Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1814

The elderly voice on the other end of the line was full of life.

"Nate, did you miss me? I can't believe you got married without telling the family. Don't you remember about your ol' grandma?"

While on the phone, Mildred lounged comfortably with a face mask, watching a show.

Despite being over seventy, Mildred had a youthful spirit and loved mingling with younger people.

She was beloved by everyone, from seniors to toddlers.

Nathaniel noticed her slightly accusatory tone, and despite being weary from a whole evening of work, he patiently explained, "Grandma, you were recuperating abroad for your health. I didn't want to disturb your rest with such news."

"That's more like it. Nonetheless, I want to meet my granddaughter-in-law. If you don't bring her to pick me up, you'll be in trouble, young man."

Mildred's threat held no real danger, and Nathaniel chuckled, well aware of her playful nature.

Thinking about the early morning ahead, with plans to take the kids to their entrance ceremony, Nathaniel said, "Grandma, get some rest. I'm heading home to do the same."

"Alright, young people should get their rest. See you the day after tomorrow."

Mildred blew a kiss over the phone before hanging up.

…

When Nathaniel returned to the Nicholls residence, he was surprised to find the lights in the living room still on.

Mavis was sitting on the couch, wrapped in a thin blanket, curled up as she watched TV intently.

Hearing the sound at the entrance, she turned to look at him and asked, "Have you had dinner? If not, I can make you some food."

Her hair was slightly tousled as she turned, adding a touch of messy charm to her appearance.

The next morning, Nathaniel was already waiting in the living room when the two kids came downstairs, dressed and ready.

Coincidentally, he and Mavis had chosen outfits in the same color scheme: both wore black wool coats and white turtlenecks.

The only difference was that Mavis wore a long white sweater dress, while Nathaniel opted for black trousers.

Standing together, they looked perfectly matched.

Adora noticed and teased, covering her mouth with a mischievous grin, "Auntie Mae and Uncle Nate, you're wearing matching outfits! Mommy said you have to really like each other to wear matching clothes."

Mavis had not realized their outfits matched until Adora pointed it out, and a blush crept up her cheeks.

What surprised her even more was Nathaniel's response.

He crouched down to Adora's level and said, "That's right. You wear matching clothes when you really like each other. One day, you'll find someone you like and wear matching clothes too. But don't worry, Adora. With me around, none of those boys will be able to hurt you."
