I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 257

Elijah was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to reject him so decisively.

Sheena spoke firmly, “My life was ruined from the day Old Man Freeman brought me into the Freeman mansion. Old Man Freeman showed me kindness but didn’t trust me either. Faye falsely accused me of stealing jewelry, and Wilfred sided with her. Old Man Freeman didn’t say a word. Although I don’t harbor resentment toward him for that incident, asking me to celebrate the day I entered the Freeman mansion is absolutely impossible!”

Her gaze was icy to the core.

It had been long since Elijah had seen her look at him with such eyes. Panicking, he apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was like this…”

Sheena did not direct her anger toward him. “You were probably busy with work at the Freeman Group then. Not knowing is understandable, but there’s no need for this dinner.”

As she spoke, Sheena checked the time; it was already late. After instructing Ford to take care of Elijah, she turned to leave.

Elijah quickly grabbed her hand, asking, “Sheena, do you know that Colin is going to propose to you tonight?”

Sheena was unsurprised but still questioned, “How do you know?”

Elijah explained, “He told me the last time he came to the Freeman Group looking for you. I think he’s too soft–hearted. He might be a good friend but not a good husband, and being with him will make you sad!”
