Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2219

"How dare you!" The elder's face turned ashen, his chest heaving with anger.

Mildred was not about to indulge him and scoffed at the man, pulling her precious grandson away from the lobby.

She did not forget to console him, saying, "Don't mind them. They've lived their whole lives with those outdated, sexist ideas, always thinking they're superior."

Nathaniel chuckled. "I'm fine. Let them say what they want."

With his grandmother defending him, he had nothing to be upset about, and the displeasure in his heart began to dissipate.

Mildred led him to the altar room, still talking, "That's right, ignore what they say. They're just a bunch of old geezers with one foot in the grave. You're the one who'll be running the Nicholls family anyway."

Nathaniel nodded, following Mildred silently, displaying an obedience he rarely showed to others.

"However, Nate, there's one thing I need to make clear. But first, kneel."

As soon as they entered the study, Mildred's tone turned serious, pointing to a cushion nearby.

Nathaniel walked over and slowly knelt.

Mildred moved to his side and let out a deep sigh. "As your grandma, your family, I truly hope you and Mae can reconcile. That girl left her hometown and came to Froania just to pursue you for five years, and she even gave birth to your child. You should be grateful and treat her well."

Nathaniel nodded, looking serious and determined. "Don't worry, Grandma. I've come to understand many things from the past now."

"That's good to hear."

She hesitated but decided it was best to be blunt. "Nate, if… and I'm saying if… you can't win Mae back, and you end up divorcing, you absolutely cannot give up custody of Callum."

Nathaniel's brow furrowed slightly, and he did not immediately respond.

Nathaniel's hands at his sides slowly clenched into fists. His chest felt tight, his jaw tense as he tried to contain his emotions.

Mildred crouched down, advising Nathaniel earnestly, "She's indifferent about you, but for Callum, she can't hide her love and adoration for him. I guess Callum is her emotional anchor now. If your relationship truly can't be saved, she'll never give up Callum's custody. So, Nate, you must promise me. No matter how guilty you feel or how much you want to make amends, you can't use Callum. His custody must remain with the Nicholls family."

The atmosphere in the study was heavy and serious.

Troy, learning that Nathaniel had gone to the altar room with Mildred, had come looking for them. As the door was slightly ajar, he overheard Mildred's words, and his heart skipped a beat in fear.

It was clear that Mildred was uncompromising on the issue of Callum's custody.

However, Nathaniel had already given Mavis the signed divorce agreement, which included giving her custody of Callum. If Mildred found out the truth, all hell would break loose in the Nicholls family.

What was Nathaniel supposed to do?
