Chapter 243 The Storm Has Calmed Down

Day Twenty Six...

~~*****~~

Powy, Riemc, and Star_S might be robots and couldn't feel anything. However, upon recognizing the serious expression of their creator, Nathan, they could tell that trouble was coming their way.

Sensing the impending danger they would face against Nathan, the three robots exchanged glances with one another. With their robotic way of communication, the three asked each other where Little Ethan was.

Powy turned to Star_S and inquired, "Where's Master Ethan?"

"In the Kitchen!" Star_S, who was good at tracking someone, responded.

"Do we abort the Mission?" Riemc asked his robotic friends.

Nathan had the capability to force stop and reprogram them. They were afraid that Nathan would do that as their punishment for today's chaos.

"I sense danger! Abort Mission! Let's escape!" Powy immediately put down the long sofa in his hands and ran upstairs to hide from Nathan.

Riemc and Star_S followed suit, putting the furniture down and fleeing from Nathan. The maids and the other helpers felt relieved as soon as they saw Nathan.

He was the only person who could deal with Little Ethan and his robotic friends. Even Butler Li couldn't stop Ethan and his friends from creating a ruckus in the mansion.

Nathan rubbed his temples. He hadn't slept last night just thinking about Abigail and now, the first thing that welcomed his view was a great mess in the living room.

Though Nathan went home last night, Ethan was already asleep at that time, so the father and son duo didn't see each other. Nathan also left early to go to the Syphiruz Mafia Headquarters. This was one of the reasons Ethan was not able to confront and interrogate his father about Abigail. He thought the two didn't come home.

Unknown to little Ethan, Stephen drove his father home last night. He just tracked their location just this morning upon noticing that something was going on with Nathan's IT team.

Nathan was about to find his son when Chantha showed up from behind. Chantha was one of the people who hid from Little Ethan and his robots a while ago. She didn't know how to deal with her Supreme Leader's son.

"Master! I'm glad you are finally here. Your son is a handful! We don't know how to pacify him. It looks like he truly inherit your moody attitudes and tantrum!" Chantha said spontaneously, without thinking that Nathan might be offended.

Nathan just shot her an icy glare. He was about to walk past her but Chantha blocked his way. "Master, is it true? Something happened to Abigail?"

Nathan just frowned at her but with his expression alone, Chantha was able to confirm it. She gasped and immediately bowed her head several times as she apologized.

The father and son duo entered Ethan's bedroom. Powy, Riemc, and Star_S had been hiding there. The robots didn't expect that Nathan and Ethan would enter the room very soon.

[ *Is the face-off done already?*] Riemc sent a message to Star_S and Powy through their robotic way of communicating.

Star_S and Powy both scanned Nathan's face and Ethan's face. Identifying their current expressions, the two robots confirmed that the face-off between the father and son was already done.

[ *Yes, they are done! No doubt! 89% probability based on their current expressions* ] Powy replied, sending a secret message to Riemc and Star_S.

[ *It's 97% for me after analyzing their facial expressions and gestures!* ] Star_S also shared his analysis with Riemc and Powy.

Nathan and Ethan looked at each other. They could tell that the robots were exchanging secret messages.

"Stop talking about us," Ethan said, wiggling his hips as he wanted to come down. Nathan placed him on the floor.

The three robots immediately proceeded to the playroom, leaving the father and son duo. Ethan headed to his wardrobe to pick some clothes. Nathan walked into the bathroom, preparing the bathtub. He was planning to bathe Little Ethan by himself.

Little Ethan already removed his clothes when he entered the bathroom. "Dad, why are you still here? I can bath alone." Ethan pouted his small lips.

"I'll help you out," Nathan insisted.

Ethan didn't resist anymore. Nathan carried his son and put him down in the bathtub in a standing position. Little Ethan squatted inside as he let his father take the shower, placing it over Ethan's head. The shower began to release water while Ethan rubbed his body with soap.

As Ethan continued to bathe, he noticed that his father seemed to be troubled by something. At this moment, Ethan spoke up, questioning his father.

"Dad, can you tell me now what happened to Miss Abi?"

Nathan shifted his gaze from Ethan's head to his face. He was contemplating whether he should tell him or not. Ethan might blame him further.

"Do you really want to hear the truth? You will hate me further. I don't want my son to hate me," Nathan said meaningfully.

Little Ethan sighed deeply and glared at him. "Dad, if you don't speak the truth, I will hate you more. Just be honest with me." The young boy was urging him to speak up. Besides, Ethan already forgave his father when he apologized sincerely.

"She got hurt because she protected me..." Nathan softly mumbled. He couldn't tell his son that he was being targeted by his enemies. It was an assassination attempt.

Ethan fell silent for a moment. By assessing his father's expression, he knew that he was not lying. Furthermore, he felt so happy knowing that Abigail saved his father.

A broad smile flashed on his adorable face. 'Ahuh! So my father felt guilty that's why he looks so troubled. He cares for her... Yey! He is worried about Miss Abi! He started to care about her!'

Little Ethan's mood improved. He felt like there was great progress in the relationship between Nathan and Abigail. He just wished that this incident would bring the two closer to each other.
