Chapter 147: Su Ran was just about to greet him when she heard Su Han's voice from behind her, "It's you?!" (1)
There is something that I want to talk to you about, said Su Ran very seriously.
Su Hans heart tightened when he heard that. He didnt like the sound of that much.
Su Han stiffened in his stance with his head lowered all the way. Right when Su Ran felt that her son was trying to refuse to talk to her with his action, she finally detected an almost unnoticeable nod.
Mmm, said Su Han very, very softly.
Seeing that, Su Ran sighed to herself: She didnt know where to start either but this was something that they needed to address, one way or another.
Em, Su Han, what I want to say is is there anything in our lives that you dislike or are unhappy about? After a little bit of hesitation, Su Ran decided to approach the subject in a more roundabout way.
Hearing Su Rans question, Su Han stopped his eating action.
What do you mean?
Like, you dont have a father and your mother, ugh, and I never cared about you all that much
Even though she had only brought the subject up to lead into what she wanted to talk about but this was definitely something that Su Ran had always worried about.
Su Han had always acted like nothing was wrong but this was Su Han, the future big villain, that they were talking about!
Being able to hold everything in was a prerequisite of becoming a big villain!
Su Ran was very worried that Su Han would hold everything back and that would eventually become the trigger of him becoming a villain.
Im used to it already, said Su Han dully after he thought about it long and hard.
A second later, as though something had just occurred to him, Su Han looked up abruptly. He instantly felt anxious when he spotted the thick sense of regret and pain on Su Ran.
I mean, I was used to it in the past.
Now, he paused for a little, then added, Things are good how it is right now.
Um, I dont mean you are awful in the past, Su Han went on to elaborate, his pace faster than before as he was eager to clarify himself. I mean, in the past, ugh, it wasnt all your fault. What I am trying to say is
Pffft Seeing how Su Han was grappling on how to explain himself, Su Ran finally couldn't help but busted out laughing.
You Su Han frowned and stared at Su Ran, his face burning a little.
Em, sorry. After she had apologized, Su Ran cleared her throat and went on, You dont need to explain yourself. I really havent been a good mother in the past.
Most importantly, itd seem that she hadnt change much.
Mainly because of her incapability. She couldnt help Su Han with his school work and she wasnt good at doing housework.
Luckily her son didnt care much about those!
I am only asking you this to make sure that you were bottling up everything inside and unwilling to share.
Theres no such thing. You are overthinking it. A 12~13-year-old boy cared a lot about his ego. Hed never admit to it even if that was true in the past.
But, he was very happy with their current situation.
This woman right now wasnt half bad.
Thought Su Han to himself.
Mmm, then have you ever consider about having a dad?
She had looked it up online, boys seemed to look up to a fatherly figure by nature and theyd doubtless follow and imitate their fathers. As far as this was concerned, that was for sure not a role that a mother could replace.
Su Ran seemed to have brought it up casually but, in reality, she was glancing over at Su Hans expression nervously.
Then, Su Ran saw it clearly. When Su Han heard the word dad, he frowned a little and a hint of resentment seemed to have flashed past his eyes?
You never thought about having a father? asked Su Ran.
No, replied Su Han very definitely. Somewhat resentful of it, even.
Letting a man join in their family legitimately? And as his father at that?
That wasnt something that he wanted at all!
The only man that they needed in this family was him. He could move things around, change light bulbs, pick up deliveries, throw out takeout boxes. When he was more capable in the future, he could even pick up the responsibility of supporting this family. He did not need anyone else.
