Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1856

Fortunately, Mavis quickly handed Mildred a glass of water, helping her calm down and reminding her to breathe.

She gently patted Mildred's back, soothing her, "Grandma, don't get so worked up. It's not worth risking your health. And Nate, didn't you say you had work to do? You should head to the study."

It was clear she was trying to defuse the situation.

Nathaniel knew there was no point in arguing further, so he left the table without another word.

After he left, Mildred seemed like she wanted to say more but held back.

Instead, she patted Mavis's hand, saying, "Mae, you've been through so much."

Mavis shook her head with a smile. "It's alright, Grandma. We'll sort out our issues ourselves. Your health is of higher priority."

Gabrielle could not help but mutter, "Nate is so clueless. How could he not see what a wonderful wife Mae is? It's hard to find someone like her. Why is he…"

Noticing Mildred's growing anger, Gabrielle stopped herself from saying more.

Ultimately, they were just onlookers, and only Mavis knew how hurtful the situation was.

…

Far away, Sheena was still at work when she received a call from Mavis.

Despite Mavis trying to mask her emotions, Sheena could tell she was upset.

"Did Nathaniel give you a hard time again?" Sheena asked.

Mavis remained silent.

Sheena sighed. "Mae, is this about what happened before?"

Mavis decided to tell Sheena the truth, recounting the incident where they had drunk too much and ended up sleeping together.

Sheena was at a loss for words. She had thought Nathaniel was simply confused about his feelings, but she had not expected him to avoid responsibility after sleeping together.

"Sheena, I just needed someone to talk to. Keeping it all inside is suffocating. I think I need to handle our issues on my own," Mavis said, trying to sound calm even though she was on the verge of breaking down.

She did not want anyone to see how vulnerable she was.

She retreated to her room, thinking that perhaps it was better to stop meddling in their affairs.

Yet, no matter how hard Mildred tried to convince herself, she felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.

Late at night, the light in the study of the Nicholls residence was still on.

Since returning to Svelton, Kristen and Nathaniel remained in contact, and he would occasionally receive calls from her.

Whether happy or sad, Kristen often shared her thoughts with him.

Nathaniel sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

Lately, he could not stop thinking about that night with Mavis…

Just as he settled down, Kristen called.

Her voice was slightly dejected, but she spoke affectionately, "Nate, what have you been up to? Have you missed me?"
