恶霸鲁尼 奖学金

[ At Sparks Mansion… ]

Nathan stayed in his study room for the whole morning. His mind was preoccupied with Abigail. He didn\'t know how he would face her.

\'She can\'t remember me. What should I tell her?\' Nathan asked himself, covering his face using both hands. He massaged his temples since his head was throbbing. He didn\'t get enough sleep thinking about what tomorrow might bring.

Nathan spent his time reminiscing his moment with Abigail. He already missed the bold Abigail who declared to him that she would seduce him and win his heart.

Now that she got what she wanted, she suddenly forgot him. What a cruel fate!

\'She must take responsibility for me.\' Nathan sighed deeply. He slowly stood up, grabbing his coat. He finally decided to see Abigail. He was yearning to hug her.

Nathan bumped into Ethan when he stepped out of his study room. The young boy seemed like he was waiting for his father to come out.

"Why are you here? You didn\'t go to school again?" Nathan asked his son, arching his eyebrow.

"Dad… I already learned our lessons. I\'m a smart boy. Even if I don\'t go to school for a week, I can still ace our exam." Ethan said to him confidently.

Nathan couldn\'t refute that. His son was a genius. "You can take your time. But frequent absences are not good for your image. Your classmates see you as their role model."

"That\'s not true. If I excelled in class and teachers commended me, some of my classmates felt jealous of me. They started hating and bullying me." Ethan shared his experience with his Dad.

"You are my son. Just like what your Miss Abi said, you must not allow anyone to bully you." Nathan\'s expression turned sullen at the mention of Abigail\'s name. There was a hint of yearning in his eyes.

Ethan noticed the sad expression of his father. "Dad…" he paused for a moment. "What do you plan to do now?" 

"I can\'t give her up. I\'ll wait for her to remember me." Nathan promptly responded. Ethan could see his father\'s determination.

\'But she won\'t remember him no matter how long he waits.\' Ethan thought to himself.

"I\'ll go to the facility. Would you like to come with me?" Nathan invited his son. 

Ethan bobbed his head frantically. He was still trying to assess his feelings if he could forgive Jane. However, the thought of Monica was stopping him from doing so. He was being consumed by his guilt because he was fond of Jane, the woman who killed his mother.

The father and son duo went downstairs together. The chauffeur was already waiting for them. The two stopped by the market first to buy fruits for Abigail.

Twenty minutes later, Nathan and Ethan reached the facility. They saw Kazuki and a young man who seemed to be his son. The two stopped midway and observed the two men.

\'So this is his son… whom he wants to introduce to Jane.\' Both Nathan and Ethan were thinking of the same thing.

The young guy had brown hair. He had a nice build like Nathan. But compared to Nathan\'s fair complexion, he was the epitome of a tall, dark, and handsome guy. He was good-looking.

Nathan just wanted to ignore their presence and use the alternate route going to Abigail\'s ward when Ethan stopped him by tugging his sleeve. 

Nathan looked down, giving him a questioning gaze. The young boy just motioned for his dad to glance in Kazuki\'s direction. When Nathan followed his line of sight, he saw Jane and Mr. Hiroshi. They were now talking to Kazuki and his son.

Ethan urged his father to stay on foot for a moment to watch this scene.

Meanwhile, Kazuki grabbed his son\'s shoulders, pushing him forward so that he would face Jane. "Jane, this is my son, Christopher."

"Dad… Miss Jane is part of our Clan. She can call me by my real name Tatsumi. Chistopher is my international name." After saying that, Tatsumi turned to look at Jane. There was admiration in his eyes as he stared at her.

Jane was his ideal woman. He liked her fierce and dominating aura. No wonder his father was so eager to introduce him to their clan leader\'s daughter.

"Dad… I like her already," he whispered. He couldn\'t take his eyes off her.

Kazuki just smiled at his son. He was so excited about their meet-up. He hoped his son would be able to catch Jane\'s attention.

"Hello, Lady Jane. I\'m Tatsumi. It\'s my pleasure to meet you today." Tatsumi extended his right hand for a handshake. When Jane accepted his hand, Tatsumi brought the back of her palm to his lips. He kissed her hand.

Jane squinted her eyes when his lips touched her hand. She didn\'t expect him to do that. She immediately retracted her hand, away from Tatsumi.

Aside from Jane, two people also glared at Tatsumi when he suddenly kissed Jane\'s hand. Nathan and Ethan, we\'re watching them at the back. They noticed that Jane was also displeased. Jane wasn\'t used to being touched by another man. Nathan seemed to be the only exemption.

"Nice meeting you too," Jane responded with a forced smile. For Mr. Kazuki\'s sake, she didn\'t act rudely in front of Tatsumi.

"Jane, I have some errands today because I\'m searching for the Raven. Can you accompany my son for a while?" Kazuki requested her. But he also glanced at Mr. Hiroshi, asking for his permission.

"Go with him, Jane. I\'ll take care of your sister today. Why don\'t you bring him out and tour him around the city?" Mr. Hiroshi suggested.

Tatsumi showed courtesy to their godfather. He greeted him politely and with so much respect.

"Okay, Pa. I\'ll entertain Tatsumi today." Jane took the task of accompanying Tatsumi around the city.

Tatsumi\'s eyes brightened up when Jane agreed.

"Let\'s go?" He extended his hand in front of her as if he was inviting her to hold his hand. But Jane just feigned ignorance. She didn\'t hold his hand. She just smiled at him while nodding her head. "Follow me. I\'m going to tour you around the city."

The two of them were about to leave when two figures blocked their way. Jane was surprised to see Nathan and Ethan together.

"Where are you going? You have a check-up today." Nathan informed her coldly.

Jane blinked several times. She couldn\'t remember that she had an appointment with the doctor\'s today.

When Tatsumi heard that, he got worried about her. "Doctor? Are you not feeling well, my lady?"
