As Sheena and Elliot chatted, Nathaniel watched from the side.
Despite a hint of a small argument, the love in their eyes was unmistakable, making their bickering seem more like the spice of life.
He could not even interject a word, feeling like he was the third wheel sitting there.
Nathaniel, with a hint of disappointment in his deep blue eyes, continued to quietly play with Adora until Sheena and Elliot's conversation ended.
He finally spoke, "Mr. Jenkins, if you're still concerned, I can take Asher to the largest children's hospital in Svelton for a comprehensive examination. This way, you can't say I didn't do my best to care for them."
"No need," Sheena chimed in, "Asher is still too young for a full examination. Elliot was just trying him out, not because he didn't trust you."
Since they chose Nathaniel to take care of Asher, Sheena and Elliot undoubtedly trusted him.
"Elliot and I are only staying at E&S Haven for one day, and we've booked our flight to Farlem tomorrow. We'll probably be there for two days, so we'll have to trouble you again," Sheena said.
Nathaniel, still gentlemanly and calm, replied, "Sure. Don't worry about it."
…
The next day, Noah and Hannah had already taken the early morning flight back to Farlem to share the news with the Moore family and make some preparations ahead of time.
Sheena and Elliot did not depart until noon.
Looking at the white clouds outside the airplane window, Sheena could not help but feel sentimental.
"Noah is finally getting married. Howard and Phoebe's relationship is going great. Lionel and Jacintha will be formally engaged in a few days. Most of our loved ones are getting out of the single life. It's great."
Elliot tightened his embrace around her slender waist, burying his head in her neck and taking a deep breath, agreeing.
"Life is indeed getting better, and we have more to look forward to. But Nana, when do you plan to have a wedding with me?"
As lovers, he could not help but think their lives would feel incomplete if they did not have a grand wedding.
Sheena replied, "Didn't we agree that once Asher and Adora are a little older, they can be the flower children who help me carry the train of my wedding dress? That would be so nice."

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