Chapter 474
Barbara was waiting for them at the front door.
When they arrived, Sheena naturally let go of Elliot and affectionately walked up to Barbara. Although the warmth of Sheena’s hand had suddenly disappeared from Elliot’s palm, its lingering touch had not completely faded.
Unexpectedly, ElHot felt a moment of dizziness and a brief ringing in his ears. His legs almost gave way, but he managed to steady himself, taking a deep breath to suppress the suffocating feeling.
What was this strange sensation in his body?

Barbara sat next to Corey, and Sheena and Elliot sat together.

Noah and Howard were back today, and if Howard brought Katie along, the family would be complete, “he said, his words adding a touch of gravity to the atmosphere in the dining room.
“Unfortunately, Noah has a peculiar temper. Until now, he hasn’t settled down. I think I’ll have to intervene and find him a suitable match,” Albert sighed, reflecting on the passing years as he began to enjoy his meal.
The others followed suit and began eating.
Sheena, however had not touched her food. She looked at Albert and said, “Dad, maybe you
