Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2098

The colorful tracks on the playground were ready for the day's events, and the kids were lined up in neat rows, eagerly waiting for their parents to arrive.

As the minutes passed, parents started arriving at the kindergarten.

Callum would stand on his tiptoes every time someone came in, hoping to spot Nathaniel, whose presence always outshone the other fathers.

However, each time, it was not Nathaniel.

He was growing increasingly anxious and nervous.

After half an hour, most of the other kids' parents had arrived, leaving Callum and a few others holding the principal's hand, still waiting.

He could not stand it any longer. The feeling of looking for someone in the crowd and being disappointed repeatedly was too much.

He let go of the principal's hand and ran out of the kindergarten, ignoring the voices calling after him.

He kept running until one of the bodyguards, who had been hiding nearby, stepped out and stopped him.

"Mr. Callum, where are you going?"

Callum grabbed the bodyguard's sleeve, asking, "Where's Daddy? Did he get stuck in traffic? Can you call him?"

The bodyguard naturally had to fulfill his request. "Don't worry, just wait a moment."

He made the call, but Callum was too short to hear what was being said on the other end, and all he could hear were the bodyguard's responses.

"Yes, sir… Understood. Got it, Mr. Nicholls."

When the call ended, the bodyguard crouched down to Callum's level and explained, "Mr. Callum, Mr. Nicholls has a very important emergency. He might not be able to make it today. How about I join you for the event?"

Callum slowly released the grip on the bodyguard's sleeve, feeling his heart sink with disappointment.

"Did Daddy… not get the invitation for the parent-child sports day?"

"I'm sure Mr. Nicholls received it," the bodyguard replied.

However, he soon realized his mistake and quickly added, "Maybe… Maybe he just got so busy that he forgot. You know, Mr. Nicholls has a lot of responsibilities managing the entire company and the family's affairs. He's really, really busy. Could you try to understand him, just this once?"

Callum bit his lip and asked, "Is Asher's school having a sports day too?"

The bodyguard immediately understood. "Don't worry about it, Mr. Callum. If Mr. Asher needed anything, Mr. Jenkins or the others would handle it, and Tommy just confirmed that Mr. Nicholls is at the office."
