"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…"

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
