Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1877

The competitors on stage were tense, which made the parents in the audience even more anxious.

Conversations buzzed below, with parents voicing their worries.

Some parents were more nervous than their kids, fearing they would mess up. Others, knowing their child would not make it through the preliminaries, started chatting about dinner plans.

Sheena, Elliot, and Mavis were the quietest in the room, hardly saying a word from start to finish.

The preliminary round ended quickly, and ten kids were selected to move on to the semi-finals the following week.

Asher was among them.

Some people grumbled, suggesting Asher must have cheated.

Hearing this from the stage, Asher asked the host for another problem.

He solved it quickly and efficiently, silencing the doubters with his skill.

On the way home, Asher was in high spirits, which lifted Sheena's mood as well.

Then, Asher asked a question just like Adora had before.

"Mommy, aren't you busy with work?"

Sheena smiled. "I don't want to miss these exciting moments in your lives."

Elliot smiled too.

Mavis, watching the happy family, felt a longing.

She wondered if her own child would be as adorable as Asher and Adora.

Maybe then, Nathaniel would treat her better.

A family together sounded perfect.

Mavis decided to return home the next day and tell Nathaniel about her pregnancy.

Delaying it further felt irresponsible.

Meanwhile, back at the Nicholls residence, chaos had erupted.

"Mavis, why didn't you tell us you were coming? I would've sent someone to pick you up."

Mavis smiled, appreciating Mildred's kindness, which put her in a good mood.

However, she decided not to mention her pregnancy until she knew Nathaniel's stance.

As she handed out gifts, she said, "Grandma, these are for you all. I need to head to the office later. This trip was for business, and there are still some things I need to handle."

Hearing that she planned to go to the office, Gabrielle nervously clutched Mildred's sleeve.

Mildred's face fell instantly.

She had intended to visit the office to confront Kristen but had not expected Mavis to return first.

Sensing something was off, Mavis asked, "Is everything alright?"

Gabrielle started to speak, but Mildred stopped her, squeezing her wrist.

"Mavis, can we come with you to the office? It's been a while since I've been there, and I'd like to take a look at how things are going."
