Chapter 515
The sky outside the window had turned pitch black, and the table lamp in the bedroom cast a warm, dim light.
Elliot’s face was turned away from the lamp, shrouded in shadows. Yet, Sheena felt the intensity of his gaze.
She sat up, leaving his embrace, and gently caressed his cheek with her small hand, her sparkling eyes incredibly earnestly.
“Eli, I once thought I could let go of my love for you without any reservations, but it was only when I almost lost you that I truly understood myself. I love you.
After a moment’s pause, she continued, “Just like how you love me, deeply and sincerely. No matter how many times you ask in the future, my answer will always be, I love you!”
As their eyes met, both of them had tears in their eyes.
Elliot held back his tears and pulled her back into his arms, holding her so tight that his arms trembled.
Sheena said she loved him just as deeply as he loved her. Although he would have preferred her to say otherwise this time, hearing her sincere declaration moved him deeply.
With her saying those words, his life felt complete.
Sensing his tension, Sheena gently patted his back, offering comfort. The embrace lasted for a time. So long that Sheena thought he had fallen asleep before he finally released her.
“It’s getting late. You should rest early tonight.”
“Huh?”
Sheena was a bit bewildered. It was only 9.30 p.m., and they were going to bed already?
Was she getting just a hug?
While she was still in a daze, Elliot had already snuggled under the blanket.
Elliot’s behavior was rather strange.
Sheena followed suit, settling into the bed, her head on his arm.
Playfully, she probed, “Eli, we haven’t seen each other for several days, and you finally returned
tonight. Aren’t we going to have a little bedtime massage?”

Elliot closed his eyes, his indifferent expression clearly indicating tonight’s restraint, and he did not respond to her words.
Sheena felt a bit frustrated.

After not seeing each other for several days, was he being this aloof right after returning?
Did he no longer desire her touch?
Was she losing her charm?
As if refusing to believe it, Sheena’s hand under the covers once again reached into his robe.
Elliot furrowed his brows, gently grabbing her hands and murmuring, “Don’t be naughty. Go to sleep.
Sheena pouted, a bit annoyed. Her cheeks were puffed up like a little pufferfish.
“Eli, you came back and haven’t even kissed me. Not only that, but you’re also going to bed so early. What happened?”
The implication of her words was clear.
She accused him softly, her playful gaze unabashedly seductive.
Elliot closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, his dark eyes seemed
indifferent.
“Sheena, let’s… break our engagement.”
“Huh?” Sheena was stunned for a moment before realizing what he meant. “What did you say?”
Moreover, he called her Sheena, not Nana. In his magnetic and steady tone, there was a hint of
detachment.
Sheena frowned. She sat up abruptly and stared at him with a cold gaze. With a hint of uncertainty in her tone, she said, “Say that again.”
Elliot did not sit up. Instead, he tucked his shoulder under the blanket and whispered, “I said, let’s break up.”
His tone was light and calm.
Yet, Sheena felt her heart being cut by a sharp knife, aching throughout her body.
“Why?”
She simply could not understand.
Why did he feel like a stranger, to the point where she could not comprehend what he was thinking?
