Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1995

Nathaniel's sudden shout startled Mavis, causing her to nearly cut her delicate skin with the knife she had been holding against her wrist.

Reacting quickly, Nathaniel grabbed the knife and flung it across the room toward the door.

The bodyguards were alerted by the commotion and cautiously peeked in.

Nathaniel ordered, "From now on, sharp objects are not to be allowed in Mrs. Nicholls's room."

"Yes, Mr. Nicholls," the bodyguards responded promptly, retrieving the knife from the floor.

Mavis remained silent, her gaze falling on Nathaniel's hand.

The knife had left a shallow cut on his palm from when he had grabbed it.

Nathaniel turned to Mavis, his voice soft but firm as he asked, "Why did you have the knife? What were you trying to do?"

She responded coldly, "I was just bored being alone and was playing around. It's none of your business."

"As your legal husband, I have the right to know what you're doing," Nathaniel replied sternly.

Mavis shot back without hesitation, "Yes, you have the right to know, but that doesn't give you the right to restrict my freedom or take away my phone."

Nathaniel knew he was in the wrong here.

"I just want you to focus on your pregnancy and stay safe. I don't want to hurt you."

Mavis glared at him.

She was uninterested in continuing the conversation and turned back to her bed.

Nathaniel glanced at the small cut on his palm, ignoring it as he sat by her bedside.

Sheena's words and the doctor's diagnosis of prenatal depression echoed in his mind, making him feel uneasy.

Trying to hide his discomfort, Nathaniel asked Mavis about something else, "You've never mentioned your family before. Are they… doing well?"

Mavis's expression remained neutral as she responded briefly, "They're fine."
