Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1388

Nathaniel's voice was cold as he mocked, "You claim to love me, willing to do anything for me, yet you can't even accept a prenuptial agreement. Was the compensation and monthly allowance not enough for you?"

Mavis abruptly halted her steps, clenching her palms tightly.

"You women are all the same, impossible to satisfy. Even when I've given you enough money, you want to have me, my heart, my entire estate."

His words were ruthless, each one piercing into Mavis's heart like a dagger.

Feeling wronged, Mavis retorted, "I'm not after your money. I flew from Harbor City, a foreign land, and stayed in Froania for five years because I liked you. But my affection isn't something you can exploit at will. You…"

Her words trailed off.

After pondering it over, she asked the question that weighed heavily on her mind.

"Why have you been so good to me these past few days, showing such attentive care? Is it because you genuinely like me or because you find me easy to manipulate and suitable?"

Nathaniel lowered his head, his long lashes casting shadows under the light, hiding his expression.

He toyed with his cigarette, casually stirring the ashtray, and replied indifferently, "Perhaps… both."

However, the first reason needed some tweaking.

It was because Adora liked Mavis and was fine with having Mavis as her godmother.

Moreover, since Mavis got along well with Adora, Nathaniel would not have to worry about Adora being upset with Mavis in the future.

…

Mavis was not aware of his actual thoughts, but her sadness eased a bit.

Since Nathaniel mentioned both…

She could not help but wonder if he had some feelings for her.

If that were the case, did it mean she still had a chance?

Even if it was just a tiny bit, it proved that her years of painstaking pursuit were worthwhile.

After all, Nathaniel grew up privileged, coming from a wealthy family, while she was just a girl from a poor mountainous area in Harbor City.

Hence, Mavis understood that he might have reservations about her.

With that, Mavis convinced herself…

No properties, no shares, no gold.

She wanted nothing.

In case of divorce, Mavis opted for a clean break.

Nathaniel could not help but give her a few more glances, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "Are you sure you don't want anything in return? I'm not stingy. You've helped me out of a tight spot. Even if you want millions of dollars, a grand unit in Grand Central, or the controlling stake in any company, I'd give it to you without hesitation. After the divorce, you could even run your own business, living without a worry. Isn't that great?"

Mavis shook her head, her tone firm and proud.

"I told you, I only want you and your heart. During this year, I'll comply with all your actions and requests, but at the same time, I'll try to win you over, make you like me, even love me. If I fail, it'll be my loss. I'll leave with nothing, back to my hometown, and won't be part of your life anymore."

She was planning to pursue him, wanting him to like her, even love her?

Nathaniel chuckled.

It was the first time he had seen a girl speak so boldly about pursuing someone, yet with such character and determination.

Strangely, he could not find fault with it, finding it quite intriguing instead.
