Chapter 736
Sheena contemplated, cautiously tilting her head to glance at Elliot.
Elliot was nestled in the curve of her arm, also looking at her with a slightly disgruntled expression.
“Nana, do you want to go downstairs now and see the gift Nathaniel sent you?”
“Um… can I?” Sheena asked.
The sparkle in Elliot’s eyes faded completely, and he left Sheena’s embrace, turning away from her. With a tone full of jealousy, he retorted, “It’s not meant for me, so if you want to see it, just go ahead.”
Sheena tentatively poked his back. “Are you upset?”
“No, just lamenting at life. You’re busy reminiscing about someone from your past, sparing no time to coddle your soon–to–be husband before bed.”
Sheena clicked her tongue lightly. “Oh my, someone’s jealous!”
Elliot frowned, not responding to her. He closed his eyes and brooded alone.
“Alright, stop being jealous. The package isn’t as important as you are. I’ll open it tomorrow. Besides, you’ve had a tough day. I need to comfort my little puppy to sleep!”
Her voice was gentle and soothing, and her small hand gently patted his shoulder to soothe his little
mood.
Elliot felt much better after hearing her words.
Satisfied, he turned over, snuggling into her arms. However, he suddenly sensed something off in her
words.
“Wait, little puppy?”
Sheena quickly kissed him. “No, no, I misspoke. You misheard. It’s Eli!”
Close enough.
Elliot hugged her tightly and soon drifted into a peaceful sleep.
The two enjoyed a restful night.
Early the next morning, Sheena went downstairs to open the package.
Nathaniel had sent various specialties from Harbor City, carefully selecting healthy snacks suitable for pregnant women for Sheena to enjoy..
In the package, there was also a letter.
Sheena opened it and began reading it attentively.
Elliot, supporting himself on the railing, walked down the stairs slowly. He could already see sheena engrossed in the contents of the letter.
“What did he say?” Elliot asked with a slightly strange tone.
“He mentioned that the culture in Harbor City is quite harloward, so he decided to become a teacher in the mountainous area. He claims to lead a fulfilling and content life. Nathaniel expressed regrets that he might not be able to return to celebrate when our twins are born but assured that he’ll send us gifts,
“That’s it?”
“Yes, that’s it.”
Elliot was skeptical. “Didn’t he say anything cheesy like ‘miss you‘, ‘thinking of you‘, or ‘dreamed of you‘?”
Sheena closed the letter and explained calmly, “No, he knows the boundaries.”
Elliot reluctantly believed her and did not press further. Then, he went to the kitchen to prepare
breakfast for Sheena.
Taking advantage of this break, Sheena wrote a letter informing Nathaniel about her upcoming. marriage. She also casually included two unopened local seasonings from home as gifts, asking Paul to send them to Nathaniel based on the address on his package.
After breakfast, as per their prior agreement, they went to Corey’s mansion to finalize the wedding
date.
It was set for a month later.
Elliot took the initiative to handle the wedding planning, even expressing his intention to temporarily set aside work to focus on preparations, ensuring Sheena the best wedding experience.
Hence, Sheena did not have to worry about wedding arrangements.
After the New Year, Sheena resumed her work with a peaceful mind, occasionally dealing with morning sickness and increased sleepiness, but overall, her health was good.
As spring approached, Sheena hurriedly finished breakfast, checking her messages while putting on her shoes at the entrance.
Elliot embraced her from behind, lazily resting his chin on her shoulder, his expression showing a hint of displeasure.
“Nana, you’ve been so busy lately, always coming home late…”
He had not been spending quality time with her, making him feel like a housewife waiting for the husband to come home.
