Chapter 664
As Sheena finished speaking, a knock on the door echoed through the room.
Lionel, sporting his previously unattractive face, went to answer it.
Nathaniel stood there, holding a bouquet of white roses, one hand leaning against the door, elegantly inhaling the fragrance of the roses.
“Nana, are you ready?”
He handed the roses over, slowly raising his gaze. However, his mood was instantly ruined upon meeting Lionel’s extremely unattractive face.
“Ugh! Why does it have to be you?” He narrowed his eyes with a sinister glare, not wanting to spare Lionel a second glance.
Observing Nathaniel’s reaction, Lionel stifled a laugh and said, “Mr. Lance, Miss is all set and ready. We can leave now.”
After speaking, Lionel took a big step to the side, clearing the line of sight.
Nathaniel immediately saw Sheena’s beautiful face.
With Lionel’s unattractive face in the same room, Sheena’s beauty was instantly elevated, and she was breathtaking.
Nathaniel’s blue eyes sparkled as he gazed at Sheena, enchanted and delighted.
“Nana, you’re truly an otherworldly beauty. Every move you make can easily intoxicate me.”
Sheena frowned, not particularly liking his intense gaze or his cheesy words.
She lowered her gaze, saying indifferently, “Let’s go. Don’t waste time.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
She bypassed Nathaniel, brushing past him, but the exquisite white roses in his hands blocked her
view.
Nathaniel handed the white roses to her.
“White roses are elegant, a perfect match for Nana.”
Sheena turned to meet his gaze, understanding the implied meaning in his words.
Under normal circumstances, she might have sarcastically retorted, questioning how a monster could decide what a perfect match for her was.
Nonetheless, she had many important tasks ahead and could not afford to anger Nathaniel for now.
With these thoughts, she accepted the roses from him, but her expression was still cold. Then, she headed toward the direction of the car without looking back.
Nathaniel had prepared himself for potential mockery but was pleasantly surprised when Sheena
silently accepted the roses. Overjoyed, he turned to Lionel, who stood motionless by the door.
“Nana accepted my flowers. Does this mean she’s starting to accept me?”
Lionel kept his head low. “Sadly, I can’t read her mind.”
Nathaniel laughed heartily, interpreting the situation as he pleased.
He immediately caught up with Sheena’s steps, and Lionel silently followed.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the palace.
Last time, Nathaniel had taken her in through the east side door. However, the grand palace gates were wide open for this banquet, and elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen chatted as they slowly. entered the palace.
The garage was filled with various luxury cars, all belonging to influential aristocrats of Laubabwe.
Nathaniel reminded Sheena in a hushed tone, “There are many people at the banquet, so you must
stick close to me. Be careful not to get lost.”
Sheena nodded gently, but her eyes discreetly scanned the crowd, searching for Harrold’s figure.
Harrold was nowhere to be seen, but Caesar approached, taking the initiative to strike up a
conversation.
“Ms. Lawson, you look wonderful tonight. This pale green dress is truly the most unique and stunning sight!”
Sheena chuckled.
Among the women present, the married ladies sought to please, and the young ladies hoped to catch the eye of a duke at the banquet. Not many chose green as not everyone could look great in the color.
Nathaniel noticed that she actually laughed.
Since their parting seven years ago, he had not seen Sheena smile at him. Yet, a casual comment from another man could easily bring out her laughter?
His displeasure was evident on his face.
“Caesar, I can’t believe you’re trying to strike up a conversation with my companion. You’re simply disrespecting me.”
