Picking up the keys warily, I gave it a closer look. “Are you saying your men won’t follow me like a
swarm of flies anymore?”
“No, they will keep their distance and are only responsible for your safety. Also, they won’t interfere with
your decisions,” Nathaniel explained.
I nodded in acknowledgment, as I found the arrangement to be reasonable. Pushing my luck, I asked,
“Do I only have freedom of movement, or can I also do whatever I want?”
Spreading his hands, Nathaniel leaned back into the sofa. “It’s entirely up to you.”
His answer caught me by surprise, as he was unusually approachable.
Nevertheless, Nathaniel’s mood had always been volatile and could change at a moment’s notice.
Therefore, before he changed his mind, I knew I had to take milk it for all it’s worth.
“Fine.” I took the keys boldly, along with the phone and bank card. At the same time, I made a brazen
request. “In that case, please bring Gregory over here as I miss him. Only he will do, as he knows you
well.”
Just when I headed upstairs with my things, I turned around at the staircase and added, “Go now
because I would like to have a meal with him.”
“Sure,” Nathaniel agreed. Before I reached the second floor, he was already gone.
Half an hour later, the phone Nathaniel gave me rang. John had called to check if he was to allow
Nathaniel to take Gregory with him. Once he received my confirmation, he ended the call.
Finally, I managed to see Gregory an hour later.
After dinner, I brought Gregory back to the room and stopped Nathaniel by the door with the excuse
that we needed some family time.
The moment I closed the door, I wiped away the genial expression I had when facing Nathaniel.
Lowering my gaze at Gregory, who was holding onto a small computer, I brought him to the bathroom
and turned on the shower. Then, I knelt down and asked seriously, “Sweetheart, how are your
computer science studies coming along? Can you check if the room is bugged?”
“Mommy, are you saying that someone is eavesdropping on us?” Gregory was stunned.
As there was no time to explain, I summarized, “That’s right. This will be our secret, and you’re not
allowed to tell anyone else. Now, can you do it?”
Gregory nodded. Turning his computer on, he began to type on his keyboard while reassuring me.
“Mommy, just wait for a while.”
Given how fast he worked, the furious taps on the keyboard kept pace with my pounding heart.
After a long while, I was finally jolted by Gregory’s elated voice. “It’s done, Mom. There’s no one Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
listening in on us right now.”
Heaving a sigh of relief, I brought him back into the room and handed him my phone. “Can you check if
there’s anything suspicious on this phone?”
“Mmm-hmm!” When he noticed that I was in a good mood, Gregory was equally motivated.
After half an hour, he stared at the phone dejectedly.
“What is it, sweetheart? Is it too difficult? “ I walked over and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
“No, Mommy, there’s actually nothing wrong with the phone,” Gregory commented in surprise.
Stunned, I was taken aback at how liberal Nathaniel was this time. “Good to hear that there are no
problems. I’m just worried that I had missed something. After doing so much, are you tired?”
“No, I’m not.” Gregory shook his head and looked at me earnestly as if he knew how urgent the
situation was. With a serious tone, he asked, “Mommy, is there anything else you need me to do?”
“Good boy.” I tousled his hair with pride. Also, I noticed that he had grown taller after being apart for so
long. Now that we had been reunited, I felt guilty for getting him to do work instead of spending quality
time with him.
However, the moment I thought about Ashton’s predicament, I steeled my heart. Smiling, I requested,
“In that case, Gregory, please help me install a GPS app, and make sure it is undetectable.”
