Chapter 469 The Meyer Family He passed the salad to Everleigh, and she started eating her food in large 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 accept 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 play along with me?" "Why should I play 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. "Sendto 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 or later, so he might as well do it now.
The two of them arrived at the manor. Saniogo had returned hearly that day. When he saw the two of them walking in, he was stunned.
"Why did the both of you come?" "It's been a long tsince I last visited you, so I cby 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. Cand have a seat." He put down the phone in his hand and ordered the servants to serve scoffee and tea.

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 cto look fornot 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't cback 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 your company 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 we last met at the banquet." Everleigh glanced 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 attackover 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 unsuccessful 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 forin 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 ben mad at him, and it might even ruin the relationship 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 twould tell. Theodore's eyes flashed, 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 but laugh 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 invitedto have dinner with him on a Sunday? I En wonder when it will finally happen." Theodore couldn't wait any longer. He didn't want to continue hiding his relationship 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 uncomfortable when she heard his question. It wasn't that she hadn't talked to her father about adn't talked it it was just that her father reminded itFit her about something, and that was the Meyer family. They had already considered Everleigh their daughter-in-law. If she wanted to be with Theodore officially, she would have to make everything clear with them.
Although there was no relationship 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 hto 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.
