The warm light illuminated the room.
Sheena seized the chance and flipped her upper body over, using her hands and elbows to keep Elliot at bay and prevent him from getting closer. Her chest heaved heavily due to the recent punishment, breathing in ragged gasps.
Noticing her glare, Elliot’s handsome face tensed, the corners of his eyes reddened, and his black eyes glistened, giving him a pitiful look.
“Nana, I can’t hold it any longer.”
Witnessing his helplessness for the first time, Sheena’s heart skipped a beat.
“Nana…”
After a brief struggle, Sheena succumbed to his exquisite acting skills and persuasion.
“Turn off the lights, and no leaving hickeys on my neck!”
Elliot triumphantly smiled and promptly switched off the bedside lamp with a crisp click.
Moonlight shone through the curtains, casting a gentle and sensual touch on the two in bed.
Soon, morning came.
Sheena slept deeply that night and was awakened by Elliot’s kiss. When she opened her eyes, she found him lying beside her, supporting his head with one hand with his elbow propped on the pillow.
He smiled seductively at Sheena, focusing on her.
“Did you sleep well last night?”
Sheena glanced at him, turned over, and continued sleeping. “I’m still so tired and sleepy.
Elliot embraced her waist, moved her into his arms, and rested her head in the crook of his arm.
Sheena did not resist, quickly drifting back into slumber.
Elliot watched her, deeply captivated. His well–defined fingers slid playfully along her nose. Having her in his life brought him immense happiness, a feeling he would cherish forever.
Even if he had to sacrifice his life in the future, he would have no regrets.
Her nose twitched from his tickling, and with a slight frown on her forehead, she asked, “What are you doing?”
Elliot leaned in close to her ear, his deep voice earnest as he suggested, “Nana, how about we establish a few ground rules?”
“Ground rules?” Sheena was still sleepy.

“Yeah, from now on, in private, I’ll follow your lead, but in public, try to follow mine, okay?”
Sheena pondered for a moment.
Men, especially someone like Elliot, positioned at the top of the pyramid with many subordinates following his commands, valued their pride. His authority outside was non–negotiable.
He wanted her to play the role of a gentle and delicate wife in public, a request Sheena could
understand.
“Okay.”
Elliot kissed her forehead contentedly. “So, how long do you plan to stay in bed? Do you have to deal with Phoebe’s trending topic today?”
“Yes! The trending topic!”
Sheena instantly woke up, reaching for her phone on the bedside table. Last night, she forgot to charge her phone while fooling around with Elliot. It was already low on power then, and by now, it had completely shut down.
After charging it for a few minutes, she turned it back on.
As soon as the phone restarted, the missed call notifications overwhelmed the screen. Most of them were from Wendy, and some from Ford.
Why would Ford call her so many times?
Did something bad happen to Phoebe?
She returned Ford’s call.
“Miss! You finally answered. Reporters have surrounded the hospital, insisting on interviewing Ms. Chamberlain. Paul and the hospital security are holding them back, but I don’t know how long they
can last!”
Sheena’s expression turned serious instantly. “How is Phoebe’s current mental state? Can she handle an interview?”
Ford glanced into the ward. “She seems a bit unstable, and the reporters‘ questions are usually sharp. Their questions might trigger Ms. Chamberlain’s sensitive emotions.”
“Okay, I got it. I’m coming over right away.”
