Chapter 359
The standoff between the two men continued for several minutes.
Sheena, caught in the middle, glanced at each of them. She found it amusing that Elijah seemed to
have a slightly superior aura now, as he was no longer under the influence of the modified 023, and his
gaze was colder than before.
Sheena cleared her throat, trying to redirect their attention.
Then, she signaled Nathaniel to look toward the dining room, her voice soft and sweet as she said,
Nate, look at the dishes I’ve prepared for you. I even have two bottles of fine wine. We haven’t had a
proper drink together in a while. Let’s make it memorable tonight.”
“Sounds good.” Nathaniel withdrew his intense gaze from Elijah, looking at Sheena tenderly.
They walked together to the dining room and took their seats.
“Nana, your cooking is amazing. The aroma is so tempting. I wasn’t very hungry, but now that I smell
the food, it has worked up my appetite,” Nathaniel complimented.
“As long as you like it, Nate,” Sheena replied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElijah still stood on the staircase, observing their interaction. Despite Sheena informing him of tonight’s
plan earlier, witnessing her joyful demeanor and sweetly calling Nathaniel by his nickname tugged at
his heart.
When would he ever receive such treatment?

The two in the dining room continued their cheerful conversation, oblivious to Elijah’s discomfort. At the
dining table, Sheena pursed her lips and smiled, reaching for the wine bottle to serve Nathaniel.
Nathaniel declined and said, “Since you have a servant here, let him do his job. There’s no need to
trouble yourself pouring wine for me.”
Sheena was caught off guard but quickly recovered her smile. She placed the wine bottle down and
looked toward the direction of the staircase.
“Elijah, come here.”
Nathaniel smiled triumphantly, sitting upright with a posture that seemed habitual over the years, and
waited for Elijah to come and pour the wine.
Seeing Elijah indeed walking toward them, Nathaniel glanced at Sheena’s face, his tone slightly
surprised.
“Nana, there’s something on your face. Let me help you wipe it off.”
Sheena remained still as Nathaniel’s affectionate gaze and gentle hands reached toward her small
face. However, his wrist was firmly gripped before he could even touch her.

Elijah’s expression darkened, and through gritted teeth, he uttered, “Mr. Nicholls, mind your
boundaries. Keep your hands off where they don’t belong.”
Nathaniel met Elijah’s gaze, smirking. “I decide what I want to do. Your opinion doesn’t matter.”
As Nathaniel’s tone grew more intense toward the end, he made a motion to shake off Elijah’s grip.
Elijah tightened his hold, a fierce glint in his eyes.
Nathaniel tried twice to break free but could not succeed, growing visibly annoyed. “Nana, look at how
he treats his master. He’s simply too arrogant! Such an untamed watchdog should be put down early!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSheena was about to speak when Elijah coldly retorted, “Sheena’s my only master. Who do you think
you are?”
They glared at each other again, and a silent power struggle ensued as the two hands remained before
Sheena.
The tension in the room grew palpable.
Sheena sighed, massaging her temples.
Why did it always turn into a battlefield whenever Elijah was around?
She cleared her throat loudly, shooting Elijah a warning glare.
“That’s enough. Let go,” she commanded.
Following her order, Elijah released his grip. However, he stood firm between the two, a vigilant
presence, like moving surveillance, ensuring Nathaniel did not make any inappropriate moves.
Nathaniel took a tissue from his pocket, elegantly wiping his sleeve, and then expressed his irritation,
“Nana, I think dinner tonight won’t go well as long as someone is present.”
