Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1609

However, seeing the excitement and hope on Sheena's face, Elliot could not say no.

He simply nodded and said, "Anything you want, honey."

An hour later, two happy little figures ran up to Sheena and Elliot, bouncing around as they excitedly shared their adventures on the way over.

Meanwhile, Lionel was carrying various items—baby bottles, backpacks, water cups, small towels, jackets…

Sheena could not help but tease, "Lionel, you'd make a great dad someday."

Lionel blushed, his ears turning red as well.

Seeing his reaction, Sheena leaned closer to Jacintha and whispered, "Jacintha, you two should hurry up. Asher and Adora are already five. They need playmates."

"Sheena…" Jacintha blushed too, quickly heading to the lakeside.

Under the bright afternoon sun, Lionel and Jacinta busied themselves with the barbecue preparations.

Nearby, another family was also relaxing under the shady tree, eating pre-cut fruits they bought.

The gentle breeze made everything feel pleasant.

Elliot watched Lionel and Jacintha bustling about and chuckled to Sheena, saying, "We suggested the barbecue, but they ended up doing all the work. I feel kind of bad."

He said this, but he did not move an inch from his spot next to his wife.

Standing behind him, Asher remarked dryly, "Daddy, don't say things you don't mean."

Everyone burst into laughter at Asher's comment.

The joyful times flew by.

After eating the barbecue and watching the sunset, the two families parted ways.

The children were so exhausted that they fell asleep in the car almost immediately, their hearts and minds content.

At 10 p.m., Lance sent Keaton's final verdict to Elliot's email.

The court confirmed all charges against Keaton and sentenced him to death by shooting in three days.

The verdict document was filled with a list of Keaton's crimes, but Elliot's eyes were fixed on the words "Death Penalty Approved".

The study door was closed.

When Sheena noticed that Elliot had not come out for a long time, she pushed it open and saw him standing by the window, looking sad.

She hugged him from behind and asked softly, "Honey, what's wrong?"

"Three days from now, Keaton will be executed by shooting."

Elliot's voice was solemn.

"So, Mr. Jenkins, did you come to see me suffer? To see how pathetic I look in my final moments?"

Elliot did not respond.

Instead, he showed the old bottle of whiskey he had brought with him, removed the cork, and poured the liquor onto the ground.

He said calmly, "To my former friend."

Keaton stared at him, seemingly taken aback by Elliot's words.

In the end, those words were enough.

"Elliot, don't be so smug," Keaton responded with a lazy tone, laughing. "I let you win."

Though imprisoned and facing execution, Keaton had a way to escape.

However, this time, he chose not to.

He had spent his life killing many people and doing many things, but he had never been with the one he truly loved.

He knew Renee was suspicious, but he loved her anyway.

He willingly made excuses for her and allowed himself to be deceived by her simply because she was Renee.
