Chapter 526


    However, this time, it was a punishing kiss filled with rough, predatory intensity.


    Sheena’s snow–white teeth tore and bit into his lip.


    Elliot winced in pain, furrowing his brow, and involuntarily let out a slight groan.


    Everyone in the conference room stared in shock.


    Some covered their mouths in disbelief, and others swallowed hard, envious yet feeling a tinge of


    bitterness.


    Some awkwardly covered their faces, sneakily peering through their fingers.


    They were not prepared to witness their usually powerful CEO being overpowered by his wife in such a


    manner!


    This was simply too exciting!


    Lionel, pretending to rush in with files, saw the scene at the main seat and promptly took action to clear


    the room.

    “Mr. Jenkins has some personal matters to attend to. The meeting is postponed until further notice.


    Everyone, please leave!”


    Reluctantly, people left the room in an orderly fashion under Lionel’s direction. Once everyone was


    gone, Lionel considerately closed all the doors and windows, leaving the room inplete silence.


    The kiss lingered for a long time, only stopping when a soft whimper escaped from Elliot.


    Sheena ceased her punishment.


    Elliot’s lips were swollen, and his originally pale lips now bore the bright imprint of Sheena’s lipstick,


    creating a vivid contrast.


    Sheena gently removed the mask covering the upper half of his face, still restraining his hands to


    prevent any movement.


    Sheena’s lipstick had smudged, and she delicately licked the top of her teeth, making her resemble a


    beautiful, just–fed vampire.


    “Had enough? Let’s see if you dare address me so formally again!”


    Despite her stern one, her sparkling eyes were tearful as she looked at him with concern.

    Elliot knew he was caught and looked away nervously.


    Without the earlier confidence, he mumbled, “You… found out so quickly…”


    “Mmhmm.” Sheena continued to hold his hands, preventing him from escaping. “If I were still in the


    dark, were you nning to keep it from me and quietly find a ce to die?”

    Elliot avoided her gaze, not answering her question. Instead, he asked, “Who told you? Was it Lione!?”


    Sheena decisively shook her head. “No, he refused to tell me. I found out on my own. You


    underestimated me!”


    He pressed his lips together, remaining silent.


    Sheena recalled the harsh reality she learned from Lionel moments ago. Tears glistened in her


    sparkling eyes as she spoke with a slightly choked voice, “Why didn’t you tell me about such a serious


    virus? Were you afraid I’d feel guilty or repulsed by you?”


    “Sorry, I’ve held you back…”


    Sheena’s heart twinged with guilt, trembling hands cradling his face.


    “Silly boy, you didn’t hold me back. It’s me… I held you back. If not for me, you wouldn’t have to endure


    this pain. I should be the one apologizing.”


    Elliot saw her warm tears falling, and his heart softened.


    There was an impulse to pull her into his arms, tofort her and gently kiss away her tears. However,


    Nathaniel’s words lingered in his ears, creating a tangled mess in his heart.


    Suppressing his urge, he spoke with a mncholic tone, “This was all voluntary on my part. It’s none of


    your fault. And… I don’t need your pity. I don’t need you to take care of me out of guilt.”


    Over time, she would grow tired of it.


    He did not want to bind her with the chains of guilt, nor did he want her to witness his painful


    breakdown by his side.


    Sheena gradually frowned as she listened, growing more and more infuriated. “Elliot! What nonsense


    are you talking about? Have you not been hit in a while? Are
