Chapter 514
Everleigh shook her head. Forget about it; the Jenkins family wasn't suitable for them. It was better for her to raise them herself.
At the Jenkins family's home, Saniogo and Missha were looking at the front door anxiously until they heard voices outside.
"They're here! They're here!" Saniogo exclaimed happily as he rushed out to welcome them.
Everleigh had been used to that kind of situation. There was no need for them to be so overjoyed whenever they visited.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Alexander was speechless. It wasn't the first time they visited, so his reaction was a little too over the top.
"I want to see the children. It's been a long time since I last saw them," Saniogo replied as he turned his head to look at Alastair and Adrienne.
Alastair was cold as usual, but Adrienne greeted with a smile, "Grand-Uncle!"
"My little darling, you're finally here. Hurry up and come inside. I've prepared a lot of good things for you."
As soon as they walked in, Alastair saw Missha immediately. He had investigated her background in private.
However, he didn't like her from the bottom of his heart.
"Aunt Missha," Everleigh called.
Missha grinned as she glanced at Alastair and Adrienne.
"My little darlings, come here. I've bought you some gifts."
Everleigh lowered her head and said to the children, "This is your grand-aunt."
"Hello, Grand- Aunt!" Adrienne greeted in her childish tone.
"What a sweet girl."
"Nice to meet you, Grand-Aunt." Alastair behaved like a young adult.
Missha caressed his cheeks. "This boy looks like a young adult. Interesting."
"Aunt Missha, he's always been like this." Everleigh knew Alastair's attitude whenever he met someone new, but there was nothing she could do about it. That was just his personality.
Missha shook her head. "It's okay. As long as the child has a good personality, that's all that matters."
She could tell what a child's nature was at first glance.
The two children were obviously well brought up.
She bought them some gifts that they liked. They weren't expensive, but were rather useful.
"Thank you, Grand-Aunt."
"I hope you'll like it."
Adrienne was a lively child, and her sweet words made everyone in the room burst into laughter.
The atmosphere was incredibly harmonious, and Missha liked the two kids very much.
At that moment, Annie came back.
"Annie, you're back, come and have a seat." Missha patted the seat beside her.
Annie smiled faintly and went to sit next to her. She was surprised to see the two kids. "They are..."
"They're mine," Everleigh answered in a deep voice, and no emotion could be detected from her tone.
Annie became even more shocked. "I thought you're still unmarried. I can't believe that your children are already so big now."
Everleigh squeezed out a smile and didn't speak.
She wasn't a fool. She could tell that Annie didn't like her. Although she acted polite, it was clear that she was unhappy with her.
How would she possibly like her children?
Adrienne raised her head and pouted at Annie. "Auntie, aren't you married?"
"Nope, I'm still single," Annie replied with a smile.
"Auntie, you must get married soon, otherwise you won't be able to give birth to babies. Just take our teacher, for example. She can't have babies now even though she wants one." Adrienne was speaking childishly, and her innocent words didn't have any hidden meanings.
However, Annie thought otherwise. From her perspective, she felt that Adrienne was trying to say that she couldn't conceive.
Her expression changed in an instant.
Missha knew Adrienne didn't mean anything bad, so she smiled and said, "She's just a child, she doesn't know how to lie. She says anything that is on her mind."
"Yeah, Adrienne always likes to talk about her school life. It's rare for children to have this kind of thinking, so just take it with a pinch of salt. After all, we can't be too harsh on innocent children, can we?" Everleigh continued after Missha.
She also sensed that Annie was angry.
Adrienne's words did sound like they were directed at her.
Annie smiled, but a hint of anger still flashed across her eyes.
Alastair noticed her gaze and let out a sneer in his heart. He turned to look at Saniogo and asked, "Grand-Uncle, when can we eat? I'm starving."
"Right away. Our two little darlings are hungry." When Saniogo heard that he was hungry, he ordered the butler to serve the dishes quickly.
Annie couldn't describe her astonishment as she saw the scene. It was the first time in so many years that she had seen Saniogo care so much for a child.
Everleigh noticed her expression. She got up and sat at the dining table.
At the dining table, Adrienne was still talking nonstop, which made everyone laugh happily.
Annie, on the other hand, felt quite irritated.
She rolled her eyes then asked, "Miss Trevino, where's the children's father?"
As soon as she asked the question, the smile on everyone's face faded away gradually. Everleigh pursed her lips and kept silent.
Seeing that, Annie pretended to feel bad. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it."
"It's okay, their father is quite busy, so he can't come over."
Missha turned her head and looked at Annie, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes. She had learned about Everleigh's story from Alexander, and knew that she had gone through a lot of difficulties over the years.
"Well, I'd really like to meet the person who gave birth to these two children."
"Auntie, it was Mommy who gave birth to us, not Daddy," Adrienne explained.
She was rather confused. They were born from their mother's belly, so she didn't know what it had to do with their father.
No one knew how to explain it to her.
Annie felt awkward as well. "You'll know about this when you grow up."
"No, our teacher taught us to be inquisitive." Adrienne gave her a serious look.
It seemed that she wouldn't give up until she got an answer.
Alexander took a deep breath and explained, "Your mommy gave birth to you because of your daddy's love, so your daddy played an important role too."
"Oh, so that means that Daddy loves Mommy very much, right?" Adrienne was still a little unsure.
Everleigh nodded. "Yeah, Daddy loves me very much. Aren't you happy?"
"Of course I'm happy. So, if I love Daddy very much, will I have a baby too?" Adrienne turned to look at Everleigh, and her question left everyone speechless.
Alastair was even more embarrassed. Why couldn't she talk about something else? He thought to himself.
Suddenly, Saniogo laughed out loud. The way an innocent child talked was really adorable.
"Adrienne, you'll understand it when you grow up. Come on, eat your food." Alastair filled her plate with food, trying to distract her. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"Alright." Adrienne pouted, as if she was sad that she couldn't get the answer.
Everleigh figured out that her son was the only person who could manage his sister.
"Let's eat. It's all your favorite food." Alexander placed some food on Adrienne's plate to cheer her up.
Annie was exhilarated when she saw that. She believed that he would be a good father.
After the meal, Annie received a phone call from Cynthia, wanting to catch up with her.
"I'm at the Jenkins family's home right now. Miss Trevino's two children are just too cute," Annie said as she sat on the sofa, and her eyes were filled with envy.
Everyone in the living room overheard their conversation, and looked at Alastair and Adrienne. They were really cute indeed.
