Chapter 434
Elliot gently released her from his embrace, stepped back, and slowly sank to his knees, his back straight, kneeling before her. She glanced at this familiar gesture and almost instantly understood, her eyes reddening.
“Elijah…”
It was not a question but an affirmation.
“It’s me.”
Elliot did not deliberately lower his voice. Noticing the glistening tears in her eyes, his heart ached. Overwhelmed by guilt, his eyes welled up as well.
Sheena tilted her head back, suppressing the tears that were about to fall, replacing them with a cold
expression.
“You lied to me? Clearly, you didn’t die, yet you didn’t come to find me. Instead, you deliberately wrote a sentimental farewell letter. Is it all a joke to you? Are you watching how I get deceived, how stupid I am not to see through your act?”
“No, Nana, I…”
“Shut up! Do you even have the right to call me that? Don’t you prefer calling me Ms. Lawson?”
Elliot’s heart sank. He cautiously held her small hand, saying, “I’m sorry. Last night was my mistake, and I should’ve been honest. But when I wrote that letter, I wasn’t deceiving you. I can explain!”
“Do you think I’ll believe you now? Why did you choose tonight to confess? Because you realized I didn’t believe your acting, afraid that I would expose you first. You were forced to confess because you saw that you couldn’t keep it hidden any longer, right?”
Elliot hesitated slightly. Although not entirely accurate, she had indeed guessed part of it.
Seeing his expression, Sheena confirmed her suspicions, her eyes filled with even more disdain.
“I don’t care whether you’re Elliot or Elijah. I hate it when people lie to me, especially faking death to deceive my emotions! It’s too much!”
Elliot looked at her, suppressing the urge to cry. “I didn’t deceive your emotions. Can you please listen to my explanation?”
“I don’t want to listen to anything! I never want to see you again!”
She flung his hand away and turned to leave.
“Don’t go, Nana!”

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