Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 686 Merry Christmas Saniogo smiled and said, "It's Christmas, so there's no need to be so formal. We're a family and there aren't any outsiders." Theodore walked to Everleigh's side and held her hand as they sat on the sofa.

Alastair and Adrienne sat next to Saniogo. Adrienne grabbed a candy and gave it to him. She said, "Grand-Uncle, this is for you. It's Christmas today, so please don't get mad, okay?" She still remembered how he looked when he was furious the last time. In her heart, her grand-uncle was a kind and amiable person who would not fly into rage.

He knew that the incident from last thad affected her. He felt a little guilty and said, “"Alright. I won't get angry." "Grand-Uncle, you're the best," Adrienne said sweetly in his arms.

As for Alastair, he merely looked at Saniogo like how he used to. In fact, he did not think that there was any problem with how his grand-uncle acted the last time.

"Have sfruits first. The food will be ready in a while." Selena brought the fruits out from the kitchen. Hilda could not help sighing when she saw this scene. "Now, I am redundant. You're taking away my job." Everleigh laughed and said, “Isn't it good for you to have a good rest on Christmas? Besides, Leon is addicted to cooking now. If he doesn't cook something, it will be a waste of the money he spent on learning how to cook." Hilda smiled gently. It was only a casual rant, and she did not harbor any ill will. Her main responsibility was to manage the household, which included cooking. Now that she had one less thing to do, it was actually much easier on her.

The group of people in the living room continued chatting on the sofa. However, Everleigh would go to the kitchen to have a look from tto time. When she saw the couple in the kitchen, she could not help but smile and said, "Hurry up and cook. We are all starving while the two of you are fooling around." Leon's words were unforgiving. "From what I see, you're hoping that Theodore would act like this with you, but his mouth is probably shut tight. He will not serenade you with sweet words. Everleigh, are you jealous?" "Leon, have you forgotten your identity? I'm your wife's sister. Shouldn't you be more polite to me?" Everleigh raised her eyebrows. Leon married into the family, so why was he acting high and mighty? He snorted. "Well, I'm happy to have her as my wife. Everleigh, you don't have to remindof my identity. Humph..." She burst out laughing. She had never seen him showing such an expression before.

He was a generous man, so he did not mind his identity at all. He was fine with people joking about it once in a while.

Selena, on the other hand, was not happy. "Go do what you have to do. You can't help out here anyway." "Are you saying that I'm getting in the way? Fine, I'll be leaving then," Everleigh said as she returned to the living room. Just as she turned around, she saw Theodore walking over.

"What are you talking about? You look happy." "Nothing, it's just a casual talk. We'll eat in a while," she responded with a smile.

All of them gathered at the dining table and enjoyed the meal together. Everleigh even posted a picture of everyone smiling happily on her social media.

After lunch, everyone sent blessings to their colleagues and friends.

Cecil called Everleigh and said, "You're having a good time." "It's not too bad. Aren't you the same?" "Yes, but compared with you, it's not as interesting," Cecil said enviously.

Everleigh laughed loudly and said, "You don't have to be sad. It won't be long before you get married. Then, you can cover." “That's for sure. By the way, why didn't you invite Xavier?" "I did, but he said he'd clater." As soon as she said this, she saw Xavier's car entering the property. She chuckled and said nothing. "Speaking of the devil," she thought to herself.

"There's no one left in the Godfrey family now. Xavier is on his own." Cecil was worried that Everleigh would forget about him.

"I know what to do. By the way, is Felicia with you?" That year, Lenold was hto celebrate the holidays, which had not happened in years. It was likely that he was here because of Felicia.

"No, she'll cby another day. It's best to spend twith your own family." "That's true. Even you know that you should be at hfor the holidays, not to mention her." Everleigh was hinting at her to get married soon.

Unfortunately, neither of them had the intention to do so.

She was the only one who was worried about this.

After a short chat, they ended the call. Then, Everleigh went downstairs to see Xavier.

He also prepared gifts for the children.

"Uncle Xavier, you're the best." Adrienne kissed him on the cheek as she spoke.

He laughed and said, "Thank you, Adrienne." "You're welcome." She waved her small hand exaggeratedly.

Abraham and Saniogo, who were sitting in the living room, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"It's so boring. Let's play poker.” Leon had just done cleaning up the kitchen, so he took off his apron.

It was rare for them to gather together, so they naturally wanted to play a few rounds.

"Okay, con, let's start now." Everleigh agreed quickly. She hadn't played this in many years, so she couldn't miss this opportunity.

In the end, Missha, Leon, Everleigh, and Selena began playing poker.

Theodore sat down next to Everleigh and would say a few words from tto time.

Alastair and Adrienne played with Xavier while Abraham, and Saniogo talked about work. It was quite a harmonious scene.

It was a peaceful Christmas Day. The day passed by quickly.

In the evening, all of them gathered around to watch TV while Leon prepared dinner.

"Happy times really are short. A day Hike that, m is going to be over just like Missha said with a sigh. She was almost another year older. "Aunt Missha, are you being sentimental?" "Of course. In a few days, we're all going to be another year older," Missha said as she touched her face.

In fact, Everleigh felt that her aunt's appearance had not changed atral.

dochanged Among the rich people that she knew, Missha looked the youngest. "However, the gap between us will not change," Everleigh said with a smile.

After all, she had children. Naturally, she hoped that the children could grow up well.

That was her only wish as a mother.

Missha smiled without saying anything.

At night, the people in the neighborhood played with fireworks. Leon bought sand took Alastair and Adrienne out to play.

"Let's go and have a look too. It's been many years since we've played with fireworks." "Alright." Saniogo had not played with them for a very long teither.

In the yard, Leon bought ssparklers for the children to play with. He lit them up and passed them to the children.

Everleigh and Selena both grabbed a sparkler and began to dance.

In the light of the fireworks, both of their faces were full of happiness. It was as if theyhad returned to their childhood.
