Chapter 714
Lucy immediately cheerfully opened the passenger seat door, smiling happily as she entered.
Once their car departed, Noah stared at the retreating luxury car, obviously displeased.
He sarcastically commented, “Claiming to borrow Nana means he’ll return her to us, but we know he obviously won’t be doing so.”
Howard chuckled. “Noah, that’s unfair. Why didn’t you say that in front of Elliot just now?”
Noah shot him a cold look and replied, “Go find your girlfriend.”
After saying this, Noah turned and left.
Howard watched his receding figure, sighed helplessly, and muttered, “Your temperament is really something else. No wonder you’ve been single for so many years!”
Lionel drove to a private airport.
Sheena looked at the airport building and asked, “Eli, why did you bring me here?”
Elliot smiled without explaining,
toward the airport building.
Then, he held her small hand, interlocking their fingers, and led her
Lucy, looking clueless, was about to get out of the car, but Lionel held her back and shook his head, gesturing for her to stay put.
Lucy understood and obediently sat in the car, waiting.
Elliot led Sheena all the way up to the fourth floor. Through the glass, he pointed outside.
“Nana, look”
Sheena looked over with a puzzled expression, and through the glass, she saw a

The silhouette seemed so familiar, almost like…
Her eyes turned red, and she stared out the window in disbelief.

When the person reached the top of the stairs, he turned slowly, stood outside the aircraft, raised his
arm high, and waved in Sheena’s direction.
Although they were quite far apart, Sheena clearly saw the indulgent smile in his deep blue eyes as if silently bidding her farewell.
In shock, she did not forget to wave back at Nathaniel.
Nathaniel saw her response, contentedly looked away, and entered the cabin.
Only after the cabin door closed did Sheena turn to Elliot.
“Eli, what did you do?”
low could Nathaniel be on Elliot’s private plane?
How could he survive the shot when she obviously saw him fall…
Elliot looked at her seriously. He seemed to understand all her doubts and patiently answered each
one.
“The grievances between Nathaniel and me have been resolved. Princess Kelly withdrew the lawsuit because she received an email from Nathaniel.
“I originally planned to take him to court, provide evidence on the spot to prove your innocence. However, he didn’t want to live on as Nathaniel Nicholls or Charles Lance, so he asked me not to reveal that he was still alive.

However, this time, Elliot did not reciprocate the hug.
Sensing an unusual aura emanating from him, Sheena immediately released the ene and looked up at him.
“Eli, what’s wrong?”
He lowered his gaze, sounding rather annoyed as he replied, “I heard that in court, you could describe Nathaniel’s preferences down to the smallest detail. You really… understand him well.”
