Sawyer nodded in agreement.
“What’s the harm? Mr. Jenkins is here, and his skills aren’t too shabby. He’ll take good care of Ms. Sheena. Let’s go find a place to drink and eat supper.”
“But what if…”
The two of them ‘reluctantly‘ followed Lionel and left.
In the hotel room, Elliot placed Sheena on the bed. He helped her remove her coat and high heels, tucked her in, and fetched a basin of warm water from the bathroom. He carefully wiped her face, moving cautiously, afraid of waking her.

The bedside lamp cast a dim, warm glow, adding a hint of sensual atmosphere to the room. Elliot’s gaze towel as it traced Sheena’s delicate features, seemingly etching them into his heart.
Even if he could only watch her sleep peacefully like this, he felt content.
This face, this person, was someone he wanted to love deeply.
However, she seemed to like Colin now…
It had only been half a year, and it felt like she had completely forgotten him. No, not entirely, as her ex–husband, he could still be brought up and blamed.
The more Elliot thought about it, the more his heart felt like it was being cut by a sharp knife. Elijah’s heart ached, and he sat at the bedside with red eyes, quietly watching Sheena.
Now that she was asleep, her features were serene, and her rosy, full lips were slightly parted, incredibly enticing.
Inwardly, Elliot wondered if he could steal a kiss from her. After all, when she got up the next day, she would not remember.
However, it might be inappropriate to do so.
Torn by conflicting thoughts, Elliot hesitated before leaning in quietly….
Sheena was already in a drunken state. This was the most she had drunk since the incident that had hurt her stomach.
Trembling, she opened her eyes, and her blurry vision was met with an extremely terrifying and magnified mask.
Almost instinctively, she smacked the face hard.

“What the hell! How dare you get close to me, you monster!”
Elliot never expected her to wake up suddenly, let alone launch a surprise attack. He cried out in pain.
The nose bone under the mask felt like it had been seriously flattened by the force of the blow. He wanted to rub his nose and check for a nosebleed, but he hesitated.
Sheena was awake, and he did not dare to take off the mask and could only forcefully suppress the pain.
Although Sheena was awake, the alcohol still had a firm grip on her. Her vision was blurry, and her head was spinning. The terrifying face in front of her circled like the hands of a clock.
Sheena propped herself up on the bed, moving backward while sitting up, curling up at the head of the bed. Her hands trembled as she formed a defensive posture.
“You, ugly thing, stay away from me!”
Elliot was quite helpless. Seeing that she seemed still intoxicated, he cleared his throat and hoarsely said, “Ms. Sheena, it’s me, Elliot.”
Elliot?
Sheena silently repeated the name. In recent days, this was the name she had heard the most.
She felt extreme disgust toward this name!
With the help of the alcohol, Sheena delivered a fierce kick and then reached for something on the bedside table to use as a weapon. She cursed menacingly, “You, despicable creature! You still want to marry me! I’ll send you to hell first!”
