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?" "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.
