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 time had 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 some fruits 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 time to 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 remind me of my identity. Humph…”

She burst out laughing. She had never seen him showing such an expression before.
