Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2088

Mavis bent down and gently kissed Callum on the forehead.

"We'll meet again. I promise."

Noah reminded her to put on her wig and colored contacts and then checked his watch once more.

"It's time to go," he said.

Just like when they arrived, the two of them exited the room, one after the other, without arousing the slightest suspicion from the bodyguards.

By the time Nathaniel returned from the National Investigation Bureau, Mavis had already returned to her hotel, and they did not cross paths again.

…

After being hospitalized for three days, Callum's emotions finally stabilized.

He was finally discharged on the fourth day, which was also when he finally saw Nathaniel, who had been absent for days.

When Callum saw him, he was unusually calm. However, his little mouth was slightly pouting, hinting at some displeasure.

There were no outbursts or extreme reactions, and Nathaniel finally felt a sense of relief.

As he picked up a small jacket and was ready to help Callum put it on, Callum shook his head, refusing the help.

"No, thank you. I'm a big boy now, and a good, big boy doesn't need his Daddy to dress him. I can do it myself."

After the kidnapping, it seemed like Callum had become a bit more independent.

Nathaniel felt proud and handed over the jacket, watching Callum put it on himself.

Nonetheless, Mildred could tell at a glance that Callum was still upset, and the bond between father and son had become strained.

She gently suggested, "Nate, why don't you carry Callum downstairs? Let's see if he's gotten any heavier these past few days."

Before Nathaniel could respond, Callum jumped from the bed and ran over to Mildred, extending his hand.

"Grandma Mildred, I want you to hold my hand."

The message was clear. He did not want Nathaniel to carry him.

Mildred and Nathaniel exchanged a glance, both feeling a little helpless.

Not long after, the family's luxury car pulled up in front of the Nicholls residence, and everyone finally arrived home.

Callum, who had grown tired of the hospital's antiseptic smell, thought even the grass in the garden smelled sweet.

Instead of replying to her, he took Callum's hand and headed toward the house.

Tiffany was a little disappointed. "Madam Nicholls, it seems Nate still hasn't forgiven me after all these years. He doesn't seem too thrilled to see me."

As gracious as ever, Mildred treated Tiffany like a guest and entertained her on Nathaniel's behalf.

She smiled and said, "Don't mind him, Tiffany. That's just how he is, and always has been. It's nothing personal. Come on in and have some tea."

As they walked through the garden, Callum clutched his teddy bear in one hand while Nathaniel held the other.

He kept glancing back at Tiffany.

He did not recognize her, and it was the first time he had seen her.

However, it was clear to him that she and Nathaniel were familiar with each other, and there was something odd about their interactions.

"Watch where you're going, not on what's behind you. Watch out for the steps," Nathaniel scolded softly.

"Okay," Callum replied, pouting.

Still curious, he asked, "Daddy, who's that lady? Why does she talk to you like you're so close?"
