left speechless, encountering such shamelessness for the first time. Sheena, on the other hand, found the situation utterly amusing.
Spoiled and used to having her way at home, Gabrielle never expected to face defeat at the hands of Elijah so soon.
“Nana…” Gabrielle pouted, looking at Sheena with her puppy eyes, torn between continuing her complaints and fearing a man better at acting than her.
Sheena’s expression turned serious as she locked eyes with Gabrielle, saying, ” Gabrielle, he’s right. He only listens to me. You live in my house and enjoy my hospitality, and yet you think you can lay hands on my people? Isn’t that crossing a line?”
Gabrielle was left dumbfounded.
Sheena continued, “This isn’t the Nicholls family. While I treat you like a sister, I won’t pamper you endlessly.”
“Nana…” Gabrielle protested.
“I’m heading to Svelton tomorrow. I’ll buy you a plane ticket, and you’re leaving with me.”
“What! Tomorrow? I haven’t even had enough fun here for three days! Nana!”
Sheena ignored her whining.
What else could she do?
If Sheena did not Gabrielle back to the Nicholls family, Gabrielle would be left alone with Elijah in Ocean Avenue for two days!
“You’ve had enough fun the past few days, and it’s time for you to go back,” Sheena said as she nudged Gabrielle’s shoulder, feeling slightly annoyed. “Go upstairs, change into decent clothes, and then come down. Why are you wearing a nightgown? Who are you trying to seduce?”
Gabrielle pouted and reluctantly headed upstairs.
Once she was gone, Sheena turned to Elijah, who seemed quite pleased.
Sheena glared at him and mocked, “Do you think she looks great in the nightgown?”
Elijah surrendered, raising his hands. “I’m innocent! I didn’t even notice the

color she was wearing. Besides, I think you have the best figure, and I only enjoy looking at you.”
Sheena disliked hearing such cheesy words and changed the topic. “Do you find competing with a twenty–year–old girl fun?” Then, she pointed to the shattered glass on the floor and added, “You broke my glass, so you have to pay for it.”
Elijah gazed at her affectionately. “Alright, I’ll compensate ten times the value of it. Is that enough?”
“Barely.”
Sheena raised an eyebrow, looking arrogant.
Elijah was captivated by her beautiful smile, and there was an impulse to pull her into his arms and never let
However, he… might not have that chance.
After breakfast, Sheena took a day off, staying at home and organizing her plans for the trip to Svelton the next day. She sat on the living room sofa, watching a drama on TV while handling her phone to arrange affairs.
Having washed the fruits, Elijah sat on the nearby small sofa, quietly peeling apples for her. Meanwhile, Gabrielle dragged Ford and a few other bodyguards to play on the swings in the yard.
The peaceful day passed by quickly.
The next day, Sheena and Gabrielle packed their luggage. Elijah willingly helped Sheena carry her suitcase downstairs while Paul managed Gabrielle’s luggage.
Howard, feeling uneasy, insisted on going to Svelton as well, arranging to meet at the airport.
