NovelEnglishHow could it feel like a blackout?
Chapter 1055
Elliot remained composed, having already prepared to face Sheena’s questioning
“You were exhausted last night and fell asleep in the office lounge. I went to the Lawson Group and brought you back.”
Sheena was slightly surprised. “So, I’ve been asleep all this time?”
Elliot chuckled, gently tapping her nose. “Yep, my little sleepyhead. You slept for over
ten hours.
No wonder she had a headache.
Sleeping for so long must have left her feeling dizzy and groggy.
Sheena laughed too. “Well, in that case, I should go to the Lawson Group and get myself moving. It’s strange. I don’t feel hungry even after sleeping for so long.”
Unable to stop her, Elliot did not intend to dissuade her further. “If you’re feeling unwell, just call me. Let’s leave work half an hour early tonight. I want to cook a nice meal for our first candlelit dinner since returning from abroad. It’ll be just the two of us. I’ll cpick you up.”
“Okay,” Sheena casually agreed, not noticing the implication of ‘just the two of us‘ in
his words.

By the tshe finished washing her face and putting on makeup, the pain had gradually subsided.
Elliot sat by the bedside, quietly observing her condition.
“Since it’s still early, how about eating before we head out? I made schicken soup.”
Sheena shook her head. “I’m not hungry at all, and I don’t have any appetite. I’ll probably get hungry later after walking around. I’ll grab something outside.”
“In that case, I’ll drive you to the office,” Elllot insisted, taking her hand and leading
her out without further discussion.
Seeing how willing he was to be her chauffeur, Sheena did not refuse and let him lead the way.
In the afternoon, Sheena successfully signed the contract with the project manager from Dorvell Corporation.
“Ms. Lawson, here’s to a successful partnership.”
Sheena extended her hand for a friendly handshake. “Likewise.”
As she finished up the contract signing, the red hues of the sunset outside the windows caught Sheena’s eye.
Remembering Elliot’s words from earlier, she checked the tand realized she still
had half an hour before quitting time.
Since she had promised him, she should not stand him up.
Sheena delegated the follow–up matters to her assistant and grabbed her bag before taking the elevator to the garage.
As she was about to call Elliot, she spotted their familiar luxury car parked not far
away.
Sure enough, Elliot was sitting inside.
Seeing her approach, Elliot got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side,
and opened the door for her, helping her fasten her seatbelt.
He was as thoughtful as always.
While he bent down, Sheena planted a kiss on his lips.
“If there were an award for you, it’d definitely be the Best Husband Award.”
Elliot lifted her chin with one hand, deepening the kiss. “Then you’d win the Best Wife Award.”
Sheena laughed, feeling genuinely happy from their lovely married life.
On the way back to E&S Haven, Sheena stared out the window at the receding scenery, lost in thought.
Elliot occasionally glanced at her to check her state, relieved to see her calm

At a red light, Sheena spotted a young mom pushing a stroller on the sidewalk and felt a sudden longing.
“Eli, when the babies are a bit older, let’s each push a stroller and take them out for a
walk. It would be so much fun.”
Elliot agreed, “The babies would definitely love that.”
Watching the young mom with the stroller, Sheena suddenly felt a pang of longing
for their babies.
“Strange, we only left E&S Haven at noon. It’s only been a few hours, but I already
miss the babies a bit.”
Elliot’s expression stiffened slightly. “Honey, let’s not talk about the kids tonight.
When we return, let’s focus on our ttogether and have a candlelit dinner, just the two of us, okay?”
Sheena glanced at him, puzzled by his request, but she said nothing.
Ten minutes later, the luxury car pulled into the Jenkins estate garage.
Elliot parked the car, got out first, and went to the passenger side to open the door
for her.
He then bent down and carried her out of the car.
Sheena held him tightly around the neck, asking, “Why are you being so attentive tonight? Trying to woointo bed?”
Elliot smirked. “No, not at all. Until your concussion is fully healed, I don’t plan on that. All pleasure– seeking activities should be based on your good health
