I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband
Chapter 298 Forging an Alliance"There’s actually a huge problem." Sei uttered and little Shin’s brows knitted hard. He looked at his father intently as though he couldn’t wait to hear what was the problem he’s talking about, while Sei was scrutinizing every change of expression on his son’s face.
After setting the right atmosphere to spill the beans, Sei continued talking.
"Little Shin, your mom and I aren’t legally married anymore." He said and the little boy blinked before his curious eyes dilated with shock and disbelief.
Truth be told, little Shin knows almost everything about his mother. Since he was little, Sei already instilled to him that he has a loving mother that will soon come back to them. Sei also told him stories about her, telling his son just how lovely and sweet she was as he reminisced the past while his son was treating his father’s narration as a heartwarming bed time story. That was why Little Shin grew up knowing lots of things about his mother and of course, one of the big contributor to the knowledge he had about her was his gossiping Uncle Zaki.
Little Shin also grew up treating all information about her as precious. Not only because his father was setting an example for him but also because when the father and son talk about her, it was filled with lots of loving memories and conversations are so blissful. Little Shin knows without a doubt that both of them loves her. He also knew that his father loved her so much, that was why it was such a shock for him to hear the news from him.
"W-why? How did that happen?" The little guy asked. His eyes look troubled.
"All documents about our marriage were destroyed." Sei answered and the boy immediately asked again.
"Destroyed? Who destroyed them?!" he exclaimed and Sei glanced at the window for less than a second before he answered his son without hesitation.
"My formidable enemy." He said and Little Shin stood in front of him with a displeased face.
"Dad! How could you let your enemy do that? You’re supposed to be the most powerful man and yet you failed to protect something very important?" Little Shin exclaimed. His eyes were still overflowing with disbelief when Sei landed his hand on his head.
"It’s an inevitable accident. And I assure you, it will never happen again. Never." He assured his son and Little Shin seemed to calmed down a little.
"Your mother doesn’t know about this yet so you must keep it a secret." He continued when little Shin puffed his cheeks. He looked at his father with great disapproval.
"I don’t want to hide anything from mommy. Besides, even if you’re not her husband anymore, I will forever be her son. This is dad’s fault anyway." The little guy retorted but Sei wasn’t fazed. He just looked as though, he expected his son to answer him this way. He then bent and looked intently at his son’s eyes.
"Well, that’s true. But Little Shin, if your mother will learn about this, she will leave the house because she does not legally belong to this family anymore. Yes, you will forever be her son but listen... if she leaves us and she will find another m..." Sei choked and paused. Even though he was just saying this to coax his son to make him his formidable ally, he still just couldn’t imagine his wife finding another man. He can’t even make himself say it. However, for the sake of his plan, Sei swallowed an air and continued explaining.
"I-if your mother will marry s-someone else, what do you think will happen to us?" Sei asked and Little Shin fell silence for a while until his brows slowly creased hard.
"Mommy will have a new f-f-family and..." For some reason, the father and son looked at each other with the same expression. They remained there unmoving and speechless for a long while, looking as though just thinking about their beloved finding someone else made them felt like their world was about to fall apart.
"D-dad. Please do something." Little Shin was the first to speak. He panicked and reached out his hand and tugged Sei’s sleeves. He looked helpless as he begged his father for the first time seriously.
That moment, Sei, who didn’t expect himself to feel this extreme anxiety just by thinking that his wife might marry another man, breathed deeply. Well, he never once thought about something like this before, he never thought this would ever happen that even thinking about it was already close to doomsday for him.
Gladly, Sei still managed to calm himself. He held his son’s shoulders and looked at him with strong conviction.
"Little Shin, I swear to you that I will never let that happen. Never." He assured and when Little Shin saw the terrifying and absolute look in his father’s eyes, his fighting spirit also blazed in flame. The two of them stared at each other, forging an alliance, as their eyes seemed telling the words, "over our dead bodies".
