Missha shook her head. "It's okay, you should eat a little more."
Adrienne smiled, showing her little teeth as she continued eating with great satisfaction.
Saniogo looked at them and said, "Let's go, I've bought you gifts. Let's go take a look together."
"Okay, thank you, Grand- Uncle." Adrienne's eyes were shining when she heard about the gifts, but Alastair looked calm. He didn't care much about it. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Everleigh asked nervously, "Uncle, what did you buy?"
"Don't worry, they're just little things. They aren't expensive." He understood what she meant. She was worried that if he bought something too expensive to pamper them, he would spoil the children in the future.
She was slightly relieved when she heard this. It didn't matter if it was just a small gift.
After Saniogo left, there were only Missha and Everleigh left in the living room. "Where's Alexander?" She asked.
"He went to Cecil's house. You know, Alexander
wants to stick with her everyday," Missha answered.
Everleigh chuckled. Since they had been together, the number of calls she received from Cecil had reduced a lot.
"By the way, I heard from your uncle saying that you are investigating the cause of your parents' death. How far have you investigated?" Missha asked curiously.
Everleigh was about to answer her question when she suddenly remembered something. She had heard from Mr. White saying that there was a beautiful woman. She also remembered that Saniogo once said that the women of the Jenkins family went to the scene before.
This made her hesitate a little.
It wasn't because she was being petty; it was just that she couldn't reveal too much information about it, including the information about the women of the Jenkins family.
"There aren't many clues and progress," Everleigh replied faintly.
Seeing this, there was a flicker in Missha's eyes but it soon disappeared. She said with a sigh, "How many clues can we still have after so many years?" "Aunt Missha, I know that there is nearly no hope in this matter, but for me, a glimmer of hope is still important. I don't even remember how my parents cared for me when I was young. All these are the biggest regrets of my life. I must investigate their cause of death," Everleigh said seriously.
Looking at her determined look, Missha felt a little uncomfortable and her eyes were slightly red. "But Everleigh, have you ever thought about it? Perhaps your parents don't want you to hold onto the past like this."
"They may hope that I can live a happy life, but for me, this is my happiness. At least I have a goal to achieve." Everleigh's bitter smile made people feel sad.
As a child, her greatest wish was to be with her parents and take care of them in the future. But now there was nothing left. She had never lacked fatherly love, but she had never experienced maternal love.
Being able to investigate the truth of the matter was also her duty as a child. In this way, she would feel less guilty.
Seeing that she insisted, Missha couldn't help asking, "Do you really want to do that?"
"Yes, I won't give up on this. Aunt Missha, you will support me, right?" Everleigh stared at her quietly with her clear eyes.
Missha felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. There was a moment when she felt that it was Lillian who was looking at her.
Her face turned pale and she nodded. "Of course, I will support you."
"I know that you will support me since you love me so much," Everleigh said with relief.
Missha twitched the corners of her mouth but the look on her face became even worse.
During the meal, Missha went back to rest after eating a little. Seeing this, Saniogo asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"Today, Aunt Missha asked me about the cause of my parents' death. She wanted me to give up investigating. Uncle, what did she mean by that?"
Upon hearing her words, Saniogo's eyes darkened. He then said, "Your aunt is just hoping that you can forget the past. Back then when I was investigating it, she also talked me out of it saying that since they've already passed away, it would still be useless even if we manage to find out what's going on."
Everleigh put down her spoon and said in a deep voice, "Then, why did you persist?"
"I wanted to give myself an explanation. I thought that when I see your father after I die, I can make it clear that I, as his big brother, have done my best."
She had never known that her father's death would become such a burden in his heart.
She couldn't imagine how bad she was when she suspected him in the beginning.
It turned out that Welment's death was not only a blow to her, but also a great blow to the Jenkins family.
"Uncle, I'm sorry."
"Why are you sorry?" Saniogo couldn't understand when he heard the sudden apology.
Everleigh smiled wryly and said, "I know I was wrong when I suspected you."
He didn't seem to mind at all. "Everleigh, when I first saw you, I knew that you weren't that kind of person to act impulsively. I even realized that you and your father are really similar. He's also a person who does things meticulously. He can't bear having grit in his eye."
She suddenly wanted to know what kind of person his father was.
"Uncle, you have always said that father and I really are similar to each other. How so?"
Upon hearing this, he became interested. He put down his cutlery and said with a smile in his eyes, "Your father is humorous and a smart person. Otherwise, how could he have won your mother's favor?"
She raised her eyebrows. So there was still such a thing. To be honest, she had never asked about her mother.
"What about my mother?"
"Your mother was from one of the rich and powerful families. She and your father are made for each other."
"Who is my mother?" Everleigh's interest was piqued instantly. Since they were a couple, she believed that her mother must be a good choice of partner for her father.
Saniogo smiled faintly. "Your mother was a lively and cheerful person. She was kind and often helped the poor. That's also how your father met her. At that time, I still remembered that they hid their identities from each other. It wasn't until they met at a banquet later that they knew each other."
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She felt the same way. Their fate was so wonderful.
He shared the story while she listened with great interest. In the end, he couldn't help but say, "What a shame that they only had a short life and can't enjoy the glory and wealth anymore."
Hearing what he said, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
"Forget it, since it's all in the past, it's pointless to say it. At least I know what kind of people my parents are."
He smiled slightly. "It's good for you to think this way. Everleigh, your aunt is also unable to let go of your father's death. She would rather be muddle-headed than to let the scar in her heart open up and suffer the same pain again when she knows the truth."
She nodded. She understood what he meant.
She wanted to see the reunion scene between the siblings even though her father had passed away.
