Chapter 472
Sheena decisively shook her head. “No, I’m not used to sleeping with another person at night.”
“Habits can be changed. Give it two nights and you’ll get used to it,” Elliot suggested confidently.
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re scheming. It’s a no, and that’s final!” Sheena stuck out her tongue
at him, determined not to fall into his trap.
Her provocative stance successfully ignited a flame in Elliot. He simply scooped her up, carrying her on
his shoulder. His other hand held her legs, preventing her from wriggling free.
With a wicked smirk, he remarked, “You’re the one who started the fire today, so it’s not negotiable. You
have to be responsible for extinguishing it.”
“Elliot! Put me down!”
With her legs restricted, Sheena could only wave her hands behind him, making menacing gestures.
However, she refrained from hitting his back too hard, fearing she might hurt him considering his
injuries.

she delivered a series of vigorous punches.
“You’re bullying me! I’ll beat you to death! Let go of me, release me!”
Elliot, irritated by the pounding on his bottom, finally had enough. Without retaliating, he just roared
lowly, “Sheena Lawson!”
It was the first time he used her full name like that.
Sheena, caught off guard, took a moment to process what had just happened.
The playful scuffle came to an abrupt end when a ringtone sounded.
It was Sheena’s phone.
With a sigh, Elliot reluctantly placed her back on the couch and gestured to her to answer the call.
After catching her breath, she asked, “Dad, what’s up?”
“Sweetheart, is Elliot recovering well?”
“Yes.”
“This is Corey’s fault. Since Elliot’s getting better, how about you take him to the Lawson estate tonight
for a family dinner?”
Considering they were already engaged, Elliot had not accompanied her to the Lawson estate in a
formal manner, and Albert had not seen much of him either.
Sheena pondered for a moment, feeling it might be a good idea.

“Okay, Dad, got it. We’ll be there for dinner on time tonight.”
“Alright, sweetheart…“.
After a brief chat with Albert, he ended the call. The living room returned to silence.
Sheena gazed at her phone, keeping her head down without looking at the man standing before her.

Unable to see her expression, Elliot felt puzzled. He crouched beside her and unexpectedly noticed her
eyes were reddened, teardrops shimmering like fleeting stars in the night sky.
The sight of those tears touched Elliot’s heart.
He could not stand seeing her upset and softened his tone instantly. “What’s wrong?”
Sheena pouted and turned her face away, refusing to look at him.
“You yelled at me.”
“I didn’t.”
Sheena felt even more aggrieved.
Today’s events made her realize that Elliot was a domineering and proud man. Despite his usual
accommodation, she could not physically overpower him when they really argued. Hence, she did not
know what he might do if she truly angered him, creating an unknown fear for her.
She could not allow Elliot to suppress her, and she refused to be his soft and delicate little darling
forever.
She needed to assert herself and overthrow any notion of him controlling her!
It seemed the little surprise she had planned for Elliot would need to be revealed sooner. She had to
find an opportunity to temper his arrogance and establish her authority firmly.
