Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2148

Nathaniel's expression became harder to read.

He scoffed and asked, "Did she tell you that?"

"Yes. Whenever we talked, Mae would occasionally bring up her past. She'd laugh it off, but I could see the pain underneath. She deserves love and care, Nathaniel. If you don't love her, let her go. She deserves someone better, someone who truly appreciates her. I do. I care about her deeply, and I want to spend my life protecting her."

Fueled by passion, Evan sat up straight.

Even though he had to look up at Nathaniel, his gaze was determined, and he spoke sincerely.

Nathaniel lowered his gaze, silent for a long time.

Then, he lit up a cigarette, hiding behind the swirling smoke.

Evan could sense the danger radiating from Nathaniel, but he remained unshaken.

He had come to Froania knowing full well that he would have to confront Nathaniel, and he was not about to back down.

For a while, neither spoke.

Finally, Evan broke the silence.

"Nathaniel, you've disappointed Mae in more ways than you can count. You don't deserve her."

Nathaniel exhaled a cloud of smoke, still saying nothing.

"Don't you want to know how she survived the past five years? Don't you want to know the extent of the pain she went through because of you? I can tell you."

…

Half an hour later, the hotel room door clicked open from the inside.

Nathaniel stepped out with slightly reddened eyes.

Not only that, but Troy also noticed Nathaniel's fingers were trembling as they hung by his sides, and his jaw was clenched tight as if he was holding back some deep emotion.

Troy was stunned, and he asked, "Mr. Nicholls, are you alright?"

Nathaniel did not respond to the question, only muttering, "Tomorrow, take him to Ascend Apartment. Hand him over to Mavis."

"Understood," Troy replied.

…

In the middle of the night.

Mavis had just finished washing up and was ready for bed.

She had not seen Callum in three days, and she missed him terribly.

When the kiss finally broke, Nathaniel did not waste any time.

He scooped her up effortlessly and carried her toward the bedroom.

By the time Mavis realized what was happening, he had already laid her on the bed.

Nathaniel loomed over her, his eyes and voice seemed to become even more seductive under the influence of alcohol.

"Can I stay?"

Mavis widened her eyes in surprise.

"Are you insane?"

Nathaniel gave her a devilish smile and stroked her cheek in a rare moment of gentleness.

"Just this once. In exchange, I'll give you whatever you want."

"Sure. I want a divorce and custody of Callum."

Nathaniel smiled again, his eyes tinged with a faint redness that might have been from the alcohol.

In the quiet of the night, his voice was surprisingly tender as he said, "Alright. No need for a formal agreement. We'll split everything 50/50. Seven days later, I'll see you in court at 9 a.m."
