Chapter 744 Baby Sis
Day Seventy-Eight…
~~*****~~
[ At Sparks Mansion… ]
Little Ethan felt bored, staying at home. "Sigh. I miss my mom. I haven't seen her for a day." The young boy was sulking in his playroom, facing his laptop.
"Young master, why don't you call her so that you can see her," Powy, his robotic friend, suggested.
"Oh right! Nice suggestion! Let's video call her!" Ethan's eyes sparkled in delight.
The other two robotic friends– Riemc and Star S, approached them. The three robots watched Ethan and his laptop screen as he contacted Jane.
It did not take long before it was answered. Jane's smiling face showed up on his computer screen.
"Mommy!" Ethan called her excitedly. "How are you? I miss you. When are you going back?" "Oh, my cute charming boy. I miss you too!" Jane had the urge to hug her phone. Just like Ethan, she had been missing him. "Don't worry, I'll return the day after tomorrow."
"Yey. Thanks, Mom. I can't wait to see you." Ethan caressed Jane's face on his laptop screen.
As they continued talking, Ethan caught a glimpse of a familiar figure behind Jane. "Mom? Is that my Dad behind you?" he asked him with disbelief.
Jane could only smile sheepishly as she nodded her head.
"This is so unfair, Dad! You should have brought me with you to see Mom!" Ethan began his ranting, reprimanding his father. "You selfish old man! You just want my mommy for yourself! I won't forgive you!" The young boy was upset because he was left behind. Ethan was on the verge of crying because of frustration.
"Baby, don't cry," Jane started to panic. She wanted to scold Nathan too. He was responsible for making Little Ethan cry.
But Nathan just simply took the phone, talking to his son.
"I don't want to talk to you. I hate you! Give the phone back to Mom!" Ethan didn't let his father speak.
"Stop throwing a fit, son. You are right. I didn't bring you because I wanted her to focus on me." Nathan said truthfully.
"Hey! What are you saying?! Give the phone back to me. You are supposed to apologize and console him. You are making him feel bad." Jane punched Nathan's shoulder, reaching for her phone.
Nathan refused to give the phone to her since he wasn't done talking to his son. So he continued, "If you are here, Jane and I can't make another baby. I thought you wanted to have a baby sister and brother?"
When Ethan heard his last remarks, his expression instantly changed. "Dad? Is that true?" His innocent eyes were fixed on the laptop with anticipation.
"Yes. It's true. She wants to have a baby with me." He replied matter-of-factly.
Jane: "..."
Jane's cheeks reddened from embarrassment. She didn't know how Ethan would react. She couldn't see his face since Nathan was holding her phone.
"Alright, Dad. I forgive you. I take back my words. I don't hate you. Please continue. I'll wait for my baby sibling." Ethan's cheerful voice was heard. His frustration disappeared in an instant. Jane: "..."
Since he succeeded in pacifying his son, Nathan returned the phone to Jane. "Here's your phone. You can talk to him now. He is no longer upset with me."
Jane just blinked her eyes in amusement. She didn't expect that this shameless guy would use that as an excuse to pacify Ethan.
'What a clever man! Tsk tsk.'
"Mom! Don't go back here without my baby sis! I want a baby sis!" Ethan demanded, making Jane speechless once again.
"Eh… Ethan… regarding that. It will take months before you can have a baby sister," Jane replied awkwardly. She was already cursing Nathan in her mind.
When she glanced at Nathan, he was already grinning from ear to ear. "So? Are you up for another session?" He teased her.
Jane just grabbed the pillow and threw it to his face, however he managed to catch it. Then, Nathan's husky laugh bubbled up in the room.
"Ethan, hang up! Jane and I have to fulfill your request, making a baby!" Nathan shouted jokingly so that Ethan could hear him.
"Okay, Dad. Mommy, I'm hanging up." Ethan didn't think twice to end the video call. Though he missed Jane so much, he would endure it because he loved the idea of having a baby sibling!
"Nathan Sparks! I'm gonna beat you. Come here!" Jane exclaimed exasperatedly. She wanted to talk to Ethan for a longer time but Nathan ruined it.
Nathan just continued to smile, feigning innocence. "Sure. Beat me with your love." Nathan opened his arms wide as if he was inviting her to come.
"You are unbelievable!" Jane scowled at him.
But Nathan maintained his cheeky smile as he closed their gaps. He wrapped her in his arms and showered her face with soft kisses.
"I love to tease you. So pretty when you are mad." Nathan softly said, planting another soft kiss on her forehead.
Jane just heaved a sigh of defeat. "Nate, I miss Ethan. You should have brought him with you." She pouted her lips.
Nathan stroked her hair and said, "Alright. I apologize. Next time, I'll bring him with me. Don't be sad. We are going home the day after tomorrow, right? You will see him soon."
Jane bobbed her head. She couldn't explain why she had a strong attachment to Ethan even though they were not related by blood. She loved him like her own child.
"Nate, there is something I need to tell you." After seeing Ethan, Jane realized that she should be honest with Nathan.
"I'm willing to listen." Nathan broke the hug so that he could meet her eyes.
"Yesterday… Vincent told me a shocking thing. He said… He is the father of my child and that.. our child is alive."
The room was engulfed with deafening silence. Nathan was not able to react right away. He didn't know what to say.
"I know… he is the guy I hate the most… but if he is telling the truth… I want to meet that child." Jane confides with Nathan, expressing her thoughts and feelings.
"Are you upset that I hid it from you since yesterday?" Jane asked him.
But Nathan looked at her with understanding. He cupped her face and said, "No. I'm not upset. It's just that… I don't want him to bother you. But he keeps on messing with us. I don't know if this is part of his other scheme… but I will not stop you from meeting that child. You have the right to know the truth. I'm just here to protect you."
Jane suddenly felt like crying, her eyes becoming misty. She was touched by Nathan's words.
"Even though the father of your child is a scumbag, your child is innocent and has nothing to do with their evil deeds. It is only right for you not to hate the child," Nathan added.
Hearing those words, Jane could no longer control her emotions. Her tears started to fall from the corners of her eyes. She was still affected whenever her child would be brought up. There was longing in her eyes.
To comfort her, Nathan pulled her into a tight embrace. His heart was being crushed seeing Jane's cry.
