100 Days to Seduce the Devil-Chapter 38 The Magnificent Trio

Day Three…

~~*****~~

After conniving with his son about gathering Abigail's personal information, Nathan bade goodbye to his son. He left the Dream Knight Academy and proceeded to Towerville City to meet his best friend, Stephen.

Stephen was a psychologist in profession. He is the only son of their family doctor, Dr. Zhao. Among Nathan's circle of friends, Stephen and Aiden were the only two people he could trust the most.

However, between his two best friends– Aiden and Stephen, Nathan often confides his feelings and inner thoughts with Stephen, especially since he is a professional psychologist. He was certain that his secret was safe with Stephen, unlike with Aiden who is very talkative.

Nathan, Stephen, and Aiden were known in the country as the Magnificent Trio. They were famous heartthrobs and bachelors– one from the family of prestigious doctors, one from the family of wealthy and successful businessmen, and one from the family of outstanding engineers. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

Stephen Zhao built his private clinic at the center of Towerville City. Despite his pleasing personality and gorgeous appearance, Stephen remained bachelor just like his two best friends. These three men have different personalities and attitudes.

Among the three, Stephen appeared to be the good guy and a gentleman. On the other hand, Nathan and Aiden were quite opposite; one was loyal to one woman while chasing away the other and one kept on changing girlfriends every month as if he was just changing clothes.

When Nathan arrived at Stephen's private clinic, he was surprised to see Aiden with him. He thought he could talk to Stephen alone.

"Hey, Nat! You are also here! Are you having a problem with a woman too? Come here, join us!" Aiden welcomed Nathan with his blabbering mouth.

Aiden even plopped down on the sofa and patted the seat next to him, inviting Nathan who was contemplating whether to enter the room or not. He regretted coming here without asking Stephen first if he had an appointment with their other friend.

Stephen just laughed huskily as he could somehow tell what was running in Nathan's mind right now based on his expression alone. Before Nathan could change his mind and leave, Stephen approached him, holding his right shoulder while motioning him to come inside.

Nathan just glanced at him helplessly before sighing a deep sigh. He couldn't turn back now. Aiden and Stephen both cornered him today.

"So what's up, Nat? When are you going to introduce us to your future daughter-in-law," Aiden opened his blabbering mouth once more, teasing Nathan. Aiden had this keen memory and he had not forgotten what Little Ethan had mentioned during Old Man Xu's birthday party.

Stephen shifted his gaze back and forth between Nathan and Aiden. "Daughter-in-law?" he asked them in puzzlement.

"Our godson, Ethan, talked about some random girl, calling her his future wife-to-be during his grandfather's birthday party." Aiden butted in, not allowing Nathan to speak up for himself.

Nathan just rubbed his temples recalling that scene. He knew it. Aiden wouldn't let go of that so easily.

"Hmm, don't tell me your son has given up matchmaking you with women and he has now decided to find his own woman?" Stephen chuckled at that thought. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

Nathan always complained to him numerous times that his son, Ethan, was shipping him to other women. Stephen just advised him not to be harsh on them and understand Ethan's intention. He might be longing for a mother's love, that's why he kept searching for a woman who would date his father.

Nathan just ignored Stephen's remarks. He walked towards the sofa opposite to Aiden. He didn't want to sit next to Aiden because he was the one who brought this topic up.

"By the way, why are you here?" Nathan asked Aiden coldly. He didn't hide the displeasure in his eyes.

Aiden clutched his heart, pretending that he was hurt. "Ouch! Why are you giving me that scary look, Nat? I am his client today. I already reserved an appointment with Stephen. You are the walk-in client so you don't have the right to complain."

"If you don't want to see my face… then you should be the one to leave," Aiden added, pouting his lips while putting on an upset face.

"Hey, you two, stop fighting like dogs and cats. I can cater to you both at the same time. Besides, it's been so long since the last time we gathered together in one place. Let's have some catching up together." Stephen intervened, stepping into the middle of their arguments.

He passed them some glasses and picked up a bottle of wine inside his cabinet. Nathan and Aiden accepted the wine glasses as Stephen started to pour them some drinks.

"So what's up, my dear brothers? I know you will not visit me unless you are troubled by something. Now, I am here to listen to each of your concerns." Stephen sat down next to Nathan.

"I'm in trouble. I have this woman who refused to break up with me. I already told her about my dating rule. But still, she is insisting on continuing our relationship. I already made myself clear that I don't date the same woman for more than a month! Now, she is threatening of committing suicide! I think she is already obsessed with me. Now, Buddy, please tell me how I should deal with that one crazy obsessed woman?!" Aiden lamented exasperatedly.

Nathan could only click his tongue at his best friend's misery. He had already expected this to happen. It served him right for being a playboy. This was not the first time it happened to Aiden. He already experienced this but Aiden never learned his lesson.

He had to bug Nathan to intervene just to stop those women from stalking and bothering him all over again.

"I already gave you proper advice for this. How many times should I remind you that women are not a plaything? You should have stopped playing around with them. They are fragile and deserve to be loved by men," Stephen chided his best friend as if he was a father lecturing and scolding his naughty son.

"When are you going to change your bad habit, Aiden? This is your Karma. Now, fix this by yourself." Stephen added.

Aiden just put on a pitiful look, brushing his palms together while eyeing his best friends pleadingly. He wanted to ask for their help. "Just this once… and I will not repeat the same mistake again. I will conduct a thorough investigation first before dating and flirting with a woman! I will avoid the crazy ones!"

Nathan and Stephen exchanged glances with one another. Both of them had the same thing in mind. 'This best friend of ours is already hopeless. He will never change!'

The two men shook their heads as a sign of refusal. This time they would let Aiden solve his own problem. He brought this upon himself. He should be responsible for his actions. They wouldn't tolerate him.

"Please do me this one favor… I promise… I will help you out as well once you are both in trouble," Aiden tried to negotiate with his best friends.

But still, Nathan and Stephen just gave him a blatant "No" as an answer.

Aiden put down his wine glass and stood up. "Hey guys! How can you abandon me like this? Don't you remember that I also helped you with your concerns with women?"

Aiden put his hands on his waist and turned to Nathan. "Nat! Remember how I sacrificed myself, entertaining those women with whom Ethan set you up? I have to seduce them myself to stop them from bothering you!"

After lashing out on Nathan, Aiden shifted his gaze to Stephen. "Stephen, when your cousin got cheated on by her good-for-nothing boyfriend, I have to seduce his mistress just to get back at that bastard guy."

"Now that I'm in need of my best friend's help, you are ignoring me and refusing to help me. Am I a bad friend to you? Did I neglect you? Not! I'm always there when both of you need me! Why can't you do the same for me?" Aiden tried to knock on their guilty conscience.

Stephen could only facepalm as he couldn't refute that. Aiden always knew how to find a way out and get them involved. Then he glanced at Nathan, wondering what he would say. Among them, Nathan had the power to control those crazy women, as expected of the supreme leader of the Syphiruz Mafia. Stephen and Aiden knew his connection in the underground world.

Nathan put down his wine glass and straightened up in his seat before glancing at Aiden. Aiden held his breath, anticipating his response.

"Fine. I will help you out… but in exchange, I will give you an important assignment."

Aiden's eyes lit up when he heard that. "What assignment? Just tell me anything. I will do it for you!"

Nathan smirked wickedly and placed a file on the table. He opened the folder, showing Aiden a beautiful picture of a woman. It was Abigail's photo. "That's her. She will be your assignment."
