100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 853  The Last Mission: Who's the Father?

Day Eighty-Nine…

Nathan invited Aiden over to his place. He needed someone to talk to right now. Unfortunately, his other best friend, Stephen, was not available. The two gathered at the second-floor balcony, each of them holding a bottle of beer.

"Nate, who is the charming lady playing with Ethan in the living room? Is she a newly hired babysitter? Can you introduce me to her?" Aiden bombarded Nathan with so many questions. He didn't hide his interest in Jane. He was curious about her. Well, it was in his nature since Aiden was known for being a Cassanova.

Nathan crumpled his face when he heard Aiden's last remarks.

"If you still love your life, you must stay away from her. This is my friendly advice."

Aiden blinked in amusement. "Whoa. Why? She looks harmless to me. Furthermore, she is such a beauty. Where did you find her?"

Aiden kept expressing his admiration for Jane. Because of that, Nathan became annoyed and irritated.

"She's an assassin!"

Aiden chuckled, thinking Nathan was just joking.

"I still like her. Beautiful yet deadly. Haha, I haven't tried dating a woman like that! It will be fun and interesting."

Slam!

Nathan slammed the table using his fists, making Aiden shut his mouth.

"Say more and I'll kick you out of the house!" Nathan warned him.

Aiden just smiled sheepishly while scratching his face. "Alright. I'm just kidding. Don't be so worked up. Why are you so grumpy?"

Aiden moved closer to Nathan, tapping his shoulder. "C'mon. Tell me what's bothering you. It's so rare for you to invite me here."

Nathan drank his beer before replying to Aiden.

"How would you react if someone you hated suddenly claimed that she was your old friend? And the one you used to know was a fake one?"

Aiden fell silent after hearing Nathan's serious question. He took his time before saying a word to his best friend.

"If I were you, I would consider fact-checking first to confirm who is telling the truth. And you should brace yourself and be ready to accept it."

"Even if that person is the one you hate the most," he added.

Nathan sighed deeply. He didn't know if he was ready to accept Phantomflake. He hadn't asked her yet about the proof that would prove her identity as Shining Star.

"So anyway. Who is this person we are talking about?" Aiden asked him curiously. Nathan didn't mention anyone.

Nathan didn't reply. He just turned his gaze to the garden area below them. Two figures went out from the mansion, walking on the footwalk of the garden.

Ethan was pulling Jane toward the bench surrounded by different flowers. He could even hear their peals of laughter.

'My son looks so happy with her. I never saw him laugh like this while playing with Monica.' Nathan thought to himself. For a reason, he felt jealous on behalf of Monica. Ethan was so fond of Jane, instead of Monica.

Aiden stood up from his seat and walked toward the railing of the balcony. He also noticed Jane and Ethan in the garden area.

"What is her name?" Aiden asked Nathan once more. He wondered why his best friend hadn't introduced the woman even though they had run into her in the living room earlier.

Nathan squinted his eyes on Aiden. "Why are you so interested in her?"

"Well. She's so intriguing. And I can see that you are also interested in her with the way you look at her," Aiden replied, teasing him.

"No. I'm not!" Nathan said sternly, denying his accusation.

Aiden chuckled once more. "Oh really? Then why don't you introduce me to her?"

"She's Jane Frost!" Nathan finally revealed her name. "She is friends with Stephen. If you want to know her more then just ask Stephen!"

Aiden's eyes widened when he heard that. "Oh shit! She's Jane Frost! Damn it! I can't flirt with her. I think she's off-limits. I guess… she's the woman who captured Stephen's heart!"

Nathan's expression darkened at his words. 'What? Stephen likes this woman?'

"Are they a couple?" Nathan asked Aiden with his glaring eyes.

But Aiden just shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. We better ask Stephen. By the way, where is he? Why couldn't he make it here?"

"He is doing something for me at this moment. And I trust Stephen more. He will not deceive me just because of a woman."

Nathan believed that the DNA results coming from Stephen would be more credible. Stephen's family owned a private hospital. There was no way his enemy would plant another spy to Stephen's hospital if their target was only Nathan and his mafia organization.

"Of course. You can trust Stephen… but you should trust me more!" Aiden declared shamelessly while laughing.

Nathan just gave him a ridiculous look. "Just drink your beer and stop talking."

After saying that, Nathan brought his attention back to Jane and Ethan. It did not take long before Jane had caught him staring at her.

She smiled at Nathan and waved her hands. "Nate!"

After calling his name, Jane also greeted Aiden. "Aiden!"

Both Aiden and Nathan were surprised when Jane mentioned Aiden's name. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Eh? She knows my name. Ahem… Nate, do you think she has a crush on me and so she asked Ethan about my name?" Aiden chuckled, feeling flattered.

Nathan furrowed his eyebrows when he heard that. For some unknown reason, he hated Aiden's confidence and shamelessness right now.

"Stop daydreaming," Nathan murmured.

But Aiden didn't hear him since his attention was on Jane.

"Miss Jane! Nice meeting you! Do you want to join us here?" Aiden yelled from the second-floor balcony, inviting Jane. He wanted to interact with her and get to know her more.

Because of that, Nathan kicked Aiden's legs from behind. "Ouch! What's wrong, Nate?" "How could you invite her? I never gave you my consent." Nathan scolded Aiden.

"Eh, too late. She's already on her way. Look!"

Nathan facepalmed, squeezing his eyes shut. He had the sudden urge to throw Aiden off the balcony.

After his encounter with Jane inside the guest room, Nathan had been avoiding her. He couldn't face her as he was being reminded of the embarrassing moment in her room.

'Fuck! I'm out of here!'

Nathan decided to leave the balcony. But Aiden stopped him.

"Hey, where do you think you are going? Let's wait for Jane." Aiden held his elbow tightly.

Nathan's face contorted while gritting his teeth. "Let go of my hand," he snarled at him.

Meeting Nathan's deathly glare, Aiden automatically released his elbow. However, Jane had already reached the balcony together with Ethan.

"Hi, Uncle Aiden. Meet my Mommy!" Ethan said enthusiastically, shocking Aiden.

"Mommy? Huh? What do you mean Mommy?" Aiden was confused, darting his gaze back and forth between Ethan and Nathan.

Then his gaze stopped at Nathan, giving him a suspicious look. 'Monica had just died. Did he find his son a new Mommy already?'

"Here we go again," Nathan mumbled, rubbing the space in between his eyebrows.

"Yes. I'm Ethan's biological mother." Jane also spoke up, supporting Ethan's claim.

Aiden's jaw dropped, eyeing her with disbelief. "Damn! If you are Ethan's mother… then who is the real father? Nathan or Stephen?!" Aiden asked exasperatedly.

Jane: "..."

Nathan: "..."

'Dumbo, Uncle Aiden!' Ethan facepalmed.
