Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1719

Sheena waved Asher over and hugged him tightly.

"Yes, sweetie. Daddy and I might need to go on a business trip for a while. You and Adora must listen to Uncle Lionel, okay?"

If they were away, she felt much more at ease leaving the kids with Lionel and Jacintha.

"Will you be away for long?" Asher asked.

Even though he understood they were going on a business trip, he was still a five-year-old who needed his parents.

Understanding his worry, Sheena held him close.

"We won't be gone for more than a week, I promise. Daddy and I will return to be with you as soon as possible."

Asher's face showed a rare glimpse of sadness.

However, the little guy quickly jumped off her lap, trying to be brave.

"Mommy, don't worry. I'll take good care of Adora."

Sheena's heart warmed at his maturity.

Unlike Asher, Adora was a little clingy.

Sheena could already foresee the tantrums when her precious daughter found out they were leaving.

Just thinking about it gave her a headache…

As they chatted, Adora burst in through the door after having returned from her day at the kindergarten, running upstairs.

Seeing the suitcase, she immediately grabbed Sheena's hand.

"Mommy, are you leaving? Is Daddy leaving too? How long will you be gone? Can I come with you?"

Sheena gently stroked Adora's head, feeling a pang of guilt.

"No, Adora. Daddy and I are going to save some people who are in trouble far away. If you come with us, we might get distracted, and it would take longer to finish our task. Plus, it's very hot where we're going, and you don't like the heat, remember?"

"I don't want Daddy and you to leave. Mommy, if you're saving them, what about me? I can't sleep without you holding me," Adora cried.

Sheena had anticipated Adora's reaction and gently picked her up, soothing her with a soft voice.

"Don't worry, sweetie. I'll come back soon. In the meantime, you can stay with Uncle Lionel and Aunt Jacintha, okay? They can take you to the amusement park and the zoo."

When Adora heard that Elliot would not be leaving, she stopped crying and looked at him in disbelief.

"Daddy… y-you're not leaving?"

Elliot wiped the tears from her face and nodded.

"I'll stay home with you this time. Mommy needs to go save people, just like the heroes on TV. So, Adora can't keep Mommy from being a hero."

Hearing this, Adora glanced at Sheena.

"Okay, Mommy, come back soon. I'll be waiting for you at home."

Sheena pressed her cheek against Adora's and promised, "I will. When have I ever lied to you? Just be a good girl while I'm gone, okay? And when I come back, I'll bring you some treats from there."

Finally soothing her stubborn little girl, Sheena sent both kids back to their rooms to play.

Then, she turned to Elliot and asked, "You said you'd be staying home. What did you mean by that?"

Feeling apologetic, Elliot explained, "I'm sorry, Honey. I'm swamped with tasks from the National Investigation Bureau that I can't get out of. It's really urgent, so I can't go with you to Gurenchti. But I'll make sure Logan goes with you."

Elliot did not feel at ease with the idea of Sheena going without someone he trusted by her side.
