My Son is a Reborn Villain

Chapter 112

Wenwen stood by the bed, tilting his little head as he looked at Si Yue, and asked in confusion, “Where’s Mom?” He hadn’t seen his mom since he woke up. Where did she go?

Si Yue replied, “She went to get breakfast.”

Wenwen nodded, indicating that he understood.

Si Yue softly asked, “Would you like to come here?”

Wenwen considered for a moment, then pushed a stool over to the side of the bed, climbed up, and sat down. He had initially wanted to cross his legs, but his short and chubby little legs didn’t allow him to do so, so he settled for sitting normally.

Wenwen looked at Si Yue’s plastered limbs with a worried and guilty expression. Finally, he lowered his head and apologized, “I’m sorry.” He shouldn’t have been so stubborn, he was just a child, and he shouldn’t have done something dangerous that ended up involving others.

“And… thank you.” If it weren’t for Si Yue, he would have suffered more than just minor internal injuries. Si Yue had borne the brunt of the pain on his behalf.

Si Yue instinctively wanted to pat Wenwen’s head, but as soon as he moved his hand, it caused a sharp pain, so he had to give up. Still, he smiled gently and said, “Protecting the child is a father’s responsibility.”

Wenwen looked up. His lips quivered for a moment, but in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to say the words.

Si Yue wasn’t disappointed. Instead, he seized this chance to have a heart-to-heart conversation with his son. “I also need to apologize to you. When I found out you were my son, I didn’t immediately confess to you. Instead, I hid my intentions and approached you and your mother with ulterior motives. It’s understandable that you’re angry with me. I know I was wrong. Can Wenwen forgive Dad?”

“I will never take your mother away from you. We can protect Mom together, okay?”

Si Yue had always thought that Wenwen’s awkward rejection stemmed from his former deception and concealment. Furthermore, having grown up with only a mother over the years, Wenwen might be afraid that he would separate them from each other. From a child’s point of view, Wenwen might see the sudden arrival of a father as a threat.

“It’s not… just that…” Wenwen averted his gaze, feeling conflicted. The biggest hurdle in his heart was actually Si Yue’s absence from his and his mother’s lives in his previous life…

But all of that was in the past, and their paths had diverged from the moment he was reborn in this life. Now that all those misfortunes had never happened, he knew he couldn’t hold Si Yue accountable for what happened in his previous life. He needed to separate the two different lifetimes.

But old habits die hard. He had been so used to being awkward in front of Si Yue that he didn’t know how to reconcile. He nervously twisted his fingers, struggling to say the word Si Yue wanted to hear from him.

Seeing this, Si Yue comforted, “Okay, Wenwen isn’t angry with Dad; it’s just that you’ve never called me ‘Dad’ before. That’s why it’s hard to say now. That’s okay; whenever you’re ready to accept it and call me, it’s fine.”

Si Yue didn’t insist because he understood that as long as Wenwen regarded him as his father, that was enough. Although he felt a bit regretful, he didn’t want to force the child.
