Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1859

It was only when Mavis saw Sheena that her eyes brightened up slightly.

"Sheena, you're here! Would you like something to drink?"

Even though they were in a cafe, Mavis only had a glass of warm water beside her.

Sheena raised her hand to the server and said, "Two iced Americanos, please."

"Just one is fine. I'm not drinking coffee. I'm fine with warm water," Mavis quickly stopped her.

Seeing Sheena's surprised look, Mavis took a deep breath and gently rubbed her belly. "Sheena, I… I'm pregnant."

Sheena stared at her for a moment, stunned.

"When did you find out?"

"Three days ago. I went to the hospital for a check-up. I'm only 45 days along, still at an early stage of pregnancy. It was actually thanks to Asher and Adora. While I was picking them up from their parent-teacher conference, Adora insisted on having durian, and just the thought of that smell made me feel nauseous."

Sheena almost guessed the rest of the story.

She chuckled and asked, "Did Asher and Adora suggest you might be pregnant and urge you to get checked?"

Mavis nodded. "They're such smart kids. Even though they're young, they seem like little adults. If it weren't for them, I might still be in the dark."

As she spoke, Mavis's eyes glistened. However, it was hard to tell if she was pleasantly surprised to learn the news or sad.

She took a sip of water, trying to calm her complicated emotions.

Sheena noticed every detail of Mavis's struggle.

She shook her head and sighed. "You always keep everything to yourself, thinking you can handle it alone. It doesn't help to keep your frustrations bottled up. You should let him know how you feel."

Mavis gave a bitter smile and shook her head. "What good would that do? It won't solve anything. His heart isn't with me anymore, and I'm powerless to change that. This situation has become a knot that I just can't untangle."

"How are you so sure about it?" Sheena questioned back, sounding disappointed.

Mavis did not respond, clenching the glass so tightly that her knuckles started to turn white.

Sheena glanced at her and pressed on, "Are you just going to continue hurting yourself?"

Mavis stuttered, "I… I wanted to talk to him that day, and I happened to be outside his study. I overheard him on the phone with Kristen, the same Kristen from before. I didn't realize they were still in touch, or that… he had even been secretly sending her gifts."
