Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1440

With a loud thud, Nathaniel placed his utensils heavily on the table and stood up abruptly.

"I'm full. Enjoy your meal."

He strode toward the stairs, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Gabrielle shook her head in frustration, muttering, "Nate, really? After all these years, he's still so touchy about anything that suggests Nana's life isn't perfect."

Mavis sensed that there was something unusual about this conversation.

"Gabrielle, is this Nana you mentioned connected to Mr. Nich—Nate in some special way? Why can't he bear to hear these things?"

Gabrielle awkwardly chuckled, saying, "I almost forgot you were sitting right there. They're just childhood friends, nothing important."

Childhood friends?

Mavis pondered deeply.

If Nathaniel's mood swings were somehow related to this woman, then how could it be insignificant?

Seeing Mavis lost in thought, Gabrielle tried to make amends by offering her some food.

"Mae, try this. I really like it. Don't worry about Nate's past with that girl. It's really not a big deal. If he chose to marry you, it means his heart is with you now."

Marius suddenly choked on his food, coughing heavily.

He could not help but think Gabrielle was spurting nonsense, worsening the situation.

"Don't mind her, Mae. She's just talking nonsense. Eat up. The Nicholls family's chef's skills are on par with those of famous restaurants outside. You should try every dish."

"Sure. Thank you," Mavis replied politely, deciding not to dwell on the matter any further.

"Since you had already mentioned that I was a servant, I thought I should at least try to act like one. After all, while the others were working, I was the only one staying in the room. So I went, but I didn't expect her to confront me so openly."

The explanation did make sense.

Nathaniel observed her nervous gestures and suddenly had a mischievous idea.

Seizing the opportunity while Mavis was not paying attention, he grabbed her arm.

Before she knew it, she was already sitting on his lap.

Mavis was stunned as she met his gaze, her face quickly flushing red.

"W-What are you doing?"
