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 withoutpeting 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 se mbag daddy is blind, there’s no way I’d lose in a codingpetition.
“If I win, you’ll have to call me ‘Daddy.”
Jonathan was instantly taken aback.
How could he call his se*mbag daddy “Daddy“?Original from N?velDrama.Org.
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 ownputers.
How did they suddenly be 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 nned 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 theputer screen.
“All right.”
Ever since he turned three, Jonathan had been bathing all by himself.
An hourter.
Nathaniel had breached Jonathan’sputer.
Jonathan sat on the sofa, looking empty and vacant, as if he had been hollowed out.
“I won,” Nathaniel stated.
His memory hadn’t fully returned yet. Once it did, he would realize that the boy who justpeted against him was the same brat who had sessfully 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 deted as a balloon with no air,pletely 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 Tud 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
That man is a devil!
Seeing that they was about to reach the school, Jonathan immediately said, “Mommy, I’m going to bete 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.
“Jon, why are you just arriving now? Didn’t we agree we’d be meeting the handsome guys today?”
Previously, Jonathan had promised to y the role of Vivian’s son, and to find her a man event more handsome than Ernest, with the intention of making Ernest seethe with jealousy at the wedding banquet.
