Day Three…
~~*****~~
After conniving with his son about gathering Abigail's personal information, Nathan bade goodbye to his son. He left the Dream Knight Academy and proceeded to Towerville City to et his best friend, Stephen.
Stephen was a psychologist in profession. He is the only son of their family doctor, Dr. Zhao. Among Nathan's circle of friends, Stephen and Aiden were the only two people he could trust the most.
However, between his two best friends– Aiden and Stephen, Nathan often confides his feelings and inner thoughts with Stephen, especially since he is a professional psychologist. He was certain that his secret was safe with Stephen, unlike with Aiden who is very talkative.
Nathan, Stephen, and Aiden were known in the country as the Magnificent Trio. They were famous heartthrobs and bachelors– one from the family of prestigious doctors, one from the family of wealthy and successful businessn, and one from the family of outstanding engineers.
Stephen Zhao built his private clinic at the center of Towerville City. Despite his pleasing personality and gorgeous appearance, Stephen remained bachelor just like his two best friends. These three n have different personalities and attitudes.
Among the three, Stephen appeared to be the good guy and a gentleman. On the other hand, Nathan and Aiden were quite opposite; one was loyal to one woman while chasing away the other and one kept on changing girlfriends every month as if he was just changing clothes.
When Nathan arrived at Stephen's private clinic, he was surprised to see Aiden with him. He thought he could talk to Stephen alone.
"Hey, Nat! You are also here! Are you having a problem with a woman too? Co here, join us!" Aiden welcod Nathan with his blabbering mouth.
Aiden even plopped down on the sofa and patted the seat next to him, inviting Nathan who was contemplating whether to enter the room or not. He regretted coming here without asking Stephen first if he had an appointnt with their other friend.
Stephen just laughed huskily as he could sohow tell what was running in Nathan's mind right now based on his expression alone. Before Nathan could change his mind and leave, Stephen approached him, holding his right shoulder while motioning him to co inside.
Nathan just glanced at him helplessly before sighing a deep sigh. He couldn't turn back now. Aiden and Stephen both cornered him today.
"So what's up, Nat? When are you going to introduce us to your future daughter-in-law," Aiden opened his blabbering mouth once more, teasing Nathan. Aiden had this keen mory and he had not forgotten what Little Ethan had ntioned during Old Man Xu's birthday party.
Stephen shifted his gaze back and forth between Nathan and Aiden. "Daughter-in-law?" he asked them in puzzlent.
"Our godson, Ethan, talked about so random girl, calling her his future wife-to-be during his grandfather's birthday party." Aiden butted in, not allowing Nathan to speak up for himself.
Nathan just rubbed his temples recalling that scene. He knew it. Aiden wouldn't let go of that so easily.
"Hmm, don't tell your son has given up matchmaking you with won and he has now decided to find his own woman?" Stephen chuckled at that thought.
Nathan always complained to him nurous tis that his son, Ethan, was shipping him to other won. Stephen just advised him not to be harsh on them and understand Ethan's intention. He might be longing for a mother's love, that's why he kept searching for a woman who would date his father.
Nathan just ignored Stephen's remarks. He walked towards the sofa opposite to Aiden. He didn't want to sit next to Aiden because he was the one who brought this topic up.
"By the way, why are you here?" Nathan asked Aiden coldly. He didn't hide the displeasure in his eyes.
Aiden clutched his heart, pretending that he was hurt. "Ouch! Why are you giving that scary look, Nat? I am his client today. I already reserved an appointnt with Stephen. You are the walk-in client so you don't have the right to complain."
"If you don't want to see my face… then you should be the one to leave," Aiden added, pouting his lips while putting on an upset face.
"Hey, you two, stop fighting like dogs and cats. I can cater to you both at the sa ti. Besides, it's been so long since the last ti we gathered together in one place. Let's have so catching up together." Stephen intervened, stepping into the middle of their argunts.
He passed them so glasses and picked up a bottle of wine inside his cabinet. Nathan and Aiden accepted the wine glasses as Stephen started to pour them so drinks.
"So what's up, my dear brothers? I know you will not visit unless you are troubled by sothing. Now, I am here to listen to each of your concerns." Stephen sat down next to Nathan.
"I'm in trouble. I have this woman who refused to break up with . I already told her about my dating rule. But still, she is insisting on continuing our relationship. I already made myself clear that I don't date the sa woman for more than a month! Now, she is threatening of committing suicide! I think she is already obsessed with . Now, Buddy, please tell how I should deal with that one crazy obsessed woman?!" Aiden lanted exasperatedly.
Nathan could only click his tongue at his best friend's misery. He had already expected this to happen. It served him right for being a playboy. This was not the first ti it happened to Aiden. He already experienced this but Aiden never learned his lesson.
He had to bug Nathan to intervene just to stop those won from stalking and bothering him all over again.
"I already gave you proper advice for this. How many tis should I remind you that won are not a plaything? You should have stopped playing around with them. They are fragile and deserve to be loved by n," Stephen chided his best friend as if he was a father lecturing and scolding his naughty son.
"When are you going to change your bad habit, Aiden? This is your Karma. Now, fix this by yourself." Stephen added.
Aiden just put on a pitiful look, brushing his palms together while eyeing his best friends pleadingly. He wanted to ask for their help. "Just this once… and I will not repeat the sa mistake again. I will conduct a thorough investigation first before dating and flirting with a woman! I will avoid the crazy ones!"
Nathan and Stephen exchanged glances with one another. Both of them had the sa thing in mind. 'This best friend of ours is already hopeless. He will never change!'
The two n shook their heads as a sign of refusal. This ti they would let Aiden solve his own problem. He brought this upon himself. He should be responsible for his actions. They wouldn't tolerate him.
"Please do this one favor… I promise… I will help you out as well once you are both in trouble," Aiden tried to negotiate with his best friends.
But still, Nathan and Stephen just gave him a blatant "No" as an answer.
Aiden put down his wine glass and stood up. "Hey guys! How can you abandon like this? Don't you rember that I also helped you with your concerns with won?"
Aiden put his hands on his waist and turned to Nathan. "Nat! Rember how I sacrificed myself, entertaining those won with whom Ethan set you up? I have to seduce them myself to stop them from bothering you!"
After lashing out on Nathan, Aiden shifted his gaze to Stephen. "Stephen, when your cousin got cheated on by her good-for-nothing boyfriend, I have to seduce his mistress just to get back at that bastard guy."
"Now that I'm in need of my best friend's help, you are ignoring and refusing to help . Am I a bad friend to you? Did I neglect you? Not! I'm always there when both of you need ! Why can't you do the sa for ?" Aiden tried to knock on their guilty conscience.
Stephen could only facepalm as he couldn't refute that. Aiden always knew how to find a way out and get them involved. Then he glanced at Nathan, wondering what he would say. Among them, Nathan had the power to control those crazy won, as expected of the supre leader of the Syphiruz Mafia. Stephen and Aiden knew his connection in the underground world.
Nathan put down his wine glass and straightened up in his seat before glancing at Aiden. Aiden held his breath, anticipating his response.
"Fine. I will help you out… but in exchange, I will give you an important assignnt."
Aiden's eyes lit up when he heard that. "What assignnt? Just tell anything. I will do it for you!"
Nathan smirked wickedly and placed a file on the table. He opened the folder, showing Aiden a beautiful picture of a woman. It was Abigail's photo. "That's her. She will be your assignnt."
