100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 854: The Last Mission: Sleeping Together

Day Eighty-Nine…

Both Nathan and Jane glared at Aiden when he asked them a very ridiculous question. Of course, Nathan was the father, no one else!

"Uncle Aiden. Are you drunk already? You are not thinking straight." Ethan put his hands on the side of his waist.

Aiden immediately hit his mouth realizing his mistake. "Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I'm just confused. Just a few days ago, Monica was Ethan's mother. And now, someone else is claiming she is his mother."

"Then I also heard that you were close to Stephen," he added, smiling sheepishly "I thought you and him–" he shut his mouth the moment he met Nathan's sharp gaze.

"Sir, Lady Veronica is here," Butler Li's voice was heard from behind. He informed them about Veronica's arrival.

Veronica and Jane met each other gaze instantly. Veronica frowned upon seeing a new face, especially a woman.

"Oh, Hey there, Veronica. Wazzup!" Aiden greeted her cheerfully. He felt like he was saved by Veronica's arrival.

"Mr. Wu, long time no see," Veronica flashed her charming smile. "Oh, Ethan, my nephew." She immediately approached Ethan to hug him. However, the young boy stepped back, dodging her. Then he clung to Jane's leg, not allowing Veronica to embrace him.

Veronica was surprised by Ethan's reaction. She then peered at Jane, scanning her from head to toe.

"And who is she?" Veronica raised her eyebrow.

Ethan was about to answer, but Nathan immediately covered his mouth. "Ethan, It's shower time. Let's go." Nathan told his son, changing the topic. In a flash, he scooped his son in his arms, walking away without looking back.

Jane just shook her head helplessly as she watched Nathan's retreating back. On the other hand, Aiden feigned ignorance. 'It's best not to say anything to Veronica, otherwise, she might run wild here and attack Jane. She is still mourning her sister's death.'

"Hi, Ve, this is Jane, Stephen's friend. She's staying here in the meantime as Ethan's babysitter." Aiden lied. He glanced at Jane, secretly asking her to cooperate.

Veronica's cold demeanor instantly shifted to a friendly one when she heard that.

"Hi, Jane, nice meeting you," Veronica offered her hand for a handshake.

Jane analyzed her feelings first before accepting Veronica's hand. 'Thinking about it, Veronica is also a victim of her sister's deception. As compared to her, Monica is more wicked than her. At least, Veronica loves Nathan genuinely.'

"It's my pleasure to meet you too, Dr. Veronica," Jane responded.

'I'm sorry, Veronica. But even in this second life, Nathan will be mine. You won't get a chance.' She thought to herself.

Aiden, Jane, and Veronica conversed for half an hour before the two guests said goodbye. Jane found out that Veronica was the one taking care of 'Monica's funeral.

Just when Aiden was about to leave, Jane called him for a moment.

"Aiden, you should stop your womanizing habit. I'll introduce you to someone. And I bet you will like her." Jane didn't forget to play Cupid between Aiden and Cherry. She recalled that Aiden had a big crush on Cherry also known as Black Rose.

Aiden blinked in amusement. "Eh? Are you setting me up with your friend? Is she as beautiful as you?" he asked her expectantly.

Jane giggled and bobbed her head. "Yes, but I need to convince your best friend to free her. She's currently detained by Nathan."

"What?! Why did he do that to your friend? Sigh! I have to apologize on Nathan's behalf." Aiden scratched the back of his head.

"Don't worry. You will meet her soon. Tomorrow, I'm going to gain Nathan's trust," Jane said with conviction.

"Haha. I don't know what happened between the two of you. But I wish you luck. I don't want my best friend to be sad. Are you confident to make him happy? He has just lost someone precious to him." Aiden was also concerned about Nathan's emotional state right now. He knew that he loved Monica. But she was gone now.

"Just leave it to me. I'll make him fall in love with me. Jane declared confidently. "We are meant to be."

"Haha! Damn! I like your confidence. But let me warn you. My best friend is not easy to tame. He is known as Mr. Indifferent. Once he falls in love, he will remain faithful. He is stick to one."

Jane smiled faintly. 'I know. Because he fell for me over and over again.'

Meanwhile, in Ethan's room, Nathan was helping Ethan blow-dry his hair.

"Dad, I want to sleep in your room tonight. Is it okay with you?"

Nathan was taken aback for moment. He didn't expect that his son would make such a request.

"Sure. You can sleep beside me tonight." Nathan smiled, ruffling Ethan's hair. Ethan's behavior was a bit different compared to before. He wasn't as sweet toward him.

"Yey, thank you, Dad." Ethan grinned widely. 'I'll tell mommy that I accomplish my mission.'

*****

During bedtime, Nathan lay on the bed with Ethan. Unknown to him, Ethan and Jane had already made a deal prior to Ethan's request.

Jane waited for the right moment before sneaking into Nathan's bedroom. If she asked him directly, Nathan would definitely refuse her, so she asked Ethan for help so that she could sleep with Nathan and her son tonight. It was Ethan who unlocked the door for Jane.

When Nathan was already sound asleep, Jane entered the room quietly. She smiled as soon as she saw the two precious men in her life– Ethan and Nathan.

She observed their sleeping figures for a long moment before she climbed onto the bed, joining them. Ethan woke up when he felt the movement on the bed. He rubbed his eyes and smiled as soon as he saw his mother.

"Mommy…" he whispered, hugging her. Ethan was positioned in the middle of Nathan and Jane. "I love you, Mommy," Ethan murmured before planting a soft kiss on Jane's cheek.

"I love you too, Baby," Jane whispered back, caressing his cheeks.

Ethan moved closer, sinking into her embrace as he closed his eyes once again. He went back to sleep, satisfied to know that his mother was lying beside him.

Jane held Ethan close while staring at Nathan's face. She also reached out to caress his cheek. "Good night, my love. Sweet dreams," Jane mumbled as she planted a soft kiss on Nathan's lips.

Jane couldn't wait for tomorrow. Once the DNA test results were out, she would finally prove her identity as Ethan's mother. She just hoped that Nathan would no longer doubt her. She wanted to gain his trust to erase his hatred and resentment toward her.

With those wishful thoughts, Jane finally drifted off to sleep. A few hours later, in his sleeping state, Nathan moved closer, seeking the warmth of Ethan and Jane. Subconsciously, he extended his arm to the side, wrapping both Ethan and Jane in his embrace.

For some unknown reason, Nathan found himself in a peaceful slumber after so many sleepless nights. Though he was clueless, his body felt so comfortable in his sleep, cradling Ethan and Jane in his arms, their warmth providing a sense of security and familiarity.
