NovelEnglishChapter 899
Seeing Elliot's grim expression, Lionel quickly stepped forward and pulled Jacintha away.
He pretended to be stern and lectured Jacintha, “I've told you countless times that Sheena is Elliot's sweetheart.
You can look, but you can’t touch. Be careful not to upset him, or he’ll sendto straighten you out!”
Jacinta pouted, sulking silently.
The term “sweetheart” made Sheena blush slightly,
She waved for Jacintha to cto her side and said to Elliot, “You go ahead and cook. Let Lionel and Howard
assist you. I'll take Jacintha upstairs to see the babies.”
Jacintha instantly brightened up and happily ran back to Sheena’s side, and the two quickly went upstairs.
Downstairs in the living room, the three men looked at each other.
Howard and Lionel were clueless about cooking, not even knowing how to clean the vegetables, let alone
anything else.
The atmosphere becawkward in an instant
In the end, Howard and Lionel leaned against the kitchen door, watching Elliot cook skillfully inside

With long legs, a well-proportioned body, and a perfect physique, Elliot rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his
muscular and handsforearms.
As he prepared the ingredients, his exceptionally handsface looked unusually serious.
After silently observing for a while, Howard could not help but sigh, “Nana is really something. Back in Farlem, |
never would've imagined she could train you so well.
“If there was a live broadcast, | bet the high-level directors of the Jenkins Group would never have thought that
their usually stern and cold CEO would be wearing a black apron and mingling with pots and pans in the
kitchen.”
Lionel stifled a laugh with his fist in his mouth. “I'm curious too. When did Elliot becsuch a good cook? I'm
sure Sheena polished his skill before.”
They were all men, and they were all on the steam. Hence, there was no need to feel embarrassed.
Recalling past events, Elliot smiled helplessly.
“The first meal | cooked for Nana was a braised beef that turned into charcoal and deliberately spiced stir-fried
vegetable.”
Howard's expression changed instantly. “Did Nana really eat that?”
Elliot chuckled even more helplessly. “Nana is too clever for that. How could she eat it? She made me

eat it, and | vomited.”
Lionel and Howard burst into laughter.
Howard added, “Nana inherited Noah's deviousness. She’s full of cunning tricks.”
Lionel chimed in, “If Sheena ever publishes a training manual, it'd probably be a bestseller!”
The three of them laughed, the atmosphere incredibly harmonious.
Sometimes, the joy among men was just that simple, and they could quickly bond after just sharing some
lighthearted banter.
Once the stew was ready, Elliot called Sheena and Jacintha downstairs, and the five of them enjoyed a warm
meal together.
An hour later, it was early morning.
The sky was pitch black, the city unusually quiet, except for E&S Haven, which remained lively.
Howard, feeling choked with emotions, drank a lot and soon becintoxicated.
In fact, he was thoroughly drunk

He clung to Elliot's arm, his eyes bloodshot, constantly calling out, “Phoebe, | was wrong... It's all my fault...
Forgive me, cback to me...”
Elliot's expression darkened.
He firmly pressed Howard's forehead with his large hand and pushed him away.
Drunk as he was, Howard seemed to interpret the rejection of his apology as heartbreaking, his face full of
sadness and despair.
Unable to do anything else, Elliot had to knock him out and instructed Lionel, “It’s getting too late. When you
leave, make sure to arrange for Ford outside to take Howard home.”
“Got it, you can count on me.
Once everyone had left, the late-night gathering finally cto an end.
Sheena leaned on the table with one hand, her chin resting on her palm, lost in thought.
She had not drunk much, but her face was now adorned with a faint, alluring blush, making her look beautiful
and tempting.
Elliot watched her, feeling a dryness in his throat and a flutter in his heart.
He gently moved closer to Sheena, caressing the rosy flush on her face, and softly asked, “Nana, are you worried
about Howard and Phoebe’s matter?”
