turned to Corey, who sternly said, “Elllot, don’t think that getting Nana pregnant means the Lawson
family will easily marry her off. Even if she never gets married, the Lawson family can still support her
and the children for a lifetime.”
“Enough!” Albert’s expression darkened.
Corey continued, “Dad, although you make the decisions in this family, I’ve been guiding her as a
mother would since we lost Mom. Regarding her marriage, I hope you can discuss it with me.”
In truth, Corey was indeed the only one who could manage Sheena. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Albert did not agree outright but did not directly refuse elther, only saying, “Let’s eat first, and after
dinner, the three of you can have a proper discussion.”
“Okay.”
The sound of utensils resumed, and everyone silently finished the meal.
After dinner, Lauren wheeled Albert upstairs to watch the New Year countdown on TV, leaving Corey,
Barbara, Noah, Howard, Elliot, and Sheena in the living room.
Knowing that Corey was still upset, Sheena dared not sit and stood on the side, with Elliot standing
beside her.
Corey sat in the middle of the sofa, maintaining an upright posture, and exuding an intimidating
presence.
Barbara sat beside him while Noah and Howard occupied the side sofas.
The atmosphere in the room turned chilly, and it felt like they were in a courtroom hearing judgment.
Sheena anxiously lowered her head, feeling suffocated by the oppressive tension.
Elliot tightly gripped her sweaty hand, providing reassurance.
After a few more minutes, Corey began speaking with a sinister tone, “Sheena, well done! You’ve given
me such a big surprise. Do you want to break your hand or your leg? Take your pick.”
Sheena’s heart skipped a beat.
Before she could respond, Howard chimed in, “Corey, the first few months are the most delicate, no
violence allowed. Besides, they’re twins!”
Noah chimed in, “You should put the blame on Elliot and break his legs first before deciding anything
else.”
Barbara nodded in agreement.
Corey, annoyed, glanced at Elliot without immediately passing judgment on his crimes. Instead, he
turned his attention back to Sheena.

“Let’s count your mistakes first. You acted on your own, played tricks, and deliberately chose New
Year’s Eve to confess, thinking that I wouldn’t be able to deal with you with Dad present?”
Sheena bit her lower lip, lowering her head even further.
Again, Howard broke the solemn atmosphere, reminded, “Corey, they’re twins!”
On the adjacent sofa, Howard, although silent, extended two fingers, signaling ‘2‘ to Corey.
A silent reminder that Sheena was pregnant with twins!
This provocation successfully reignited Corey’s anger, but it was directed at Howard this time.
Before he could put his hand away, Corey kicked him hard, saying, “It’s been too long since you got a
beating, and you’re itching for one, huh?”
“Ouch!” Howard winced, rubbing his sore knee, beads of cold sweat forming.
He looked at Sheena, saying, “Nana, I took the first wave of Corey’s wrath for you. I did my best!”
Grateful, Sheena replied, “Howard, thanks! But please, don’t say anything else. I’m afraid Corey might
actually beat you up!”
Howard fell silent, quietly watching as a spectator.
