    Chapter 868


    “Mr. Jenkins, you''re so cold. Word has it that ever since you became a dad, you''ve devoted yourself entirely to your family. Now,


    seeing you, it seems like all your tenderness is reserved for wife


    your


    and babies,” Reba remarked.


    Elliot frowned slightly, about to correct her words, when he caught sight of Sheena’s familiar figure approaching.


    Sheena exuded a strong aura, seemingly emanating an invisible force of intimidation.


    Reba found it hard to ignore Sheena’s presence and greeted, “Ms. Lawson, you''re looking even.


    more beautiful than before. | heard that women after childbirth often face issues like sagging belly, stretch marks, and loose skin,


    but it seems these problems haven''t bothered you.”


    Sheena smiled gracefully, replying, “Of course. I’m not troubled by those concerns. After all, | had Elliot’s tender care, so | hada


    good postpartum recovery.”


    Stepping forward, Sheena took a closer look at Reba before continuing, “Ms. Lambert, you’re young and good-looking, but


    why do youck manners? Do you not understand the norms of the business world?”


    Reba was taken aback, asking in confusion, “Ms. Lawson, what do you mean?”


    Sheena linked her arm with Elliot''s, speaking coldly, “He’s a married man. Ms. Lambert, you aren''t in a rtionship yet, right?


    You should go chat up those young eligible bachelors.


    “Also, ‘Ms. Lawson‘ is how business associates or my subordinates address me. As you''re attending this event as a female


    companion, you should not use that term to address me. You should call me Mrs. Jenkins.”

    She emphasized each syble with thest few words, boldly asserting her dominance.


    She extended her neck arrogantly, her posture exuding elegance and aloofness.


    Her gaze seemed to silentlybel Elliot as her exclusive possession.


    Elliot felt a sense of satisfaction, quietly listening as Sheena countered the young woman across from


    them.


    Reba, slightly stunned and embarrassed, changed her address, “I’m sorry for my ignorance. | shall address you as Mrs.


    Jenkins from now on. There have been rumors that Mr. Jenkins ispletely under Mrs. Jenkins’s control, which seems to be


    true. But why view me as an enemy? Keeping a man on too tight a leash isn’t good.”


    If Albert were still alive and if they had not registered their marriage yet, Elliot would surely correct Reba!


    He would defend his position, insisting that Sheena was a submissive wife!


    Nheless, Elliot had no worries whatsoever and could confidently admit, “Ms. Lambert, you


    misspoke earlier. | didn’t devote myself entirely to my family after bing a dad. All my tenderness and indulgence have long


    been given to Nana. Even the babies cannot shake her position.”


    Then, he inteced his fingers with Sheena’s, his gaze softened.


    Reba’s face paled slightly,menting, “Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, it''s truly admirable how affectionate you two are.”


    Elliot did not even spare her a nce, his eyes fixed on Sheena.


    In a low voice, he said, “Honey, I''m tired of socializing. I’d like to request an early departure home.”


    Sheena met his gaze, and for once, she agreed, “Granted.”


    With the confirmation, Elliot felt ted.


    He scooped her up in his arms and stealthily left through the less crowded back exit.


    Sitting in the car, Sheena was not too pleased.


    Elliot keenly sensed her off mood and innocently said, “Honey, tonight’s incident has nothing to do with me. | don’t know that Ms.


    Lambert, so you can’t me me for it.”


    She turned to him, her fair fingers gently pinching his cheek


    “Next time you go out, better wear

    Elliot was at a loss for words.


    Why did he get the feeling that Sheena was subtly mocking him?


    Twenty minutester, the luxury car pulled into the garage of the Jenkins estate.


    Elliot got out first and lifted Sheena out of the car.


    Sheena wrapped her arms around his waist, politely saying, “Maybe | should walk by myself. This evening gown weighs several


    kilograms, and I’m quite heavy to carry, aren’t I?”


    “Perfect opportunity for me to burn some energy. Otherwise, your slender waist might just give up on


    you tonight.


    Upon hearing this, Sheena did notugh. Instead, she looked serious, staring at him intently.


    Elliot immediately sensed that something was wrong based on her serious expression.


    Oh no!


    That seemed like a trick question, and he appeared to have given the wrong answer...
