Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1469

After finishing their meal, Sheena and Elliot parted ways again.

Sheena drove Adora to kindergarten while Elliot took Asher to the lab for his IV treatments.

As they drove to the laboratory, Asher looked out the window at the passing scenery, his obsidian eyes sharp and intelligent.

He tentatively asked, "Daddy, are you really going to stay with me for the whole treatment today?"

Elliot was driving that day, and he did not answer immediately.

Instead, he glanced at Asher sitting in the back in his child safety seat through the rearview mirror.

Asher resembled Elliot a lot when he was younger, appearing obedient and well-behaved in front of elders, but he was always up to something.

Seeing that Elliot did not respond, Asher said empathetically, "Besides your work at the National Investigation Bureau, you also have to manage the Jenkins Group. I know you're busy, and I feel bad for you…"

Before Asher could finish his sentence, Elliot interrupted, "If you're trying to get rid of me to do something naughty, you don't need to waste your time on that."

Asher's face paled slightly, but he smiled cheerfully.

"What are you saying, Daddy? I just don't want to distract you from your work because of me. I'd feel guilty."

Elliot's expression remained steady as he focused on driving.

"Asher, I was your age once. I understand what you're probably thinking. But I won't give you the chance. If you want to pull a prank or something, just tell me beforehand. I might even support you."

Asher pursed his lips and fell silent for a moment.

The phrase "I might even" indicated that rejection or correction was highly likely.

Asher watched how Elliot handled Adora, knowing he had to hide his playful tendencies.

Elliot's voice remained calm as he continued, "He gave you the largest aquarium in Froania, complete with all sorts of exotic marine creatures. The monthly operating and management fees aren't low."

Asher looked at Elliot with a frown, hands folded. "Dad, what are you getting at? Are you trying to make me feel sorry for wasting Nathaniel's money?"

Elliot chuckled. "The Nicholls family has been a prominent family in Froania for over a century. One aquarium won't bankrupt him. What I mean is, the aquarium is yours. You've spent most of your childhood in the lab, so you haven't seen many cute and rare animals, right? After your treatment tonight, how about I take you there to play? How does that sound?"

Asher tilted his chin up dismissively. "I'm not as childish as Adora. That's something only she would like. I'm not interested in seeing animals or jellyfish."

Elliot pretended to be disappointed and replied, "Well, that's a shame. I planned to pick up Adora and Mommy from work this afternoon and take the whole family to the aquarium.

"I even got each of you a little digital camera to take pictures of your favorite animals. If you're not going, then I'll just go with Adora and Mommy."

Asher's expression froze.

His firm belief that the aquarium was childish suddenly wavered.
