Chapter 913
Sheena almost instinctively reached out to stop Elliot from taking the ring.
“It’s far too precious for me, and it’s small. What if it really gets lost? Give it back.”
This had always been the gift she treasured the most.
During the darkest days of her life, when she was manipulated by Sheila and distrusted by the entire Lawson family, Elliot was the one who supported her.
The valuable engagement ring gave her the belief to persist in finding the truth.
Even now, she still regarded that period as a dark time, and this ring was the only hope she had then.
Sheena decisively snatched the ring and placed it back in the jewelry box.
Seeing how nervous she was about the ruby and diamond ring, Elliot felt a warmth in his
heart.
He rubbed his face against hers, saying, “Even if it really gets lost, I can always buy you another one.”
“Even if you buy twenty more, it won’t be the same as this ring.”
In that instant, she sensed a hidden meaning behind Elliot’s words.
So, Sheena narrowed her eyes and questioned him, “You’ve handed over all your assets, so where did you get the money to buy such an expensive ring? Did you secretly stash some money away?”
Elliot paused, forgetting about this aspect.
When Sheena noticed he was taken aback, she twisted his ear, scolding, “Tell me the truth. Are you hiding something from me?”
Elliot put on an aggrieved look, knowing that it was best to admit he was wrong first.
“I’m sorry, honey. I have you and the twins. That’s all I need. Why would I need to stash money away? Besides, you’ve never restricted my spending. If I were to stash money away, wouldn’t that just give you a reason to punish me? I’m not that foolish.”
Sheena did not let go, but her grip became lighter.
She teased, “How could you be foolish? You’re smart, especially when it comes to fooling

- me. You’re an expert at it.”
Elliot looked at her pitifully, pouting, “Nana, that’s unfair. You’re so sharp. I wouldn’t. dare fool you.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll have to test you.
She released her grip on his carlobe, teasingly trailing her fingertips from his ear to hist Adam’s apple, then sliding down again, successfully stirring Elliot’s emotions…
The two of them engaged in playful banter for a while.
Eventually, Sheena settled on a pair of expensive crystal earrings as the lucky one for her plan.
During the afternoon tea time, the young ladies of the prestigious families in Svelton, including Naomi and Gabrielle, had almost all arrived.
The entire hotel’s rooftop garden had been elegantly decorated in advance.
On the long table were fruit tea and honey lemon tea, served in exclusive porcelain tea sets brought by Sheena from E&S Haven.
There were also various exquisite desserts and pastries, captivating many young ladies to take photos for their social media.
Some even captioned, [What a beautiful day to attend Mrs. Jenkins‘ tea party. All the ladies here are so adorable.]
All the girls were having a great time except for Gabrielle, the usually carefree girl who was uncharacteristically not smiling this time.
Sheena’s attention had been on Gabrielle all the time.
When she noticed that Gabrielle was not in the right mood, she immediately grabbed a plate of delicate desserts and walked over to her.
“Gabrielle, what’s wrong? It’s rare to see you with such a long face.” “Sheena.”
