Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1497

The more Gabrielle thought about it, the more she felt sorry for Mavis.

She patted her hand sympathetically and said, "Mae, if Nate is ever mean to you and you can't stand up to him, just tell me. I'll give him a piece of my mind for you."

Mavis chuckled and squeezed her hand back, grateful to have such a sweet sister-in-law.

"Even if I told you, would you really dare to stand up to him? He's the head of the Nicholls family, and everything here is under his control."

Gabrielle's bravado quickly deflated.

Even though Nathaniel was not as harsh as Romello and had never punished her, she knew his temperament well enough.

If pushed too far, he would not let things slide easily.

Gabrielle sighed, admitting defeat. "You're right. I wouldn't dare."

Mavis smiled and patted her cheek.

"It's okay. Don't take it too seriously. Nate really hasn't been mean to me, honestly…"

Gabrielle remained skeptical. "Mae, don't bottle things up. It hurts me to see you like this. As Nate's wife, you should never be mistreated in this household."

Mavis was deeply touched.

She was fortunate to have Marius, who treated her like a sister, and Gabrielle, who cared for her like a friend and family member.

Suddenly, the minor grievances Nathaniel had caused seemed less significant.

Fighting back tears, Mavis changed the subject and asked, "I'm so hungry, Gabrielle. Could you pass me the chicken soup?"

"Of course." Gabrielle quickly handed her the bowl from the bedside table. "Be careful, it's hot."

As Mavis sipped the chicken soup, Gabrielle continued talking. "Mae, Nate… seems to have gone to work already. If you really did upset him, he left with a pretty grim look on his face. It doesn't seem like he's cooled off yet."

Mavis could only muster a weak reply, "I'll find a chance to apologize to him later."

"You don't need to be so submissive. Let him stay mad if he wants. I don't believe he can ignore his newlywed wife for long," Gabrielle replied, huffing with indignation.

She tucked the blanket around Mavis, adding, "For now, I'll have the driver take you to work and pick you up afterward."
