Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2028

"Thank you for sharing your dream, Nana. I'll consider carefully whether to add a middle name for the baby," Nathaniel said, his tone thoughtful.

Sheena did not push him to make an immediate decision. "Just think it over. I'm going to check on Asher now."

She turned and walked away, giving Elliot a disapproving glance as she rounded the corner.

Elliot followed dutifully, waiting until they were out of Nathaniel's sight before reaching for Sheena's hand.

"Nana, don't be upset. It's not that I don't trust you," he explained.

It was clear he did not trust Nathaniel.

Sheena pinched his handsome face and scolded, "The head of the National Investigation Bureau should not be sneaking around like this. You need to be properly disciplined."

Elliot did not shy away but leaned closer. "It's been a while since I've had a lesson from you. Adora will be heading back to her training tonight, and I can drop Asher off at Lionel's. How about we have some time to ourselves?"

Sheena gave him a sharp poke on the forehead.

"You're so shameless!"

…

Nathaniel was still pondering the baby's name as he walked back to the garden, but a sudden cry from Adora broke his thoughts.

She had fallen at the edge of the red carpet.

Nathaniel hurried over and saw Callum sprawled on top of Adora, babbling away while Adora frowned.

She was rubbing the back of her head, clearly in pain from the fall.

"Adora!" Nathaniel rushed forward, gently lifting Callum off her and helping Adora up. "Let me see if you're hurt."

Adora shook her head and pointed at Callum.

"Uncle Nate, I'm fine. Beanie…"

Before she could finish, Nathaniel's face hardened.

He firmly grabbed Callum by the collar and swiftly gave the little boy two swats on his round little bottom.

Callum whimpered, too startled by Nathaniel's sudden anger to even cry.

After steadying himself, he turned his gaze away from Callum and placed a hand on Adora's shoulder.

"Adora, I'm sorry. I acted impulsively without fully understanding the situation. I won't be so hasty next time."

Adora, however, was unyielding.

"Uncle Nate, why are you apologizing to me? Beanie is the one who got wronged. You should apologize to him."

Nathaniel lowered his eyes, looking a bit awkward.

"Callum won't be mad at me. I'll make it up to him later."

In his world, fathers would never apologize to their sons.

Adora disagreed. "Uncle Nate, Beanie's not angry because he loves you. But in this situation, he's the innocent one who got blamed. It's more sincere to apologize directly than just trying to make it up to him."

She tilted her head, eyeing Nathaniel with curiosity, and asked, "Uncle Nate, are you finding it hard to apologize to Beanie?"

Nathaniel chuckled awkwardly.
