Missha shook her head. "It's okay, you should eat a little more."
Adrienne smiled, showing her little teeth as she continued eating with great satisfaction.
Saniogo looked at them and said, "Let's go, I've bought you gifts. Let's go take a look together."
"Okay, thank you, Grand- Uncle." Adrienne's eyes were shining when she heard about the gifts, but Alastair looked calm. He didn't care much about it.
Everleigh asked nervously, "Uncle, what did you buy?"
"Don't worry, they're just little things. They aren't expensive." He understood what she meant. She was worried that if he bought something too expensive to pamper them, he would spoil the children in the future.
She was slightly relieved when she heard this. It didn't matter if it was just a small gift.
After Saniogo left, there were only Missha and Everleigh left in the living room. "Where's Alexander?" She asked.
"He went to Cecil's house. You know, Alexander
wants to stick with her everyday," Missha answered.
Everleigh chuckled. Since they had been together, the number of calls she received from Cecil had reduced a lot.
"By the way, I heard from your uncle saying that you are investigating the cause of your parents' death. How far have you investigated?" Missha asked curiously.
Everleigh was about to answer her question when she suddenly remembered something. She had heard from Mr. White saying that there was a beautiful woman. She also remembered that Saniogo once said that the women of the Jenkins family went to the scene before.
This made her hesitate a little.
It wasn't because she was being petty; it was just that she couldn't reveal too much information about it, including the information about the women of the Jenkins family.
"There aren't many clues and progress," Everleigh replied faintly.
Seeing this, there was a flicker in Missha's eyes but it soon disappeared. She said with a sigh, "How many clues can we still have after so many years?" "Aunt Missha, I know that there is nearly no hope in this matter, but for me, a glimmer of hope is still important. I don't even remember how my parents cared for me when I was young. All these are the biggest regrets of my life. I must investigate their cause of death," Everleigh said seriously.
Looking at her determined look, Missha felt a little uncomfortable and her eyes were slightly red. "But Everleigh, have you ever thought about it? Perhaps your parents don't want you to hold onto the past like this."
"They may hope that I can live a happy life, but for me, this is my happiness. At least I have a goal to achieve." Everleigh's bitter smile made people feel sad.
As a child, her greatest wish was to be with her parents and take care of them in the future. But now there was nothing left. She had never lacked fatherly love, but she had never experienced maternal love.
Being able to investigate the truth of the matter was also her duty as a child. In this way, she would feel less guilty.
Seeing that she insisted, Missha couldn't help asking, "Do you really want to do that?"
"Yes, I won't give up on this. Aunt Missha, you will support me, right?" Everleigh stared at her quietly with her clear eyes.
Missha felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. There was a moment when she felt that it was Lillian who was looking at her.
Her face turned pale and she nodded. "Of course, I will support you."
"I know that you will support me since you love me so much," Everleigh said with relief.
Missha twitched the corners of her mouth but the look on her face became even worse.
