Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2130

"Mommy wouldn't do that; she just wouldn't!" Callum insisted.

"Remember that guy Evan she mentioned last time?"

The driver sensed the tension and nervously glanced at the father and son in the rearview mirror.

Callum nodded, recalling the conversation.

"Of course, I remember. Mommy said he's a good friend, a funny guy she wants me to meet someday."

Nathaniel's tone was skeptical. "She says he's just a friend, and you believe her?"

"I do! Mommy wouldn't lie to me!"

Nathaniel nearly laughed at Callum's innocent logic, turning his gaze out the window in exasperation.

However, Callum was not finished and added, "Even though I haven't spent much time with Mommy, she's always kept her promises to me. No matter how hard things got, she never let me down. If she says Evan is just a friend, then I believe her.

"But, Daddy, can you tell me what your relationship with Ms. Sullivan really is? Are you just friends, or is she an ex-girlfriend? You promised me once you'd keep your distance from her. Did you really do that? Have you stayed away from her?"

Nathaniel's frown deepened. "I say one thing, and you have ten more to say back. Now you're trying to lecture me?"

Callum's shoulders slumped, his voice growing quieter.

"I wouldn't dare lecture you, Daddy. You've told me enough times—grown-up stuff is for grown-ups. I get it."

He felt a pang of sadness.

Mavis respected and adored him, and she always made him feel like he was smart and capable.

Yet, with Nathaniel, it was different.

It seemed like he could never quite measure up, always falling short, no matter how hard he tried.

That feeling of not being good enough had weighed on him for a long time.
