Romello.
“Phoebe, there are many people here. Mind your manners,” he reminded her.
Her wish to have a private chat with Sheena was dashed, leaving her to hang her head in disappointment.
Observing the situation, Sheena released Elliot’s arm, walked over, and took Phoebe’s hand, casting a slightly apologetic glance at Romello,
“Mr. Romello, | hope you don’t mind lending Phoebe to me for a few minutes to accompany me to the restroom. I’m sure, being the gracious gentleman you are, you wouldn't refuse even these few minutes, right?”
Romello narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at Elliot quickly before smiling and agreeing, “Of course, Mrs. Jenkins. How could | deny a request from you?”
With his assurance, Sheena took Phoebe away, leaving the two men waiting at the entrance.
It was not until they were far enough away that Sheena asked, “Why did you come with Romello? Did you return to the Nicholls family?”
Phoebe nodded. “Yes, after much consideration, | decided to return and try to blend in with the Nicholls family. After all, they’re my family.”
Sheena patted her hand reassuringly. “Going back is a good choice. You were always meant to be a part of the Nicholls family. It was just unfortunate circumstances that led to so much pain for When you return, you won’t be alone. You'll have a whole group of brothers and sisters.”
At the mention of her siblings, Phoebe’s expression soured.

However, she could not shake off her confusion and asked, “Romello is the current head of Nicholls family and Madam Nicholls’ biological son. Why would he allow her to be injured?”
Phoebe pondered for a moment before shaking her head. “My mom resides on the top floor, which is always locked at night. | plan to wait until Romello lowers his guard and then go up to investigate.”
“Be careful,” Sheena warned.
“Mhm.”
After exchanging a few more words discreetly, they returned without attracting attention. Elliot and Romello were still waiting at the entrance for their respective companions.
