Chapter 1056
“So thoughtful?” Sheena eyed him skeptically, studying his handsome face. “Honey, you have a high libido, and you’d never say no to sex. That’s quite unlike you.”
Elliot pecked her ruby lips and said, “Nothing matters more than your health, Nana.”
She pressed closer to his ear, her voice velvety soft as she whispered, “But I’m almost recovered, and the concussion won’t affect us in bed. It’s going to be our first time being intimate since we returned from abroad. Are you sure you don’t want it?”
Sheena’s warm breath tickled his sensitive earlobe, causing Elliot to shiver slightly.
His Adam’s apple bobbed, but he remained composed.
Mischievously, Sheena tugged at his expensive tie, teasing, “We’re having a candlelit dinner tonight. Are you sure you want to waste such a romantic setting?”
Elliot nodded. “Honey, please stop teasing me. You know I have zero resistance
against you.”
Sheena relented and withdrew her hand, tucking his tie back into his suit collar.
She obediently settled into his embrace as he carried her into the house.
Elliot sat her on the couch and served a tray of fruits and snacks in front of her.
“I’ve already prepared dinner. I just need to heat the dishes. Stay here and wait for
me, okay?”
Sheena nodded, but she could not shake the feeling that something was off about
his behavior.
Why would he not let her leave the couch?
She felt uneasy.
Thinking of the babies on the fourth floor, Sheena went upstairs to check on them,
while Elliot prepared the dishes.

Opening the nursery door, she found the baby cribs empty.
Neither the babies nor Freida were there.
Sheena stared at the empty room in shock, and a sudden panic overwhelmed her.
She quickly ran downstairs to the kitchen and shouted, “Honey, Asher and Adora are
missing! Something must have happened!”
Elliot stopped cooking and sighed silently, not expecting her to notice so soon.
Sheena was as sharp as ever.
Facing her impending loss of control, he steadied her shoulders with his palms, explaining calmly, “The babies are fine. They’re not missing. Don’t be afraid.”
“You knew? Did you hide the babies?” Her chest heaved as she stared at him in
disbelief. “Elliot, did you send the babies away so we could have some alone time? What are you trying to do?”
Elliot reassured her repeatedly, gently stroking her back to soothe her restless
emotions.
“Grandpa really misses Asher and Adora. He’s getting older and has trouble moving
around. The Jenkins estate is too big, and it’s inconvenient for him to walk all the
way from his mansion to E&S Haven. So, I sent Asher and Adora, along with Auntie
Freida, to stay with Grandpa for a few days. Nana, rest assured, I’ve arranged for extra guards to protect Grandpa’s mansion. Asher and Adora will be safe. Don’t
worry.”
With his explanation, Sheena’s rationality gradually returned.
After all, it was natural for the elderly to miss their grandchildren, and Sheena could
not possibly demand the babies back, especially since it was not a big deal to begin
with.
Even so, she still could not shake off the feeling that something was off.
“Was it really because Grandpa missed Asher and Adora that you sent them and
Auntie Freida over?”
Elliot kissed her forehead. “Yes. We’ll bring them back in a few days, Nana. Don’t
worry.”
With that, Sheena did not press further.
“Alright. Let’s get cooking. I’m starving.”
Together, they busied themselves in the kitchen, finishing up the last few dishes and setting the table.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
