Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1771

Kristen looked at the night sky and said sweetly, "Let's go back. You should leave in the morning. You don't belong here. Don't let me hold you back."

Nathaniel said nothing and simply followed her back to the small, rustic house.

Agatha had already left, leaving the room in darkness.

Kristen lit a small kerosene lamp and explained, "The wind has been strong lately, and the power lines around here are unstable. To prevent accidents, we cut the power at night."

As the lamp burned, the unpleasant smell of kerosene filled the room, and Nathaniel could not help but frown.

Kristen noticed and chuckled. "The environment is harsh, isn't it? You probably haven't seen a kerosene lamp before."

Then, she continued, "My grandma told me my grandpa made this lamp as a gift for her. Back in their day, a simple lamp was the best gift one could give."

Kristen pulled out a box from an old wardrobe, its lock indicating it held something precious.

She took a necklace off her neck and used the tiny key to unlock the box. Inside were a few yellowed photographs and a carefully preserved white shirt.

"My grandpa was a soldier and had many uniforms, but this shirt is the only one left. This is a photo of my grandparents' first meeting, this one is from when I was born, and this…"

Kristen earnestly showed Nathaniel the family photos, but his thoughts drifted elsewhere.

They talked late into the night about the past and the future until Kristen could no longer keep her eyes open.

The next morning, Nathaniel left the small fishing village after breakfast.

As he headed back to Froania, Mavis had landed in Froania.

This time, she had informed the Nicholls family of her arrival in advance.

When Gabrielle received the news, she immediately sent the driver to pick Mavis up from the airport.

However, the first thing Mavis did upon landing was head straight to the office to see if Nathaniel had returned.

As she walked into the building, the employees she encountered could not hide their surprise.
