Elijah’s face paled. After many dilemmas, he replied, “Sheena it is.”

Chapter 228
After much contemplation, Elijah continued with a trembling voice, “These days, I finally understand my true feelings, realizing how absurdly wrong I was before. Sheena, the person I’ve liked, loved, and was grateful for, was you all along! I was foolish. In the beginning…”
Before he could finish, Sheena lifted his chin with her fingertips. Seeing his remorseful expression and genuine regret in his eyes, she could not help but think he was really feeling this way.
“Let me guess, you’ve had an epiphany and want to impregnate me so that we remarry?” Sheena smiled mockingly. Apart from sarcasm and coldness, her eyes had no other emotion.
Elijah’s heart ached. He was unsurprised that the bodyguards overheard Faye’s words that day and conveyed them to Sheena. Even so, he would never stoop to such despicable actions.
“I’ll never stoop to such behavior. From now on, I won’t deceive you or put on an act around you. Whether you believe it or not, I’ll prove that I’m willing to make amends for what I owe you, be it compensation or a price to pay. Just give me another chance.”
“Another chance?” Sheena chuckled. “I don’t know what’s wrong with you, but there’s one thing I’ll make clear to you. I’ll never marry you again. It’s impossible! Not in this lifetime, unless you die!”
Unless he dies?
Elijah bitterly smiled. He understood her character, yet he could not let go. He had to try, even if it meant letting his heart ache a little more.
“I hurt you too deeply and don’t deserve your forgiveness. If that’s the case, let me stay by your side forever as a servant to redeem myself.”
Forever?
Sheena raised an eyebrow slightly and teased, “So, if I marry someone else in the future, you’d be fine watching us show off our love every day?”
Elijah froze, and his face turned pale.
Witnessing his reaction, Sheena sneered, released her grip on his chin, and headed upstairs.
“Elijah, forever is too long. Who knows what might happen? Let’s see if you can get through this year before saying anything.”
Kneeling on the ground, Elijah could not shake off Sheena’s earlier words from his mind.
Could he really endure watching her in love with someone else every day?
The answer was obvious–He could not do it!
After spending a long time in the living room, Elijah gradually figured it out. Since Sheena did not believe his remorse, he would show it through his actions!
Elijah diligently cleaned up the remaining dishes and plates on the table before returning to his room for a shower
Upon entering the bathroom and removing his trousers, two packets fell to the floor with a
light thud. Bending to pick them up, he discovered three packets of coffee sugar. He did not pay much attention and thought they were placed in his pocket when he brewed coffee during the day. Then, he put them on the bedside table before continuing with his shower.
After the shower, Elijah came out dressed in a robe. Just as he finished blow–drying his hair, Sheena’s voice echoed upstairs.
“Elijah, come to the study.”
Elijah immediately changed into suitable clothes and went upstairs. Opening the study door, he found Sheena still working at the computer. Due to the wine, her cheeks were tinted with a

Sheena sternly instructed, “Make me a cup of coffee.”
Coffee at this hour?
her
Elijah tried to dissuade her, “You had wine tonight, and you should get some rest. Drinking coffee and staying up late is not good for your health.”
Sheena frowned and shot him a cold look. “Just do it.”
The talent show would come to an end in two days, and Sheena planned to turn the final round into a live broadcast. Therefore, these two days were crucial for finalizing the project plan. She hesitated to delegate the task to others as she preferred to oversee it personally.
Elijah, recognizing the determination in her eyes, knew that once Sheena made a decision, she rarely wavered.
“How long do you plan to stay up? I’ll stay with you as long as you need,” Elijah assured her before heading downstairs to the kitchen.
After brewing a plain cup of coffee, Elijah noticed the sugar packets were empty. Remembering the ones in his room, he returned to pick a random packet and added it to the coffee tray.
Sheena remained deeply engrossed in her work.
Elijah placed the coffee near her, closed the door, and leaned against it to accompany her through the night. About half an hour later, strange gasping sounds suddenly came from the study.
