Wait She s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson ) Chapter 429

Chapter 429

Elliot’s mind was a blank.

Eli? He had never considered that she would affectionately call him that.

Was she referring to Elijah, the past version of him?

Did this imply that she still had some sentiment left for him?

His heart was in turmoil, and after much hesitation, he finally mustered the courage to speak.

“Sheena, I…”

Before he could finish, Sheena, with her rosy face, angrily grabbed the cuff of his sleeve.

“Elijah, if you dare to lie to me again! I’ll dig up your grave! Even if you’re cremated, I’ll find a way to torture you!”

So ruthless…

Elliot decided to stay silent. He sat on the edge of the bed, contemplating.

He knew that Sheena no longer loved him. As her ex–husband, it seemed his sole purpose was to be a scapegoat for her frustrations. If Sheena found out that he had woven a massive lie to deceive her, would she detest him and never give him another chance?

A heavy feeling weighed on his chest as Elliot silently sat by the bed, watching Sheena sleeping peacefully. He had invested so much effort into securing this engagement because his biggest regret was divorcing her.

He was terrified of losing her again.

Since confessing might only make things worse, he decided to let her accept the irrevocable fact that Elijah had passed away. He would start anew with her, embracing his identity as Elliot.

Sheena slept restlessly, her furrowed brows revealing her frustration even in slumber.

Elliot gently used his hand to smooth her furrowed brow and bent down to lightly kiss her forehead. Then, he went to the bathroom to fetch a towel, wiped her face and hands, and finally took a new cotton blanket from the wardrobe, settling on the small sofa for the night.

Elliot was awakened by the sound of the door unlocking from outside. Seeing that Sheena was still asleep, he quietly left the room.

It was Grant, smiling mischievously. “Mr. Jenkins, did you and Ms. Lawson hit it off last night? Did

you two…”

He made a thumbs–up gesture with both hands.

Elliot’s expression remained cold as he avoided the topic, saying, “When Ms. Lawson wakes let

up, her have breakfast with Grandpa before leaving. If she doesn’t want to, do not force her.”

“Yes, Mr. Jenkins.”

Elliot first went to the adjacent room to freshen up and exited Santiago’s mansion. Just as he reached the entrance, he heard voices around the corner. On closer check, it was Lionel and, he believed, John.

“John, why are you here so early? Ms. Sheena probably hasn’t woken up yet. You might have to wait a

while.”

“Waiting is fine, but she didn’t drink last night, did she? She had quite a bit at the banquet, so she might be drunk again. She thinks she still has her old alcohol tolerance, and she doesn’t have self- control!”

John sighed heavily.

Lionel was curious. “What’s up with Ms. Sheena?”

John hesitated before replying, “It’s all in the past. She doesn’t want us to talk about it. If she finds out, I’ll lose my pay.”

“I rarely see her, and she won’t know. Plus, only three of us are here, and I can keep a secret. Just tell

me!”

Standing on the other side of the wall, Elliot had initially decided to leave but returned upon hearing the conversation concerning Sheena.

John continued, “Do you remember Mr. Freeman’s death half a year ago? Since the day she returned after Mr. Freeman’s funeral, she locked herself in his room for three whole days, not eating or drinking, crying her eyes out. She even drank all the alcohol in the liquor cabinet on an empty stomach! Her body couldn’t handle it, and her stomach was almost burnt through. Since then, her overall health has deteriorated.”

Lionel was shocked.
