Tania’s expression turned cold.
“Not long ago, at the palace banquet hosted by Princess Kelly from Laubabwe, you stole the spotlight on stage. Perhaps you didn’t pay attention to the audience, but I was there too.”
Sheena froze.
If Tania had been at the banquet, she must have been aware of the wedding between her and Nathaniel, explaining the unfriendly attitude.
“There were reasons for that event…”
Sheena tried to explain, but Tania ignored her.
Instead, she approached Elliot and grabbed his arm.

you.”
Elliot was led away.
Sheena watched their retreating figures, her eyelashes drooping slightly, looking melancholy.
Lionel quickly noticed her mood and walked over to console her. “Miss, don’t worry. She doesn’t understand the situation and might say unpleasant things to Mr. Jenkins, but he’ll surely believe in you.”
“I know,” Sheena replied.
She was unsure what she feared.
Was she afraid that Elliot might doubt the child was truly Nathaniel’s?
Impossible.
Elliot would not think that way.
Sheena caressed her belly. Though the months were still early, and she could not feel the child’s presence yet, she knew a new life was growing inside her–her and Elliot’s baby.
Seeing her lost in thought, Lionel signaled Jacintha with his eyes.
Jacintha promptly understood his concern, cheerfully coming forward to link arms with Sheena and engage her in lively conversation.
Sheena’s attention was instantly diverted by the chirpy Jacintha, letting herself be led away by Jacintha into the mansion.
In another corner of the garden, Tania pulled Elliot aside.

“Auntie Tania, doing this might make Nana misunderstand. There’s nothing, I hide from her. I have
no secrets.”
Tania was annoyed. “Are you criticizingnow?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElliot lowered his head, choosing to stay quiet.
Silence was acquiescence.
Tania was angry but refrained from scolding him due to their close relationship. He was, after all, her favorite nephew,
Instead, she asked, “Do you even know what Sheena did in Laubabwe?”
“I do,” Elliot replied calmly, nodding.
“You know?” Tania was surprised. “Since you know, why haven’t you canceled the engagement with her? She went to Laubabwe to marry another man and is even pregnant with his child.”
“That day, she publicly vomited at the banquet. This incident is widely known among Laubabwe’s upper–class society. Moreover, she and that man displayed affection openly! How can you tolerate all of this?”
The remark about their affection irked Elliot for a moment.
He quickly concealed his displeasure and calmly said, “Auntie Tania, you’ve misunderstood. The child in Nana’s belly is mine, and her trip to Laubabwe was for me.”
Tania found it all perplexing, staring at him in disbelief. “Have you lost your mind? Do you like being cuckolded? I saw it with my eyes at the banquet, and she admitted that the child in her belly belonged to that man. Are you planning to care for another person’s child?”
Elliot was speechless.
It was his baby, and he was taking care of his own child!
If anyone had considered caring for another person’s child, it would have been Nathaniel.
