I Became The Protagonist’s Child Chapter 61

Later that night all return home, Noah sleeping peacefully on the shoulder of Amani. It’s been a long day for them, placing his son in bed. Sihan kisses his forehead smiling as he looks at Amani who is at the door waiting for him.

Closing the door behind Sihan holds. Sihan looked at him, “are you still going to avoid me?”

Sihan wants to look away but breathes, “no, it’s just awkward.”

“Awkward? So you decide to avoid me.” Amani smiles.

“I’m sorry,” Sihan apologises.

“Don’t fist let’s talk before you apologise so we both know what you are apologising for.” Amani said.

Sihan smiles nodding, both walks into Amani’s room, Sihan feels his heart rush. His mind shifts a bit, now that he thinks about it… he only ever was with one man in bed and eventually he and Amani will. His face flushes, maybe it’s because Amani’s scent was everywhere!

“Bambi, about back then let me explain… yes, I took money from him and not only him but also his parents.”

Sihan’s blood ran cold, “his parents? They know?”

“They knew a lot of things, but it worked in their favour to have me shut up. They paid me to lie to him so I did.”

Sihan’s blood went cold, they could have hurt Amani. Sihan’s heart was trembling, “are you crazy? They could have hurt you!”

“They could but they didn’t, after all I could be easily swayed by money. No one really cares about people who are superficial unless in a dire situation.”

“Even so, you could have been hurt because of us.” Sihan said feeling remorseful.

“No, as I’ve told you before, I’ve decided to help so it’s my fault for not minding my own business.” He answers.

“But still–”

“How about we focus on us now, hm? Besides, we still haven’t told Noah.” Amani said.

“I know, I’m still thinking. I want to tell him but I want him to understand that nothing changes if I’m with someone, that I love him regardless.” Sihan said.

Amani smiles, “Sihan, I promise Noah will always be my first priority no matter what happens to us.”

Sihan smiles, “you’re always so sincere with us especially to Noah.”

Amani gives a chill smile as he remembers something from his past, “because, sometimes I wish my step mother had loved me in a motherly way, maybe then I wouldn’t have come to resent my dad.”

Sihan feels a chill down his spine looking into the eyes of his beloved, he feels guilt travels down his throat as he swallows. Remembering the night that man kisses the unconscious, unguarded and unaware Amani in his drunken stupor.

“I’m sorry,”

Amani blinks then laughs, “it’s nothing to apologise for, it’s not your fault. I’ve made my peace in the end, I’m a doctor with a few degrees and I have a big family. Nothing to be sorry about.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, really I’m sorry haaa…”

Because of the endless crying, Sihan wasn’t able to tell what he was apologising for and collapsed into a slumber after being calmed by Amani.

Amani sits on the roof looking in the night sky remembering, the eyes that look at him with longing, that touch that lingers and traces him, he remembers. He looks at the box of cigarettes he wants to but he will not, he looks at the box every time he feels the urge but he always remembers why he started in the first place. He is not there anymore but it doesn’t stop from crying, he covers his face between the folds of his arms looking down.

(A/n: bad liar by Imagine Dragons is playing lol)

It was the next day, Sihan and Noah already opened the bakery for the day Noah is already studying for school. Seeing his son riled up makes him happy knowing Noah is excited for school, soon the doorbell rings and soon a male with tall curly blonde hair that’s up in a pony with a slightly enlarged stomach walks in a guard behind him.

The male is wearing shades, it is sunny outside.

“Can I get 3 Brioche?” He asks.

“Of course a moment, please, ” Sihan said, going into the kitchen.

Noah looks at the person as he removes his shades putting on his forehead, there is a big black and purple swollen bruise over his eyes.

Returning Sihan is almost surprised to see the beautiful man with such an ugly bruise but says nothing as he charges him and serves him.

The man leaves after paying, Sihan wonders what could have caused that but can’t snoop could he? He then looks at the name tag of his receipt Leonard Kendrick.

A while later Alexandre burst through the door happily cheering, “Sihan you actually did it! Noah is going to wits! Hehehe!” Alexander cheers.

Sihan is a bit startled but tries to calm down the excited male, “nothing is official yet,”

“With little genius Noah! You are too modest! Ah where is the special boy anyway?”

Alexandre looks towards Noah who is studying, Alexandre smiles. “You’re already studying, such an hard worker!.”

Alexandre takes a moment slowly looking at Noah, “you know, you have similar features Noel. He takes after his father mostly.” Alexandre jokes, “so sometimes it makes me want to dote on you, hehe”.

Noah looks at Alexandre he feels bad for this person he looks away not feeling okay with looking him into his eyes, the eyes that is ignorant to everything.

“Oh! Almost forgot! Congratulatory gift, yeppie”.

Noah see Alexandre handing him a journal that looks beautiful and expensive. “I know it’s a stupid thing to buy you, but your mother said you don’t fancy toys and it’s for school congratulations… can’t give you video games. Textbook aren’t best gifts for children so this is what I can come up with.”

Noah looks at it it’s actually nice sturdy cover, nice design customary pen, it locks?

“There is also a lock box too, you can put other things in there too… like money”.

Noah smiles, “thank you uncle Alex”

Noah hugs him, Alex feels his heart warms he smiles returning the happy that his present works out.
