Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2174

Mavis nodded and turned to leave, her mind in a haze.

…

She barely remembered getting into the luxury car or entering Nathaniel's ward.

She was upset, and her feelings were a mess.

Mildred's words from their conversation in the study echoed in her mind.

"Mae, the Nicholls family can't be without Callum, and neither can you. There's a simple solution—don't divorce Nate. Stay together and make it work."

"Think it over carefully. It's just a suggestion, and the choice is yours. But I must warn you—the Nicholls family will never give up custody of Callum. Even if Nathaniel agrees, the rest of us won't. It'll end up in an ugly court battle, with a judge deciding Callum's fate."

"You're a good person, Mae. I trust you'll understand."

These words seemed to replay endlessly, making Mavis' heart sink.

She had consulted her lawyer's opinion multiple times about fighting for Callum's custody, and the odds were stacked against her.

If Mildred's side refused to back down and it went to court, Mavis' chances of winning were close to none.

Mavis felt trapped…

"What's wrong?" A deep, masculine voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

She turned to see Nathaniel sitting up in bed, looking at her.

He had a tray of appetizing hospital food laid out before him, yet the meal was still untouched.

"Usually, you're all smiles after seeing Callum. Why so glum today?"

Yet, Callum was her entire world, her reason for living.

She could not help feeling a twinge of resentment.

"Do you remember a few nights ago, when you were drunk and came to me, promising to give me Callum if… if we…"

She trailed off, biting her lip.

"Does that still stand?"

Nathaniel remained composed. "Of course it does. But that's between you and me. Grandma is a different matter."

Mavis was disappointed.

"However," Nathaniel smirked, his eyes glinting mischievously, "there might be a quicker solution that could make everyone happy."
