Chapter 947
Apart from his gorgeous blue eyes, there was hardly a trace of the youthfulness on the man’s face.
His skin appears rougher than before, and he even had some stubble growing out.
It seemed that over the past year, he has weathered many storms, aging considerably.
However, when he gazed at Sheena, his eyes still brimmed with tenderness and adoration.
“Hey, Nana. Long time no see.”
Sheena stood there, staring at him in disbelief.
It had been almost a year, and she had not expected Nathaniel to have changed so much, appearing much more mature and composed.
After scrutinizing him for a moment, she smiled coyly.
“Long time no see, Mr. Nicholls.”
Nathaniel was taken aback, perhaps at her formality.
However, he quickly understood when he saw Elliot behind her.
He gently extended his hand and said hopefully, “After being apart for so long, can we… have a reunion hug?”
Sheena did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked back at Elliot.
Elliot kept his head down, giving no indication of his thoughts or feelings.
Hugging Nathaniel right in front of Elliot was not completely out of line, right?
With this in mind, Sheena tentatively stepped forward, extending her hands.
However, just as she was about a meter from Nathaniel, her arms were lightly bumped from behind.
Sheena turned her head to see Elliot circling around her and approached Nathaniel, looking displeased as if to strike.
Was Nathaniel going to get a beating as his welcome–back gift?
“Honey…”
Sheena started to protest, but she saw Elliot open his arms reluctantly and give Nathaniel a half–hearted hug before she could finish her sentence.
“Nana is my wife, and it’s inappropriate for her to touch another man.”
After saying that, Elliot patted Nathaniel’s back heavily twice.
Nathaniel was left speechless.
Both men were obviously disgusted.
Sheena chuckled, suddenly finding the interaction between them rather adorable.
“All right, how long are you two going to hug? Why do I feel like I’m the third wheel here?
Elliot and Nathaniel immediately released each other, their expressions grim.
Sheena took Elliot’s hand and led him to sit opposite Nathaniel.
“Why did you suddenly decide to come back?”
Nathaniel smiled, masking a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
“It wasn’t a sudden decision. After being abroad for so long, I felt like there was something I couldn’t shake off my mind. So, I came back to check on things. I sent you a parcel a few days ago, mentioning this. I thought you knew…”
“You sent a parcel?”
Sheena was surprised. She tried to recall and realized she had received one.
“Sorry, I’ve been quite busy lately, so I didn’t have time to open it. Ford usually handles the parcels, and I forgot to check.”
Nathaniel shrugged it off with a smile. “It’s okay, it’s not a big deal.”
The three of them exchange pleasantries for a while.
“Oh, by the way, have you heard about the Nicholls family acknowledging Phoebe? You’ve gained another little sister,” Sheena says.
“Phoebe?”
Nathaniel was clueless.
Chaster 947
3/3
During his year teaching in the rural countryside abroad, he never kept up with the- affairs of the Nicholls family. He only inquired about Sheena and was pleased to hear that Elliot treated her well.
“She’s a signed celebrity with Angle and also a good friend of mine from the Farlem orphanage. She’s involved with Howard…”
Sheena’s voice trailed off.
