Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 623
âI sent you a message telling you that Iâd be eating out tonight and would be back later. Why did you come out looking for me?â
Elliotâs handsome face darkened, expressing his displeasure. âI got anxious. I didnât see you all day and waiting until evening felt unbearable,â
In front of Naomi and Gabrielle, Sheena blushed and struggled a bit.
âCâCan you please put me down.
Elliot held her even tighter, leaned close to her ear, and lowered his voice to a soft whisper, âNana, donât forget about the three rules we agreed upon.â
They had agreed that outside, Sheena would pretend to go along with whatever he said. Once they were home, she had full control.
Sheena immediately stopped struggling and whispered, âI havenât eaten enough. You said youâd grill meat for me at home. What kind of meat are you planning to grill?â
Elliot raised an eyebrow, smiling mischievously. âMake a guess.
That expressionâ¦.
It was definitely not the kind of meat she had in mind!
Next to them, Naomi and Gabrielle, being relatively young, could not understand what the couple was saying. However, witnessing their intimate carâbiting and affectionate behavior, they could not help
but feel envious.
Suddenly, the grilled meat on their plates seemed less appetizing!
Sheena blushed at the situation, feeling a bit embarrassed. âYou two enjoy your meal. Iâll leave my card at the front desk to settle the bill. Order anything you want. Iâll be leaving first!â
âHurry up!â Gabrielle teased, looking envious. âIf you donât leave soon, Naomi and Iâll no longer be in the mood to eat!â
Elliot smirked as he looked at Sheena. âDid you hear that? Theyâre telling us not to disturb them while theyâre eating. Letâs go home!â
He carried Sheena out of the restaurant, allowing Ford to take the car Sheena had arrived in back to their place while Sheena rode in Elliotâs car.
During the drive, Elliot told Sheena about the encounter with Colin in the hallway.
âColin wanted to poison me?â Sheena was somewhat dumbfounded when she heard it. âIâve known. him for many years, and I understand him quite well. He doesnât seem like someone who would do such a foolish thing.â

Moreover, with Katie in jail, the Upton family was relying solely on him. What he did, regardless of the outcome, was selfâdestructive.
This reckless move was very out of character for him.
Unlessâ¦
âSomeone must be trying to egg him on and promise him some benefits. Otherwise, he wouldnât take such a desperate gamble.â
Elliot nodded. âIâll have Lionel investigate this. But Iâm curious. How do you want to handle the Upton family matters?â
Sheena rubbed her temples, feeling a bit tired, and spoke casually, âOnce we catch Colin, heâll be charged with attempted murder. As for the Upton family affairs, deal with it however you feel like.â
She had no energy left to deal with that. At the moment, she just wanted to resolve Nathanielâs situation as soon as possible.
Thinking about all this, Sheena asked, âHowâs your health lately? Feeling okay? Should I find time to accompany you to the lab for another checkâup?â
âNo need,â Elliot replied bluntly.
He gripped the steering wheel, and his pitchâblack eyes were fixed on the road ahead.
The yellow glow from the streetlights outlined his handsome face.
Lately, his vision would go black for a moment every day, irregularly occurring at any time, and the periods of darkness were becoming longer. He did not know when his eyesight would completely fail
perhaps even the very next dayâ¦
If he told Sheena, she would undoubtedly do whatever it took to fulfill Nathanielâs conditions for his cure. However, that would leave him in a state worse than death.
âEli, what are you thinking about?â
While lost in thought, Sheenaâs small hand caressed his face.
Elliot controlled the steering wheel with one hand while the other gently held hers, fingers
intertwined.
âJust thinking about you.â
Sheena blushed instantly.
Luckily, Lionel had gone to chase after Colin tonight, and Elliot was driving, leaving the car to the two
of them. Otherwise, she would probably die of embarrassment.
