Chapter 789
Seeing Noah come out, everyone crowded around him.
Howard nervously asked, “Noah, how did it go?”
Noah kept his head down, silent. His aloof expression made it impossible to tell whether the test results were good or bad, and everyone felt uneasy.
Sheena resignedly said, “Noah, just spit it out. Even if the results are bad, it won’t be much worse than it is now, and I can handle it.”
Still silent, Noah walked up to Sheena, embraced her shoulders, and held her tightly. Suddenly, his usually cold and proud face softened with a rare smile.
“Nana, my dearest sister, is the most esteemed heiress of the Lawson family!”
With Noah’s revelation, the heavy burden on everyone’s hearts instantly lifted.
Only Elliot, with a dark expression, separated the two from their embrace, pulling Sheena into his
arms
“You’re both adults now. Siblings should be more mindful and not hug so freely.”
Sheena rolled her eyes helplessly at the jealous Elliot, sneaking her hand into his robe and pinching
his waist.
Howard breathed a sigh of relief, scolding Noah with a hint of annoyance, “Can’t you show a few more emotions? It’s such a good thing, but you scared us half to death!”
He seriously doubted if Noah would ever find a wife.
What kind of woman could handle Noah?
Noah remained indifferent, completely ignoring Howard’s complaints.
The group discussed tomorrow’s return banquet for a while.
To avoid raising suspicion at the Lawson family, Noah and Howard quietly returned to Mountville overnight, braving therain.
Although she had resolved her identity issues, Sheena’s heart still felt heavy, and she could not sleep.
Elliot noticed she was feeling down, and he held her tightly in his arms, gently kissing her forehead.
“Nana, I understand you. I know this situation is difficult for you. After all, being betrayed by someone you’ve respected for over twenty years is heart–wrenching.”
Tears welling up in her eyes, Sheena buried her face in his chest, not saying a word.
Elliot continued, “But Noah is right, and I also find this situation unbelievable. Perhaps… he has his reasons. You still need to meet him tomorrow in person, hear his explanation, and then come to a

conclusion.”
She gently nodded, holding onto him even tighter.

“Your body is not just your own now. Even if you don’t feel like resting, our babies still need rest. For their sake, you should try to calm down and get some sleep.”
“But… I really can’t sleep. I’m so upset…”
Elliot sighed silently, trying to find a solution. “How about I tell you a bedtime story?”
“No!” Sheena expressed disdain, “Your storytelling skills are terrible!”
“Exactly! Because it’s so boring, it’ll put you to sleep!”
Sheena was left speechless.
She could not argue with Elliot’s logic!
In the end, she reluctantly listened to his bedtime stories for twenty minutes and finally fell asleep under his hypnotic storytelling!
After a few hours of sleep, dawn broke.
The return banquet of the Lawson family was held promptly at Albert’s grand mansion on Mountville’s summit at 7.30 p.m.
