I Became The Protagonist’s Child chapter 57

Rosalie looks at her grandson who is drawing while lying on the floor, she stoops down to take a closer look as the drawing of the person looks familiar.

Taking a closer look she immediately recognizes this person and soon concern express across her face, “Noah.” She spoke in a gentle manner.

“Yes, Nana?”

“Do you know this man?”

She is concern of course, Sihan didn’t tell him about his father so if he is drawing this man it could be that he us secretly approaching her grandbaby. Rosalie’s blood runs cold at the idea, her child and her grandbaby may be in danger. She can’t lose them again…

“It’s from a bad dream,” Noah answers.

“Bad dream?” Rosalie inquires.

“Don’t tell mom but… I get bad dreams and this Mr. Is in it.” Noah looks away.

Rosalie swallows could it be that Noah remembers bits of pieces of his father?

Noah on the other hand is worried, he feels concerned he can’t possibly tell them that knows this man and is afraid that his mother will try to reunite with him. He hates the idea to his bones. If the butterfly effect comes into place… his mom might suffer.

Noah is terrified, he bites the inner side of lips. What should he do? Sabotage but how?

He could throw tantrums? Will it work? No, the scum will only have it that his mother brainwash him and be further convinced to take him away. What?! What should he do?!

Soon blood drips from down his nose and on to the papers.

“NOAH!!”

She immediately picks him up as he tries to wipe the blood away, his head where hurting his little body still can’t keep up with his mind.

“Don’t wipe with your hands,” she said worriedly as she used the tissue.

“My head hurts Nana,”

“Oh my baby, I’ll get you some medicine you’ve done enough for the day.” She said,

She takes him to the bedroom, placing him inside, since spending the holidays he sleeps between her and her husband and they both hug his chubby body as a soft comfort pillow. She knows that her grandson is very mature but that will not stop her from showing deep love, but the nose bleed worries her. Sihan said he was not a sickly child but his nosebleed and headache…

After giving him some medicine which made him fall asleep, she went to pick up the phone to call Sihan.

Sihan, who is taking care of the shop, answers the call from his mother with a smile, he is expecting a call around this time.

His mother loves to talk about Noah both in fascination and love, she could barely wrap her elderly mine around the genius and independent grandson. He could remember her saying “oh, did you know he studies deep rooted mathematics? My old brain could never!”. “Oh! Little grandson is so well behaved. He eats all his veggies and fruits without coaxing, he even reads this old lady a bedtime story!”

“Oh And! Today he painted us, such is our genius, even washing his own dishes and putting away his toys!”

The list goes on and on with his mother chit chatting hours on the phone at night, Sihan misses his baby terribly but hearing how his parents adore him. He can bear it before he could say anything the doorbell rings, Sihan’s body freezes upon seeing Nathaniel. Reflexively hangs up the phone staring at him, this time Nathaniel seems to be really prepared.

Nathaniel smiles, putting his suitcase on the counter, anxiety fills his heart as he watches Nathaniel put the papers on the counter.

“I won’t sign,” Sihan said.

“No, no, read it first…” he said, gently putting his hand on his chin.

Sihan suspiciously looks at the papers and widens his eyes. “An application to the twins’ school?”

“I came off too harsh last time, so why not make it so the both of us don’t lose anything? I will still get to know my son and you don’t lose him”

Sihan bites his lips, “what are you up to? Nathaniel I know you…”

“You have no choice in the matter, you and both know the truth, Sihan. It’s not me you should truly fear or you want me to remind you of that night?”

Sihan clenched his fist, how could he forget? The night he almost died when Nathaniel’s parents forced him to take abortion pills. Sihan’s stomach hurts; he holds it as chills run down his spine.

“You really would use your parents as leverage to threaten me?” Sihan bites his lips.

“At least I can use them in some ways, we both have something to lose. If you’re gonna do everything to bring me down you must be willing to lose everything, your bakery, your parents and I wonder how your doctor boyfriend’s career will flow knowing he lied to investigators and took bribes…” Nathaniel said coldly.

Sihan is shocked again. “Bribe?”

“Oh you didn’t know? During my investigation he took a heavy sum, only to lie straight to my face. Shameless, heh you didn’t realise you were being used? I even gave him shut-up money. But I guess it didn’t matter.” He said.

Sihan feels betrayed, why?

Please tell him it’s a lie, Nathaniel smiles as he closes the suitcase. “Enrol him before the month ends, I’ll pay for all the expenses. Then we will discuss meetings. Hehe”

Nathaniel walks out of the room leaving Sihan feeling devastated.

Sihan couldn’t stop the tears from falling. Why would…

He picks up the phone to call Amani, the dialling went on for long until cut.

“Amani here, if you can’t get me now don’t think you’re gonna get me later… beep”

Sihan puts down the phone, please tell him he is overthinking or did Amani…

Sihan looks at the application and reads the paper and requirements. At least it’s an excellent school, he is tired, he can’t take it anymore.
