Chapter 868 The Last Mission: Unexpected Visitors
Day Ninety-One…
"Nate, I'm going out today together with my sister," Jane informed Nathan, stepping closer to him.
Nathan was standing in front of the full-body mirror when Jane suddenly grabbed his tie to fix it personally.
He frowned for a moment. He didn't like the feeling of waiting for her the whole night while she was having fun with her friends and getting drunk. He had the urge to ask her how long she was going to stay out again. But he restrained himself from doing so. He felt like he would look like he was nosy.
But Nathan's expression didn't go unnoticed by Jane's observant eyes, so she decided to tease him a little.
"Why are you frowning? Are you going to miss me already? Don't you want me to leave?" Nathan arched his eyebrow upon hearing her words. Because of that, Jane couldn't help but giggle while pinching his cheeks.
Her soft giggle was like a piece of music in his ear. Then his gaze fell on her kissable lips. 'Damn. I wanna kiss her,' he thought to himself as he couldn't take his eyes off her. Without a second thought, Nathan wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. He leaned in, sealing her lips with a deep passionate kiss.
Jane blinked several times, caught off guard by his sudden advances. She didn't expect Nathan to initiate the kiss. And it seemed that it was his way of stopping her from teasing him. He even bit her lips so hard as his punishment for her.
Instead of complaining, Jane anchored her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to deepen the kiss further. She returned the kiss with the same intensity as his.
Nathan could no longer deny the strong physical attraction he had for Jane. He had become addicted to her and it was so hard to control his desire. He never thought he had this kind of weakness over a woman. Only Jane could make him feel this way– driving him crazy.
The two just stopped kissing when they heard a knock followed by Ethan's voice.
"Mom! Dad! Let's eat breakfast now!"
Jane and Nathan drew apart, but their eyes remained locked on each other. Both were panting as they caught their breath.
"Our son is here. I'm going to greet him first." Jane mumbled before turning around excitedly.
Nathan let out a deep sigh, watching Jane's back with frustration. He groaned inwardly, feeling like he had been left hanging, craving more. He had no choice but to follow the mother and son duo.
In the dining area, Jane's attention had been diverted to Ethan. Nathan witnessed how Jane expressed her motherly love toward their son. The more he watched the interaction between Ethan and Jane the more he realized that she belonged to his family. He could see the big difference between Jane and Monica.
No longer clouded by his hatred toward Jane, Nathan felt grateful that the truth had finally come to light.
'I was such a fool… believing Monica's lies.'
"Mommy, can I go with you today?" Ethan asked Jane expectantly.
Jane fell silent for a moment. She couldn't bring Ethan with her since she was going to meet Monica and Vincent today at the airport together with Abigail and Dave.
"I'm sorry, Baby. But I can't bring you with me," Jane apologized, smiling sheepishly.
Nathan glanced at her suspiciously. He didn't expect that Jane would refuse Ethan's request.
'What is she up to today?' He pondered to himself.
Meanwhile, Ethan looked disheartened because he didn't want to get separated from his parents today.
"Dad? Do you have to go to work today too?" Ethan put on a pitiful face. "I don't want to stay here alone."
Nathan met Jane's gaze, his eyes seemingly telling her not to go and stay with Ethan. He was using Ethan to make Jane stay at home.
Understanding Nathan's message, Jane contemplated whether to set aside her prior plan for her son or not.
'Sigh. I came back so that I could be with them. Ethan and Nathan must be my top priority.'
"Okay, Son. I'm not going to leave. Do you want us to tag along with your father? The three of us can go to the company together!" Jane suggested.
Ethan's face brightened up upon hearing that. "Yey! I love that, Mommy. Let's do that!"
Nathan's expression remained neutral but deep inside, he was also glad that Jane made that suggestion.
"Instead of going to the company, let's go somewhere else." Nathan finally spoke up.
Ethan and Jane reflexively gazed at Nathan with amusement. They didn't expect him to say that.
"Where are we going, Daddy?" Ethan asked him enthusiastically.
"You choose," he simply replied.
"Oh! Let's go to the beach!" Ethan jumped from his chair, excitement could be seen in his sparkling eyes.
Both Nathan and Jane nodded in agreement.
"Daddy, you have to change your clothes! Mommy, let's pack our things!" Ethan was truly excited for today's family outing.
"Okay, Baby." Jane giggled, ruffling his hair. "But you have to finish your food first."
Ethan scratched his face and smiled sheepishly. "Yes, Mommy."
They were still in the middle of their breakfast when Nathan received a phone call from Spider. He excused himself for a moment to answer his phone.
"Sir, sorry for calling you at this hour. This is urgent! We have unexpected visitors! Members of the Sawada Clan are here in our headquarters. They are looking for you!" Spider spoke spontaneously, reporting to Nathan.
"Boss! Their Clan Leader is here as well! Can you go here right now!" He added with a sense of urgency.
Nathan frowned, puzzled by this sudden turn of events. He had been trying to connect with the Sawada Clan before, but they had kept rejecting his requests.
"What do they need from me?" Nathan asked, intrigued.
"S-Sir, the thing is… they said you contacted them first…" Spider hesitated for a moment before continuing. "You told them you found the missing daughter of their Clan Leader!"
The crease on Nathan's forehead deepened further, confusion resurfacing in his eyes. "What missing daughter? I didn't send any messages to them recently."
"Sir! What should we do? Do we need to fight them? They are starting to threaten us if you don't come on time and bring the missing daughter!"
