Chapter 999
Sheena stared at Elliot, feeling confused.
“Honey?”
Elliot’s expression darkened, and his tone dripped with jealousy as he asked, “Care to explain why you were alone with Nathaniel in the nursery?”
Sheena was even more baffled.
“What’s there to explain?”
He took a deep breath, feeling a lump in his throat, and his
eyes were red.
“You were alone with him, laughing and chatting. It’s inappropriate. Shee-”
He almost called out Sheena’s name directly but restrained himself.
After all, he had learned from past arguments not to address her directly when upset.
“Nana, you’re married. How could you be alone with a single man? Did you… Did he do anything inappropriate? Did he touch you?”
Despite the seriousness of his tone, the use of her nickname softened the accusation, sounding as if he were a beloved father scolding his daughter,
Sheena was speechless.
Despite having children together, Elliot’s jealousy seemed never–ending.
“What do you mean alone and inappropriate? What about our kids? Aren’t Asher and Adora in the
room?”
“They don’t count. They’re just babies, oblivious to everything. Even if you and Nathaniel were… kissing right in front of them, they wouldn’t object.”
Sheena’s gaze turned icy, feeling increasingly frustrated and hurt.”
“Elliot, after everything we’ve been through, you still question my loyalty to you? And using phrases. like ‘kissing right in front of them? How could you?”
Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned away from him, refusing to engage further.
Elliot noticed her sadness, realizing that the words he had prepared earlier were no longer appropriate in the face of her emotional distress.
“I’m sorry. It’s not that I don’t trust you. I just don’t trust Nathaniel. He used to be my rival. How could I trust him alone with you…”
Sheena did not look at him, turning to the side. “Ultimately, you still don’t trust me.”
Elliot sat beside her, cautiously reaching for her hand.
“Honey, I truly trust you. Just tell me what you and Nathaniel talked about in the nursery, and promise to believe every word.”
Sheena withdrew her hand coldly, scoffing.
“The fact that you’re saying this shows you don’t trust me.”
“Honey…” Elliot sighed silently, observing her sulking profile.
He turned to the bedside table and retrieved a ruler, placing it in her hand, then softly negotiated,” How about this? You explain, and I’ll let you decide what to do tonight. I won’t resist, no matter what you choose.”
Sheena emphasized, “No resistance at all?”
“None.”
She raised an eyebrow mischievously. “You acted irrationally and got jealous for the wrong. reasons. What if I want to spank your bottom? Will you resist?”
He hesitated.
Did it have to be such an embarrassing punishment?
However, being spanked by his own wife did not seem too bad.
He finally bit the bullet and replied, “I won’t resist at all.”
Sheena’s mischievous intentions grew.
“Alright then, I’ll tell you. Nathaniel and I were just playing with toys to entertain Asher and Adora. There was no physical contact between us whatsoever. As for conversation, it was casual. He asked about recent events and briefly inquired about when Dad passed away. That’s all.”
Elliot listened attentively. “Just that?”
“Just that,” Sheena raised her tone, emphasizing, “Do you still doubt me?”
“No, I believe you,” Elliot conceded, moving to sit on the bed, assuming a submissive posture as if awaiting Sheena’s reprimand.
Sheena chuckled, her gaze piercing. “Don’t think I’ll go easy on you tonight and just spank you a few times.”
He lowered his head, remaining silent.
Sheena rose, tapping the ruler against his neatly dressed collar.
“Off, all of it.”
Elliot undid the buttons and removed his clothes, starting with his suit and then his shirt.
In the warm bedroom light, his perfect physique gleamed like honey.
However, Sheena was not satisfied.
With the ruler sliding down his chest and abs, she instructed, “Keep going.”
