After changing into a fresh set of clothes, Nathaniel settled into his car and headed toward Spring Forest Manor.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Elliot lying on the bed, his face streaked with dried tears.

“Mister, you finally came to see me. Did you tell my daddy that you took me away?”

As if Nathaniel would tell Calvin that he had kidnapped the child.

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow. “He probably found out a long time ago.”

Elliot’s nose was tinged with red, his deep black eyes brimming with unshed tears. “Then why hasn’t he come to take me home yet? I miss home, and I miss my daddy…”

Nathaniel passed him a tissue.

“Forget about it. He doesn’t want you anymore.”

Elliot was speechless. Nonsense, how could Mr. Reese possibly not want me? How despicable indeed, to scare a child like that.

To show that he was just a little boy, Elliot started to make a fuss. “You’re talking nonsense! Daddy would never abandon me. He even said that he and Mommy would give me little siblings in the future to keep me company.”

Nathaniel’s face darkened instantly, the room’s temperature seeming to drop with it.

“Your daddy wants to have children with Cecilia?”

Upon noticing his annoyance, Elliot deliberately continued, “Yeah! Daddy mentioned wanting to give me a bunch of younger siblings as playmates.”

Nathaniel fell silent.

As Elliot wept, he subtly kept an eye on the expression on Nathaniel’s face.

I thought he dislikes Mommy? Why does he look so upset then?

“Given that, why did your mommy decide to come back here?” Nathaniel was unsure if the little one would understand the complexity of the situation, but he decided to ask nonetheless.

Elliot was surprised, almost failing to respond in time..

“Maybe she returned here with Daddy to give birth to my little brother or sister.”

He blinked his large eyes, his face br with

Nathaniel felt increasingly upset deep down, as he had recently instructed someone to keep a constant watch on Calvin’s actions.

As it turned out, someone behind the scenes was keeping Calvin, who seemed like he was eager to depart from Erihal, in check.

It seemed like Calvin wanted to return to his homeland…

Returning here to have a child? It’s astonishing that Cecilia could come up with such an idea.

“Stop crying,” he said. “As long as you obey, I’ll let you see Cecilia.”

He never had the knack for coddling children. Believing that this was all he needed to do, he stood up, ready to leave.

However, Elliot simply latched onto his leg, smearing the man’s dress pants with his tears and snot. Sobbing, he cried out, “I want my mommy! I want my daddy! You’re a bad, bad man, mister!”

A few days ago, he had traveled here by plane. Due to his fragile health, he didn’t have the energy to engage with Nathaniel then. But now, he was ready to give the man a hard time.

From a young age, their mother had taken care of him and his brother, while their good–for- nothing father had abandoned them. Now it was time for Nathaniel to truly understand the hardships of raising a child!

“Stop crying and let go!” Nathaniel commanded, his brows furrowed.

Yet, Elliot refused, his crying only growing louder.

“If you continue to cry, I’ll hit you,” warned Nathaniel sternly.

“Waaah, the bad man is going to hit me! It hurts so much…” Elliot sobbed, wiping his runny nose all over Nathaniel’s leg.

Nathaniel was somewhat of a clean freak, so upon witnessing this scene, he swiftly lifted Elliot into the air.

“Don’t you dare cry!”
