Chapter 262


    Noticing her icy stare, Elijah suddenly felt extremely ufortable.


    Did it mean she would punish him for Colin’s sake? So, did she genuinely like Colin?


    Elijah’s heart throbbed painfully.


    “I don’t know!” Elijah said, his eyes reddening, looking at her with utmost seriousness. “Is it because


    you like that person so much that you want to punish me for what I did to that person? I only sent that


    person away!”


    Sheena burst intoughter. It was the first time she had seen someone shamelessly continue to lie like


    this.

    “Elijah, it’s clear that you like that person! How could you bear to bring that person harm? Aren’t you


    disgusted by your own act?”


    Elijah was utterly confused.


    How could he possibly like Colin?


    “I only like women! Moreover, I only like you! Everything I did during this time was sincere. Can’t you


    see that?”


    Even though Elijah was on his knees, looking up at Sheena when he shouted, his momentum was


    fierce, showing no signs of surrender.


    Sheena was somewhat impressed by his skill in ying dumb, but she did not have the patience to


    listen to Elijah further, so she stood up and walked to the window.


    The rain outside was still pouring heavily, creating a loud sound as it hit the eaves and the stone bs,


    as noisy as the voice of a certain man in the room.


    She narrowed her eyes, unable to suppress her anger any longer. “The rain tonight is magnificent.


    Since you insist on not speaking, kneel in the garden and enjoy the rain. Rise only when you’re ready


    to tell the truth.”


    “What?” Elijah was dumbfounded.


    If he knelt in the garden, all the bodyguards would see him!


    Was she trampling on his dignity, for Colin’s sake?


    Sheena numbly watched the raindrops creating lines on the window. “Do you remember when Faye


    wrongly used me of stealing jewelry? Although Erin repaid the debt, she knelt for less than half an


    hour. The duration is too short, so kneel andpensate for that time.”


    Elijah had always felt remorse about this matter.


    “Fine,” he said, supporting his knees and standing up. “But I kneel because I owe you, the Freeman

    family owes you. I do it for you, not because I think I did something wrong. Even if it happens again, I


    will still send that person away.”


    This statement ignited Sheena’s anger to the extreme. She exploded, “Get out and kneel!”


    Elijah straightened his back and walked out.


    Sheena stood by the window, watching.


    As Elijah reached the spot in the garden beneath her window, he knelt on the stone bs without


    hesitation. Despite the rain and the cold wind, he showed no signs of submission.


    The heavy rain, apanied by a chill, soaked him entirely. Each raindrop felt like a painfulsh


    whenever it hit his shoulders and head. He struggled to lift his head, looking toward the third–floor


    window. His longshes were coated with droplets, turning his vision slightly blurry.


    Sheena’s room was lit, and she stood by the window. Due to the backlighting, Elijah could not see her


    face, but he keenly felt her gaze on him. However, her gaze was as cold as the impending winter rain


    With the punishment epted, could they turn the page on this matter?


    Could they return to the harmonious days beforest night?


    Elijah knelt there, bored, his mind wandering. The pain in his knees became piercing, and his legs


    started feeling numb. Soon, he started to slouch slightly, unable to straighten his back as before.


    The uneven stone bs felt like thousands of needles stabbing into his knees.


    Suddenly, he remembered that Sheena had knelt like this in the Freeman family. Did she feel the same


    sense of helplessness and injustice back then?
