Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1868

With just a little inquiry, Mildred found out that Nathaniel had abandoned his company to go to a remote fishing village in search of a woman.

Thus, she wanted Mavis to stay there a bit longer to avoid the heartbreak of finding out the matter.

However, Mavis informed her that there were unexpected business matters abroad, preventing her from returning right away.

This was just what Mildred had hoped for.

Even so, Mildred still said, "Mae, you're not thinking of not coming back, are you? I really like you, and I'd love for you to keep me company."

Mavis was touched by Mildred's warmth, and she almost revealed everything.

"Grandma, don't worry. I have no plans to stay away forever. And even if things with Nate are difficult, I'll handle them properly and won't let it remain unresolved."

Although Mildred did not want to hear it, Mavis had to prepare her for the worst.

"Dearest Mae, I'm sorry you have to go through this…"

"It's nothing, Grandma. I still have work to finish, so I'll hang up now. I'll catch up with you when I have the time."

"Alright, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Mildred's mind was a mess, and all she could manage was a long, weary sigh.

Gabrielle had been listening to their conversation and understood the situation's complexity.

It was difficult for both Mavis and Mildred, and it seemed unfair that Mildred, at her age, had to worry about Nathaniel's issues.

Nathaniel had actually returned to Svelton some time ago, but he never went back to the Nicholls residence.

He even made sure his men kept his return a secret.

With Kristen back with him, he wanted to get her settled in and familiar with her new surroundings.

After much consideration, Nathaniel decided to set Kristen up in the Oakview Apartment.

He had quietly prepared the apartment for Sheena many years ago, believing that he and Sheena would end up together.

However, fate had taken a different turn, and Sheena had ended up with Elliot.

As a result, the apartment that was meant for Sheena remained vacant.

She was unsure why, but she wanted Nathaniel to be with her.

Despite her excitement, she tried to appear calm and replied with a gentle smile, "Nate, don't put your work aside just for me. Don't worry. I can manage on my own, and I don't want to be the reason you fall behind at work."

"You don't have to worry about that. I promised your grandma I'd take care of you, and I intend to keep that promise."

Nathaniel thought Kristen was quite sensible. Besides resembling Sheena, she knew her place and boundaries.

The apartment was well-equipped and regularly cleaned, so the only thing missing was some of Kristen's personal items.

After a short rest, Kristen suggested they shop for what she needed.

Sitting in the luxury car, Kristen felt a bit anxious, nervously clutching her clothes.

Noticing her unease, Nathaniel offered some comfort.

"Are you uncomfortable with this? Just stay close behind me, and you'll be fine."

Kristen worriedly asked, "I feel like I'm intruding, Nate. What if someone sees us, or worse, what if Ms. Olsen finds out I'm sitting in her seat? Do you think she might come after me?"
