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 broughtinto the Freeman mansion. Old Man Freeman showedkindness but didn’t trusteither. Faye falsely accusedof 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, askingto 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 toldthe last the cto 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 smeddlesome 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 sentout on a mission before. When you cto 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?”
