Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 361
Sheenaâs expression gradually froze, staring at him in disbelief as she grumbled, âNate, are you actually doubting me?â
Nathaniel chuckled. âSilly girl, I was just teasing. Of course I trust you. But is this wine prepared by you or Elijah? Iâm skeptical of him.â
Sheena showed him her empty red wine glass. âIâve already drunk it. If someone did anything to it, I would be the first to be affected.â
Nathaniel remained silent, swirling the wine in his hand, still not drinking.
Sheena felt a bit displeased. Pouting, she glanced at the unopened bottle of red wine beside her and asked, âNate, are you trying to make me drink the whole bottle, just like last time, to prove my sincerity?â
Nathaniel stayed silent.
Sheena angrily grabbed the wine, but Nathaniel stopped her.
âI believe you. Even if this bottle were poisoned, I would drink it. After all, youâre a beautiful poison, and Iâve long been intoxicated by you.â
He smiled indulgently, finally lifting the glass, and taking a sip.
In the garden, Nathanielâs two trusted aides stood by the entrance, resembling two statues.
Ford approached them, asking in a friendly manner. âHey bros, I bet you havenât had dinner yet. We secretly grilled some kebabs in the backyard. Would you like to join us?â
The two aides, with cold expressions, immediately declined. âNo.â
Ford remained patient. âDonât worry, Ms. Sheena is always very friendly. With her around, Mr. Nicholls wonât get mad at you. Besides, itâs dinner time, and considering Mr. Nichollsâs relationship with her, weâll all be family sooner or later. This is just an early chance to get acquainted.â
This time, the two hesitated for a moment before saying, âNo need.â
Unable to break through, Ford was figuring out how to continue persuading them without being too insistent when Paul approached, carrying two skewers of kebabs, and handing them
over.
âFord, the barbecue tonight is delicious. You should try it. Ms. Sheena said Mr. Nicholls wonât leave so early, so letâs enjoy the food and drinks. Theyâve opened two bottles of beer for you over there. Come on.â
âAlright.â
Ford took a skewer and ate it in front of the two men, savoring every bite.
Few could resist the allure of freshly grilled kebabs. It was just too alluring!
The tantalizing aroma wafted in the breeze, and Nathanielâs aides stared at the meat in Fordâs hands, gulping hard, obviously resisting the temptation.

Ford continued enthusiastically, âBros, come on. Mr. Nicholls is probably staying late tonight. You two might have to go hungry for the entire night. Thereâs alcohol prepared in the backyard, so go and have a few sips, Mr. Nicholls wonât mind.â
The two men exchanged glances, ultimately unable to resist the temptation of the kebabs. Soon, they went to the backyard with Ford.
The dinner continued until late in the evening, well past 10 p.m. Nathaniel and Sheena chatted happily, his handsome face flushed, and his blue eyes now appeared a bit hazy.
âNana, Iâm truly happy that youâve changed your mind. In this world, no other man is worthy of you besides me. Weâre a match made in heaven.â
Sheena just smiled, remaining silent.
Nathaniel gazed at her affectionately. âI was still too young and naive when your mother passed away. Instead of staying with you and comforting you in your most vulnerable moments, I went after fame and fortune in the Special Investigation Department. Iâve blamed myself for many years for not protecting and comforting you. Can you forgive me?â
As he brought up the past, Sheenaâs smile gradually froze.
âNate, youâre drunk. Youâre starting to talk nonsense. Itâs getting very late, and you should go home.â
Nathaniel wanted to continue explaining, but Sheena called Ian to assist him into the car. Since his two trusted aides had a bit of alcohol in the backyard, they could not drive.
Ian, still recovering from his injuries, had only eaten some barbecue and was the only one among the bodyguards who had not consumed alcohol. So, he drove Nathaniel and the others back.
Once the military vehicle completely disappeared from Ocean Avenue, Ford quietly entered the mansion. Sheena still sat in the dining room, lost in thought.
âMiss?â Ford called her gently.
