When they came back, Elliot hurriedly handed Sheena the skewer he had just grilled.
"Honey, try this. I made it especially for you."
Sheena took a bite.
Yuck!
It was too salty!
Her delicate features scrunched up in a painful expression.
Being used to Elliot's usually delicious cooking, Sheena was completely unprepared for how inedible this skewer was.
Elliot was afraid of being hit and quickly ran away.
He was getting back at Sheena for saying she would marry Mavis and make him the main wife.
It did not take long for Sheena to realize this, and she immediately chased after him.
"Elliot! You're gonna get it from me!"
The two of them playfully bickered, and Mavis watched with envy.
Suddenly, a skewer appeared before her.
"Eat it before it gets cold."
Nathaniel's voice was aloof, starkly contrasting with the playful banter of Elliot and Sheena.
"Thanks," Mavis said simply, obediently taking the skewer Nathaniel handed her.
…
The joyful moments flew by quickly.
Sheena was nestled in Elliot's arms, and the wine had given her cheeks a rosy glow.
She waved at Nathaniel and Mavis, saying, "Mae, come over anytime. I'll give the mini cakes to Asher and Adora later."
After such a pleasant afternoon, Mavis felt the gloominess of the past few days disappear.
"I will, and I'll keep doing my best."
"Nana, Elliot, we're off," Nathaniel said casually, walking away with Mavis under the moonlight.
On the way back, Mavis felt so happy she wanted to hum a tune.
