    There was no room for negotiation for this matter. Elliot would notpromise,


    However, he knew Sheena would not easily relent if she did not achieve her goal. So, he snuggled into


    Sheena’s arms, ying the sympathy card, whining andining.


    “I was wrong. There won’t be a next time, I promise,” Elliot whimpered.


    Sheena nced down at him, unmoved.


    He continued to nuzzle into her, his voice aggrieved, “I didn’t even have the confidence to endure those


    eightyshes today. I’m still feeling restless. I need yourfort, Nana.”


    Sheena remained silent.


    He was lucky she had not beaten him up yet, and now he wantedfort?


    “Nana, I don’t want you to worry, so I won’t get hurt again, I promise! But if you ask me to swear by


    risking your life, it’s like asking for my own death. I just escaped a disaster in the hall. Can’t you let this


    slide andfort me?” Elliot pleaded with teary eyes, softly and gently inching closer to her lips,


    kissing her.


    Seeing her not refuse, he boldly pulled back the covers, treating her like a treasure, gently tucking her


    into bed and joining her under the covers.


    The next day, Sheena was awakened by the ringing phone on the bedside table.


    She groggily reached for it and nced at the screen, seeing an unfamiliar number.


    Assuming it was a wrong number, she ignored it and put the phone back.


    Half a minuteter, she received a text from the same unknown number.


    [Sheena, my return banquet is in two days. Today, I’m going to MC to select my outfit for that day. Will


    youe?]


    Reading this message, Sheena instantly woke up from her drowsiness, stafing at the text. Though


    there was no signature, she knew without a doubt that it was She.


    Another half minute passed, and another text message arrived from the same number.


    [I know you’ve been asking about metely. Why don’t you ask me in person? I’ll definitely tell you.]


    [Howard will be with me too. I hope you cane and help me choose the outfit!]


    Sheena read these three messages over and over, a cold smile ying at the corner of her mouth.


    She could not refuse such a generous invitation and made a simple reply.


    [Of course.]


    Elliot was still asleep, and Sheena did not want to wake him.

    She gently kissed his forehead, got out of bed quietly, and went to freshen up before leaving the house.


    An hourter, she arrived at MC, the most upscale custom luxury dress shop in Svelton.


    Howard was lounging on the leather sofa inside the store, casually eyeing She across from him.


    She was being led by a sales assistant, picking out dresses.


    Suddenly, he caught sight of a familiar figure entering from the doorway, and as his gaze swept over,


    he abruptly stood up.


    “Nana, what are you doing here?”


    Sheena smiled, but the smile did not quite reach her eyes.


    “She personally invited me over. It’s her big day in two days; how could I refuse?”


    Howard looked at her with concern, discreetly signaling her with his eyes, saying, “You’re pregnant.


    There’s no need for you to be here. It’s too tiring. Go back.‘


    Sheena remained unmoved by his gestures.


    Just then, She, who was in the dressing room, heard themotion and immediately came out,


    warmly grabbing Sheena’s wrist.


    “Sheena, you finally came! I saw several dresses I liked just now but couldn’t decide. Come help me


    choose.”


    As she led Sheena inside, she nced at Howard.


    “Howard, don’t worry, we’re just picking out a couple of dresses. It won’t tire Sheena out.


    Howard watched their retreating figures. Remembering Sheena’s cold demeanor just now, he sighed


    and inwardly and walked to the front desk, discreetly asking for pen paper.
