Chapter 469


    He passed the sd to Everleigh, and she started eating her food inrge bites.


    She was really enjoying it.


    Theodore looked at her silently. After a long while, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Actually,


    you don''t have to pretend to be fine. I''ll ept you no matter how you''re feeling and what


    expression you''re showing."


    Her hands, which were holding her cutlery, paused for a moment. Then, she looked up and said,


    "Since you know it, why don''t you just y along with me?"


    "Why should I y along with you? I''ll like you no matter what." His words were natural and truthful.


    He didn''t feel awkward at all.


    Her lips curled into a smile as she said, "Wow, your sweet words now are much better than before."

    "Really?"


    "Yeah, people change, including us," she said meaningfully.


    They were the best example.


    Back then, they were in a great amount of distrust.


    Now, everything had changed.


    Theodore didn''t deny it. He cherished Everleigh even more because she was his most beloved


    woman.


    After the meal, he offered to send her back, but she shook her head. "Send me to the Jenkins family


    home."


    "Are you looking for Saniogo?"


    "Yes, I want to talk to him."


    "Alright, let''s go together." He wanted to meet him too. Plus, Saniogo had already known that he


    was involved in the matter as well.


    Everleigh nodded in agreement. He would have to meet the Jenkins family sooner orter, so he


    might as well do it now.


    The two of them arrived at the manor. Saniogo had returned home early that day. When he saw the


    two of them walking in, he was stunned.


    "Why did the both of youe?"


    "It''s been a long time since Ist visited you, so I came by to meet you." She had turned the


    previous dinner into an unhappy ending, so she felt rather guilty.


    Theodore stood next to her and said in a graceful manner, "Hello, Mr. Jenkins." "Hello, Mr. Godfrey.


    Come and have a seat." He put down the phone in his hand and ordered the servants to serve


    some coffee and tea.


    "Uncle, regarding Uncle Yeezoo''s problem, what are you nning to do next?" She couldn''t help but


    ask.


    If Saniogo decided to make a move, everything would definitely be fine.


    "Are you here to spy on me?" He raised an eyebrow and asked with a grin.


    "Mr. Jenkins, actually, the whole incident wasn''t a really big deal. Cynthia just went overboard. I


    believe that you have found out that I was involved in it as well after carrying out an investigation. I


    can''t let Everleigh be hurt," Theodore said in a deep voice. His words showed that he cared for her.


    When Saniogo heard it, he didn''t say much. He sighed lightly, "Melissa came to look for me not long


    ago. I didn''t agree to help her, and I let them do whatever they wanted."


    Everleigh was quite surprised. She had always thought that Saniogo treasured his family members


    more than anything, but why...


    "Everleigh, you''re right. Someone who has done something wrong must be punished. Yeezoo and


    the others dug their own graves. They asked for it." Saniogo sighed deeply.


    He had indulged them too much in the past.


    Her thin lips were tightly pursed. She was more or less a little guilty.


    Theodore''s deep gaze fell on her face. He knew immediately what she was thinking about.


    He reached his hands out to hold her hands.


    Everleigh turned her head over and gave him a light smile, indicating that she was fine.


    "Since you''re both here, why don''t you stay for dinner? It just so happens that Alexander can''te


    back for dinner as he has to sign a contract."


    "Okay." She agreed quickly.


    Although she agreed, she was really full.


    Saniogo then instructed the cooks to prepare dishes that she loved, but she just couldn''t eat much.


    "Mr. Godfrey, how''s yourpany doing?"


    "Everything is fine," Theodore replied respectfully.


    Saniogo nodded. Then, his eyes sparkled as he said, "What about your father? How has he been


    doing recently? I haven''t seen him ever since west met at the banquet."


    Everleigh nced at Theodore. She knew that Saniogo was bringing it up on purpose.


    He should''ve already known that he and Wilson weren''t on good terms.


    However, Theodore didn''t feel awkward at all. He responded with a smile, "He''s always been in


    good health. If not, how is he able to attack me over and over again? Mr. Jenkins, is there anything


    else you would like to ask?"


    "I just want to know, what can Everleigh get from being together with an unsessful person like


    you? What can you give her?" Saniogo cared a lot about this; a daughter of the Jenkins family


    couldn''t simply be paired with a man with no status or achievements.


    "If Everleigh agrees, I can give her a perfect wedding any time, but she has a lot of things to deal


    with right now, so I suppose that it is still too early to talk about marriage. I will respect her opinion."


    Theodore spoke from his heart.


    He was willing to wait for her, until she was finally ready to marry him.


    Everleigh was slightly startled. She never knew what was in his mind.


    She had been hiding a lot of things from him.


    However, he was very understanding, and thought that she could do whatever she wanted to.


    Thinking about it, she suddenly realized that she was rather selfish. She had never told Theodore


    anything before.


    Saniogo was old and experienced, and he had met all kinds of people from different backgrounds.


    He could tell whether a person was lying or not.


    "That''s actually really thoughtful of you," he praised him.


    "Everleigh has suffered a lot for me in the past, but I hated her for seven years. Now that she''s


    willing to forgive me, I''m really grateful for her." Theodore spoke in a deep voice, but his tone was


    filled with gratitude.


    He was grateful that she was willing to give him a second chance.


    He would never let go of the opportunity.


    "Well, we don''t know if you''re able to fulfill your promises or not. Since Everleigh is willing to give


    you a chance, I''ll just wait and see what happens in the future." Then, he said nothing more about it.


    Everleigh was deeply in love with Theodore. If Saniogo forced them to break up, she would


    definitely be mad at him, and it might even ruin the rtionship between her and him. Hence, it was


    better for him to just wait and see.


    He couldn''t be sure that nothing would happen between them, but he knew that time would tell.


    Theodore''s eyes shed, and he understood what Saniogo meant.


    "I will not let Everleigh down."


    "It''s not up to you, isn''t it?" Saniogo snorted coldly. If that brat had the guts to make ambitious


    promises, why didn''t he bring up anything about the past? He couldn''t stand him.


    Everleigh couldn''t help butugh when she saw the two of them bickering over her.


    She knew that Saniogo was doing it for her own good.


    As for Theodore, she also knew that he was just trying to give her the best he could.


    She believed that no matter how difficult life would be in the future, their feelings for each other


    would never change.


    When the two of them left, Theodore was in a good mood. He was happy that he had finally settled


    one of the people standing between Everleigh and him.


    "Are you feeling happy?"


    "That''s right."


    Everleigh chuckled, "Are you happy because Uncle Saniogo is finally willing to talk to you?"


    "Correct. Now, the only person left is your father. Speaking of him, do you still remember that you


    invited me to have dinner with him on a Sunday? I wonder when it will finally happen." Theodore


    couldn''t wait any longer. He didn''t want to continue hiding his rtionship with her.


    They didn''t have a choice in the past. However, now that the truth had been revealed, there was


    nothing else to be afraid of.


    She felt a little ufortable when she heard his question. It wasn''t that she hadn''t talked to her


    father about it, it was just that her father reminded her about something, and that was the Meyer


    family.


    They had already considered Everleigh their daughter- in-w. If she wanted to be with Theodore


    officially, she would have to make everything clear with them.


    Although there was no rtionship between her and Christopher, she couldn''t be involved with two


    men.


    After all, it wouldn''t be good for anyone if word got out.


    Hence, she dismissed the idea of bringing him back home to meet her father.


    "Why aren''t you saying anything?" Theodore noticed that she had been silent for a long time. She


    seemed to be very troubled.
