Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1691 - 209: Where Is My Mommy?



The higher Clark climbed, the closer to his Mother he felt.

When Paul saw his son, he began to panic. "Don't worry!" he shouted. "Daddy will get you down from there!"

When Clark saw his Father, he was so afraid that he wet his pants. "Don't come up here," he cried. "You are all bad guys. Even you, Daddy!"

Where is my Mommy? - Clark wondered. She had said she was on her way, but he had not seen her yet, and he was beginning to wonder if she would show.

One of the servants shouted up to him: "Little master, don't move! I am coming up!"

When Clark heard that, he began to scramble up the tree as fast as he could. If his Mother came, he wanted her to be able to see him from afar. That way, she could rescue him from all of the bad people that were trying to force him down.

The servant stepped away from the tree. Paul gave her a dirty look, and she hastily explained her actions: "I just wanted to get the little master down, but as soon as I touched the tree, he became agitated, and he started climbing again. I was afraid that he would fall, so I stopped what I was doing."

Paul nodded and motioned for everyone to stand down. Sure enough, when Clark saw that the bodyguards and servants had left the tree, he calmed down.

Paul looked up and shouted, "What do you want?"

"I want my Mommy?" Clark wailed. Paul turned to one of his servants and said, "I don't know what to do..."

"The only thing to do now is to appease the little master's mood," the servant replied. "Once he's down, you can solve the deeper issue. After all, the child's body is delicate. If he falls from such a height, he will likely die..."

When Nancy and Crystal arrived, they were surprised to see everyone surrounding a tree. They were looking up, so Nancy looked up, and when she saw her son, she almost fainted.

Luckily, she didn't.

Nancy scrambled out of her car, raced over to the tree, and shouted up to her son: "Clark! Mommy is here, so don't move."

Clark looked down, and when he saw Nancy, his eyes brightened immediately. It turned out that his Mommy had been thinking about him, and now he knew that she wouldn't abandon him. "Mommy!" he shouted, and he stood up so that she could see him better.

Nancy turned to Paul, punched him in the chest, and said, "Why did you force such a little child to climb up a tree? What are you trying to prove? Don't you know that he could get killed?!?!"

Paul grabbed her wrist and pushed her away. "Woman!" he hissed. "You are too much! He got up there on his own volition."

Nancy shook her head and said, "I don't believe it. He is too little. A child of his age is incapable of climbing a tree."

Paul looked at her incredulously. "Are you crazy?" he asked. "How dare you talk to me in this tone?"

"When it comes to my son, I do dare," Nancy replied. She stared at him fiercely and said, "If anything happens to Clark, I will make you regret you were ever born!"

This was the first time that Paul had seen Nancy like this, and her reaction pleased him. Thus, when they finally got Clark down from the tree, he allowed the boy to embrace his Mother.

At the Beverly villa - After having disappeared for 24 hours, Nathan's body was finally found. A maid saw him on the floor, and she shrieked because she thought that he was dead at first. She was so scared that the bucket in her hands fell to the ground, tipped over, and spilled soapy water all over the floor.

Vic had also been attacked, which meant that he, too, needed to be roused. He woke up first, though, and once he was capable of walking, he rushed to Nathan's bedside. It was not long after that that Nathan woke up. He anxiously looked around the room. It seemed that something was missing. He turned to Vic and asked, "What happened?"

"Crystal escaped," Vic replied. "And she used a tranquilizer gun on us on the way out. She shot me with one dart, but you got three. That is why you can't sit up, but I can."

Nathan sighed, and after a moment, he said, "I think I remember now."

Vic: "You did everything you could to stop her, but I guess she just really wanted to go... But who knows, maybe she will come back..."

Nathan: "I doubt it. If she left with Eric, she'd never come back."

Vic: "That's the thing. According to the inside line, Miss Smith did not return to the Bush's Mansion with Eric, and rumor has it that not only did she dr*g him too, but he is out looking for her. So she fucked you both over!"

Nathan: "Have any efforts been made on our part to locate her while we were passed out? Without Eric's help, she is far less likely to be able to hide from us successfully!"

"Our men have been looking," Vic replied.

"She hasn't been found yet, but every place we check where she isn't there narrows down our search. Your men are thorough and persistent. We will find her, and if she can't be reasoned with, we will bring her back by force!"

Nathan tried to sit up, but he was too weak. He could still barely move his arms and legs, and his mind was a bit hazy. "I can't believe she did this to us," he muttered. He felt a headache coming on, and he absently rubbed his temples.

Not knowing what to say, Vic wisely remained quiet.

Eventually, Nathan looked up, and he smiled. "This is just another game of Cat and Mouse," he said. "When I am back on my feet, I will find her.. And when I do, not even the old Davis will be able to stop me from doing as I please with her."
