How could it feel like a ckout?


    Chapter 1055


    Elliot remainedposed, having already prepared to face Sheena’s questioning


    “You were exhaustedst night and fell asleep in the office lounge. I went to the Lawson Group and


    brought you back.”


    Sheena was slightly surprised. “So, I’ve been asleep all this time?”


    Elliot chuckled, gently tapping her nose. “Yep, my little sleepyhead. You slept for over


    ten hours.


    No wonder she had a headache.


    Sleeping for so long must have left her feeling dizzy and groggy.


    Sheenaughed too. “Well, in that case, I should go to the Lawson Group and get myself moving. It’s


    strange. I don’t feel hungry even after sleeping for so long.”


    Unable to stop her, Elliot did not intend to dissuade her further. “If you’re feeling unwell, just call me.


    Let’s leave work half an hour early tonight. I want to cook a nice meal for our first candlelit dinner since


    returning from abroad. It’ll be just the two of us. I’lle pick you up.”


    “Okay,” Sheena casually agreed, not noticing the implication of ‘just the two of us‘ in


    his words.


    With the headache relieved and her strength returning, Sheena managed to get out of bed and freshen


    up.


    By the time she finished washing her face and putting on makeup, the pain had gradually subsided.


    Elliot sat by the bedside, quietly observing her condition.


    “Since it’s still early, how about eating before we head out? I made some chicken soup.”


    Sheena shook her head. “I’m not hungry at all, and I don’t have any appetite. I’ll probably get hungry


    later after walking around. I’ll grab something outside.”


    “In that case, I’ll drive you to the office,” Elllot insisted, taking her hand and leading


    her out without further discussion.


    Seeing how willing he was to be her chauffeur, Sheena did not refuse and let him lead the way.


    In the afternoon, Sheena sessfully signed the contract with the project manager from Dorvell


    Corporation.


    “Ms. Lawson, here’s to a sessful partnership.”


    Sheena extended her hand for a friendly handshake. “Likewise.”


    As she finished up the contract signing, the red hues of the sunset outside the windows caught


    Sheena’s eye.


    Remembering Elliot’s words from earlier, she checked the time and realized she still


    had half an hour before quitting time.


    Since she had promised him, she should not stand him up.


    Sheena delegated the follow–up matters to her assistant and grabbed her bag before taking the


    elevator to the garage.


    As she was about to call Elliot, she spotted their familiar luxury car parked not far


    away.


    Sure enough, Elliot was sitting inside.


    Seeing her approach, Elliot got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side,


    and opened the door for her, helping her fasten her seatbelt.


    He was as thoughtful as always.


    While he bent down, Sheena nted a kiss on his lips.


    “If there were an award for you, it’d definitely be the Best Husband Award.”


    Elliot lifted her chin with one hand, deepening the kiss. “Then you’d win the Best Wife Award.”


    Sheenaughed, feeling genuinely happy from their lovely married life.

    On the way back to E&S Haven, Sheena stared out the window at the receding scenery, lost in thought.


    Elliot asionally nced at her to check her state, relieved to see her calm


    expression.


    At a red light, Sheena spotted a young mom pushing a stroller on the sidewalk and felt a sudden


    longing.


    “Eli, when the babies are a bit older, let’s each push a stroller and take them out for a


    walk. It would be so much fun.”


    Elliot agreed, “The babies would definitely love that.”


    Watching the young mom with the stroller, Sheena suddenly felt a pang of longing


    for their babies.


    “Strange, we only left E&S Haven at noon. It’s only been a few hours, but I already


    miss the babies a bit.”


    Elliot’s expression stiffened slightly. “Honey, let’s not talk about the kids tonight.


    When we return, let’s focus on our time together and have a candlelit dinner, just the two of us, okay?”


    Sheena nced at him, puzzled by his request, but she said nothing.


    Ten minutester, the luxury car pulled into the Jenkins estate garage.


    Elliot parked the car, got out first, and went to the passenger side to open the door


    for her.


    He then bent down and carried her out of the car.


    Sheena held him tightly around the neck, asking, “Why are you being so attentive tonight? Trying to


    woo me into bed?”


    Elliot smirked. “No, not at all. Until your concussion is fully healed, I don’t n on that. All pleasure–
