Chapter 859  The Last Mission: Teasing Him

Day Ninety…

"Stephen, are you free today? Can I ask you a favor?" Jane suddenly asked Stephen when she recalled that she had to do something.

"Yes, of course. What do you need? Just tell me." Stephen couldn't say no to Jane. He was willing to accommodate her request.

"I need to visit someone. But I don't think Nathan will allow me to leave without someone guarding me. He might think I might run away or something. Will you accompany me?"

Jane wanted to see Abigail today. She couldn't let her innocent sister become a victim of Monica's scheme. She needed to do something before it happened.

"Okay. I'll accompany you. Shall we go?"

"Steph, wait. Let me say goodbye to Ethan and Nathan first. Let's inform them that we are going somewhere." Jane suggested.

"Alright. Let's try. But I don't think Nathan will listen to us. He just kicked us out of his study room." Stephen scratched his face as he recalled Nathan fuming in rage.

Jane just let out a soft giggle. "You are right. Then, I should inform Ethan. Then let's ask my son to relay our message to his daddy."

"Good idea!" Stephen subconsciously patted Jane's head.

The two of them were still clueless that Nathan was silently observing them from the glass window of his study.

Stephen and Jane went inside the mansion, heading to Ethan's playroom. Upon reaching the room, Jane gently knocked on the door.

"Ethan, it's me. Can I enter?"

"Yes, Mommy! Please come in!" Ethan replied enthusiastically.

Jane pushed the door open as they entered the room. Ethan, who was playing a video game, suddenly placed the console down and ran to her.

"Mommy, are you done talking with Dad? Did he believe you?" Ethan asked her expectantly. Jane just smiled awkwardly. She didn't know if Nathan finally believed her but it looked like he was still angry at her.

"Your Dad is a bit stubborn. But don't worry. He is going to accept the truth slowly." Jane reassured her son.

Ethan nodded. "Hi, Uncle Stephen. You are also here!" Ethan approached Stephen and hugged him.

Stephen hugged him back, ruffling his hair. "Hi, Ethan. Can I borrow your mother today? We are going somewhere."

Ethan darted her gaze back and forth between Stephen and Jane. "My Daddy is not coming along? He might get jealous."

Jane didn't know whether to cry or laugh at his statement. She thought that, in Nathan's current state, there was no way he would get jealous.

Meanwhile, Stephen smiled awkwardly. He didn't also think of the possibility that Nathan would get jealous. Besides, he and Jane were just good friends.

"Nathan won't misunderstand our relationship, will he?" Stephen pondered.

"Come, Mommy and Uncle. Let's invite Daddy. I want to come with you as well!" Ethan grabbed their hands, pulling them toward Nathan's study room.

Jane and Stephen could only exchange glances while following Ethan. It did not take long before the three of them stood in front of Nathan's study room.

Knock! Knock!

After knocking, Ethan was the one who spoke among them.

"Dad, it's me, Ethan. Mommy and Uncle Stephen are planning to go out. I'm going with them. Do you want to join us?"

There was no response from the inside. Jane and Stephen believed that Nathan was not in the mood to entertain them right now.

"Ethan, I don't think your Daddy will go with us. He is busy right now." Jane held Ethan's shoulders.

"Since we already informed him, we can leave now, together with your Uncle Stephen."

Jane had just finished her words when suddenly the door of the study room was pulled open and Nathan came into their view. Nathan was still wearing his dark expression.

Jane locked gaze with Nathan. "Hi, Nate. Are you coming with us?" She asked him, smiling awkwardly. Nathan still looked mad at her. He didn't even glance at Stephen. It seemed that he was also upset with his best friend.

"I can't allow you to bring Ethan with you," Nathan sternly said.

Ethan pouted when he heard that. "But Dad! I want to come with Mommy. I don't want to be separated from her!" The little boy complained.

Jane had already anticipated this. She didn't want to argue with Nathan so she decided to talk to Ethan.

"Baby, listen to your father. I'll return as soon as possible. Your Uncle Stephen and I will just go out quickly. I'll buy you something you want along the way." Jane consoled Ethan.

'She will go out with Stephen… alone?' Nathan's expression turned darker at that thought.

Nathan shifted his gaze to Stephen who smiled at him.

"Where are you going?" Nathan asked them in his cold tone.

"I'm going to visit my sister," Jane responded honestly.

Both Nathan and Stephen were surprised. They didn't know that Jane had a sister.

"Are you referring to your comrades?" Nathan asked her again, frowning.

But Jane shook her head. "No. Not them. It's my blood sister. My family!"

There was a moment of silence. Then after a while, Nathan grabbed Ethan's hand and said, "Let's go."

He pulled Ethan as they walked ahead without looking at Jane and Stephen.

Meanwhile, Stephen and Jane looked at Nathan confusedly.

"Eh? What is the meaning of that? Is he coming with us?" Jane asked Stephen in disbelief.

Also, surprised, Stephen shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I think so." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jane blinked in amusement as they followed Nathan and Ethan from behind. She didn't expect that Nathan would tag along with them.

On the other hand, Ethan looked happy since his father decided to come with them. As they walked toward the car, Ethan whispered to his father.

"Dad, are you jealous of Uncle Stephen?"

The crease on Nathan's forehead deepened when confronted by his son's question.

"Of course not. Why would I get jealous of him?" He blatantly denied it.

"Because my Mommy is very close to Uncle Stephen. You are looking dagger at Uncle Stephen earlier." Ethan giggled as he teased his father.

"No. I didn't. You just imagined it," Nathan kept on denying it. But Ethan won't believe him.

"Daddy, you should guard Mommy otherwise, many men will try to pursue her. She is so beautiful and smart. I don't want her to be pursued by other guys, except you!" Ethan was trying to play Cupid right now.

Nathan didn't say a word. He just crumpled his face.

Soon, the four of them reached the car. Stephen suddenly became the driver of the family of three since Ethan made Jane and Nathan sit at the back passenger with him. Nathan didn't complain about their current seating arrangement. He just remained silent, looking through the car window.

Jane could feel the awkward atmosphere inside the car and she felt sorry for Stephen who suddenly became a family driver.

To break the silence, Stephen decided to start a conversation with Jane, glancing at her from time to time through the rearview mirror.

"Where does your sister reside?" Stephen talked about Jane's sister.

"She is currently living in an apartment together with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend is a police officer." Jane couldn't but smile as she looked forward to meeting Abigail and Dave.

"I didn't know that you have a sister. You didn't tell me before."

"Well, when we were in Country Z, I didn't know about her existence," Jane responded truthfully.

Nathan arched his eyebrow as he listened to their conversation. He could only assume that Stephen and Jane really had a close relationship. He became more curious as to why Stephen became Jane's doctor. 'Why did she need a psychologist like Stephen? Was she traumatized by something?'

Unknown to Nathan, he had become intrigued by Jane's backstory. Phantomflake was known for being a fierce woman, so he couldn't believe that this strong-willed woman had once sought Stephen's help as her psychologist.

'What happened in the past?' Nathan asked himself inwardly, stealing a glance at Jane.

As he mulled over Jane's backstory, Nathan began scanning his memory. 'How did I end up sleeping with her? I still can't believe that she is Ethan's biological mother. And she is Shining Star. I don't know how I will interact with her in the following days.'

When Jane turned to Nathan's direction, she caught him staring at her. Nathan immediately looked away, hiding his embarrassment.

Jane could only smile at him. 'Hmm. I don't know what is running in his mind right now. But I will still do my best to pursue him.'

With a playful grin on her face, Jane leaned over and whispered something to Ethan.

After listening to his mother, Ethan turned to Nathan who was now looking through the car window. He gently tugged the sleeve of Nathan's shirt to catch his attention.

"Dad," he called out, making Nathan look at him.

"Yes, Ethan?"

Ethan smiled mischievously before moving closer to Nathan and planting a soft kiss on his cheek. Afterward, he whispered, "Mommy said she wanted to kiss you, so I did… on her behalf."

Nathan's cheeks flushed instantly. He glanced over at Jane, who sat there smiling while feigning innocence in her seat.

'Damn. She's a temptress.'
