Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2043

Nathaniel gently lifted the covers off Callum and pulled down his pajama bottoms.

With the flashlight's aid, he examined the little one's backside.

Fortunately, the marks had faded to pink and were only slightly swollen.

Nathaniel had not been too harsh, and it would heal the next day without needing any medication.

In fact, Nathaniel had it worse.

The bite marks Callum had left on his leg were still bruised and deep.

Callum's tendency to hold grudges and seek revenge was a troubling sign, and he needed to address it sooner or later.

Nathaniel sighed and took out a tube of lotion from his robe pocket, applying a gentle layer to Callum's bottom.

Despite his tender touch, Callum squirmed and muttered in his sleep.

"Daddy," he mumbled, eyes closed, his little mouth moving as he spoke in his dreams, "Sleepy time… Stay…"

Nathaniel grumbled, "You're five and still want me to sleep with you? This bad habit is going to spoil you rotten."

He dressed Callum in his pajamas, tucked him back into bed, and turned to leave.

"Mommy…" Callum murmured in his sleep.

Nathaniel's steps faltered as he turned back to look at his sleeping son.

With a mix of emotions, he decided to settle on the other side of the bed.

The bed was so small that he had to curl up his long legs, but he managed to get Callum into his arms and fell asleep beside him.

…

Callum's face lit up with a big smile as he ate the strawberry and hugged Mildred. "Thank you, Grandma Mildred!"

Steady footsteps echoed from the stairwell.

As he walked over, Nathaniel adjusted his suit and shirt collar, commenting abruptly, "What's the point of buying a remote-controlled car? His room is already overflowing with toys. Grandma, don't spoil him too much."

Callum's smile instantly faded.

Mildred shot Nathaniel a disapproving look and replied kindly, "Callum's piano skills are impressive and deserve praise. It's just a toy car. Every child has their room filled with toys at some point."

Nathaniel calmly said, "I didn't have that many toys when I was a child."

Mildred's expression changed, and she fell silent.

"Callum, Grandma Mildred mentioned that you've been doing well with your piano lately. Why don't you play that piece again?"
