Mildred shook her head and sighed as she turned to leave.
Nathaniel felt a deep unease.
After Mavis left, he moved back to the Nicholls residence.
He had initially moved out to avoid her, but she was already gone, and it was time to return.
Instead of resting in the study, Nathaniel settled into his own room.
However, he felt an overwhelming emptiness as he sat in the room.
The familiar surroundings reminded him of the times he had shared with Mavis.
Despite her efforts to erase all traces of herself, leaving even the closet spotless, Nathaniel felt her presence everywhere.
It was as if she had never left.
Dreams always had to come to an end, and the reality was that when he opened his eyes, she would not be there.
Every corner of the vast Nicholls residence seemed to remind him of Mavis.
At night, Nathaniel often dreamed of Mavis.
In his dreams, she would ask him painfully, "Why didn't you believe me? Why did you choose Kristen over me?"
He would wake up abruptly, feeling like a stranger in his own home.
…
The next day at the office, Nathaniel was bombarded with documents.
When Tommy brought in another stack, he cautiously observed Nathaniel's expression.
Nathaniel noticed Tommy staring and asked coldly, "Is there something on my face?"
Tommy shook his head. "No, Mr. Nicholls. It's just that you haven't looked well lately. Please take care of yourself."
Nathaniel nodded, handing the signed documents back to Tommy.
Tommy said no more and turned to leave.
"Wait," Nathaniel called out.
After briefly hesitating, he said, "Grandma is visiting our relatives today. Send someone to the Nicholls residence to move my things back here. Don't mention it to anyone."

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
