Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1449

Nathaniel turned off his phone screen and did not reply to the message.

After quickly finishing a cigarette, he stepped on the gas pedal, driving his luxury car through the moonlit night back to the Nicholls residence.

At the Nicholls residence, dinner was already prepared, with Marius, Gabrielle, and Mavis waiting in the dining room.

Nathaniel, hands in his pockets, lazily strolled into the room.

"I have told you all to eat without me whenever I'm home late. Why wait for me tonight?"

Gabrielle, leaning on her hand, spoke in a playful tone.

"It's all because of Mae. Marius and I invited her to dinner, but she insisted on waiting for you. So, here we are. Let's eat!"

Marius chimed in, "Nate, Mae is such a great wife. She's all about you. Nowadays, it's rare to find such a good girl. You better treat her right."

Mavis lowered her gaze, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise.

Nathaniel replied calmly, "Of course. I'll naturally treat my own wife well."

After the brief exchange, Nathaniel took his seat at the head of the table.

Soon, everyone started eating, and only the sound of utensils and dishes remained in the dining room.

After dinner, Nathaniel and Mavis returned to their room.

Mavis seemed particularly happy today, eager to share some good news with Nathaniel.

"I found a job today."

Nathaniel remained composed, showing no unusual reaction.

"Is that so? What job is it?"

"I heard it's a highly reputable real estate company," Mavis explained. "I'll be working as a data clerk, organizing documents and assisting other departments with administrative tasks. The educational requirements aren't high, and I passed the video interview today. HR wants me to start tomorrow."

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow, amused.

"You don't even know the specific company, just that it's highly reputable. Aren't you afraid of being deceived?"

Mavis shook her head. "Your assistant, Tommy Chapman, helped me get the job. He's been working under you for so long, so he must be reliable. I trust him, so I didn't bother checking the company's credentials."

Nathaniel could not help but feel pleased by her trust.

After a moment, he found something off about her statement.

Yet, Nathaniel was asking her to see Tommy's help.

Should he not be jealous of her interaction with Tommy?

Sure enough, this marriage was just a contractual one, and he had no whatsoever feelings for her at all.

Her cheerful mood from earlier plummeted instantly.

With her head down, Mavis silently fetched a blanket and pillow from the closet, laying them on the couch before heading to freshen up.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel stepped out onto the balcony to smoke a cigarette.

When he was done, he returned to the bedroom and noticed the neatly arranged makeshift bed on the couch.

The small sofa looked cramped yet cozy, and it reminded him of Marius's words at dinner, urging him to treat Mavis well.

This contractual marriage was advantageous for him, and it was a fair deal with Mavis, but…

He was the one who dragged her into the Nicholls family…

Lost in thought, Nathaniel glanced in the direction of the bathroom.
