Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 641
Nathanielâs hand, holding the hot tea, paused momentarily. His eyes were hidden underneath his long lashes, making it hard to gauge his emotions,
Sheena pretended not to notice his visibly displeased expression and continued probing, âIn Proania, youâre the fourth son of the Nicholls family, a wealthy and influential clan. What status do you have here? Why should I believe you can really get Clear for me?!
Nathaniel calmly took a sip of tea, set down the cup, and then replied, âItâs true that I have no significant standing here, but my mom is the current kingâs only sister.â
Sheena was taken aback, not expecting him to be so straightforward.
He continued, âYou just arrived and donât understand the situation in Laubabwe. My mom holds an imposing position as the current kingâs sister. As she didnât raise me all these years, she felt guilty, and she promised me one request. Getting my hands on Clear is simply too easy for me.â
Sheena thoughtfully processed this information, commenting, âSo, your mom didnât return to Froania with your dad because sheâs the royal princess, and she couldnât leave?â
Nathanielâs expression grew increasingly serious as he spoke of Kelly, replying, âNo, itâs because she was already engaged at that time.â
Sheena remarked, âIf thatâs the case, your mom has likely been married for years, perhaps with children of her own. While she can make promises to you, her current husband might not easily agree, right?â
Nathanielâs face darkened completely. âI confessed my background to you because youâll eventually marry me, and I wanted to be honest between us. But if youâre trying to get to the bottom of this and sow discord, thereâs no need to continue this topic.â
Sheena was surprised.
Was Nathaniel upset?
It seemed Nathaniel and Kellyâs husband did not have a good relationship.â
Perhaps she could use this to her advantage.
âIf you donât want to answer, thatâs fine,â Sheena said, shifting the topic effortlessly. âIâve never seen a real Europeanâstyle grand palace. What does it look like? Staying cooped up here isnât very interesting. When can you take me for a stroll?â
âNo problem,â Nathaniel responded promptly. âYouâve had a tiring journey today. Rest early, and tomorrow, Iâll arrange for you to visit the palace and meet my mom. Sheâs been eager to meet you ever since she heard weâre getting married.â
The constant mention of marriage irked Sheena.

She promptly ordered him to leave, saying, âItâs getting late, and Iâm sure you have other matters to attend to. I wonât keep you for dinner here,â
âI do have other matters to attend to. Nana, you truly understand me!â Nathaniel smirked, picking up his coat from the sofa. âAnyway, have a good nightâs sleep, and weâll meet tomorrow. Oh, by the way!
Remember to call me Charles.â
Sheena remained silent, showing no intention to accompany him or see him off.
Nathaniel did not expect a more enthusiastic farewell, turning toward the door.
Just a few steps away, he recalled something and turned back with a skeptical look at Sheena.
âI heard from Jamie that you brought a bodyguard. Why havenât I seen him?â
âHeâs traveling abroad for the first time and having a hard time adjusting. Heâs down with stomach issues and throwing up all day. Heâs resting now,â Sheena explained.
Nathaniel nodded thoughtfully.
Sheena poured herself some tea. However, she noticed that Nathaniel not only had not left, but he had also walked back to stand in front of her.
Perplexed, Sheena asked, âWant another couple of cups of tea?â
Nathaniel smiled, slightly bending forward, pointing to his left cheek.
âBefore I go, Iâd like a little parting gift, a kiss from you!â
Sheenaâs gaze instantly turned iceâcold, and a surge of anger burned within her chest. Without hesitation, she emptied the remaining tea from her cup onto his face.
âIs that sobering enough for you? If not, I have a whole pot here! I can even boil some water to help you freshen up!â
Nathaniel did not seem bothered at all; in fact, he appeared to relish it. âTea that you have tasted is fragrant even in its scent!â
His remarks repeatedly tested Sheenaâs patience, and she clenched her fists.
âGet out!â
âSure, Iâm leaving.â Nathaniel took a tissue from the coffee table, wiped the tea stains off his and strolled away casually. âNana, youâre truly a feisty little beauty. Iâm growing fonder of you!â
