Chapter 530: Don't Leave Tonight

Elvis deliberately ignored Olive's calls, leaving her intensely worried. She'd been treating Lil' Nathan, his oral muscle training and acupuncture sessions interrupted by his sudden disappearance. Confused and frantic, she contacted Peterson. This time, he answered: "Hello, Miss Hart."

"What's wrong with your young master? Ask him to answer the phone. Where did he take Nathan? If anything happens to him, find me immediately. Don't scare the child…"

"Miss Hart, if you truly want what's best for Prince Nathan, consider what the young master told you last night."

Olive was stunned. "Miss Hart," Peterson continued, "the young master said you must know Nathan's background. He has your genes and was born via surrogacy; he's your son. You claim to miss him—now show your sincerity. Three years ago, you could destroy that child without hesitation. Three years later, the young master wants to see if you're still as ruthless. Call him; he's waiting."

Olive understood Elvis's game. He'd proposed using her to vent his anger, a proposition she'd refused. Now, he'd taken Lil' Nathan, cutting off all contact. She knew: refusal meant never seeing her son again. The realization crystallized Elvis's three-year plan: a deliberate two-week business trip, allowing her to bond with Nathan before his sudden removal—exploiting her maternal love.

Olive felt a chill. She'd gone this far with Elvis. The afternoon brought a call. "Hello," she answered.

"Olive," Derrick Domino's gentle voice replied. "Your phone is being tracked."

Olive instantly understood. Elvis, in Imperial, had her surrounded. "Olive," Derrick continued, "I just want to know when you're coming to Greenland. You've been in Imperial long enough."

His urgency, unusual for his laid-back nature, indicated a pressing need. "Derrick, I need more time. You can make the arrangements for Greenland."

"Okay, Olive. We'll be waiting." The "we" caught her attention. Were Levi and Ivy leaving Visionary for Greenland with Derrick?

Olive's own mission awaited in Greenland, but Nathan was her immediate concern. Before leaving, she needed to speak with him. Calmly, she called Elvis. His warm, magnetic voice answered after two rings: "Have you decided?"

Her fingers trembled as she asked, "Can I… be with you once?"

"One meeting, and you can spend a day with Nathan," Elvis declared, setting the terms.

Olive's lashes fluttered as she bit her lip. "Seeing Nathan once isn't enough… Don't you ever sleep with the same woman twice?"

"Olive, you're intelligent. Find a way to make me an exception."

After a pause, she conceded, "I want to see Nathan now."

Elvis agreed. "He's at Serenity Villa. Don't leave tonight."

"Okay…"

At Serenity Villa, Aunty Layla greeted Olive like a savior. "Miss Hart, thank goodness! Little Master hasn't been to school and won't eat; he's been in a cold war with his father."

Olive went upstairs, but Lil' Nathan burst out, "Teacher!" He ran into her arms. "Nathan, do you miss me?" she asked.

He nodded emphatically, "Yeah, but Dad won't let me out!"

Olive reassured him, "Don't worry, I told your dad you can go to nursery and see me."

"Really?" His eyes lit up.

"Of course. Your dad's probably menopausal; his mood swings are understandable. Let's ignore him." Elvis, who had experienced early menopause, remained silent.

Lil' Nathan smiled. "You'll play with me?"

Olive stayed. Elvis didn't return for dinner, so she ate with Nathan and Aunty Layla. Later, while reading, headlights approached, and a Rolls-Royce Phantom arrived. Elvis was back. Aunty Layla opened the door.
