Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1839

Adora bounced up and down excitedly, her little feet stomping in anticipation.

She took a bite of the candied fruit and found it to be a simple combination of sweet and sour, the classic taste of a candied treat.

Nonetheless, since Elliot said it was something special, it must be special.

She eagerly nudged Asher to try some too.

The four of them shared a sweet, happy moment together, enjoying their time as a family.

…

On the other side of the city, Mavis was back at work, but her mind was far from her tasks.

All she could think about was the morning she spent in Nathaniel's arms, waking up together.

Mildred had gone to great lengths to bring them together, but love could not be forced or faked.

Nathaniel's indifference was clear, and Mavis could not bring herself to beg for his affection, nor did she want to coerce him into a relationship he did not desire.

…

That night, they continued to share the same blanket and slept in the same bed.

Mavis lay in bed, and Nathaniel mindfully kept a distance from her.

For some reason, the cool air in the room made the space between them even more noticeable.

The weather had grown colder, and as the night wore on, the temperature dropped.

Initially, Mavis did not want to pull the blanket over herself, but she found herself shivering in the chill.

In her drowsy state, she unconsciously moved closer to Nathaniel for warmth.

Half-asleep and feeling the warmth from Mavis, Nathaniel instinctively reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her waist without letting go.

Mavis was jolted awake by the sudden contact, and her heart raced as she wondered if this was appropriate.

She wrestled with her emotions for a long time, trying to decide whether to push him away or let herself enjoy the warmth.

In the end, she chose to let go of her resistance.

Deep down, despite the heartache, she found comfort in his touch.

As she settled into his embrace, sleep overtook her once more, and she slipped into a long, strange dream.
