Chapter 376

Elijah did not have much strength left. However, when he noticed that Sheena was about to remove his arm from around her waist forcefully, he pleaded softly, his voice weak and tender.

“Please… just let me hold you for a little while, just this once…”

moments.

Sheena, with a hardened heart, continued to pry his hand away. “Let go. I need to go to the study!”

“Please don’t. I’m begging you…”

Sheena’s body was like honey, making him reluctant to let go.
