Chapter 413
Sheena considered her words flawless and spot on. Being a prestigious,
traditional family like the Jenkins, and with Elliot now in charge, they were likely superstitious and into
astrological beliefs.
Sheena presented herself with genuine sincerity, patiently awaiting Elliot’s
response.
Seated behind the chair, Elliot wiped away the coffee stain from his thin lips, regaining his composed
and dignified demeanor. “Ms. Lawson, in fact, ant astrologer also assessed my fate. He mentioned that
I have a full life and a great fate, specializing in overcoming troubles related to spousal misfortune. It
seems we are a perfect match.”
Sheena found herself momentarily speechless.
While she maintained a smile on her face, inwardly, her anger surged.
Was there a polite way to express her frustration?
She bit her lip and responded with feigned sweetness, “Well, what a coincidence!”
Elliot subtly nodded and abandoned his coffee, unwilling to take another sip.
Sheena, refusing to leave empty–handed, intensified her lies. “There’s another thing my dad surely
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtkept from you. After having wild sex with my ex–husband, I had a mishap and ended up in the hospital.
The doctor said my health was too fragile, making me infertile. I can’t have children for the rest of my
life, and my ex–husband divorced me because he thought I couldn’t conceive.”
Elliot, facing away from her, took a deep breath in relief. He was glad he had not continued drinking
coffee or suffered from heart disease. Otherwise, he would have had a heart attack on the spot.
Still narrating with theatrical flair, Sheena expressed regret, “As the head of the Jenkins family,
ensuring the family’s lineage is undoubtedly crucial.
Unfortunately, I can’t contribute to that aspect. So, let’s cancel this engagement. I wouldn’t want to
bring any misfortune to the Jenkins family. It’s a matter of conscience.”
Not only did she have an unfavorable destiny, but she was also infertile, and she hinted at disharmony
in intimate relations. She figured Elliot must have some objections now.
After a long pause, Elliot responded in his hoarse voice, “I’m not fond of children, Ms. Lawson. We’ll not
have any if you don’t wish to have them. Besides,
I have a busy schedule. If you’re not into intimate relations… we don’t have to.”
Sheena was stunned.
Could he really tolerate all of this?
After all, the Jenkins family was not solely dependent on her. Why would he subject himself to such
troubles?
Sheena ground her teeth, attempting to maintain a steady tone as she asked, ” Mr. Jenkins, it seems
like you’re supportive of this marriage arrangement. Is this engagement entirely Mr. Santiago Jenkins’s
decision, or were you actually interested in me?”
Elliot replied, “Grandpa made the decision, and I had no objections.”
Well, someone was quite obedient to their elders.
A grandpa’s boy?
If your grandpa told you to eat dirt, would you do it?
Sheena simmered with frustration. After holding it back for so long, she had finally reached her limit.
She felt an intense dislike for Elliot!
He had made a horrible first impression of himself!
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Sheena decided to forgo further small talk. She stood up, smoothed the
creases in her pencil skirt, and adopted a firm tone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Jenkins, truth be told, I’ve already got someone I like. I’m not satisfied with this engagement, and I
believe you wouldn’t want to marry someone with a wandering heart. Anyway, I’ll break off this
engagement sooner or later. If you can help me with Grandpa Jenkins, consider it a favor owed. We
can be friends in the future.‘
With that, she walked away without looking back.
Elliot never turned around.
Sheena’s remark about having someone she liked pierced through him like a sharp knife. His gaze
gradually dimmed, and his once striking face lost its color.
Sheena descended the stairs, leaving Elliot’s yard without a second glance. As she approached the
gate, she caught a fleeting figure rushing past from the corner of her eyes, disappearing through the
back door in a hurry.
Wait a minute…
