Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2126

Mavis was lost in thought, replaying Nathaniel's words.

Just a few days ago, he had promised to handle her return to the country as quickly as possible. He said they needed to publicly announce her return before they could finalize the divorce and secure Callum's custody.

The more she thought about it, the less tasty the barbecue in her mouth became.

Having lost her appetite, she set down her skewer.

"I need to use the restroom."

Sheena watched her retreating figure as she walked away and immediately said, "Mae seems upset. I'll go check on her."

"Mom, wait."

Sheena was just about to get up when Adora stopped her.

It was Mavis's phone.

Nathaniel did not turn around, but he could hear Mavis speaking softly into the phone.

"Evan, it must be late night in Vraeyce with the time difference. What's going on? Why are you calling at this hour?"

At the mention of Evan's name, Nathaniel froze, and his expression darkened even more.

"...I just finished dinner here. You don't need to worry about me. No one in Froania can trouble me. Yes, I—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Nathaniel was on her, his tall frame dominating as he grabbed the back of her head and forcefully pressed his lips against hers, silencing her with an overpowering kiss...
