Sheena’s heart twinged with pain. If she had not witnessed it herself, she would not have felt so keenly how much Elliot had suffered for her, enduring severe injuries and pain.
Guilt, self–blame, and sadness overwhelmed her.
While Sheena’s mind was buzzing, Elliot led her away from the Jenkins family
estate.
It was not until they were in the car that she teared up.
Elliot embraced her, kissing her forehead with a tinge of remorse. “Did it scare you? It’s my fault. there’s nothing pleasant about such a bloody scene. I should’ve let Lionel take you outside.”
Sheena’s nose tingled as she buried her face in his neck, sobbing softly. “I should be the one saying sorry. I now realize how severe the whipping you endured was. I regret not offering comfort back then. I was even harsh to you. I’m truly awful.”

about that.”
What kind of twisted logic was that?
Sheena knew he was trying to cheer her up, but it did not diminish her guilt, and tears continued to shimmer in her sparkly eyes.
“It’s all in the past. My wounds healed long ago, without a trace, and it doesn’t hurt at all.”
Elliot leaned down, his cold lips patiently kissing away her tears.
“Your tears are more precious tothan any gems in the world. Stop crying, or I’ll go bankrupt.”
Sheena was successfully teased into a laugh. “You’re such a smooth talker. Where did you learn that?”
Lionel focused on driving, noticed Sheena’s gaze, and quickly defended himself, ” Ms. Sheena, it can’t possibly be me! I’ve never been in a relationship. I’m innocent!”
Fine. Since he had not been in a relationship, there was no need to make life difficult for the innocent, pure boy.

Sheena cautiously pressed her hand against his chest, feeling his heartbeat, and found the gesture rather sweet.
“Eli, letspoil you in the days to come!” She playfully smiled and leaned in to give him a gentle kiss.
Elliot closed his eyes, engaging in a passionate kiss with Sheena.

They should be considerate of his fragile heart, especially since he had never dated despite his age!
After a few minutes of intense kissing in the car, Elliot took the initiative to end it.
Sensing something amiss, Sheena touched his face and asked, “Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling cold or unwell?”
Elliot shook his head, “It’s normal to have a pale complexion just after major surgery.”
“But…”
Sheena was about to inquire further when Elliot interrupted her, “Are you heading back to the Lawson estate?”
Lionel glanced at the rearview mirror, understanding Elliot’s intention, and chimed in, “By the way, sir, there seems to be an important meeting at the Jenkins Group today that requires your attendance.”
He pretended to check the time, “We still have two hours before the meeting. Should we head over?”
Since Elliot had work–related matters to attend to, Sheena did not press further.” Fine, but I’m not returning to the Lawson estate. Please dropoff at the Angle Group building. I need to make arrangements for the upcoming opening ceremony in a couple of days.”
Lionel made a U–turn and drove to the Angle Group building. Before getting out of the car, Elliot kissed Sheena on the forehead.
“Don’t rush to leave tonight. I’ll cover to pick you up, and we can have dinner together.”
