Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1487

As they chatted in the dining room, Mavis quickly descended the stairs.

The red ribbon around her neck added a touch of allure to her white professional attire, but it did not look out of place at all.

It was as if it were meant to be there, drawing extra attention to her.

Gabrielle spotted her and commented, "It's the first time I've seen Mae wear a scarf. She looks so gentle. Plus, she's tall and has a great figure, like a flight attendant."

Marius turned to look and nodded approvingly.

"She does look great. Gabrielle, you could learn a thing or two from Mae about dressing. Even in professional attire, she exudes such charm. You should take notes."

Gabrielle retorted, "Marius, you're so annoying, always bringing things back to me."

The atmosphere between the siblings was great.

Only Nathaniel ate his food without any special reaction to Mavis's attire.

"Hurry up. Everyone's waiting for you."

"Okay…"

Mavis pinched her palm, quickly walking to the dining chairs.

She began eating silently as if she had little appetite.

After barely eating anything, she claimed to be full and promptly returned to her room.

Gabrielle sensed something amiss and asked, "Nate, Mae doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Did you two argue on the way back?"

Nathaniel chuckled. "No. Why would we argue? Just eat your food."

"Then why is she upset and eating so little?" Gabrielle asked, concerned.

"How would I know?" He replied casually, his tone unusually cold.

Gabrielle was displeased. "Nate, what's with the attitude? As Mae's husband, you should take note of her moods and try to cheer her up when she's feeling down."

Nathaniel was getting a bit impatient with her nagging and eventually just responded, "Fine, I'll go check on her after dinner."

"That's much better."

Gabrielle felt that something was off between the couple like there was some secret they did not know about.

She continued, "Nate, I've spent time with Mae, and she's really nice. She cares about you a lot. Good wives like her are hard to come by. If you don't appreciate her, you'll regret it!"

"Why did you eat so little tonight and look so glum? Gabrielle was feeling suspicious."

Mavis turned pale.

She was a bit surprised when she heard him mention her appetite, thinking that he noticed it himself.

Yet, it turned out Gabrielle was the concerned one.

She lowered her head, slowly turned around, and apologized with a slight bow, not meeting his eyes.

"I'm sorry. I didn't have much appetite tonight. I'll try to hide my emotions better next time."

Nathaniel looked at her submissive demeanor and felt a strange anger bubbling up inside him.

It was an inexplicable feeling.

While he wanted Mavis to behave better and fulfill their agreement, seeing her become obedient like this, unlike the lively and spirited woman from a few days ago, made him uncomfortable.

"You don't need to sleep on the couch. I won't be sleeping in the bedroom tonight."

He pushed away his thoughts and went to open the door again, walking away without looking back.
