Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1438

Nathaniel turned and walked away, heading to his study upstairs.

Watching his retreating figure, Mavis could not shake off the lingering fear from his cold gaze earlier.

It seemed she still did not know enough about Nathaniel's past.

Hence, she decided to ask Seymour for more information to avoid accidentally upsetting him again.

However… his cross-dressing was truly beautiful.

Except for the slightly prominent Adam's apple when he was closer, it was… quite sexy.

Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Mavis decisively returned to her room to change clothes.

…

The incident where Nathaniel publicly defended Mavis, punished and dismissed the troublemakers Aishah and Helena, and announced Mavis's identity in front of everyone spread throughout the Nicholls residence in just an hour.

Only Marius, who had just returned home, was unaware of it.

At the dinner table, Gabrielle grinned mischievously as she looked at Mavis as if she had already figured everything out.

The long, white table was adorned with exquisite dinnerware, but Nathaniel, the head of the household, had not touched his utensils.

Hence, the others followed suit, sitting quietly as they waited for him.

When Marius's favorite cheesy mashed potatoes were served, he immediately said, "Nate, what's the big announcement? Spit it out already, or the food will get cold, and I've been starving for ages."

"Well, let's dig in. It's about a family matter, nothing too serious," Nathaniel said, picking up his soup spoon and taking a sip of the broth.

Seeing him finally start eating, Gabrielle and Marius followed suit, picking up their utensils to enjoy the meal.

It was Mavis's first time eating at such a grand dinner table, and she was unsure of the etiquette.

She kept her eyes on Nathaniel, mimicking his every move, whether it was which hand he used to hold the spoon or how he ate.

As the atmosphere at the table became more relaxed, Mavis visibly loosened up, and Nathaniel began to speak.

Marius nodded understandingly.

"That's great news. Congratulations! From now on, the Nicholls residence is your home, Mavis! Don't be shy. If you need anything, you can always ask Seymour or the other staff, and if there's anything you're unsure of, you can ask me."

He smiled warmly.

"Thank you, Marius."

Mavis quite liked the familial atmosphere at the Nicholls residence.

There were no strict rules from elders, and the younger generation was quite easygoing.

Unfortunately, she knew she would not be able to enjoy this pleasant atmosphere for long.

Mavis lowered her head and continued eating with a melancholic gaze.

Marius noticed her expression and turned to Nathaniel. "Nate, since you're already married, when do you plan to have the wedding? She's marrying into our family, and we should do something for her, right?"
