Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1986

Mavis covered her belly with the blanket, looking at Nathaniel warily.

Nathaniel sighed.

For once, he refrained from getting angry as he remembered the doctor's and Sheena's advice.

He picked up the soup again, stirring it gently as his tone softened.

"I can overlook the issues regarding this child. Just stop being so difficult. Come back to the Nicholls residence with me and rest."

His expression darkened slightly, but Mavis could not see his emotions as he had his head lowered.

After a few minutes, he continued, "I'll raise this child as my own, providing him with the best education and the most privileged life. No one will ever know his true origins."

Mavis found his words deeply ironic.

If he had bothered to investigate, he would have discovered how long she had been pregnant, the child's real origins, and that she had lied out of spite.

The only reason her belly seemed smaller than usual was her poor nutrition, which made her look thinner.

However, Nathaniel did not care about her at all and was convinced the child was not his.

The realization disappointed her.

Despite knowing better than to hope for anything, Mavis still felt a pang of sadness.

"Nathaniel, do you think you're amazing just because you said that? Accepting a child you dislike just to keep me… Does that make you feel like a saint?"

Nathaniel stared at her in silence.

She smiled bitterly and continued, "The best thing you could do is agree to the divorce and cut all ties with me. That way, this child and I will have no connection to you, and you won't feel so bothered."

Nathaniel's eyes grew colder, and he immediately replied, "That's not going to happen."

Then, he stood up to leave.

Mavis quickly grabbed his wrist, pleading, "What will it take for you to let me go? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have come after you. Let's pretend those five years were a waste, and I regret it deeply. Can you just let it go?"

He frowned, feeling a sharp pang of annoyance.

"You're too emotional right now. The doctor said this could harm the baby. Calm down."
