Elijah clenched his chest, feeling an uncomfortable tightness. Lionel’s words hit him hard.
“You’ve been getting more and more out of control lately, acting without my orders. Moreover, it seems like you think quite highly of Nathaniel?”
Elijah emanated an intense hostility. He coldly pushed Lionel away and weakly continued walking ahead.
Realizing he had made a mistake, Lionel paled, regretfully patting his mouth. He blamed himself for never being in love and not knowing how to comfort people. He hurriedly caught up with Elijah, continuing to support him and explain.
“Mr. Freeman, you’ve got it all wrong! I came with John because I was genuinely concerned. about you. And about Mr. Nicholls… No! Nathaniel! How could I possibly favor him? I believe
you, Mr. Freeman.”

Then, he whispered to Elijah, “Despite Ms. Sheena always teasing you, it’s just tough love. She treats you differently from others. Maybe one day, you’ll win her over.”
At least that was a somewhat comforting statement, and Elijah felt a bit better.
Lionel chuckled. However, he noticed the deep red marks on Elijah’s left cheek and could not help but mutter, “But Ms. Sheena sure went hard this time.”
Elijah rubbed his face, still feeling a lingering pain. The thought of Sheena and Nathaniel having a meal together bothered him, and his mood soured quickly.
“Assign two people to follow them and find out what they talk about.”
Lionel’s expression turned horrified. “Mr. Freeman, have mercy on us! Nathaniel is the head of the Special Investigation Department, and his team is top–notch in anti–surveillance and counterintelligence. If they catch wind of it, Ms. Sheena will know. It’s a risky move, and she might misunderstand you again. Can’t we just return to the mansion and wait for her?”
Elijah remained expressionless.
Lionel sighed at how stubborn Elijah was, becoming a fool in matters of the heart.
After some consideration, Elijah reluctantly compromised and asked, “Do any of the guys. have rich romantic experiences?”
Lionel thought hard and replied, “It seems only Lance is in a relationship, but he’s not in Farlem; he’s in Svelton.”
“Lance?”
Elijah was surprised and asked, “He’s the youngest among all, and he’s already been in a relationship?”
Lionel chuckled. “Mr. Freeman, this might shock you, but Lance has high emotional intelligence and a head full of ideas despite his young age. I heard he has his wife wrapped around his finger.”
Elijah fell silent, and he was deep in thought. Soon, he said, “When his tasks on that side are done, have him come to Farlem to meet me alone.”

“Yes, Mr. Freeman.”
Nathaniel arranged for a well–decorated French restaurant, playing the perfect gentleman as. he pulled out Sheena’s chair and took the initiative to order dishes for her.
Sheena’s expression remained calm as she elegantly took a sip of water.
Nathaniel stared at her intently, blue eyes shimmering with specks of light. “I remember you like a quiet dining environment and your taste. Please let me know if anything is lacking.”
