Chapter 864
After all, Sheena was a stunning beauty.
As her husband, Elliot could not help but worry if those audacious men tried to flirt with Sheena if he was not around.
Just the thought of it made him furious.
Sheena helped him put on his gloves and patiently said, “Eli, remember what you promised me last night? You said you’d prioritize the babies just like I do. If you really want to go, then I’ll stay behind and help Auntie Freida take care of the babies.”
“Why can’t we go together?” Elliot persisted, “If you’re worried, I can have a whole team of soldiers stationed here, making sure not even an ant gets close.”
Sheena was at a loss for words.
Why was Elliot so dramatic?
Elliot continued, “If you think that’s not enough, I’ll even get Lionel and Jacintha over, asking them
to look after the twins with Auntie Freida.”
Sheena met his gaze, staying silent.
He looked hurt, adding, “If I go alone, aren’t you afraid that someone might seduce me and steal my heart away?”
Sheena’s expression turned serious. “If some random woman can steal your heart, then I don’t want you anymore. Even if we have children, I’ll leave with them, so you’ll never find us.”
Elliot gulped, realizing he might have dug himself into a hole.
Quickly, he raised his finger and swore, “I chose the wrong example. I promise I’ll never let that happen, but Nana, we must go together so we both rest easy. Can’t you follow my suggestion this time?”
He softened his tone, pleading gently.
Sheena pinched his cheek, finally relenting-
Ever since the harsh punishment, Elliot had been on his best behavior.
He was attentive to Sheena’s needs, eager to help with the babies, and always one step ahead.
The business banquet was held at night, and Sheena and Elliot did not change into formal attire until the afternoon.
Lionel and Jacintha arrived at E&S Haven around midday.
They were more than willing to help Freida with the babies.
Chapter 864
They surrounded Asher and Adora, and the atmosphere was peaceful.
While Lionel went downstairs to learn how to handle the baby bottles with Freida, Jacintha took Sheena’s arm and whispered, “Sheena, do you remember what you told me a few months ago when you married Mr. Jenkins?”
Sheena shook her head.
With all the things she had to say every day, how could she remember that particular conversation
Jacintha explained with a mischievous smile, “You said that day that it’s essential to have control over my finances to be able to take charge of my life.”
It jogged Sheena’s memory, and she replied, “I vaguely remember saying something like that why Is there a problem with that statement?”
Jacintha grinned even wider, her eyes gleaming mischievously.

“I finally figured out a way to take control of the finances from Lionel! Now, he has to come to me for money, and let me tell you, having control over the finances feels amazing!”
Sheena stared at her in amazement, asking, “Oh? What did you do?”
Jacintha leaned in close, whispering mysteriously in her ear, right in front of Elliot, “Well, I just…”
As they were gossiping with each other, Lionel and Freida walked in.
Noticing Jacintha and Sheena whispering secrets, Lionel chuckled and teased, “What are you twG chatting about? You’re even trying to exclude me and Elliot!”
Elliot’s already dark expression darkened further as he glared at Lionel.
“Keep an eye on your girl. What’s she doing cozying up to my wife at my house?”
“Sure thing. I’ll make sure to give her a good talking to,” Lionel said with a smile, pulling the reluctant Jacintha away.
Jacintha pouted and muttered, “Sheena, I’ll tell you next time when I have a chance. It’s really interesting!”
Sheena smiled faintly. “Sure, I’ll be waiting.”
The four chatted for a while, and it was getting late.
Sheena and Elliot immediately set off to attend the business banquet. Before leaving, Sheena checked the security of the entire mansion several times to ensure her peace of mind.
To reassure her, Elliot actually had Lionel bring in the entire Fourth Division’s soldiers to guard the perimeter around the mansion.
It looked like an imposing fortress from afar.
