Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Albert gave all the mansion staff a day off due to the festive. After the chef prepared dinner, they would also leave to celebrate the New Year with their families.

Therefore, tasks like setting off fireworks were done by themselves.

The deafening sound of fireworks echoed for a long time, filling the entire mansion with a joyous atmosphere.

During dinner, the table was unusually quiet. Though everyone had smiles on their faces, it seemed like their thoughts were elsewhere, contemplating their own matters.

Sheena cleared her throat, prompting Elliot to gracefully put down the spoon he was using to sip his

soup.

He elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin, breaking the silence.

“Uncle Albert, besides accompanying Nana back for dinner today, there’s another important announcement I’d like to share with everyone.”

Hearing him reach the end of his sentence, Sheena instinctively tightened her grip on her spoon, stealing a glance in Corey’s direction.

However, Corey appeared deep in thought, seemingly preoccupied with something else.

The air became eerily quiet, with only the crisp sounds of utensils echoing through the room.

With a serious expression, Elliot continued, “Nana is pregnant, and she’s about seven weeks in. We’re having twins. Originally, we planned to announce it later, but considering everyone present is family, we

thought it would be nice to share the joy on New Year’s Eve.”

After he finished speaking, Albert and Barbara were pleasantly surprised, while Lauren wore a shocked and envious expression, gazing at Sheena’s belly.

Noah, who had known about it a few days earlier, showed no extra emotions.

Howard, nervously swallowing his soup, glanced in Corey’s direction. ‘He had learned about the good news a day earlier from Sheena. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Among them, Corey had the biggest reaction.

He forcefully slammed his utensils on the table, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

The sudden loud noise startled Sheena, who was already uneasy.

She covered her face awkwardly, and Elliot immediately pulled her into his arms, patting and soothing her.

“Is it true?” Corey gritted his teeth, staring fixedly at Sheena in Elliot’s embrace. “Sheena, what about the promise you made to me? What is this?”

Albert cleared his throat, regaining control of the situation.

Barbara blushed, embarrassed, and lowered her head.

Corey remained silent. After all, he could not confront Sheena in front of Albert.

After lecturing him, Albert turned to Noah and Howard.

“And you two… When are you getting married? A bunch of unreliable boys!”

The brothers kept their heads down, continuing to eat in silence.

Nosh, never intending to pursue a romantic relationship, maintained a cold expression without much

reaction.

Howard barely spoke to Albert due to the strained relationship with Albert over his engagement to Katie. Moreover, the Nicholls family had postponed the announcement of Phoebe’s identity until after the New Year.

Thus, Howard planned to wait until after the announcement and make amends with Albert. Then, he would ask Albert to propose the engagement arrangement to the Nicholls family.

At the dining table, everyone harbored their own thoughts.

In the silent atmosphere, Elliot looked at Albert and continued, “Uncle Albert, I want to wait until after the New Year to register our marriage. We’ll plan the wedding right after, and as for the pregnancy, we’ll reveal it at a suitable time after the wedding.”

“Hmm… It is indeed time to think about your wedding, but scheduling it right after the New Year is a bit hasty, isn’t it?”

Under the table, Elliot squeezed Sheena’s hand, locking eyes with her, but his words were directed at Albert.

“Uncle Albert, rest assured. During this time, I’ll focus all my energy.on preparing for the wedding. It’s not because of the pressure of the pregnancy, but a decision made with careful consideration. I want to

give Nana the best wedding!”

Pleased Albert said, “Since that’s the case, then…”

“I disagree.”

Before he could finish his sentence, a sharp voice from the side interrupted.
