Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 684

Chapter 684 

Two crisp slaps echoed loudly in the room. 

Nathaniel was jolted awake, finally releasing her robe from his grip as he sat up on the sofa. 

Rubbing his throbbing head and stinging cheeks, he looked up at Sheena, still in a daze. 

“Nana?” 

Sheena raised her chin coldly, her eyes fixed on him without a hint of sympathy. 

“You barged into my place in the middle of the night and disturbed my sleep! Now that you’re awake, get out!” 

Nathaniel lowered his head, seemingly ignoring her words. Suddenly, he started sobbing softly. 

His tear–filled, helpless blue eyes met Sheena’s gaze, and his face bore the imprints of her slaps. 

Sheena observed his tearful display without a flicker of emotion. 

“Stop pretending! Just leave. Your stench fills the air, and no air freshener can mask it!” 

With a hint of disgust in her eyes, she turned to leave, but Nathaniel grabbed onto her robe again. 

“Nana, do you remember seven years ago? In spring, I took you to the field for horse racing. In summer, I jumped into the pond to pick lotus flowers for you. In autumn, I taught you archery and target shooting. In winter, we built snowmen and had snowball fights. Back then, we were carefree…”

you waited a bit longer, a few more years, I would return after rising to the top of the Special Investigation Department, and we could finally get married once I returned, but…” 

Nathaniel’s voice choked, and he cried uncontrollably. 

For years, he had silently borne all the pain alone, never displaying such heartbreak in front of others. 

“But I never expected you to encounter trouble the next year and end up in Farlem, even falling in love with Elliot! I regret it so much! I regret not holding onto you tighter back then! Why did I let go!” 

Countless images of bygone days flashed before Sheena’s eyes. 

Sheena sighed silently. 

“Once you missed the chance, it’s gone. There’s no way to go back. Life is about moving forward, yet you willingly got stuck in a dead–end, refusing to see things differently.” 

She stood quietly in place, listening to him pour out his feelings. 

“Didn’t Elliot miss the chance at first? Why can you forgive him but not me?
