Chapter 339 Sharing Information With Nathan

Day Forty...

~~*****~~

"Are you sure? Who knows Stephen hides his child from everyone... including you?" Cherry insisted on Stephen having a secret child.

"Cherry... you know what? You are just drunk! Stop overthinking! I don't know where you got this crazy idea that Stephen has a child." Aiden looked at her helplessly. He grabbed her hands that were holding her collar. He tried to remove them from tugging his shirt.

"Do you plan to strangle me?" Aiden complained.

Cherry scrunched her nose and frowned deeply before releasing Aiden from her grasp. "Fine. I will investigate it myself!"

Aiden shook his need. "There is nothing to investigate. Believe me. You will just waste your time."

Cherry wagged her forefinger in front of Aiden. "No! No! No! I have to find the truth myself! Stephen will not disclose anything to me... because of this damn patient-doctor confidentiality!"

Cherry grabbed her bottle of beer and finished it in one gulp.

"Cherry. Stop drinking already. You are at your limits!" Aiden distanced the other beers from Cherry.

He looked at the bar counter and called the attention of the waiter. He was about to settle their bill. He couldn't let Cherry get drunk further otherwise, she would suffer from a great hangover tomorrow.

When the waiter arrived, Aiden left the payment on the table, leaving some tips for the waiter before he guided Cherry outside.

Cherry was staggering on her footing. She could no longer walk straight and Aiden had to hold her body and support her balance. After struggling a little, the two finally reached their car.

Aiden opened the car door and positioned Cherry inside the front passenger seat. He buckled her seatbelt before stepping inside the car in the driver's seat.

Cherry continued murmuring something.

"If not Stephen, then who is the father of her child?"

"Where is the baby? What happened to her baby? Did she leave her baby in an orphanage? I have to find her baby!"

"Sis! Who took advantage of you? Did the guy abandon you? Were you heartbroken because of him?"

Aiden sucked his teeth as he listened to her. He thought she was just spouting some random things because she was drunk.

Aiden already started the car when Cherry began to sob in her seat.

"Sis! Why did you hide this from me? Can't you trust me? I should have been there in your darkest moment."

"Did you abandon your child? But why? Do you hate your child's father?" Cherry continued asking herself, her tears pouring like raindrops.

She knew the feeling of being abandoned. She suffered a lot for being an unwanted child. She felt horrible just thinking that her sister Phantomflake decided to abandon her baby.

From Country R, Phantomflake and Miss Frost came back to Country M without a child. There were only two of them who returned to this country. If her calculation was correct, the child had been born at that time.

"Oh my gosh! What if the real father took the child away from my sister Phantom?"

Aiden's attention had been caught by Cherry's last remarks. 'What did she just say? Is she referring to Phantomflake? Phantomflake has a child? She is a mother?'

Aiden gasped when the realization dawned on him. 'Oh my God! This is an important piece of information. I have to tell this to Nathan.'

To make sure that Aiden didn't mishear anything, he asked Cherry for confirmation.

"Cherry, who are you talking about? Who has a child? Your sister? Is the child a boy or a girl?"

Cherry just stared at him for a long moment before she responded. "My sis. This is my problem. You don't have to know. Just mind your own business."

Cherry leaned on her seat, settling down. She felt like her head was spinning. She was becoming dizzy and was about to throw up.

"Can you drive me home... faster? I wanna sleep," Cherry commanded.

Aiden just bobbed his head obediently. He continued driving. After a while, he realized that Cherry had been staying in two houses.

"Where should I drop you? In your place or Stephen's place?" Aiden asked her. Cherry didn't respond. He turned around only to find out that Cherry fell asleep. No wonder she suddenly became quiet. She was no longer talking to herself.

'Sigh. She can't hold her liquor. Next time, I will not allow her to drink more than one bottle.' Aiden made a mental note.

Aiden was still on the road when he received a phone call coming from his place. His Butler informed him that his favorite dog was sick.

Feeling worried about his pet, Aiden drove straight into his house, instead of dropping  Cherry in Stephen's place.

It was already 8:00 pm when Aiden arrived home. He carried Cherry, bringing her to the guest room. The Butler and the maids were no longer surprised to see Cherry. She had been there in the house before. She was the first woman Aiden brought home.

"Aunt Leticia, please assist her to change her clothes so that she can sleep comfortably. I will just call someone." Aiden requested his maid before heading to his study room. Cherry was still sound asleep.

After leaving Cherry in the care of his maid, Aiden called Nathan. He would like to ask him whether he was aware of Phantomflake's child or not.

Nathan just finished his dinner together with Abigail and Ethan when he answered Aiden's call.

"What's up?" Nathan asked Aiden. He stepped out of the house using the backdoor and stayed on the balcony.

"Nate, are you busy?" Aiden was still assessing Nathan's mood.

"Nope. Why?" Nathan responded shortly. He wondered why Aiden called him at this hour.

"There is something I wanna ask you. It's about Phantomflake..."

Nathan's expression changed at the mention of Phantomflake's name. He was now all ears on Aiden. "What is it?"

"Hmm. Nate, are you aware that Phantomflake has a child?" Aiden asked him curiously.

That question made Nathan speechless for five seconds.

"What are you talking about?" Nathan asked back when he recovered.

"I just heard from Black Rose... that Phantomflake has a child. Can you confirm if it is true or not?"

Nathan: "..."
