Elliot lightly raised an eyebrow, teasing Lionel, “Put away that moved–to–tears look of yours. Don’t embarrass yourself in front of the girl next to you.”
Lionel quickly composed himself, putting on a serious expression.
Then, he turned to Lucy, not hiding his inner joy, “Did you hear that? I’m going to be a Jenkins from now on!”
Lucy smiled brightly, genuinely happy for him. “Congratulations, Lionel!”

Sheena.
Finally resolving matters in Laubabwe, the intense tension that had gripped her mind relaxed. She was so exhausted that she did not want to say a word or utter a syllable.
While they were joking and having fun, Sheena fell asleep in Elliot’s arms, and she slept soundly.
Elliot lowered his gaze, looking at the peacefully sleeping figure in his arms, feeling a bit puzzled by her state.
“What’s going on with Nana? It’s been several hours since we boarded the plane, and she doesn’t seem well. How can she sleep through all this noise?”
Lionel was surprised. “Didn’t you know? She’s pregnant.”
Pregnant?
Elliot was slightly stunned.
How could this be?
He always took male contraceptives before every encounter!
“If we roughly calculate, it’s been about three and a half weeks!”
Noticing that Elliot was completely unaware, Lionel explained with a somewhat complicated expression, “Lord Gale probably didn’t tell you. When she found out about the pregnancy, she made everyone believe that the child was Nathaniel’s to ensure the child’s safety.”
Elliot remained silent, lowering his head.
That day, he had originally planned to teach Sheena a lesson, but he ended up

acting on impulse…
It was all his fault.
Seeing that Elliot was not pleased and even looked quite stern, Lionel hurriedly added, “Mr. Jenkins, don’t misunderstand. It was really just an act. In the past half month, Nathaniel hasn’t touched Sheena. This child is yours!”
“I know.”
Elliot furrowed his brows, gently caressing the face of the sleeping girl in his
arms.
Learning from Lionel that Sheena had been experiencing morning sickness and excessive sleepiness for two and a half weeks, Elliot’s frown deepened.
Having such intense pregnancy symptoms so early was not a good sign.
Elliot hoped this baby would come into the world healthy and strong, sparing Sheena from suffering too much.
Meanwhile, in Froania, as the New Year approached, the entertainment industry was buzzing with year–end award ceremonies.
Thanks to the widely acclaimed and highly–rated show “Tales of the Past“, Phoebe nailed the Golden Flower Award for Best Actress.
After the award ceremony, holding her trophy, Phoebe, along with Michelle and Cordelia; joyfully returned to the dressing room.
As they entered, someone from outside gripped the doorknob before Cordelia could close it.
“Wait!”
It was a familiar and pleasing male voice.
Phoebe’s smile faded instantly; she recognized it as Caleb’s voice.
Though Caleb had been nominated at this year’s awards ceremony, he left empty- handed.
Entering the room with a cheerful demeanor, he looked at Phoebe seated at the dressing table.
“Phoebe, you’ve grown so much these past few months. Congratulations on winning the Best Actress award tonight!”
Maintaining a neutral expression, Phoebe continued touching up her makeup, treating him as if he were invisible.

Cordelia and Michelle did not welcome Caleb warmly either.
The atmosphere in the room turned tense as Caleb, seemingly oblivious to the awkwardness, walked to Phoebe’s side.
“Phoebe, what happened before was my fault. I let a despicable person deceive me and overlook your strengths. When we were separated, I finally realized how much I love you. Can you forgive me?”
