Chapter 257

Elijah was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to reject him so decisively.

Sheena spoke firmly, “My life was ruined from the day Old Man Freeman brought me into the Freeman

mansion. Old Man Freeman showed me kindness but didn’t trust me either. Faye falsely accused me of

stealing jewelry, and Wilfred sided with her. Old Man Freeman didn’t say a word. Although I don’t

harbor resentment toward him for that incident, asking me to celebrate the day I entered the Freeman

mansion is absolutely impossible!”

Her gaze was icy to the core.

It had been long since Elijah had seen her look at him with such eyes. Panicking, he apologized, “I’m

sorry, I didn’t know it was like this…”

Sheena did not direct her anger toward him. “You were probably busy with work at the Freeman Group

then. Not knowing is understandable, but there’s no need for this dinner.”

As she spoke, Sheena checked the time; it was already late. After instructing Ford to take care of

Elijah, she turned to leave.

Elijah quickly grabbed her hand, asking, “Sheena, do you know that Colin is going to propose to you

tonight?”

Sheena was unsurprised but still questioned, “How do you know?”

Elijah explained, “He told me the last time he came to the Freeman Group looking for you. I think he’s

too soft–hearted. He might be a good friend but not a good husband, and being with him will make you

sad!”

Sheena shared Elijah’s opinion on this matter. Colin’s gentle nature extended not only to one person

but everyone. However, hearing this reminder from Elijah felt ironic.

“Whether he is a good husband remains uncertain, but you certainly aren’t one. So, what right do you

have to say these things?”

Elijah’s face turned pale. After a long pause, he looked back at her and said, “As your ex–husband, I

failed in my duties and hurt you. I’m sorry.”

Sheena released his tightly gripped hand. “No need to apologize. Once this one–year agreement is

fulfilled, there will be no mutual obligations between us. We’ll be like two parallel lines that never cross.”

Elijah’s face grew increasingly paler. He watched helplessly as she freed herself and left the mansion,

wondering if Sheena actually had feelings for Colin.

Colin reserved an entire floor for the rooftop restaurant in Farlem’s well–known D’Avella Hotel. He

adorned the entire space with 9,999 red roses and secretly hid the ring box within the birthday cake,

A long table displayed exquisite gifts, each representing compensation for every birthday and holiday

he had missed during the six years apart from Sheena.

Colin meticulously checked every little surprise, ensuring there were no issues. He straightened his tie,

intending to practice how to express himself. This marked his third confession to Sheena since coming

to Farlem for her. The previous two attempts were either too hasty or sabotaged by some meddlesome

individuals.

This time, he was determined to succeed!

Lost in his thoughts, Colin suddenly noticed a bodyguard in a suit approaching.

“Hello, Mr. Upton. I am Ms. Sheena’s bodyguard.”

“Why haven’t I seen you before?”

Logan smiled and said, “I’m John. Ms. Sheena sent me out on a mission before. When you came to

Ocean Avenue last time, Sawyer and Owen escorted you back.”

“Ah, I see.” Colin returned the smile.

Seeing the young man’s friendly appearance, Colin did not doubt him. Given Sheena’s preference for

good looks, he figured even her bodyguards would be handsome.

Logan continued, “Yes, Mr. Upton. Ms. Sheena said she has prepared a surprise birthday gift for you

and would like you to go to the rooftop to see it.”

Hearing that Sheena had prepared a gift for him, Colin was delighted. “Alright, that’s so thoughtful

of her.”

Colin followed Logan, and the two bodyguards accompanying him tried to follow.

Logan noticed and questioned, “Ms. Sheena is waiting alone on the rooftop for you, Mr. Upton. Do you

really need to bring bodyguards to dampen her surprise?”
