Elliot?
Jonathan was somewhat bewildered.
But it didn’t take long for him to realize that these guys had mistaken him for his younger brother, Elliot.
As for the surname Reese… He was probably showing off and fooling those around him.
Jonathan recognized Mason as one of his father’s henchmen, someone he despised. He was sure Mason had bullied his mother in the past.
“Why are you kidnapping me?” Jonathan calmly asked Mason.
Mason was taken aback, finding it odd, wondering why Elliot had stopped acting coy and charming.
He used to burst into tears at the drop of a hat.
However, he didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he stepped forward, taking Jonathan from the bodyguard’s grasp. “Mr. Rainsworth wants to see you,” he said.
Upon hearing that his worthless father wanted to see him, Jonathan stopped resisting. He allowed Mason to help him into the car.
He found it odd–why would his good–for–nothing father leave Sparaville and come here?
Was it just a coincidence that he was outside the mansion, or had his scoundrel of a father been tailing his mother all along?
The thought sent a chill down Jonathan’s spine.
That’s so cunning!
A chill swept in from outside the car. Nathaniel couldn’t see it, but he heard the commotion.
“Mr. Rainsworth, I’ve brought him here.”
As soon as Jonathan settled into the car, he found himself involuntarily studying Nathaniel.
Has sc*mbag daddy really gone blind?
He tentatively began, “Why did you have to seize me? Is it to threaten my mom again?”
Nathaniel didn’t respond to him, instead, he addressed Mason.
“Take him back to Sparaville first.”
Upon hearing that he was to return to Sparaville, Jonathan immediately objected.
“I’m not going to Sparaville, let me go now!”
If he were to follow him back to Sparaville, it would put his mother in a difficult position. How would Cecilia explain their relationship to Nathaniel?

Nathaniel turned to face him. “You don’t have a say in this. If you’re unwilling to go, I’ll have you killed right now!”
The intimidating aura exuding from Nathaniel left Jonathan momentarily speechless. He realized that despite being blind and amnesiac, his deadbeat father still posed a significant threat.
Jonathan forced himself to suppress his fear. After calming down, he said coldly, “You can only intimidate a child. If I were grown up, I would definitely have killed you first.”
Upon hearing these words, the shock,rendered Mason, who was outside, speechless. Without missing a beat, he immediately swept Jonathan into his arms and left.
For reasons he couldn’t quite pinpoint, Mason found that the Elliot before him bore a striking resemblance to Nathaniel. It wasn’t just in physical appearance, but also in personality.
Especially when he declared that the first thing he’d do when he grew up was to take Nathaniel’s life.
After getting into another car, Mason brushed off the peculiar thoughts in his mind, after all, he had personally arranged for the paternity test to be conducted.
This child was not Nathaniel’s son.
In the Maybach, Nathaniel’s expression remained unchanged.
Before long, the people inside the mansion emerged, and the bodyguard promptly informed him.
Cecilia and Sven departed in a car as soon as they stepped out of the mansion.
Within the mansion, Magnus was being guided outside stumbling along the way. “Hand the video over to the police, I want this deceitful couple to pay for their actions!”
He was no longer the same Magnus from his childhood, who would submit after a single beating.
In his current state, Jonathan was only intimidated by those with greater power and influence.
To him, Sven was nothing more than a common thug. Next time, with more people on his side, Jonathan was confident he could take him down.
Just then, a Maybach slowly pulled up in front of him. The window rolled down, revealing Nathaniel’s stern and cold profile.
“Who are you making pay?” Nathaniel asked gravely.
When Magnus saw him, he froze. “M–Mr. Rainsworth, I was just joking”
“If even a single hair is missing from Ceci’s head, I’ll feed yours to the dogs,” Nathaniel stated nonchalantly.
Chapter 342 I Am Your Stepfather From Now On
Magnus was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees, his legs trembling incessantly.
“Nathaniel, please don’t be mad. How could I ever harm my own sister? I’ll have the charges dropped immediately.”
It wasn’t until Nathaniel’s car had disappeared into the distance that Magnus finally exhaled a sigh of relief. He no longer dared to make grandiose claims and he knew that the free eight billion was something he could never obtain.
He never imagined that Nathaniel would actually stand up for his useless sister. After all, it was him who had the most disdain for Cecilia in the past.
Upon returning, Paula was met with the sight of her injured son, which filled her with uncontrollable
anger.
“How could she possibly deal such a ruthless blow?”
“It wasn’t her, it was one of her bodyguards,” Magnus responded.
Paula wanted to say something else, but Magnus told her that Nathaniel had gotten involved in the matter and they had to withdraw the lawsuit.
After hearing this, Paula fell silent.
“Who would’ve thought that Nathaniel still held some affection for her.”
On the way back home, Cecilia received a call from Norman. He informed her that Paula and his party had withdrawn their lawsuit.
She was finally at ease.
Meanwhile, Vivian was in a state of panic, frantically searching for Jonathan, who hadn’t shown up as expected.
She was still unaware that Jonathan had already been whisked away by his father.
“Jon, where on earth are you?”
Vivian suddenly recalled what Jonathan had mentioned earlier about wanting to meet Paula together. Without hesitation, she immediately drove toward the mansion.
However, upon arriving outside the mansion, Vivian did not see Jonathan.
She held the photograph, inquiring with the locals nearby, but nobody seemed to know anything.
Vivian had no choice but to search elsewhere, not daring to tell Cecilia prematurely.
In Sparaville, Mason and Jonathan arrived early at the designated location. Instead of heading home, they chose to wait in the car for Nathaniel.
Having been in the car for an extended period, Mason was worried that Jonathan might be hungry, so he asked, “Would you like something to cat?”

Jonathan shook his head with an air of playful defiance.
“I’m not hungry.”
He said so, but his stomach was already grumbling in protest.

Noticing the situation, Mason instructed his subordinates to go get some food and bring it back.
Before long, a heap of food was delivered into the car.
Without even sparing a glance, Jonathan leaned back in his chair, eyes closed in repose.
Mason opened a basket of chocolate muffins, their rich aroma wafting through the air enticingly.
“You really aren’t going to eat?”
Jonathan also smelled the muffins, but remained unmoved. “Hmph, I never eat in the car.”
Observing Jonathan’s haughty yet shy demeanor, Mason couldn’t help but notice how much he resembled Nathaniel.
“When are you finally going to let me go? Do you plan on keeping me in the car forever?” Jonathan asked.
“Once Mr. Rainsworth returns, he will arrange things for you.”
Mason paused for a moment before adding, “Mr. Rainsworth might be gone for a while. You should grab a bite now, instead of waiting until you’re starving and start complaining.”
Jonathan scoffed with disdain.
Did the lackeys around that deadbeat dad think he was just a three–year–old toddler?
He certainly wouldn’t cry.
However, as time passed, Jonathan became increasingly hungry.
Ironically, Mason had even started eating his meal and snacks in his presence.
“Are you really not going to eat?”
Swallowing nervously, Jonathan said, “I’m going out to eat,”
“All right.”
Mason was also worried that he might starve.
After all, he was Cecilia’s son. Given how much Nathaniel adores Cecilia now, he would naturally extend his affection to those related to her.
As nightfall arrived, Nathaniel returned. He approached the car and said to Jonathan, “Come on, come home with me.”
Home…

Nathaniel had already lifted him straight out of the car. The man was tall and imposing, and Jonathan felt as if he was soaring through the air.
“Darn it! Put me down now!!”
Nathaniel firmly slapped him on the butt. “Behave yourself. From now on, I am your stepfather.”

Jonathan felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen.
For the first time in his life, someone had dared to lay a hand on his rear end.
“You jerk! I’m going to kill you!”
Throughout the journey, Jonathan was vehemently declaring his intention to kill Nathaniel.
When they arrived home, Cecilia had just learned from Vivian that Jonathan was missing.
To her surprise, she saw Nathaniel carrying him in like he was handling a small chick.
Meanwhile, Jonathan was still raging, “I’m going to kill you!”

At first, Cecilia was startled. After regaining her composure, she quickly took Jonathan from Nathaniel’s
arms.
Jonathan had always been gentle and never threatened anyone.
Remembering how Nathaniel had previously grabbed Elliot, Cecilia held Jonathan tightly and asked, “Nathaniel, what did you do to my son?”
Jonathan, now in Cecilia’s arms, began to calm down and leaned closer to her.
Before Nathaniel could even explain, Jonathan immediately complained, “When I went to pick up the parcel today, this mean man kidnapped me without any explanation. He even said he wanted to become my stepfather.”
Stepfather…
Cecilia’s heart skipped a beat.
Nathaniel didn’t deny it. “Ceci, I know he’s yours and Calvin’s, so I brought him back home. We will live together in the future.”
After he finished speaking, Nathaniel turned to Jonathan and said, “Elliot Reese, if you’re unwilling, once you’re capable, you can kill me. Right now, your mom is my wife. Legally speaking, I am your stepfather.”
Elliot Reese…
Only then did Cecilia realized Nathaniel had mistaken Jonathan for Elliot,
She quickly covered Jonathan’s mouth, then turned to Nathaniel and said, “Calvin can take care of Eli. There’s no need for him to live with us.”
“Take care?” Nathaniel recounted to Cecilia about his encounter with Jonathan on the street today, where he saw Jonathan all alone.
“Is this how he, as a father, takes care of his child?”
In Cecilia’s arms, Jonathan, with his mouth covered, heard his words. Her dark eyes were filled with a mix of emotions.

She hadn’t expected that Jonathan would be alone on the bustling streets. Although he was a well–behaved boy, he was still just a four–year–old child after all.
She found herself unable to argue back, so she took him back to their room.
Once they reached the bedroom, Jonathan immediately apologized.
“Mommy, I’m sorry, it was my fault. Ms. Kennedy only asked me to go downstairs to pick up a parcel, it was my own decision to come find you.”
He couldn’t let Vivian take the blame.
Seeing how sensible he was, Cecilia couldn’t help but hold him tighter.
“Jon. I should be the one to apologize. I failed to take good care of you.”
Vivian was busy with work, and on top of that, she had to help Cecilia take care of her child.
Cecilia had earlier told Vivian that Jonathan was safe and back home. She reassured her not to worry and mentioned that Nathaniel had found him.
Leaning on Cecilia’s shoulder, Jonathan finally couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, he’s my dad, isn’t he?”
Cecilia’s pupils suddenly constricted, as if her heartbeat had come to a halt.
“Jonathan… how did you find out?”
She knew she couldn’t hide it anymore. One lie often required even more lies to make it believable.
“Truth be told, I’ve known he was my father for quite some time now,” Jonathan took a deep breath. “The clippings from the newspaper in your bedroom drawer, they’re all of him.”
“I’m sorry, I initially planned to tell you and Eli once you both had grown up. I’m sorry…”
Cecilia clenched her fists. “I was too selfish. I feared he would take both of you away. I’m sorry.”
At that moment, Cecilia was like a helpless child.

Upon seeing his mother upset, Jonathan panicked.
He gently lifted his small hand and held onto Cecilia, patting her back.
“Mommy, my brother and I will never leave you, and we definitely won’t let anyone take us away from you,”
Listening to Jonathan’s comforting words, Cecilia held him tight.
“Thank you, Jon.”
Jonathan was not one to act coy, and was seldom held in the arms of Cecilia.
Whenever she tried to embrace him in the past, he would coyly reject her.
In truth, he particularly enjoyed his mother’s embrace, but he was just too shy to admit it.
His face was now flushed, as if it was on fire. “Mommy, are we going to continue to deceive him? Let him continue to believe that I am Eli?”
Cecilia had not expected that at such a
age, Jonathan would actually consider this aspect.
“No need, he’s known for a long time that I gave birth to twins.”
She also didn’t want Jonathan to deceive others.
After hearing this, Jonathan thought for a moment and said, “How about this? I won’t actively tell him I’m Jonathan, is that okay?”
“Sure.”
The mother and son had made a pact.
Jonathan felt relieved, thankful that Cecilia didn’t blame him for it..
At that moment, there was a knock at the door. “Ceci.”
It was Martha.
Cecilia immediately opened the door for her.
Jonathan also stepped out. “Grandma Martha.”
When Martha saw Jonathan, she wasn’t overly surprised, Earlier, she had heard voices from outside while
she was in her room.
She responded to Jonathan with a sinile, taking him ou to enjoy some delicious food.
Only then did Cecilia arrive in the living room, where Nathaniel was already seated on the sofa, waiting for her to descend.
Nathaniel, Cecilia stepped forward. “If you’re having

Upon hearing her words, Nathaniel fell into deep thought, lifting his gaze in her direction.
“Ceci, didn’t you say that the child you bore wasn’t mine as well?”
Cecilia was taken aback.

“Adding one more to the mix won’t make a difference now.” Nathaniel paused before continuing, “Mason told me you gave birth to twins. You can bring the other child too, I can afford to take care of them.”
Cecilia could hardly believe that this was the same prideful and aloof Nathaniel from the past.
Why would he ever agree to raise someone else’s child?
When Cecilia fell into silence, Nathaniel rose and approached her, reaching out to grasp her arm.
“Aren’t you happy I brought him back? I thought you’d miss him,” he said in a gentle voice.
Cecilia hadn’t forgotten just how indifferent he had once been, and she pulled away from his grasp.
“You don’t have to do this. We were over a long time ago. The only reason we’re still living together is because of your family.”
After speaking, Cecilia went up to the second floor to set up a children’s room for Jonathan.
Meanwhile, Jonathan enjoyed some delicious food with Martha, occasionally glancing over at their direction.
When Cecilia finally left and Martha settled down for a rest, Jonathan seized the chance to visit Nathaniel, who was working.
Nathaniel’s computer screen was filled with dense lines of code, which Jonathan found surprisingly intricate. What was his deadbeat dad up to?
Was he really blind?
Just as Jonathan was about to reach out to test him, Nathaniel suddenly lifted him from behind, gripping
the collar of his shirt.
“Do you understand this?”
“Of course I can understand it!” Jonathan responded immediately.
Upon hearing this, Nathaniel was somewhat taken aback. Could such a young kid really know coding? “There’s no need to boast in front of me. Even if you can’t do it, I won’t mock you,” he probed.
“Hmph. you underestimate me.”
Jonathan immediately took over the computer, resuming his coding.
He discovered that the code Nathaniel had written appeared to be a phonetic translation software, perhaps created for those unable to read.
Jonathan was so engrossed in his coding that he was oblivious to the subtle shift in Nathaniel’s gaze.

When Her ‘Death” Couldn’t Break Him
Chapter 345 Coding Competition
During this period, Nathaniel’s memory was gradually returning. He remembered that as a child, he used to code.
After Jonathan had written a portion of the code, Nathaniel reviewed it and was surprised to find no issues at all.
After all, Jonathan was still a child, not yet adept at hiding his brilliance.
“By the time I reach your age, I’m certain I’ll surpass you.”
Nathaniel didn’t seem bothered. “We’ll talk about it once you’ve surpassed me.”
An idea suddenly popped into Jonathan’s mind. “Let’s have a contest. If you lose, you’ll willingly step away from my mom, deal?”
Nathaniel paused what he was doing, his handsome brows slightly raised.
“And what if I were to win?”
“Then, I’ll allow you to stay here.”
Nathaniel chuckled lightly. “This wager you’re proposing is far too unfair to me. Even without competing against you, I can still stay here.”
Jonathan didn’t expect his deadbeat dad to be so quick–witted.
“What is it that you want?”
Since sc*mbag daddy is blind, there’s no way I’d lose in a coding competition.
“If I win, you’ll have to call me ‘Daddy”
Jonathan was instantly taken aback.
How could he call his sc*mbag daddy “Daddy“?
As he hesitated, Nathaniel mocked, “What’s holding you back? It’s just ‘Daddy‘, isn’t it? Are you that afraid of losing?”
“Who says I’m afraid of losing? Let’s do it then.” Jonathan said, his face puffed up with determination.
By this time, Cecilia had also finished tidying up his room. As she emerged, she saw Jonathan and Nathaniel sitting in the living room, each engrossed in tapping away at their own computers.
How did they suddenly become so friendly with each other?
“E–Eli, it’s time for a bath.” Cecilia almost called out the wrong name.
She agreed with what Jonathan had said. If Nathaniel had misunderstood, then so be it. After all, she planned to leave as soon as he regained his memory.
“Mommy, just hold on a bit, take a rest first,” Jonathan said, his eyes never leaving the computer screen.

His memory hadn’t fully returned yet. Once it did, he would realize that the boy who just competed against him was the same brat who had successfully swindled him out of over seven billion.
Jonathan hung his head low, his voice barely above a whisper. “…Daddy.”
“I couldn’t quite catch that, your voice is too soft,” Nathaniel said.
Jonathan had no choice but to raise his voice. “Daddy!”
Nathaniel stood up, reaching out to ruffle his hair.
“Good boy.”
The next day, Cecilia saw that Jonathan looked as deflated as a balloon with no air, completely listless.
When she asked him what was wrong, he wouldn’t say a word.
“Mom, let’s not delve into that, just take me to school, okay?”
“All right.”
Cecilia drove Jonathan to kindergarten.
They had risen quite early as it was a few hours away from Tudela Preschool.
Jonathan was yawning incessantly, as if he hadn’t slept a wink the night before.
“Jon, are you still thinking about what happened with daddy?”
Cecilia had initially intended to ask him if he was still pondering over whether Nathaniel was his real father. Unexpectedly, Jonathan misunderstood, thinking about himself calling Nathaniel ‘Daddy‘, which instantly gave him a headache.
That man is a devil!
Seeing that they was about to reach the school, Jonathaj immediately said, “Mommy, I’m going to be late for school, I can’t talk anymore.”
Upon seeing this, Cecilia didn’t press on with further questions, simply watching as he vanished from her sight.
Inside the kindergarten, as soon as Jonathan arrived, Felix and Dante immediately gathered around him.

Jonathan had looked into Ernest. He was not just ordinarily handsome. As a top–tier lawyer, he surpassed what any average man could compare to.
The kindergarten that Vivian had chosen for Jonathan was quite impressive, filled with children from affluent families. However, their fathers, all being married men, were automatically ruled out as potential
suitors.
Time rewound to the day before.
During school, Jonathan took a moment to ask Felix, who was sitting next to him, if he knew of any wealthy and handsome individuals.
Felix, with a proud expression, replied, “Of course, only our Rainsworth family could boast of being both wealthy and handsome.”
Dante, Vivian’s nephew, leaned in and said, “Jonathan, I think your dad is really handsome.”
Jonathan wore a face full of confusion.
“My dad?”
“The guy who spoke with the director earlier,” Dante said matter–of–factly.
Felix quickly corrected him from the side, “That’s nonsense. That’s Mr. Zachary, not Jonathan’s father. One’s surname is Smith, the other’s is Sinclair. They can’t possibly be father and son.”
Dante scratched his head and replied, “But my grandpa said Mr. Zachary will marry Aunt Vivian in the future.”
“Jon is my aunt’s illegitimate child, so wouldn’t that make Mr. Zachary his father?” Dante stated as if it were a fact.
Suddenly, Felix, who had been listening, found some sense in Dante’s reasoning.
As they continued their conversation, Jonathan suggested they should take some time to look for a handsome guy.
So, Felix and Dante spent the rest of the day eagerly awaiting Jonathan’s arrival.
They had already informed their teachers that they would be taking leave for private tutoring sessions and were just waiting for Jonathan to join them.
Dante let out a yawn. “So, where are we going to find some handsome guys?”
