Chapter 369
Elijah looked up at her, smiling to please.
Sheena gave him a disdainful glare, thinking he truly deserved a good beating. She could not let him
off without making him cry for mercy, or she would not be able to swallow her pride!
She showed her hand, saying, “Belt.”
Elijah did not hesitate, immediately undoing the metal buckle and obediently handing it over. Then, he
turned around, presenting his back to her.
Folding the belt in half, Sheena’s gaze turned fierce as she raised it high, ready to lash out at the
already wounded back. However, before the belt could swing, she fixated on the palm- sized burn on
his back.
The vividly red, gruesome wound was too conspicuous to ignore. Moreover, this injury was sustained
while shielding her. Otherwise, the damage might have been to her face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking about this, Sheena’s emotions became complicated. Her wrist seemed to be restrained by an
inexplicable force, preventing her from swinging the belt no matter how hard she tried.

She sighed silently, feeling a little exasperated.
How could she start feeling sorry for him?
This feeling irked her. The three years in the Freeman family were like hell, devoid of any. warmth and
love. Despite Elijah’s changes and sincerity after their divorce, she could not deny that she was
touched. However, she was determined not to tread the old path again.
Constantly dwelling on him and their past would only end up hurting her!
Sheena clenched the belt tightly, her grip trembling. Grinding her teeth, she mustered strength and
swung the belt with determination.
A crisp sound echoed.
Sheena avoided the middle of Elijah’s back, leaving a deep red welt, two fingers wide, on his
smooth skin.
Elijah remained motionless, making no sound, not even frowning from the pain.
Other than his muscles instinctively tensing, he seemed oblivious to pain.
Sheena stared at the red mark she had just added, glancing at the blurry wound in the middle of his
back, which pained her. Suddenly, her heart became chaotic, and she found herself unable to swing
the belt for a second time, no matter how hard she tried.
“Put on your clothes and get out!” She kicked his shoulder, tossing the belt back to him. Hurry up, I’m
tired. I’ll deal with you tomorrow.”
She finished speaking and lifted the blanket, curling up with her back to Elijah.
Caught off guard by her sudden kick, Elijah staggered slightly. He calmly fastened the belt, then
retrieved his shirt and suit jacket from the make-up table. Since the bandages were removed, he held
them in his hand to avoid dirtying the clothes.

Turning around, he noticed Sheena lying on the bed with her back to him, still wearing her outer coat. It
did not look like she was ready to sleep.
“Sheena, you’re still wearing your coat. It’s not comfortable sleeping like that.”
Sheena gritted her teeth and muttered, “I’m fine with it. Just get out!”
Elijah remained unmoved, standing at the foot of her bed, and staring at her.
Sensing his gaze, Sheena felt a surge of anger. She sat up abruptly, her small face puffed up, and
grabbed a nearby pillow, hurling it at Elijah.
“Out!”
Elijah caught it steadily, placing it on the make-up table for her.
Undeterred, Sheena grabbed another pillow and tossed it his way.
Elijah caught that one too, his face adorned with a gentle smile.
Sheena was genuinely angry, grabbing whatever she could find on her nightstand-tissue boxes,
decorations, books…
