When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 318 The Encounter

Jonathan accompanied Felix to the Rainsworth residence. Officially, it was to meet the father that Elena had found for him.

In reality, he wanted to see who it was that was attempting to take the place of his sc*mbag daddy.

Therefore, he specifically asked Felix to bring him to Nathaniel’s residence.

“Jon, it seems he didn’t come today. Sigh, we won’t be able to meet him,” Felix let out a sigh.

He was still contemplating teaching the man who abandoned his wife and child a lesson together with Jonathan.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Deep down, Jonathan didn’t really care, but he pretended to say, “If you ever see him in the future, make sure to give me a call.”

“Alright.” Felix patted his chest, then added, “Once I become the CEO of Rainsworth Group, I’ll have him dealt with.”

He’s still so young. At this rate, he’s destined to become a tyrant when he grows up. I wonder who he learned it from.

Jonathan continued to play along, his gaze suddenly fixated on a tall man not too far away.

Nicholas, clad in a black coat, stood in the snow, a tall and imposing figure. His sharp eyes were also gazing at the two individuals.

His face and features were identical to Nathaniel’s, but upon a single glance, Jonathan immediately realized he was not his sc*mbag daddy.

Firstly, the latter was still in Sparaville. Secondly, as a twin himself, Jonathan was more perceptive than most. He could discern from the man’s demeanor alone that he was not Nathaniel.

Upon seeing Jonathan, Nicholas was momentarily taken aback.

This child bore some resemblance to how his brother and him in their younger days.

He briskly crossed the snow–laden path, and upon seeing him approach, Felix misinterpreted his uncle’s arrival as a response to his words about taking over the family business. Thus, he immediately tensed up, standing rigidly.

“Uncle Nathaniel.”

Nicholas acknowledged his greeting with a mere hum, then turned his gaze toward Jonathan.

“Who are you?”

“Hello, Mr. Rainsworth, my name is Jonathan Smith.” Jonathan wore a look of innocence on his face.

His eyes mirrored the strikingly handsome face of Nicholas, devoid of any emotion.

Even though Nicholas was trying to adopt Nathaniel’s way of handling matters, Jonathan could tell that the person in front of him was definitely not Nathaniel with a single glance.

Jonathan Smith… His surname is Smith!

Nicholas‘ pupils slightly contracted.

Before he could probe further, Jonathan looked at him innocently. “Mr. Rainsworth, have we met before?”

Nicholas did not refute it. “I forgot.”

“Mr. Rainsworth, you really have a poor memory. Make sure nobody else finds out,” Jonathan said, implying something.

A flicker of surprise flashed in Nicholas’s eyes, quickly vanishing.

He figured Jonathan was just a child and couldn’t possibly have an agenda. Thus, he didn’t give it much thought.

Felix, noticing that Nicholas was ignoring him, cautiously began to explain, “Uncle Nathaniel, don’t be mad. I was just kidding earlier.”

Nicholas had no idea why he suddenly apologized. “Alright, run along now with your friend.”

“Okay.” Without wasting any time, Felix took Jonathan’s hand and they started to leave.

Before leaving, Jonathan took another look at Nicholas, firmly deciding to uncover just who this man was and what his intentions were.

It was in this simple act of turning around, that Nicholas saw the shadow of a woman.

His heart skipped a beat abruptly, an image from his youth surfacing in his mind–Cecilia had turned around to call out to him.

“Nathaniel.”

Nicholas’s lips pursed, remaining so until the two small figures vanished from his sight. Only then did he leave.

Jonathan was not ready to give up just yet. He had only just met Nicholas, and there was still plenty of time left in the day.

“Felix, didn’t you claim you’d be the future CEO of Rainsworth Group? Why are you so afraid of your uncle?”

Felix’s face flushed with embarrassment. “Nonsense, I’m not scared of him at all. My mom said that Uncle Nathaniel is incompetent. He will have to rely on me to care for him in his old age.”

Rainsworth promptly responded, “What’s there to be afraid of?”
