Chapter 299 - The Greatest Ally
"I already have a plan but I need your cooperation." Sei continued and Little s.h.i.+n looked at his father with 100% trust as he agreed without hesitation.
"I will do my best to cooperate with you, dad. So please tell me what I should do. I will do everything to ensure that mommy with be ours forever." He swore with an intense determination and Sei looked back at his son, proudly. The words "as expected with my son" was proudly reflecting in his eyes.
"Good." Sei said as he gently ruffled his son"s hair.
"Actually, the biggest reason why your mother returned to us last night was because of you." Sei continued and Little s.h.i.+n"s eyes sparkled. However, what Sei said the next seconds extinguished the sparks in his eyes.
"But… that"s not enough. We have to make her our legal family again to make her stay with us forever."
"So you"re going to marry her again?"
"Yes, but in order for me to make her say yes, I need to woo her." Sei said and Little s.h.i.+n tilted his head as he looked at his dad with a puzzled face.
"Dad, does mom not like you anymore?" The little guy asked and Sei fell silent.
"It"s not like that son, it"s just that I feel that her heart isn"t exclusively mine anymore and you are the one who took more than half her heart away from me." Sei answered his son in his mind. Well, the reason why Sei was telling his little boy these things was to make the little guy understand and be willing to give them s.p.a.ce and time to be together. Sei wanted to monopolize Davi so he could finally start his move. Of course, Little s.h.i.+n was part of some of those ploys so Sei would no longer hesitate to do everything to get Little s.h.i.+n"s backing and partic.i.p.ation for the sake of his plan succeeding as soon as possible.
Sei"s silence made Little s.h.i.+n worry. It was because this father of his would only fall silent like this whenever he was unsure of his answer. Thus, Little s.h.i.+n could only deduce that what he said might be true. And of course, he was troubled because he knew that it was most likely bad news.
"I think it"s because we were separated for too long that her love for me cooled down." Sei finally replied as he stared out the window and little s.h.i.+n became a bit restless. However, after the little guy spent some moments thinking about a solution, he suddenly spoke.
"So, if you spend more time with her, her love for you will return again, right?!" The little guy exclaimed and Sei secretly smiled, as though he finally heard the words he was waiting for all this time.
"As expected with my son, you really are our dear genius son after all." Sei whispered within him exuding with fierce paternal pride.
"Mm. I guess I need time to make her love me again like before so she might agree to marry me again." Sei said and Little s.h.i.+n looked at his father with a gaze filled with fighting spirit. As Sei looked at those eyes of his, he couldn"t help but remember how Davi used to stare at him like this back in those days when she was trying to make him want her.
"Dad, rest a.s.sured, I will help you spend more time with her. I will give her to you for now but once the wedding is over, it will be my turn to spend time with her. Do we have a deal?" The little guy compromised with a serious gaze and Sei reached out his fist in front of him.
"Ok, deal!." He replied and little s.h.i.+n raised his small fist and b.u.mped it to his father"s.
In an instant, the atmosphere between the father and son drastically changed. It was as if the cold war was over and the two were now formidable partners in crime.
"Dad, do your best!" Little s.h.i.+n cheered his father up and Sei smiled.
"I definitely will. Just don"t forget to back me up when needed." Sei replied and the two smiled at each other meaningfully.
"Mm. I promise. I will be dad"s very useful back up." Little s.h.i.+n stated firmly and Sei quietly heaved a sigh of relief. He looked as though he was in extreme bliss because he finally conquered the greatest ally in the world.
"Mm. Don"t worry son, I won"t disappoint you." Sei said as he ruffled his head again when the little guy suddenly signaled him to move his ear closer to him.
"Dad, I have some advice." Little s.h.i.+n whispered and Sei raised a brow.
"Mommy told me she prefers cute over handsome. I"m afraid one of the reasons why she doesn"t like you anymore is because you"re too handsome and not cute anymore. Why don"t you try becoming cute in front of her?" The little guy continued and Sei was speechless.
