Chapter 553
Sheena remained silent, her expression serious, still visibly concerned,
Elliot added, “I’ve been resting at home for almost half a month. If I stay Indoors any longer, it might
raise suspicions.”
Sheena reluctantly conceded, “Fine, but no drinking at the party. You can only have juice. If I catch you
secretly drinking and hiding it from me, you’ll face my wrath!”
She huffed a couple of times, glaring at him with her cute face.
She was like a little wildcat extending its claws, capable of teasing and irresistibly tickling one’s heart.
Elliot’s slender fingers slid into her silky black hair, gently cradling the back of her head. Leaning in, he
kissed her with his soft lips.
After the lingering kiss, he smirked, savoring the moment. “No juice or fine wine can compare to my
Nana’s sweetness.”
Sheena helped him put on the mask and playfully shoved his shoulder with a pout. “Smooth talker!”

mansion together.
Katie’s birthday party officially began at 7 p.m., and Sheena and Elliot arrived half an hour early.
When they entered, there were relatively few guests around.
Seeing the couple walking hand in hand, Katie discreetly rolled her eyes and feigned enthusiasm as
she approached.
“Ms. Lawson, Mr. Jenkins, you’re here early.”
Sheena merely smiled faintly, not bothering to respond.
Elliot, on the other hand, did not spare Katie a glance. With deep, aloof eyes beneath the mask, he
exuded a mysterious aura.
Feeling ignored, Katie grew a bit irritated and dropped the act, turning away to chat with some familiar
socialites.
Sitting alone and drinking quietly not far away, Colin perked up upon noticing Sheena’s arrival.
However, she behaved as if she had not seen him, exchanging pleasantries with his parents, Ron and
Nicole, and playfully engaging with Elliot.
Feeling increasingly frustrated, he decided to approach her, attempting to strike up a conversation.
“Sheena, it’s been a while. How have you been lately?”
Sheena’s expression remained calm, her voice distant as she replied, “Mr. Upton, there’s no need for
formalities. I’m doing well.”

Colin felt quite disheartened. “You won’t even call me Colin now? Why do things suddenly feel so
distant between us?”
Sheena frowned, finding Colin’s words implying a closeness that did not exist,
Was he intentionally trying to provoke Elliot?
As expected, Elliot’s mood worsened, and his gaze turned sharp and menacing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeizing the moment before he erupted, Sheena straightened his collar, intimately running her fingertips
along the back of his neck.
She addressed Colin, “Mr. Upton, I believe there’s a misunderstanding. You and I have always been
just friends, and we’ve never been that close. Besides, my fiance here can be quite a jealous person,
so please refrain from saying things that might give him the wrong impression.”
With Sheena’s soothing words, Elliot’s expression returned to normal, his hand wrapping around her
slender waist.
Colin was disheartened.
Dealing with Elijah was already a formidable task, but now he had to contend with Elliot, who proved
even more challenging. Moreover, Sheena seemed to have fallen for Elliot in this short time, even
choosing to move in and live with him.
Colin believed he was the most suitable partner for her since he had loved Sheena for over a decade.
He simply could not accept the fact that he had no chance to pursue her.
“Sheena, I have a few things I’d like to discuss with you privately. I promise not to bother you afterward.
Can we, for the sake of our friendship?”
Sheena immediately rejected the request without much thought.
“Mr. Upton, you should know that Elliot and I were in the news recently, hailed as the sweetest couple.
Today, Ms. Upton’s party has invited several celebrities, and I presume the media will be present too.”
