Chapter 326


    Sheena nodded with a smile, watching the man’s figure disappearpletely down the hallway. It was


    not until she turned around that her gaze gradually turned cold.


    Sheena opened the private room door and found it quiet inside, with Nathaniel alone on the sofa,


    sipping red wine.


    “Mr. Nicholls, you wouldn’t go so far as to trick me intoing out by iming there’s an old friend,


    would you?” Sheena inquired.


    Nathaniel poured a ss of red wine for her, smiling wryly. “Nana, do you think I’m that kind of person?


    The old friend is real, just hasn’t arrived yet. Let’s have a drink and chat while we wait.”


    He pushed the full ss of red wine toward her.


    Sheena walked in and sat down but did not take the ss.


    Seeing she had no intention of drinking, Nathaniel chuckled.


    “Just have a ss for my farewell. Nana, you wouldn’t deny me this little favor, right?”


    After saying that, he, with a mncholic expression, downed a ss of wine. His blue lost


    eyes their former luster. Appearing somewhat unresigned, he filled his ss again, raising it toward


    Sheena.


    Sheena picked up the ss, elegantly swirling the deep red liquid and sniffing it delicately. Then, she


    asked, “We’ve known each other for so many years, but you wouldn’t be the kind of man to resort to


    such dirty tactics, right?”


    Nathaniel’s expression gradually turned serious. “Are you suspecting that I’ve spiked the drink?”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Sheena remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.


    Suddenly, Nathaniel stood up from the sofa, walked up to her, and took the ss from her hand,


    downing it in one go.


    Sheena observed him, still remainingposed.


    As if provoked by herck of trust, Nathaniel grabbed the half–empty bottle of wine from the table,


    swallowed it hurriedly, and spilled some down his neck. The red liquid stained his pristine white shirt.


    Having emptied the bottle, he forcefully tossed it against the opposite wall.


    It made a loud crash as it shattered into pieces.


    “Can you trust me now?”


    delicate


    Nathaniel staggered a bit, staring at Sheena. He was obviously hurt by Sheena’s remark. Feeling a


    surge of heat within, he roughly unbuttoned two buttons, revealing his corbones thatplemented


    his handsome face, exuding a strong allure. Unfortunately, Sheena had no time to appreciate his


    beauty. She chuckled gently. “It was just a little joke. I’m sorry if that made you


    Pset. Since it’s a farewell, Is


    indeed have a drink.”


    She stood up, opened a new bottle of red wine, filled a fresh ss, and elegantly offered it to


    Nathaniel. Without hesitation, she downed the entire ss and, after finishing, disyed the empty


    ss to him.


    Noticing that her attention was not on his subtle actions, Nathaniel’s heart sank.


    Could it be that with her little pet Elijah around, she had lost interest in observing other men’s


    physiques?


    With this thought, he wearily slumped back onto the sofa, reluctant to ept the situation, and voiced a


    final query, “Nana, is there really no way… for the two of us?”


    “Yes.”


    On this matter, Sheena showed no hesitation, her tone indifferent.


    Nathaniel lowered his head further.


    Although Sheena could not see his expression, she could unmistakably feel the intense aura of his


    sadness and despair. Heartbreak was inevitable, but she could not offer any words offort, let alone


    any chance for Nathaniel.


    Amid this awkward atmosphere in the private room, the door creaked open softly. A slender figure,


    walking in high heels, entered the room.


    Sheena turned to look and was surprised when she saw the person.
