Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2153

Mavis thought it was Nathaniel.

She turned and said, "Why are you…"

However, her words trailed off as she realized the man beside her was not Nathaniel—it was Evan.

Mavis was surprised and asked, "Didn't I ask you to go unpack your things? What are you doing here?"

Evan, with his ever-polite smile, adjusted his glasses.

"There's really nothing much to unpack. But you, on the other hand, might have trouble carrying all this by yourself, so I figured I'd come help."

"I wasn't planning on making anything grand. It's just a simple dinner since Callum's coming."

Evan peeked into the bag of seafood, ignoring her comment.

"It's my first time meeting the little guy, and I've got to make a good impression. How about I cook tonight?"

Mavis was getting a little annoyed.

"I don't want to trouble you…"

"It's no trouble. Let me show off my skills," Evan said gently.

The seafood vendor had been watching them for a while and could not help but comment, "Sweetheart, don't be shy. Your boyfriend is so thoughtful! You're lucky to have him."

Mavis blushed, while Evan simply laughed it off, not seeming bothered by the assumption.

Not far away, Nathaniel stood with Callum by his side at the entrance to the market.

The little boy was looking around excitedly, trying to spot his mother.

However, Nathaniel's eyes were fixed on Mavis's back, and he heard the vendor's comment loud and clear.

His expression instantly turned grim.

Unaware of the intense stare behind her, Mavis turned to the vendor and explained, "You've got it wrong. He's not my boyfriend. I'm married."

The vendor awkwardly chuckled. "Oh, my mistake. Sorry about that."

Mavis did not want to dwell on it.

She offered a polite smile and turned to leave.

Evan followed closely behind her, carrying the grocery bags.

"Mommy, pick me up!" Callum tried to run to her, but Nathaniel held his hand tightly, not letting go.

Callum looked up at his father in confusion. "Daddy?"

Nathaniel's expression remained cold, and his voice was equally icy.

"Can't you see she's on a date? It's rude to interrupt them. We're leaving."

Without waiting for a response, he headed outside.

Callum tried to resist but was swiftly scooped up into Nathaniel's arms.

After two firm pats on his little bottom, he quieted down.

Though the taps did not hurt, Nathaniel's stern demeanor was enough to make him pout and teary-eyed.

'Did Daddy just say Mommy's on a date?' Callum wondered as he glanced at the man behind Mavis.

He grew increasingly resentful, already having a bad impression of Evan at first sight.

"Nathaniel, wait!"
