Chapter 434


    Elliot gently released her from his embrace, stepped back, and slowly sank to his knees, his back


    straight, kneeling before her. She nced at this familiar gesture and almost instantly understood, her


    eyes reddening.


    “Elijah…”


    It was not a question but an affirmation.


    “It’s me.”


    Elliot did not deliberately lower his voice. Noticing the glistening tears in her eyes, his heart ached.


    Overwhelmed by guilt, his eyes welled up as well.

    Sheena tilted her head back, suppressing the tears that were about to fall, recing them with a cold


    expression.


    “You lied to me? Clearly, you didn’t die, yet you didn’te to find me. Instead, you deliberately wrote


    a sentimental farewell letter. Is it all a joke to you? Are you watching how I get deceived, how stupid I


    am not to see through your act?”


    “No, Nana, I…”


    “Shut up! Do you even have the right to call me that? Don’t you prefer calling me Ms. Lawson?”


    Elliot’s heart sank. He cautiously held her small hand, saying, “I’m sorry. Last night was my mistake,


    and I should’ve been honest. But when I wrote that letter, I wasn’t deceiving you. I can exin!”


    “Do you think I’ll believe you now? Why did you choose tonight to confess? Because you realized I


    didn’t believe your acting, afraid that I would expose you first. You were forced to confess because you


    saw that you couldn’t keep it hidden any longer, right?”


    Elliot hesitated slightly. Although not entirely urate, she had indeed guessed part of it.


    Seeing his expression, Sheena confirmed her suspicions, her eyes filled with even more disdain.


    “I don’t care whether you’re Elliot or Elijah. I hate it when people lie to me, especially faking death to


    deceive my emotions! It’s too much!”


    Elliot looked at her, suppressing the urge to cry. “I didn’t deceive your emotions. Can you please listen


    to my exnation?”


    “I don’t want to listen to anything! I never want to see you again!”


    She flung his hand away and turned to leave.


    “Don’t go, Nana!”


    Elliot crawled a few steps, trying to wrap his arms around her waist.


    “Get lost!”

    She pped him on the face with a force that was not too strong.


    Elliot’s cheek only turned slightly red from the p, but Sheena paused because she noticed that


    despite being hit, he was actually smiling.


    His dark eyes sparkled as he spoke softly, “Is one p enough to vent your anger? If not, feel free to


    continue. I can take it. I’m quite resilient!”


    Sheena stared at him coldly, as if trying to figure out what game he was ying, her eyes devoid of


    warmth.


    Elliot continued, “But don’t use your hands. They’ll hurt. Use this instead. Whip me until you feel


    satisfied.”


    As he spoke, he took a whip from his lower back and eagerly handed it to her.


    Sheena neither took it nor spoke.


    Elliot took matters into his own hands, forcefully cing the whip’s handle into hers. He then


    straightened his back, tilted his head, and looked at her with anticipation, obediently waiting for a


    beating.


    In front of her, he lowered himself to the lowest stance, sacrificing his posture and dignity.


    However, the more Sheena looked, the more irritated she became. She nced at the whip in her


    hand, suddenly recalling Lionel’s words when she entered. It was only now that she understood


    Lionel’s intention.


    Clearly, they were about to embark on a missionter, yet Elliot intentionally staged this act of apology.


    He pretended to be submissive, feigning innocence while fearing the pain, and even had Lionel remind


    her not to be too harsh.


    Was he putting on a show for her?


    It would be a waste of his borate efforts if she did not give him a couple ofshes!
