Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1972

"Are you worried because I got hurt?" Nathaniel asked.

Mavis froze, and her anxiety disappeared instantly.

She pulled her hand away from him and said, "If you're not worried about your own life, why should I be? It's ridiculous that you're even smiling. Ella's room is at the end of this building, the third door. You can find it yourself."

She turned to leave, but Nathaniel grabbed her wrist.

"Don't. Even if I find Ella's room, I wouldn't know where she keeps the first-aid kit. You can't just stand by and let me get infected, can you?"

Mavis glared at him.

"If you get infected, it's your own fault."

Then, they both headed toward Ella's place.

The estate was secure, and Ella often left her door slightly ajar while working.

Mavis pushed it open easily.

She quickly found the first-aid kit and cleaned Nathaniel's wound without saying a word.

The silence was a rare and peaceful break from their usual tension.

Nathaniel could not help but watch her closely.

He had never paid much attention to her before and was struck by how beautiful she was.

Her blonde hair and blue eyes, high nose, and fair skin made her look like a natural beauty, like a living doll.

The only sign of weariness was the slight hollowness around her eyes, a clear indication of the stress she had been under recently.

Nathaniel stared at her, lost in thought, his mind a whirlwind.

Mavis felt his gaze and grew uncomfortable.

Annoyed, she poured alcohol over the cut on his finger without warning.

"The moment you made me take the pill, I stopped loving you. Besides, does it really matter if I love you? I've already decided on a new man to spend my life with, and I'm carrying his child."

Nathaniel was not disheartened by her words.

His gaze remained steady and intense as he studied her, trying to see through her act.

"How long are you planning to keep lying to me?"

Mavis looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Nathaniel explained calmly, "It's not difficult for me to find out everything about this estate, including the movements of people here. According to the records, 'Emmett' has been studying abroad for years, with his last return being over a year ago. Since your baby is only about five months old, how could you be pregnant with his child?"

Mavis was taken aback. She had not expected him to uncover the estate's details so quickly.

Noticing Nathaniel's probing gaze, she composed herself, lowering her eyes and falling silent.

Nathaniel observed her shock and continued, "Why are you deliberately tricking me? Who is the father of this child?"
