Corey came?
The atmosphere in the bedroom almost instantly became chilly.
Sheena hardly needed to think about it, saying, “Just tell him I’m asleep. I have no time to see him, and I don’t want to see him. Tell him not to come again.”
“Yes, miss.”
Ford left quickly.
Sensing his little sweetheart’s mood, Elliot pulled her close, kissed her, and comforted her.
Before he was even done kissing Sheena, Ford knocked on the door again, sounding even more urgent
than before.
“Miss, I relayed your message, but Mr. Corey still won’t leave. He’s standing outside the front gate in the rain. If you don’t see him, he’ll probably stay out there all night.”
Ford sounded helpless too.
Elliot glanced at the rain pouring outside and suggested, “Should we see him? The spring rain is chilling to the bones. If he stays out there all night, he’ll probably catch a cold tomorrow.”
Sheena did not say anything.

After a long silence, she finally said, “He’s trying to make me feel sorry for him, trying to force me to compromise by doing this. Well, it’s not going to happen. If he’s willing to stand in the rain, let him

“Yes, miss.”
After that, Ford did not come upstairs anymore.
Elliot looked at Sheena’s grim expression and thought about Corey outside. He sighed silently, wanting to go and hold her slender waist to sleep. However, Sheena pushed his hand away coldly.
Was she taking out her anger on him?
Elliot was exasperated.
He was innocent!
“Nana, are you mad at me again?”
Sheena did not look at Elliot, her tone heavy as she said, “Corey knew about all the things Sheila did to harm me, yet he did nothing and helped her hide it from me. I can’t tolerate his mistake. You know me so well, so why would you still speak up for him?”
Elliot lowered his long lashes and gently poked her shoulder, earnestly explaining, “It’s because I

understand you that I know you’re just angry with him. You can’t accept his actions, which you see as betrayal. However, you’ve loved and respected him for over twenty years, and it’s equally unbearable
for you to avoid and push him away. I just… don’t want to see you suffer. Nana, if he truly realizes his mistake and sincerely repents, would you still refuse to forgive him?”
Sheena fell into silence again.
Suddenly, the loud thunderclap broke her train of thought.
She lay down with her back to Elliot, speaking in a detached tone, “When I was fifteen, Sheila pushed me into the water. If it weren’t for luck, I might not be here now. I can’t forget that. At least for now, I don’t see any genuine remorse from him.”
Elliot heard from her words that there might still be room for redemption in this matter, depending on Corey’s actions.
He followed her into the blankets, wrapping his arms around her from behind, his magnetic voice saying in her ear, “Then let’s just watch quietly and see what Corey will do.”
Sheena closed her eyes to sleep, offering no further response.
Soon, the two fell asleep in each other’s embrace.

from sleeping soundly through the night.
In the morning, the rain had stopped.
Sheena woke up to the occasional sunlight shining in. Then, she quietly slipped out of bed and stepped barefoot onto the plush carpet.
She walked to the window, drew back the curtains, and looked at the garden entrance at E&S Haven. Through the iron gate; she could see Corey still standing there.
