Chapter 281 - I Love You, Mommy

Series of performances pa.s.sed and the time for Little s.h.i.+n to s.h.i.+ne finally arrived. The gorgeous masked young man went to the stage to play a piano piece and Sei heaved a sigh of relief. Well, it was because his son had monopolized his wife the entire time and he was treated like some bodyguard on the sideline.

At last, he could finally be with her alone. Sei was very careful because he didn't want to do anything that could disrupt her current pleasant mood. She was seated just beside him but the girl's attention was completely focused on the young man up on stage. Her eyes were locked on him that she almost didn't blink at all. She was practically afraid to blink for fear that the little boy might vanish in that split second her eyes were closed.

In that instant, Sei was trying to grab her attention. He called out her name but the girl seemed to have placed an invisible barrier around her as if telling him the words, 'Please don't disturb me. My dear son is about to start playing the piano. I want to give him 100% of my attention,' making Sei feel a bit dejected once again.

The moment Little s.h.i.+n started playing, Davi became immersed in her own world as if she and her son were the only ones there, obliterating everyone else from her mind. As the melody drifted into the room, her eyes started br.i.m.m.i.n.g with happiness and at the same time, throwing him loving gazes as she cheered him on inwardly. She had not felt happiness like this since five years ago that a little bit of anxiety was also visible in her eyes.

Sei rested his face onto his knuckles, his gaze completely glued on her. The longer he watched her, the more he desired to hold her in his arms. He badly wanted to be intimate with her again, kiss those lips, hold her hands and embrace her just like how it was five years ago.

The song little s.h.i.+n was playing was Liebesleid's Love Sorrow and it made everyone in the hall feel emotional and at the same time bewildered with this genius talent in a boy only five years of age.

Davi, in her heart, began to feel the emotion of the song. She knew it was exactly the feeling she was experiencing right now, the so called Love's sorrow. Her heart was bouncing with happiness but at the same time, sorrow seemed to be stuck in her heart.

However, as she continued listening to the song her son was playing, the pain and sorrow in her heart felt like it was being mended slowly by the warmth and love he was trying to convey. It was as if he was playing that particular song to free them from the anguish and emptiness they all felt because of their separation, and she couldn't help but hold her breath.

In a flash, Sei noticed the blazing emotion coming from her. He could see her holding her breath, causing Sei to instinctively move and hold her hand. Sei hesitated a bit, checking Davi's reaction but he didn't withdraw his hand. Instead, he squeezed her hand, trying to convey that everything was going to be alright and to his delight, he felt his wife squeeze his hand in return.

Even though Davi was still engrossed with her son's performance and might have been unaware that she was actually holding Sei's hand, Sei's heart just couldn't help but do a somersault. He could finally hold her hand again. His love was within his grasp after all these agonizing years and what surprised him was that, he still actually felt the same way as he did five years ago, where a very simple touch from her would place his heart into chaos.

With their palms embracing each other, Sei's heart was jumping with happiness and his world seemed to finally brighten up again. His eyes were glimmering with intense emotion as if saying the words, 'Ahh… It's been five years when I last felt like this.'

In Sei's world, the only woman in his eyes was her.

However, this blissful moment ended when Davi pulled her hand from his as she began to clap. Pride and happiness flooded her eyes. He could tell she was really happy even though she wasn't smiling.

Just then, Sei immediately recovered. However, the next thing that happened made his cool demeanor scatter in disarray. It was because as soon as Little s.h.i.+n approached them, and while the crowd was still clapping incessantly, full of admiration, the little man reached out to give his mother a single red rose.

Sei's eyes bulged. But the show didn't end there. As soon as Davi took the rose from his hand, the little man stepped closer to her, uttered the words "I love you, mommy" before he gave her a peck on the cheek.

Like being hit by lightning, Sei's world seemed to have suddenly crashed and burned. He couldn't believe what was happening.

W-when did Little s.h.i.+n plan all this? Is he purposely doing this to compete with me or something?
