This continued several times. When Elijah looked at the clock again, he realized it was already 4 a.m.
It was already so late, yet Sheena had not returned yet.
Was the celebratory dinner taking that long?
Elijah sat on the couch, and suddenly, scenes from Sheena’s dinner flashed in his mind, an uproar where everyone encouraged Sheena and Colin to share a toast.
Elijah stood up abruptly and thought, ‘No, that can’t happen!‘
He headed for the door, but John and Sawyer intercepted him before he could reach the garden. “Mr. Freeman, it’s late. You can’t go out at this hour.”

John and Sawyer remained unfazed. “Ms. Sheena will return after she finishes her business, and Ford is there to protect her. Please be patient and wait.”
Elijah frowned, his expression icy. It might be easier to negotiate if it were Ford tonight, but John and Sawyer had never been fond of him. They did not bother saying more and simply blocked his way. Reluctantly, Elijah had to retreat and continue waiting.
The tspent waiting was often the longest and most agonizing.
During this period, Elijah pondered many things. He vaguely recalled the past three years when Sheena often called, hoping he would chfor dinner. Sometimes, he would make excuses, and at other times, he would hang up without a word, not returning hfor a few days.
The taste of waiting all night turned out to be so unbearable. He glanced at the clock on the wall, following the movement of the minute hand. Unconsciously, he drifted off to sleep on the couch.
After stime, Elijah was awakened by the sound of the door opening.
Seeing that the person coming in was indeed Sheena, Elijah’s face lit up, He stood up to greet her, You’re back! The food has gotten cold, but I’ll heat it up for you now.”
Sheena declined indifferently, “No need. I’ve already had breakfast.”

Elijah glanced at the clock on the wall and realized it was already 7 a.m., which meant Sheena had not cback all night, and he had sat on the couch waiting the entire night.
Elijah found it strange and asked, “Why didn’t you cback last night? Were you drunk? Where did you sleep? Did you spend the whole night with Colin? Did he make any advances on you?”
Sheena remained silent.

first?
She changed into slippers, saying, “Phoebe got drunk last night, so I took her back to her place. She was dizzy and vomiting all night, so I took care of her.”
Elijah was dumbfounded.
Phoebe? The trainee who made it to the finals?
Damn! So, he had to watch out for the women around her too?
Sheena rubbed her sore shoulders and was about to go upstairs when Elijah grabbed her wrist. ” Sheena, I spent nearly three hours preparing those dishes. Do you want to give it a try?”
Before he could ask if she wanted to try a little, Sheena glared at him and interrupted, “So what? I’ve already eaten. If you haven’t had breakfast, go ahead and help yourself.”
