Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2149

Mavis stared at him in disbelief.

"Are you serious?"

Nathaniel leaned down, brushing a soft kiss against her ear.

"Regretting it already? If you don't want the divorce, you could always—"

She cut him off, "No. I want you to keep your word and follow through on this."

He froze for a moment, something dark flickering in his eyes before he hid it away.

Before long, his flushed face took on a more lustful expression.

"I always keep my word."

He found the straps of her nightgown, removing them effortlessly…

The bedroom light clicked off, and the air between them grew hotter.

…

Morning came.

The curtains shifted slightly, letting a sliver of sunlight fall across Nathaniel's handsome face.

His long lashes fluttered as his deep blue eyes opened, shining like gemstones in the morning light.

He was awake.

The madness of the night before rushed back into his mind, but there was no trace of joy on his face, overwhelmed with complicated emotions.

He rolled over gently, finding Mavis still asleep with her back to him.

He reached out, his hand sliding around her slender waist, pulling her closer.

Mavis was still exhausted.

She let out a low murmur but did not open her eyes.

Nathaniel then moved to rub her back slowly.

"Does it still hurt?"

Mavis did not answer at first.

After being tossed around all night, and with Nathaniel waking early, she had not gotten much rest.

She was caught between sleep and wakefulness, her mind drifting.

However, Nathaniel's question brought her fully awake, and she remembered the madness of the night before.

Did they actually…

Was she so overwhelmed by the smell of alcohol that she agreed to something so absurd?

"I remember—seven days from now, at 9 a.m. in court. I won't go back on my word. You have all the control. If you change your mind within these seven days, just let me know."

It was as though he had placed himself at her mercy, acting completely different from the arrogant man he had once been.

This version of Nathaniel was… strange.

Mavis was utterly confused.

She gripped the edge of the pillow and said firmly, "I won't change my mind."

Nathaniel said nothing further, simply laying back down beside her.

He rested his forehead gently against the back of her neck.

Mavis froze.

She was tired, yet it seemed impossible for her to fall asleep.

The silence between them became unsettling, almost eerie.

After what felt like an eternity, Nathaniel finally spoke.

"How was… your life in Vraeyce?"

Mavis was taken aback by his sudden question.

"It was fine."
