Chapter 474


    Barbara was waiting for them at the front door.


    When they arrived, Sheena naturally let go of Elliot and affectionately walked up to Barbara. Although


    the warmth of Sheena’s hand had suddenly disappeared from Elliot’s palm, its lingering touch had not


    completely faded.

    Unexpectedly, ElHot felt a moment of dizziness and a brief ringing in his ears. His legs almost gave


    way, but he managed to steady himself, taking a deep breath to suppress the suffocating feeling.


    What was this strange sensation in his body?


    Was it a sign of the unknown consequences of the S404 bio–virus, as Yosef had mentioned, or was it


    just his imagination?


    Noticing that Elliot did not follow her, Sheena turned back to see Elliot seemingly frozen in ce, lost in


    thought.


    “What’s wrong?”


    Elliot collected himself and silently caught up with them.


    “Nothing. I suddenly remembered some work–rted matters.”


    Barbara was not pleased with his behavior. “This is inappropriate. You’re finally apanying Nana


    back to the Lawson family for a meal, and you’re still thinking about work?”


    Barbara’s concern shifted to Sheena as she added, “Nana, has he been treating you welltely? If he


    dares to mistreat you, youe back and tell us. Corey will always have your back.”


    Rtionship matters were supposed to be between two people, and Sheena preferred handling them


    on her own. She nodded nonchntly and asionally nced back at Elliot, realizing that something


    had been off since they entered the mansion.


    “Eli, yourplexion doesn’t look good. Are you feeling unwell?”


    Elliot smiled and replied, “I’m fine. It’s probably because I haven’t been out at night for a long time. I’m


    not used to the cold.”


    Sheena observed the rustling leaves in the garden blown by the wind. “It does seem a bit chilly. Let’s


    go inside quickly.”


    Albert, Corey, and Lauren were already waiting in the dining room.


    Barbara sat next to Corey, and Sheena and Elliot sat together.


    Being the host, Albert had not started eating, and everyone sat up straight, waiting.


    Albert surveyed everyone in the room, his gaze finally settling on Sheena, and he smiled.


    “In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. My youngest sweetheart has grown up. If only

    Noah and Howard were back today, and if Howard brought Katie along, the family would beplete,


    “he said, his words adding a touch of gravity to the atmosphere in the dining room.


    “Unfortunately, Noah has a peculiar temper. Until now, he hasn’t settled down. I think I’ll have to


    intervene and find him a suitable match,” Albert sighed, reflecting on the passing years as he began to


    enjoy his meal.


    The others followed suit and began eating.


    Sheena, however had not touched her food. She looked at Albert and said, “Dad, maybe you


    shouldn’t worry too much about Noah. I think he has a n, and he might bring you a daughter–in-


    “Really? Has Noah set his eyes on someone already?” Albert inquired.


    Sheena chuckled. “I can’t say for sure, but just trust him, Dad.”


    Before Albert could respond, Lauren interjected with a scornfulugh. “Isn’t that wishful thinking? Can


    the children of affluent families really make their own choices in marriage? What if Noah brings back


    some uncultured wild girl? Wouldn’t the Lawson family be aughingstock?”


    She sneered and deliberately directed her criticism toward Sheena, saying, “Not everyone can be as


    willful as you. Three years ago, you insisted on marrying your ex–husband. Even the Gods didn’t favor


    your union, and you caused his death before running back to Svelton.”


    As soon as she said that, Corey, Barbara, and Elliot immediately mmed their utensils down, causing


    Lauren to tremble in shock.
