100 Days to Seduce the Devil

After discussing his plan with Stephen and Cherry, Aiden went back to the facility to talk to Nathan and Ethan.

He decided to inform Nathan about his plan first before asking for Ethan\'s help. If Nathan wouldn\'t agree, Stephen would step in to convince him. 

Nathan stayed in his small office, killing his time. He was still affected by Abigail\'s behavior toward him. Aiden noticed the troubled expression of his best friend as he entered the room.

"A penny for your thoughts!" Aiden said, catching Nathan\'s attention.

Nathan failed to notice his arrival since his mind was preoccupied with Abigail.

"What are you doing here?" Nathan asked him coldly. He was not in the mood to entertain Aiden.

"I\'m here to give a solution to your problem!" Aiden moved to Nathan\'s side and tapped his shoulder.

Nathan squinted his eyes at him, feeling suspicious. "Solution? What are you up to?"

Aiden smirked at him and confidently said, "I came up with a strategy so that Abigail would remember you. I propose to have a field trip or a vacation trip for you and Abigail. You should spend time with her and make her remember your moments together. I already booked this place. You can both relax and recuperate here."

Aiden spoke spontaneously, informing Nathan about the details of this trip. Nathan just quietly listened to him. He didn\'t hate the idea of traveling for vacation and spending time with Abigail.

"Okay. I agree. Let\'s do this!" Nathan agreed without a second thought. He felt desperate so he wanted to try all means as long as Abigail could remember him.

"Good! That\'s the spirit, Bro! Now, I need to ask for Ethan\'s help. Through him, we will try to get Mr. Hiroshi\'s permission." Aiden grinned from ear to ear, feeling hopeful.

"I can talk to Mr. Hiroshi and ask for his permission." Nathan volunteered.

But Aiden wagged his forefinger in front of Nathan while shaking his head. "No! No! No! Don\'t try your luck, Buddy. After what happened in Caceres Hills, I don\'t think Mr. Hiroshi will allow you to go on a trip with Abigail alone. He will be strict now."

"We must use your son\'s charm to convince the old man," Aiden added.

"Okay. Suit yourself." Nathan didn\'t argue with Aiden anymore. His best friend had a point.

"I gotta go and find Ethan. See you later, Nate!"

Aiden left Nathan\'s office in a rush. He searched for Ethan. After a few minutes, he found the young boy, playing with Mr. Hiroshi. The two were having fun as they played mobile games. Ethan taught Mr. Hiroshi how to play and installed an app on his mobile phone.

"Mr. Hiroshi, may I borrow my godson for a while?" Aiden took his courage to excuse Ethan.

Both Ethan and Mr. Hiroshi glanced at him in puzzlement. "Why Uncle? What do you want from me?" Ethan questioned him.

"There is something I want to discuss with you," Aiden said, smiling sheepishly.

"Gramps… let\'s pause our game. I\'ll just talk to Uncle Aiden. I\'ll be back soon," Ethan politely said.

Mr. Hiroshi smiled at him and nodded, "Okay, kiddo. Go ahead. I\'ll wait for you inside. I will just check on my daughter. She must be talking to Dave."

Aiden immediately pulled Ethan toward the corner. They found a bench near Abigail\'s ward. The two settled down on the bench.

"Ethan, your father needs your help. He is heartbroken since Miss Abi can\'t remember him. But I find a way to help the two. I suggested a vacation trip for both of them. They need to spend time with each other. Will you help us convince Mr. Hiroshi and Madam Priyanshi to allow Abigail to go on this trip?"

"No! I won\'t!" Ethan promptly responded, making Aiden speechless. Ethan was aware that no matter what they would do, Abigail won\'t remember his father. Those memories only remained in Jane\'s mind, not in Abigail\'s mind. They would just waste their time.

"Huh? Why? Don\'t you want to see your Dad happy? I thought you wanted Abigail to become your mom?" Aiden scratched his face, feeling a little bit confused.

"Not anymore. I changed my mind," Ethan nonchalantly said.

Aiden heaved a deep sigh when he heard that. "What made you change your mind? Don\'t you like Miss Abi anymore?"

Ethan was not able to respond right away. The Abigail he liked was none other than Jane… the soul who lived in Abigail\'s body for fifty days. But after knowing Jane killed his biological mother, Ethan was torn between liking her or hating her.

But he couldn\'t stop himself from caring about Jane. He was still worried about her. Deep inside, he didn\'t want her to die. And he heard that Jane might die if she failed to win Nathan\'s heart and if they revealed to Nathan that Jane was the woman who made him fall in love, not Abigail.

"I don\'t want my father to get hurt and I want him to be happy, that\'s why I am refusing to cooperate. Miss Abi is not the woman for my father." Ethan said meaningfully.

\'The woman who loves my father is Miss Jane… not Miss Abi.\' Ethan added in his thoughts.

Aiden looked at him helplessly. He couldn\'t believe that Ethan didn\'t want to cooperate with them. And why was he saying that Abigail was not the woman for his father? Ethan was acting strangely and he couldn\'t figure out what was running in his mind.

"Ethan, please. Don\'t be like this. You are making me confused. Your Dad is having a hard time. We need to help him. Just this once. If this won\'t work, then we will stop. Your father just needs a chance to get close to Abigail. Don\'t take that away from him." Aiden put on a pleading look. He was trying to get Ethan\'s sympathy.

"I\'ve already prepared everything. Your Uncle Stephen will be coming with us. This trip is also important to me because I will be able to spend quality time with Cherry. I will continue pursuing her. Please help us make this trip possible, Ethan… for your father\'s sake."

Ethan could only sigh in defeat. His Uncle Aiden was so determined to do this vacation trip. "Okay. I will try. But will Miss Jane join you on this trip?" Ethan asked him expectantly.

"Yes! Cherry will invite her to come with us."

There was a gleam in Ethan\'s eyes when he heard that. "Fine. I\'ll talk to Gramps. But I want to join this trip as well!"

Aiden: "..."

\'Eh? This trip is for adults only. Who will babysit Ethan? Nathan has to focus on Abigail. Me on Cherry. Stephen to Phantomflake.\'

Seeing the hesitation in Aiden\'s eyes, Ethan arched his eyebrow. "Hmmph. Don\'t you want me to tag along with you? If that is the case, then I won\'t talk to Gramps. You can ask for his permission, yourself." Ethan turned around to leave but Aiden quickly stopped him.

"Alright, Ethan! You are coming with us! Don\'t be upset." Aiden gave in to the young boy\'s demand. He had no choice. He needed Ethan\'s cooperation.

"Good. Uncle. Then leave this to me. I\'ll convince them."
