100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Five…

~~*****~~

"Why don't you just ask your Uncle Stephen to volunteer himself? Why does he have to push me to date someone I don't like?" Nathan coldly said, his eyes gleaming with annoyance. The crease on his forehead deepened.

But for some unknown reason, Little Ethan could sense some kind of jealousy in Nathan's voice.

"But Dad, Miss Abi wants you… not Uncle Stephen."

Nathan tossed a puzzled look at his son. "Are you okay with that? I thought you wanted Abigail for yourself? Why are you letting someone else date her? She is your wife-to-be, isn't she?"

Ethan rolled his eyes and made a face at his father. "Dad, if it's you, there is no reason for me to get jealous. Besides, I'm fine with it because I just want to fulfill my woman's wish. This only means I respect her wants and her decision. I want to dote on her and spoil her with my love and understanding!"

Nathan: "..."

Nathan was at a loss for words. He didn't know how he would react to his son's remarks. He talked like a mature man. For goodness's sake, he was only five.

"Dad? So… will you date Miss Abi?" Ethan's sweet little voice snapped him out of his deep stupor.

"No! It's still a No," Nathan stubbornly said, not yielding to his son's words.

Little Ethan took a deep breath, giving his father a disappointed look. "Then I have no choice…" he murmured.

His small hands reached out for the cup of tea, handing it over to Nathan. "Okay, Dad. I will not pester you any more about this. Here… just drink this tea. You need this to calm your nerves."

Ethan's mood changed. He was back to his sweet and charming self. He glanced at his father with a wide smile plastered on his cute face.

Nathan didn't oppose his son. He was glad that Little Ethan voluntarily stopped talking about Abigail. He accepted the teacup and thanked Ethan for his thoughtful actions.

"Who made this tea?" Nathan asked his son after taking one sip.

"Powy and Riemc helped me prepare this drink. Dad, I'm sleepy now. I'm going to bed. I will drink my milk in my room so make sure to finish the tea I prepared for you. I put a lot of effort into that." Little Ethan said meaningfully. He jumped off the couch and grabbed the cup of milk.

"Okay, Ethan. Sleep early. Don't stay up late." Nathan gently stroked Ethan's head.

The young boy just bobbed his head, his gaze fell on the cup Nathan was holding. Flashing a triumphant smile, Ethan turned around to leave.

He was about to search for Abigail when he bumped into them at the entrance door of Nathan's study room. Abigail and the assistant cook were together. They headed to Nathan's study room as soon as they heard that Nathan was back.

"Miss Abi!" Ethan's voice filled with excitement. He pounced on her. Seconds later, he let go of her and looked up. Meanwhile, Abigail squatted in front of her so that her eyes would be at the same level as the young boy's eyes.

"Why are you still here?" Abigail asked, brushing the boy's cheek using her thumb.

"I just said goodnight to my Dad. Are you also here to greet him?" Ethan's elated voice resounded in the entrance of the study room.

Nathan's head reflexively turned in their direction when he heard Abigail's voice, his eyes catching Abigail's figure. 'What is she doing here?'

Nathan narrowed his eyes when he noticed the assistant cook standing beside Abigail. He was still observing them when Abigail responded to Ethan.

"I am here to talk to your father about some important matters."

Little Ethan gazed up, looking at the assistant cook with displeasure. "Then why is she here? She shouldn't be here. Only Miss Abi is allowed to talk to my father alone."

The assistant cook could only smile sheepishly. Abigail was the reason why she was there. If she were to decide, she wouldn't dare talk to their master! He is so scary and very intimidating!

"It's fine, Ethan. She has something very important to tell your father." Abigail explained to Ethan.

Ethan just heaved a sigh of defeat. "Alright. But she should leave you both once she is done talking to my Dad."

"Don't worry, little young master. I will leave as soon as I deliver my speech," the assistant cook said anxiously. She was truly nervous right now. Without Abigail by her side, she wouldn't dare to talk to Nathan and confess the truth about Chef Min's lies.

Ethan finally felt reassured by her words. He kissed Abigail's right cheek before saying goodbye. But before he left the room, he glanced at his father one last time. His eyes sparkled in delight when he noticed that his dad already emptied his teacup.

'Great!' Ethan thought to himself, his small lips curling up in a victorious smile.

Meanwhile, Nathan already motioned Abigail and the assistant cook to enter. His expression was indescribable.

"Why are you both here?" Nathan asked the two ladies in his lazy tone.

"I am here to clear my name. This time I brought a witness!" Abigail proudly said, pushing the assistant cook forward.

"Let me hear it," Nathan replied, not looking at them.

Abigail shot the assistant cook a warning look. She even raised the phone which contained the assistant cook's scandal video with the guard. That was her cue! She had to tell everything she knew, revealing Chef Min's lies.

"Master Nathan… the truth is… Miss Abi was telling the truth. Chef Min didn't tell her not to put peanuts on your food. He intentionally suggested that menu to her, hoping that she would get in trouble once you ate it and your allergy would act out."

A cold glint flashed through his eyes and Nathan gnashed his teeth when he absorbed her words.

"Are you telling me that Chef Min intentionally made me sick for Abigail to get in trouble?" Nathan's sharp cold voice sent chills down her spines.

"Y-Yes… M-Master… it's the truth," she stuttered from nervousness.
