Ian rubbed his face. “It’s fine.”
“Well, from now on, stay by my side as before.”
“Okay, Miss.”
Sheena nodded lightly. As Ian made to leave, she called him back, “Contact Mr. Nicholls for me. If he
hasn’t left Farlem, tell him I’m inviting him to dinner tonight.”
She played with the teacup, appearing to be deep in thought.
In the evening, at the Garden Hotel.
Sheena originally intended to treat Nathaniel. However, Nathaniel, upon hearing about it, was
delighted. He personally reserved the entire rooftop restaurant at the Garden Hotel.
Sheena changed into a dark red evening gown. Her makeup was slightly more alluring than usual, and
she looked even more beautiful when she smiled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNathaniel could not take his eyes off her. He gracefully lowered his head and extended his hand,
saying, “Nana, you look beautiful tonight. You’re the most gorgeous princess in the whole of Froania.”
Sheena giggled in a seductive and enticing manner.
Once seated, Nathaniel asked, “Sheena, why did you suddenly decide to have dinner with me tonight?
Have you… figured things out?”
“Nate, I didn’t sleep well last night. When I learned that you were leaving Farlem and didn’t know when
you’d return, I felt this emptiness in my heart.” Sheena frowned, patting her chest.
Her sweet voice that had a touch of flirtation, coupled with her pitiful expression, made it irresistible for
Nathaniel.
“Silly girl, it seems you do have feelings for me. Don’t worry, the matters with the Special Investigation
Department are mostly sorted out. I should be able to stay in Farlem for a while longer.”
Learning that he was not leaving immediately, Sheena was delighted. “That’s great. Gabrielle has also
arrived in Farlem. We can have some fun before you go.”
Nathaniel chuckled. “Yeah, let her go crazy on her own. I’d rather be alone with you like this all the
time.”
Sheena smiled, not saying anything.
Nathaniel locked eyes with her and suddenly remembered something, asking, “Nana, I heard you went

He saved me last night and is now using it as leverage, acting cute and seeking rewards. It’s the same
old routine, and I’m quite annoyed with him these days.”
Nathaniel was pleased to hear that. “Since you’re fed up, why not just give up on him? He’s just a little

Nathaniel’s expression froze. “So what’s your plan?”
“After he’s discharged, I’ll temporarily keep him at the mansion. I won’t let him go out during this time to
avoid trouble. When the time is right, I’ll grant him freedom.”
Nathaniel remained silent, his deep blue eyes narrowing slightly, but he did not object.
Sheena promptly changed the topic and added, “Nate, I faced something incredibly frightening today.”
“What happened?”
“I went to interrogate Brady Carino, who threw sulfuric acid at Elijah last night, but he unexpectedly
died. He died just ten minutes before I entered, and the mastermind openly taunted me in front of the

“Mmhmm.” Sheena tilted her head, observing him suspiciously. “Nate, as a military figure, shouldn’t the
