Chapter 619
Nathaniel’s blue serum…
“Eli, what are you thinking about?” Sheena, still half–asleep, gently tugged on the hem of his shirt, interrupting his thoughts.
He turned to grasp her hand, his tone casual as he replied, “Nothing much, just contemplating what delicious dishes I should prepare for you.
“Your culinary skills were expertly honed by me back in Farlem, and I love anything you cook,
Sheena murmured with a smile. “Speaking of which, the employment contract we signed back then hasn’t expired yet.”
Elliot’s expression stiffened.
The mention of that embarrassing past, the forced employment contract, prompted him to lift the covers and press Sheena down.
“Nana, are you still planning to dominate me for a few more months?”
Sheena, with a hazy look in her eyes, chuckled. “No. Elijah Freeman was the name on the agreement. It has nothing to do with you.”
Besides, her mindset was different now, and she could not bear mistreating him. All she wanted was to completely cure the virus in his body and live happily and healthily.
Satisfied, Elliot kissed her forehead.
“Rest a bit more. I’ll wake you when the food is ready.”
He then got out of bed and went to the kitchen to cook.
Two days passed peacefully.
Until the third day.
In the afternoon, while Sheena was busy in her office, she received an international call on her phone from an unknown number.
Glancing at the screen, she knew it was Nathaniel, and the good mood she had been in for the past days was shattered instantly.
Sheena answered with an unfriendly tone, “What’s the matter?”
few
Nathaniel chuckled. “It’s been many days, Nana. Missed me?”
Feeling nauseous, Sheena retorted, “If there’s nothing important, I’m hanging up.”
“Come on, I’m just asking. Have you reconsidered my last two conditions?”
Sheena remained silent before finally saying, “Not yet. I need more time to think.”

“Still need more time?” Nathaniel sounded a bit displeased. “Nana, don’t play me for a fool. I’m not that easy to deceive.”
Her tone turned cold. “You should know that once the engagement with Elliot is called off, it will stir up a storm. I have to arrange the aftermath in advance and minimize the losses for the Lawson Group.
“Fine, whether you’re trying to deceive me or just buying time, I’m not afraid. You’ll come to me sooner or later!”
He deliberately lowered his voice when he said the last sentence, sounding
Sheena was incredibly displeased.
Once Elliot was truly cured, she would not let Nathaniel off the hook!
She would make him endure torment a thousand times worse than Elliot’s!
ominous.
About to hang up the phone, she suddenly noticed that the caller ID showed the call as an international call.
“Nathaniel, did you leave the country?”
“Yes, that clingy dog of yours keeps trying to catch me. He nearly killed me, and I’ve just recovered from my injuries. To ensure I can marry you with all limbs intact, I decided to take a breather abroad.”
He coughed twice, his tone casual.
Sheena gritted her teeth, not mincing words. “If he’s a dog, then you’re even worse than a dog!.. Nathaniel, I didn’t expect that after spending half a year in the high–security prison, your manners
would decline to this extent.”
“Yes, it’s my bad. I should address him as Mr. Jenkins. Don’t get angry.”
Sheena suppressed her anger and continued with a probing tone, “Where are you? Laubabwe?”
Nathaniel was pleased. “It warms my heart to hear your concern, but that information is a secret. Anyway, I’ll wait for your answer!”
If he would not divulge his location, there would be nothing more to discuss between them. Sheena immediately hung up and called Ford into the room.
