it was time for work.
In the living room, Alastair and Adrienne had gotten up early. Saniogo and Alexander kept placing food on their plates, as if they were afraid that the kids would get too hungry.
"Adrienne, you can always call me to tell me what you like to eat, okay?"
"Okay," she replied with her mouth full.
Her big eyes looked clever, which made people adore her very much.
When Saniogo saw that, he was reluctant to part with them.
He gave an upset sigh. "If only you could stay a few more days," he said sadly. Everything about the manor was good, but it was nothing more than an empty space.
Back in those days, the four brothers would fill the house with their laughter everywhere.
As they grew older, their thinking changed a lot. They were brothers, but they had to fight against each other for money.
The past could only be remembered as a memory.
After all, his child had grown up. He wanted to have a grandson, but the brat refused to get married.
He had argued with him several times over this matter.
It was just a waste of his time. As his son got older, he could no longer interfere in his personal life.
"Uncle, if you miss the kids, just call me and I'll have them stay here with you," Everleigh told him when she saw Saniogo's love for her children.
The manor had been vacant for too long.
At least the children knew how to liven up the atmosphere.
"Alright, alright. It's good as long as you agree," Saniogo repeated.
Speaking of this, he turned towards Alexander, who was standing next to him. "Look at you. Your cousin already has two children, but you don't even have a girlfriend. When can I have a grandson?"
Alexander didn't know what to say about this sudden change of attitude.
It wasn't entirely his fault.
Everleigh's situation was different from his.
"Dad, don't count me in when you're talking about them."
"I feel anxious for you. Look at Linggon, he already has a girlfriend. What about you? You're just a bachelor, nothing more," Saniogo said, looking slightly annoyed.
Everleigh, Adrienne, and Alastair burst out laughing.
They laughed because of the quarrel between the father and son which made them look like they had a loving relationship.
"Grand-Uncle, Uncle Alexander's lover may arrive late, but she won't be absent," Adrienne said with a smile.
When Saniogo heard her calling him with her soft and lovely voice, he smiled. She was really adorable.
"I believe your words."
Alexander didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
The words he said were nothing compared to what this child had said.
Everleigh took them to school after breakfast. Saniogo deliberately packed all the food for them, afraid that the two children would not take them with them.
Adrienne and Alastair stuck their heads out and said to him, "Grand-Uncle, we will come to see you on the weekend."
"Alright, I will prepare delicious food for you." He was filled with anticipation when he heard that.
He wanted the weekend to arrive as soon as possible.
