Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1856

Fortunately, Mavis quickly handed Mildred a glass of water, helping her calm down and reminding her to breathe.

She gently patted Mildred's back, soothing her, "Grandma, don't get so worked up. It's not worth risking your health. And Nate, didn't you say you had work to do? You should head to the study."

It was clear she was trying to defuse the situation.

Nathaniel knew there was no point in arguing further, so he left the table without another word.

After he left, Mildred seemed like she wanted to say more but held back.

Instead, she patted Mavis's hand, saying, "Mae, you've been through so much."

Mavis shook her head with a smile. "It's alright, Grandma. We'll sort out our issues ourselves. Your health is of higher priority."

Gabrielle could not help but mutter, "Nate is so clueless. How could he not see what a wonderful wife Mae is? It's hard to find someone like her. Why is he…"

Noticing Mildred's growing anger, Gabrielle stopped herself from saying more.

Ultimately, they were just onlookers, and only Mavis knew how hurtful the situation was.

…

Far away, Sheena was still at work when she received a call from Mavis.

Despite Mavis trying to mask her emotions, Sheena could tell she was upset.

"Did Nathaniel give you a hard time again?" Sheena asked.

Mavis remained silent.

Sheena sighed. "Mae, is this about what happened before?"

Mavis decided to tell Sheena the truth, recounting the incident where they had drunk too much and ended up sleeping together.

Sheena was at a loss for words. She had thought Nathaniel was simply confused about his feelings, but she had not expected him to avoid responsibility after sleeping together.

"Sheena, I just needed someone to talk to. Keeping it all inside is suffocating. I think I need to handle our issues on my own," Mavis said, trying to sound calm even though she was on the verge of breaking down.

She did not want anyone to see how vulnerable she was.
