Chapter 813 Discovering the Secret Convo
Day Eighty-Six...
~~*****~~
After Old Man Xu's discharge from the Syphiruz Medical Facility, Nathan returned to the Sparks Mansion alone. He allowed his son to stay in the Xu Mansion together with his grandfather. With this, Nathan got some time alone in the house.
As the schedule of Jane's wedding with Vincent was getting nearer, Nathan's burden in his heart was getting heavier and heavier. He wanted to be alone to reflect on his feelings.
In the end, Nathan entered Ethan's playroom. In there, he reminisced about the moment when Ethan, Jane, and he were bonding together, playing video games.
"I miss her so much," Nathan mumbled as he sat down in front of Ethan's small desk.
Nathan was absentmindedly staring at Ethan's laptop when the two robots approached him.
"Master Nathan! It's good to see you here." Riemc said as he stood next to Nathan.
It did not take long before Powy also greeted him. "Master, where is our young master Ethan? Have you seen Lady Jane too?"
Nathan's eyes gleamed with sadness at the mention of Jane's name.
"Jane is no longer here," Nathan responded. "I don't know how I can take her back."
Nathan believed that the robots couldn't understand his feelings so he felt comfortable telling them his worries and concerns.
"Master Nathan, you look so troubled. Did something happen to Lady Jane?" Powy inquired.
Nathan nodded. "My half-brother who wanted revenge stole her away from me..."
"She let me go. She chose him over me... because of her daughter. She didn't want me anymore. But I can't give her up. I need her to be by my side."
Nathan saw the video recording of the conversation between Ethan and Abigail. His eyes were fixed on the monitor as he watched and listened to them.
Ethan's cheerful voice echoed through the laptop screen.
Ethan: "May I call you Mom now?"
Abigail didn't reply right away. She looked like hesitating to answer Ethan. Because of Abigail's reaction, Ethan asked her if she was okay, perhaps she was troubled by something or she hated to be called "Mom".
Nathan watched as Abigail immediately shook her head and cupped Ethan's face. Abigail: "Of course not. Even if I'm not your biological mother, I am happy that you are treating me like your mother. Ethan... you are one of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life. I love you, Ethan. I care for you..."
Nathan was touched by Abigail's words. No wonder he had fallen for her before.
"Abigail is indeed Jane's sister. I can't explain it but I can see similarities between them. Maybe, I fell for her because she was like Jane... both her attitude and her behavior."
Nathan continued to watch the recordings.
Ethan: "Thank you, Miss Abi. You made me happy! But I wanna ask you... between Dad and me... who do you love the most?"
Abigail: "Of course, it's you! I love you the most. My cute little angel!" Nathan didn't know whether to laugh or feel jealous after seeing this. It looked like his son was truly competing with him when it came to Abigail's attention before.
Ethan: "Haha. My Dad will get jealous once he hears this. Powy and Riemc, have you recorded Miss Abi's statement? I will tease my Dad later."
Nathan let out another chuckle. He was having a good time watching this. At least, he could forget his heartbreak even just for a while.
Soon, Abigail finally brought up a certain topic related to their secret. Nathan became more intrigued, interested in what he was going to hear next.
Abigail: "Ethan, I have a secret I wanna share with you. Can you promise me to keep it to yourself?" Ethan: "I promise! What is it, Mom? Tell me."
Abigail: "I have another identity... not as Abigail Scarlett... I'm Jane Frost... That's my real name. My soul got lost and I am possessing this body temporarily." Ethan: "I... believe you. I will recognize your soul... in whatever body you are in... because you are my mom."
Nathan frowned when he heard that kind of conversation, disbelief evident in his eyes. "No way... Is she kidding? Was she just pranking my son for telling him those words? But why... Why did Abigail look very serious and sad? Is she telling the truth?"
