With Nathaniel's assurance, Elliot felt much more at ease.
"You've been looking after Asher all day. Get an early rest. I'll take the night shift."
Nathaniel half-jokingly replied, "You're his real dad, so it's good for you to spend more time with Asher. Otherwise, when he grows up, he might feel closer to me than to you."
"If he dares to do that, I'll break his legs."
Nathaniel chuckled and said, "Asher must have some bad karma from his past life to end up as your son. He's only three months old, and you're already planning how to discipline him in the future."
Elliot raised an eyebrow, not laughing at Nathaniel's joke.
"But, considering Asher's weak health, he needs to be checked for any residual S404 virus factors in his body as he grows older. He might need long-term medication. With a body like his, he'll be growing up with the need for attentive care, maybe even to the point of spoiling him. I doubt you'd be willing to lay a hand on him, and even if you were, I don't think Nana would agree," Nathaniel continued.
Elliot fell silent.
Sheena doted on the babies more than anything else, and sometimes, it made him feel like she loved them more than she loved him.
She would scold him if he accidentally pinched Asher too hard, so how could he possibly lay his hand on Asher?
Changing the subject, Elliot said, "Asher usually gets hungry around midnight, so I'll feed him then. You can take the shift after that. Splitting the night between us only shows how attentive we are to him, pampering him."
Nathaniel suppressed a smile. "Alright, I'll sleep first. Let me know when it's time to switch."
He lay on the nearby companion bed, covered himself with a thin blanket, and fell asleep almost instantly.
Glancing at Nathaniel, Elliot checked the time on his wristwatch.
It was almost midnight, and he wondered if Sheena had fallen asleep.
Since they got married, they had not been apart.
Would Sheena be uncomfortable?
Though his thoughts were in turmoil, Elliot made it through the first half of the night.
…
A day later, Miguel's team confirmed a meeting with one of the big shots on the suspect list provided by Elliot, discussing potential cooperation.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
