Day Forty...

"Is this information reliable?" Nathan asked Aiden the moment he recovered from his deep stupor. Never had he imagined that Phantomflake had a child.

"I don't know. I informed you so that you can verify this information. Furthermore, Black Rose is so drunk. She might be confused since she is under the influence of alcohol," Aiden explained to him.

"So Black Rose is with you?" Nathan sounded a little bit surprised.

"Yes. She's with me. But Nate... what will you do if Phantomflake really has a child? Correct me if I am wrong... when you attacked their headquarters, you didn't kill a child, did you?" Aiden continued interrogating Nathan.

"No. Only assassins were present. No child." Nathan was certain about this.

"If she does have a child, then I must find that kid... I can use that child against Phantomflake once she wakes up. She will not dare disobey me and she might cooperate with me."

"Nate. Her child is innocent. Don't involve the child in your revenge against Phantomflake," Aiden disagreed.

"Furthermore, how will you find the kid? It looks like even Black Rose doesn't know the child's whereabouts." Aiden informed him.

Nathan fell silent. He had conflicting thoughts right now. He wondered if Stephen knew something about this.

​ 'I will confront him tomorrow after the family day event.' Nathan thought to himself.New n0vel chapters are published on

"Nate, I have to go. I will have to bring my pet Chao-Chao to the vet. He has fallen sick." Aiden said goodbye to Nathan. He didn't want to dwell further on matters related to Phantomflake. He had some priorities– one was the drunken woman in his guest room and the other one was the adorable pet who needed to be treated tonight.

But Nathan wouldn't back down. He tightened her grip on her shoulder. Using his right hand, he lifted her chin so that she would look him straight in the eyes. "But my Lady, there is only one Nathan Sparks in this world. You won't meet someone like me."

Nathan smirked cheekily when Abigail was rendered speechless. When it came to verbal war, Nathan already learned how to counterattack.

"Yeah. I agree. You are one of a kind... A very rare specie of men. So if ever you will end up marrying Helena for political reasons, then I will have to retreat and give up on pursuing you." Abigail removed his hand that was holding her chin and patted Nathan's chest before she turned around to leave.

Nathan could only glare while watching her back. "What am I gonna do to her? Abigail Scarlett... let me deal with you tomorrow."

[ An hour later at Aiden's place... ]

Aiden returned home together with his pet dog, Chao-Chao. It turned out Chao-Chao had an allergy, causing him to vomit and have diarrhea. Aiden had no talent for naming his pet dog. He called him Chao-Chao because of his breed. His pet dog was a chow-chow dog breed.

He brought his dog to his room. After putting his dog in IV, Aiden proceeded to the guest room to check on Cherry. The maid told him that Cherry was already sleeping in her room. But Aiden wanted to see her before going to bed.

A broad smile broke into Aiden's lips when he saw Cherry curling up in her bed. He decided to watch her, admiring her beautiful feature. She looked pretty even in her sleep. He was totally smitten by her.

Aiden leaned over to fix her blanket. She was now wearing a comfy pajama set. Aiden enjoyed observing her up close. He even tucked her hair behind her ear.

'Damn. She is so pretty. I want to pinch her soft cheeks. Can I touch her? She won't wake up, right?'

Unable to hold his urge, Aiden poked her right cheek using his forefinger. He tried his best to hold his laughter. He wanted to touch her other cheek when suddenly Cherry opened her eyes. Aiden's heart jumped out of his chest when he met her gaze. He got frozen as if he had forgotten to breathe.

'Damn it! She woke up! She caught me in the act." Aiden's face was close to Cherry's because he was leaning over. 'Uh-oh, I'm doomed!'
