Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1439

Nathaniel's hand paused mid-drink of his soup, remaining silent.

Mavis sneakily glanced at his expression.

She remembered their agreement to keep the marriage private and promptly chimed in, "It's okay. I'm actually not too concerned about the wedding ceremony.

"All that matters is our feelings for each other and a lasting union. These celebrations can be completely set aside. Besides, Nate is always busy with work and has a lot on his plate. Where would he find the time to plan a wedding?"

Marius sighed and said, "You're a great person, very practical. Unlike those finicky, spoiled heiresses, you know what truly matters in life."

Gabrielle immediately took offense and scolded, "Marius, what are you saying? Who's finicky?"

She, an actual heiress, was sitting just right there.

It was obvious that he was indirectly talking about her!

Marius awkwardly chuckled.

"I'm not talking about you. Don't take it personally."

Nathaniel, who had been silent at the head of the table, chimed in, "You're not wrong. Gabrielle has always been the pampered little lady of our family, the cutest sister. It's only natural that she's finicky. It means she just has a preference and standard."

Gabrielle was delighted by the praise, feeling like she had surpassed Phoebe in Nathaniel's eyes.

"Nate, you're the best!"

She sent a playful wink, forming a heart shape with her fingers.

Nathaniel just smiled and continued eating.

Marius glanced at his siblings before focusing on Mavis again, returning to the previous topic.

"While it's true you're understanding and considerate toward Nate, and it doesn't matter to you if there's a wedding, I still feel like not having one would be a bit unfair to you."

He suddenly came up with an idea, suggesting, "How about this? We announce your marriage on the Nicholls Group's official website first, and then when Nate has time, we'll arrange a wedding ceremony."

Mavis's expression froze.

Mavis bit her lip, contemplating her options.

Gabrielle noticed her discomfort and seemed to understand, stepping in, "Oh, Marius, stop bugging her. She's all shy and awkward now. It's only the first formal introduction, and you're bombarding her with questions. Isn't that annoying?"

Marius was taken aback.

"But I'm just trying to help her, aren't I?"

"That's your assumption, but Mae's hometown is… somewhere called Harbor City, and all her relatives are not around here. They probably don't even know about Mae's marriage yet. If Mae isn't willing to make it public or have a wedding, there's a reason for that. This is between Nate and Mae, so you shouldn't meddle."

Marius listened quietly.

Gabrielle continued, "Plus, not having a wedding isn't a big deal. If Nate and Mae want to, they can always travel and have a wedding ceremony later. Young people nowadays are into that sort of thing. Also, Nana and Elliot still haven't had a wedding to this day. The twins are already five years old. I heard they went on a trip once, but it seems like a wedding ceremony is unlikely. I wonder if Nana will ever get the chance to wear a wedding dress in her lifetime. I heard that there wasn't even a wedding for her first marriage. She just wore a wedding dress for a photo…"

Gabrielle got more excited as she gossiped, getting carried away with the topic.

Nathaniel's expression grew increasingly serious and displeased as she went on.
