If it were just doing it for Nathaniel's sake, Mavis did not want to agree.
However, it involved Sheena, who had helped her a lot…
And besides, Asher really liked her, and she could not bear to see him suffering.
"Oh, Mae, this isn't a big deal," Gabrielle's voice suddenly rang out, almost making Mavis jump.
Gabrielle had been listening from the side for a while and finally understood why Nathaniel had come back.
"Mae, you know well how Asher is. That kid is as stubborn as they come. Nate must be at his wit's end. Just go with him to see Asher. I'll join you! Asher has had congenital heart disease since he was little, and he's so frail. My heart aches for him."
Despite Gabrielle's persuasion, Mavis still did not agree immediately.
She was hesitating.
She could visit Asher on her own. She did not have to go with Nathaniel.
After all, she would have to pretend nothing had happened between her and Nathaniel if they were to face Sheena and the others.
The rift between them was real.
Seeing Mavis's reluctance, Gabrielle quickly signaled to Nathaniel.
Nathaniel caught her glance and, after a long pause, said, "Let's go see Asher together, okay?"
This time, his eyes were not cold but filled with a hint of hope and pleading, and Mavis found it hard to refuse.
Finally, she relented, "Fine."
With Mavis's agreement, Gabrielle sighed in relief and took her hand, leading her toward the door.
"Mae, did you know…"
Gabrielle kept talking non-stop, and Mavis felt less awkward and gradually relaxed with her presence.
Nathaniel drove them himself, focusing on the road but occasionally joining in the conversation.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
