Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1939

Nathaniel often stayed at the office, and sometimes Tommy would arrive in the morning to find him asleep in his chair, indicating another night without rest.

Tommy felt helpless, knowing there was little he could do.

It was too late to regret it anyway.

Despite his frustration, Tommy tried to offer some advice.

"Mr. Nicholls, work is important, but you must take care of your health. Your current state is quite worrying."

"I'm fine," Nathaniel dismissed, continuing his relentless work schedule.

Nathaniel's overwork soon reached Mildred's ears.

Though deeply pained by Mavis's departure, Mildred was equally concerned about her grandson's well-being.

Hence, she instructed Gabrielle to call Nathaniel and say she was ill.

Gabrielle hesitated. "Grandma, I don't think that's appropriate."

"What's wrong with that? If you don't, he'll never come home. Nate is just as stubborn a streak as your grandpa."

Gabrielle was taken aback.

Why was Mildred dragging him into this?

Gabrielle thought if her grandfather were to hear about this, he might very well climb out of the grave to question what was happening.

"Will you do it or not?" Mildred glared at her.

Reluctantly, Gabrielle called Nathaniel.

The phone was answered quickly, and Gabrielle immediately sensed his exhaustion from the sound of his voice.

"Nate, have you been getting any rest lately?"

"Grandma, you look healthy and well."

Mildred huffed, "I see you've completely forgotten about this family. It's been so long since you've been home that I thought you might have died out there!"

Gabrielle and Marius stood by in silence, not daring to speak.

Gabrielle glanced at Nathaniel, silently signaling him to respond.

As Nathaniel ate, he calmly said, "Grandma, I've been busy with work."

"Busy? I don't believe you've been so overwhelmed that you couldn't even come home for dinner! How many times have you even been back since Mae left? You keep saying you're busy, but I don't buy it. Not even enough time to come home at night?"

Nathaniel had no response.

Seeing his gloomy demeanor, Mildred's tone softened as she spoke with concern. "I understand that you're struggling to cope with Mae leaving you, and you're trying to escape from it all, but what about this family? The situation with Mae should make you more determined to face things head-on, not to run away. You need to take a break from work. Hand over the Nicholls Group affairs to Marius and let your assistants support him. Take some time off to travel and clear your mind."
