Chapter 851 The Last Mission: Stay Together
Day Eighty-Nine…
Since Nathan finally agreed, Stephen took blood samples from both Ethan and Jane. He would personally oversee the DNA test until they got the result.
"Jane, I have to go now. You can call me anytime if you need anything." Stephen gave her his calling card. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Stephen said goodbye to Nathan and others. Butler Li also excused himself.
Meanwhile, Ethan didn't waste his time as he immediately approached Jane. He sat next to her, holding Jane's hand.
"Mommy, let's go home." Nathan's expression turned grim upon hearing that.
"She is not going anywhere," he sternly said. He planned on bringing Jane back to the Syphiruz Headquarters.
"Why, Dad?" Ethan asked his father.
"Because she is coming with me," Nathan replied.
Ethan pouted his lips. "Grandpa, Can I take my Mommy home? If Dad won't allow her, then can Mommy and I stay in your house instead?" The little boy sought help from his grandpa.
Old Man Xu let out a soft chuckle. "Sure."
"Dad! Have you forgotten? She is an assassin. I can't let her get near my son!" Nathan whispered to his father.
"You can stick with them and watch her closely." Old Man Xu nonchalantly responded. "You know I can't say No to my grandson."
Nathan frowned in annoyance since his three-year-old son started talking back at him. 'Damn. I'm his Dad. Why is he defending this woman?'
"I want to be with Ethan. So I hope you can allow me to stay in your house, Mr. Sparks while waiting for the result. I'll take care of him." Jane gently stroked Ethan's hair as she watched him affectionately.
Ethan, Jane, and Old Man Xu waited for Nathan's answer.
"Fine. She will stay with us in the meantime. But she has to follow my rules!" Nathan didn't argue further. Though it was against his will, Nathan decided to keep the enemy close to him. Old Man Xu was right. He could watch and monitor her every move.
"Yey! Thank you, Dad!" Ethan jumped, rejoicing. He felt so happy to be reunited with Jane.
"Alright. Bring them home now." Old Man Xu urged Nathan, dismissing him. He said goodbye to his grandson and glanced meaningfully at Jane for one last time. Jane and Old Man Xu made a deal earlier, working together to catch the spies.
Ethan never let go of Jane's hand as they left Old Man Xu's office. Nathan silently followed them from behind.
'How did he become so close to her? They had just met today for the first time.' Nathan pondered to himself as he observed the lively interaction between Jane and Ethan.
It did not take long before they reached the parking area. Butler Li was already waiting for them in the car.
"Uncle Li, this is my Mommy Jane. Mommy, he is my Uncle Li. He is the one taking care of me." Ethan introduced them together.
Butler Li smiled faintly as he greeted Jane politely. Jane shook Butler Li's hand while eyeing him intently.
'Is he the one who tampered with the DNA results? I know Butler Li is still working for Vincent. Will he intervene again?' Jane tightened her grip on Butler Li's hand.
Meanwhile, Butler Li sensed immense pressure coming from Jane. 'Does she hate me or what? Why is she looking at me like that?'
"Mommy, let's go!"
Ethan escorted Jane into the car. The two settled down in the back passenger seat. Nathan was about to enter in the front passenger seat but Ethan called him.
"Dad, come here. Sit with us here in the back!" Nathan frowned and glared at Jane. But Jane just smiled at him sweetly. She even patted the space on the seat, gesturing for him to sit down with her.
Feeling irritated, Nathan moved to the opposite side. Ethan was sitting in the middle of them. The little boy grabbed their hands as he couldn't contain his joy.
'My family is complete. My Mom and my Dad are with me… by my side.'
Nathan was very silent during the entire journey. Only Jane and Ethan happily conversed inside the car. When they arrived at the mansion, Ethan tugged at his father's sleeve and asked, "Dad, are you okay? Why are you so silent? Are you still mad? Did you argue with Mom?" "Ethan, she is not your mother. I hate hearing you calling her your mom," Nathan responded truthfully.
Ethan hugged his father's leg and said, "Dad, trust me. She is my mother. I can feel it here." He put his free hand on his chest.
"You should feel it as well. Look at Mommy. She is beautiful, isn't she?" Nathan followed Ethan's line of sight. Then he saw Jane smiling at them as she waved her hand. "Nate, Ethan, I'm gonna cook something. I'm heading to the kitchen!" Jane informed them as she went ahead.
Nathan didn't know what to feel at this moment. He was still suspicious of Jane. He knew he shouldn't let his guard down. But part of him wanted to agree with Ethan. Jane was indeed a beautiful woman. What attracted him the most was her emerald eyes. And her kissable lips tasted so sweet.
'Damn it! What am I thinking?' Nathan immediately shook his head, pushing the unwanted thoughts to the back of his mind.
"Eh, Sir. This is her first time here at our mansion. How did she know where to find our kitchen?" Butler Li suddenly spoke up from behind. Nathan was taken aback by his question. 'That's true.'
But Ethan just let out a soft giggle. "Mommy has been here many times."
Butler Li: "..."
Nathan: "..."
An hour later…
After cooking, Jane headed to the guest room. Ethan and Butler Li enjoyed the food she prepared for them while Nathan stayed in his study room to be alone.
Veronica called him about Monica's funeral. And the two decided to cremate Monica's body. But before the cremation, Nathan planned on telling Ethan of what happened to Monica.
He was saddened to see that his son was treating a stranger as his mother while clueless about Monica's death. So Nathan finally decided to reveal Monica's death to his son. He was still confident that Jane and Ethan's DNA would never match.
Nathan stood up and left his study room.
"Where's Ethan?" He asked Butler Li whom he bumped into in the hallway.
"The young master might be in the guest room together with Miss Jane."
Nathan nodded before heading to the guest room. It's time for him to talk to his son regarding Monica.
Upon reaching the room, Nathan knocked first but no one responded. He repeated his action however he didn't hear any movement from the inside.
'Damn! What if she did something to my son?!'
Nathan didn't waste his time as he barged into the room. But to his surprise, Jane had just got out of the bathroom, still dripping wet, her body was only covered by a white towel.
The two met each other's eyes.
"Do you need something, Nate?"
Nathan was at a loss for words for a moment. His mind temporarily went blank as his gaze subconsciously fell on her body, watching her from head to toe. He gulped hard as he suddenly felt thirsty and his body heated up.
Nathan hadn't recovered yet from his trance when Jane made her way toward him.
Bam!
