Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2048

"But Daddy…" Callum started to protest.

"No buts. If you're okay with getting a stomachache and having to get a shot, go ahead. But don't come crying to me."

Callum's face fell immediately.

He dreaded the thought of getting a shot. It would leave him limping for days and was extremely painful.

He definitely did not want that!

"Okay, no shrimp tonight. Can I have a chicken wing instead?"

Nathaniel nodded, placing a fried chicken wing on Callum's plate and wiping the sauce dribbling down the boy's chin with a napkin.

Mildred watched as Nathaniel carefully tended to Callum, feeling a sense of contentment seeing him so attentive.

"Enjoy your dinner. I'm full and going to take a stroll in the garden to help with digestion."

After that, she took the butler's arm for support and left the dining room with her cane.

Meanwhile, at E&S Haven, Sheena and her family were enjoying their dinner.

During their casual conversation, Sheena asked, "Adora, what's your impression of Callum?"

Adora swallowed her bite of delicious food and thought for a moment.

"Beanie is just so sweet and innocent. He's very well-behaved and clingy. He's adorable. The best part is he listens to me, and I love playing with him."

Who could resist such a cute little bundle of joy?

Asher scoffed. "Those are just excuses. You're just smitten by his looks and those eyes of his."

Adora openly admitted, "Yes, his eyes are beautiful, and he's really adorable. He'll definitely be a handsome guy when he grows up. It's only natural that I like looking at him."

Asher's expression remained unchanged. "He's only five. There's a good chance he won't turn out so well as he grows up. Besides, Nathaniel's son isn't likely to be anything special."

"Asher, I understand you are biased against Uncle Nate, but Beanie is Beanie, and Uncle Nate is Uncle Nate. I think…"

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was soon Callum's fifth birthday.

Over the years, Nathaniel had never missed a birthday dinner for his son, and Sheena also made it a point to give Callum different birthday gifts each year.

Nathaniel was examining a beautifully wrapped gift box in his office.

It was the birthday present he had prepared for Callum—a custom remote-controlled car.

A few days earlier, Mildred had mentioned rewarding Callum with a new remote-controlled car, which had greatly excited Callum.

Although Nathaniel had not agreed then, he made a mental note of it.

After making sure everything was perfect with the gift, Nathaniel sealed the gift box and headed to the conference room for a scheduled meeting.

The meeting lasted an hour and a half, ending at 3 p.m.

Tommy hurriedly entered the room and whispered urgently, "Mrs. Nicholls, Mr. Callum's teacher just called. She said that something happened at school today."
