Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1486

It hurt Mavis deeply that Nathaniel acted this way because of his childhood sweetheart, the apple of his eye.

Mavis flashed a mocking smile, enduring the feeling of suffocation.

It was hard for her to speak, but she still uttered, "Do you… really think I… am a woman who stirs up trouble? Do you… like her that much? Even though she's already someone's wife, you'd rather bury those feelings deep in your heart and silently devote yourself to her?"

Nathaniel was thoroughly annoyed, and his expression was menacing.

"Mavis, can't you understand plain words? You are never, ever allowed to mention Sheena in front of me. Whatever happened between her and me is none of your business."

As he spoke, Nathaniel's grip on her neck tightened more and more.

It seemed like punishment for her disobedience.

As the oxygen in her lungs was running low, Mavis's face turned red, filled with pain.

She had accidentally touched a sore spot and crossed a line.

If there were a next time, would he really strangle her?

Mavis was fearful.

This side of Nathaniel was unfamiliar and terrifying to her.

"Y-Yes… I'm sorry…"

Hearing her apology, Nathaniel finally released his grip, satisfied.

With a cold demeanor, he looked away and resumed his seat.

Soon, the entire car was filled with Mavis's desperate coughs and Nathaniel's silence.

Mavis clutched her neck, silently shifting closer to the car door, trying to put some distance between her and him.

Expressionless, Nathaniel stepped on the gas.

Mavis gripped the handle tightly, biting her lip, trying to endure the pain in her neck.

Her heart ached.

Nathaniel truly… loved Sheena deeply.

"You should go to the bedroom first, find a scarf to cover the marks on your neck."

Mavis nodded, her hands covering her neck as she dragged her tingling legs up the stairs.

Nathaniel's gaze did not linger on her for long.

Instead, he entered the mansion and headed straight for the dining room.

Marius had important business at his company and returned late.

Hence. the siblings had dinner together again.

Seeing Nathaniel enter, Gabrielle asked, "Nate, why are you alone? Where's Mae?"

"She went upstairs, probably to change clothes. She'll be down in a moment." He answered naturally, with no trace of the terrifying aura from the car ride earlier.

Noticing Gabrielle's affectionate nickname for Mavis, Nathaniel inquired, "Why are you calling her Mae? You just found out she's your sister-in-law. Since when did you two get so close?"

Gabrielle giggled and replied playfully, "I liked her even when she was just your 'personal servant'. She's my sister-in-law, but she's also my friend. Besides, I really like calling her Mae."
