Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2249

Evan recalled Mavis telling him that she could never completely break ties with Nathaniel, and it still felt like an invisible thorn in his heart.

Mavis was unsure how to explain, so she changed the subject.

"That's not important. Just focus on getting better. Oh, I bought your favorite food on the way here. I waited in line for ages, so you better eat up."

Evan could tell she was avoiding the subject but pretended he did not notice to avoid upsetting her.

The atmosphere between them seemed harmonious on the surface, but internally, they were wrestling with their thoughts.

In the adjacent VIP room, Nathaniel was questioning Troy with a serious expression.

"You saw her personally bringing breakfast to Evan's room?"

He thought their relationship had improved after they napped together yesterday. Moreover, he had arranged for Evan to be on this floor close to his ward. Yet, Mavis still chose to see Evan first.

It seemed Evan's matters were still more important to her than he was.

"Yeah, I specifically arranged for that guy's room to be next door so we could keep an eye on… I mean, so we could better care for him!" Troy grumbled indignantly.

He had worked until midnight to arrange Evan's room transfer.

It was so complicated because Nathaniel wanted to avoid any potential blame, insisting that Troy personally witness Evan sleeping in the VIP ward before leaving.

Nathaniel's face darkened with obvious irritation, making Troy hesitant to approach.

"Mr. Nicholls, Evan is still an outsider, after all. Mrs. Nicholls probably needs to keep up with her image in front of outsiders. I'm sure she'll come to see you once she's done with that!"

Only then did Nathaniel's expression soften slightly.

Ten minutes passed, and Mavis did not come.

Twenty more minutes went by, and still no Mavis.

After a full hour of waiting, not only had Mavis not shown up, but there had not been a single knock on the door.

Troy nervously tapped his finger on the armrest, growing more anxious with each passing second.

"Didn't you say she would definitely come?"

Nathaniel's low, questioning tone nearly made Troy jump out of his skin. Without looking up, he could guess how intimidating Nathaniel's expression must have been at that moment.
