Cynthia's expression changed. Cecil's words meant that she didn't have anyone to love her, so no one remembered what she liked to eat.
Cecil realized that Cynthia was not observant enough to tell who was in-charge of the party.
Saniogo looked at her and smiled. "That's right. Alexander has never brought a girl home, and you're the first one."
"Will I be the last one?" She asked Alexander with a smile.
He nodded solemnly. "You must be the last one."
She nodded with satisfaction. This awareness was a good thing.
"Mr. Saniogo, Mr. Alexander, Miss Everleigh is back," the butler came in from the door and shouted.
Everleigh and Theodore had arrived. Of course, the gifts would not be missed out.
"You're here. Hurry up and come in." Saniogo knew that she had invited Theodore.
"Mr. Jenkins."
"Mr. Godfrey, your presence is enough. There's no need to bring gifts along," Saniogo said.
Theodore smiled. "I'm here to visit my girlfriend's elders. It would not be reasonable to come empty-handed."
Saniogo just smiled without saying a word.
Everleigh looked at Cecil, who was sitting on the sofa, and looked at her in shock. "Cecil, what's with your expression?"
Cecil didn't know that she would join the gathering. If she had known, she would have waited for her to come.
Everleigh smiled awkwardly. She knew that Cecil would come, otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen that day. The main purpose was that they could have dinner together.
Alexander was surprised as well, but he soon understood Everleigh's intentions. "That's good. The more, the merrier."
"Uncle, when will we start eating?"
"Wait for another minute. Your uncle is coming over as well. Alexander brought his girlfriend to meet the elders. It would be nice to meet with everyone," Saniogo explained.
Although he wanted to have dinner with his family, he knew Luqman's temper. If he refused, it would not be good.
Moreover, everyone would know about the relationship between the two children sooner or later.
When Everleigh heard this, she didn't say anything else. The group of people sat there chatting, except for Cynthia, who was seated on the sofa. She was clearly out of place.
However, she did not intend to be involved in the conversations.
Luqman and Linggon arrived. As for Fenna, she was unwilling to attend such a family feast.
"Saniogo."
"Uncle."
"Yes, We're waiting for you all to have dinner. Let me introduce them to you. This is Cecil from the Hayes family, Alexander's girlfriend," Saniogo introduced.
Linggon and Luqman were shocked. They didn't expect her to be a member of the Hayes family.
"Hello, Mr. Jenkins," Cecil stood up and greeted him.
Theodore glanced at Luqman and Linggon. His impression of them was still quite good.
Luqman seldom showed up, so he didn't have much business with the Godfrey family. As for Linggon, Theodore had seen him several times at various events.
"Nice to meet you."
