Mark Of The Destiny - Chapter 286
“Using Honey. Aren’t you ashamed?”
What the hell was Wang Shi trying to do? Honey had become her weakness, it’s not a secret anymore. Suyin was beginning to think she would get difficult time if Wang Shi decide to use Honey to get back to her.
“You understand Honey as much as I do. Do you really think I even had to play such tricks?” His mischievous smile gave her goosebumps, “My son– oops– OUR SON– understands the complexity of the situation and can take necessary steps without any outside influence.”
Suyin’s jaw ticked, bubbling in anger. “You could have stopped him. You should.”
“Why should I?” Another mischievous smile, irking her. “I want you in my life as much he does. Did you forget already, with Honey comes a complimentary Wang Shi? No return. No exchange. Mandatory love required.”
“That will not be possible. It’s over between us. Forever and ever.”
“The hell,” he scoffed, “A relationship is built by two people. We started this relationship together. Who are you to end it alone? Who gave you the right to decide for both of us? Who are you to separate yourself from me? Is this all a game for you? Three lives are at stake, dammit. Who are you to sentence me punishment based on a single incident?”
“That was not just an incident, but a part of my soul.” her arms tightened around her waist.
“So as me.” his face was hard with frustration, “I had lost my daughter and my son was on the verge of death. Do you think I took the decision happily? No. It was my last resort to keep my dying child alive.”
She clapped, “So the Richie rich doctor Wang Shi is justifying his actions.”
There was a long pause as he started at her. His lips quivered, “Nothing can justify my actions. Nothing. I know you won’t believe me, I’m already a criminal in your eyes, but had I aware that you didn’t sign up for heart donation, I wouldn’t have taken the heart. Never.”
She stared at him, shocked by his fierceness of not giving up. “How does that matter now? It’s all over. Don’t you pretend as if this breakup is a big deal and a few months of relationship matters to you–”
“SUYIN,” His tone took the hard edge as he took a step closer. Suyin took a step back. “You might be angry, but don’t make fun of my love. Our feelings were genuine to each other. It still is. It’s just unfortunate that we have to face all this.”
“Love. Genuine feelings. How can you even use these heavy words without even stuttering in front of me? LOOK AT ME,” her face was hard with frustration, “Standing in front of you is a woman whose son’s heart you stole at the price of a hundred million. I’m the same woman whom you toyed with and hid this secret. Now tell me where is the love in all this? Where are the genuine feelings?”
“Stop saying I stole the heart and toyed with you. And I never intended to keep this as a secret,”
“But you did exactly that.”
“STOP IT. FOR GODS SAKE, STOP IT, AND JUST LET ME SPEAK ONCE–”
“I heard someone yelling. Are you two fighting?” Honey opened the door uninvited and poked his little head. His abrupt intervention stopped Wang Shi from yelling.
Suyin walked to him and caressed his head, “No. We were just talking.”
“Promise? I don’t want you two to fight.”
“No fighting,” Suyin said, “Can you please give us some more time?”
“Okay. But I’m still at the door.” Honey gently closed the door, “Can’t trust you two.” Suyin heard the little one mumble.
Suyin turned to face Wang Shi and saw him drinking water from her glass. She frowned. “Keep your voice low. I don’t want Honey to hear any of this.”
That made him laugh, “He already knows about the tension between us. That’s why he’s not willing to leave us alone.”
“And whose fault is that? You not only brought him here in this war zone country, but letting him know the tension between us.”
“Kids are sensitive to emotions of their parents and can sense the tension between them. Whose words were these? Besides, who asked Honey to stay under the protection of his father and never leave his side?”
Suyin didn’t have an answer to that. She averted her gaze and sat down on the only furniture in the room. Portable bed.
Just then Wang Shi crouched down in front of her and held her hand, startling her. She opened her mouth to say, but he placed his finger on her mouth, “Don’t say a word. Remember we promised to let each other speak if any problem comes between us? Remember we promised to hear each other out before taking any decision? Please, let’s honour those promises.”
Suyin’s silence was a positive sign, letting him start. He sucked in a deep, shaky breath.
“I admit I have messed up. I should have inquired more about the heart, and should have insisted on talking to you personally. But being a parent, no one in this world can understand my situation better than you.” Suyin looked into his eyes, understanding where this was going.
“You are again justifying your actions,” she said softly.
“I’m not. Trust me. I am in a weird position where one side I am thankful that my son is alive, the heart purchased from the black market saved him, but on the other I’m sorry that your son became victim of this black trade.” He squeezed her hands, “I know it was wrong of me to approach black market and put the price. I know it doesn’t matter to you if I was oblivious to everything or not. But I can’t change what happened.”
“Wish I can turn the clock and not take the heart from your son. You wouldn’t be this mad at me, don’t you?” It was a question that even Suyin questioned herself. Will she do the same if Wang Shi had taken the heart from some another child and not her son? “Tell me, will you do the same had it was not your son’s heart inside Honey?”
He placed her palm over his heart, letting her feeling the rhythm. He was anxious of loosing her, and passionately in love with her. “You wouldn’t. This much I know you. The woman whose crush didn’t change in ten years, who kept loving me in secret, and had never forgotten to sent me gifts on my birthdays, festivals and on my every achievement– she must have seen something special in me for loving me like this.”
He pinched her chin between his finger and thumb, “Am I right, my love? Isn’t this one of the reason that you said yes to my proposal and were willing to give this relationship a chance? Because you already knew what kind of human I am.”
Silent tears rolled down her eyes. “D-Don’t expect anything from me, Wang Shi. These emotional talks won’t work. Not now at least.”
“I know. I know. I know you need time.” He stood and sat down on the bed beside her, not leaving her hand even once. “Take as much time you want. I won’t complaint. But please don’t push me away from you. You can have Honey, Honey is all yours, I will never claim my right on him, but don’t make him choose between you and me. You know he won’t be able to take this blow.”
Wang Shi had seen the enthusiasm in Honey thinking about getting both mummy and daddy. He knew Honey had come prepared with plans to keep Suyin with him. But would it be fair to Suyin? Though Wang Shi indulge his son, and he knew that with Honey’s help Suyin wouldn’t be able to leave him, but he won’t get Suyin’s love by doing this.
Wang Shi had thought long and hard, and had decided to let Suyin have her own space, but simultaneously stay by her side. Maybe one day she’d have a change of heart, and accept him as well.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #’s-sake_52490577282916541 for visiting.
“I am getting bored now. Are you two done?” Once again Honey poked his head through the slightly opened door. Anxiousness visible on his face. He saw them sitting face to face, “Are you two fighting–”
“No, we are not.” Suyin interrupted and walked to pick him in arms. She kissed his cheek. “Stop thinking about fighting again and again. We are elders, not kids who will fight.”
Honey asked from Suyin’s arms, “Really dad? Then what were you doing?”
Wang Shi tapped Honey’s nose, “Elders talk. It’s boring, and serious.”
Honey, “Then I don’t want to know. I just want to be with my ducky, and daddy forever.” feeling excited, he kissed the side of Suyin’s bald head, feeling sad the very next moment.
Suyin, “It’s okay. They will grow back. Unless you don’t like bald ducky–” he slammed his little hand on her lips.
“My ducky is forever beautiful. But promise me this is the last time you got this haircut.” It made her laugh. She hooked her pinky finger to Honey’s, promising him. “I love you both,” Honey hugged the two.
Unknown to Honey, the two shared a secret glance as if communicating something.
Unknown to Suyin, Honey winked at his father as if saying, ‘I am here. She will be ours.’ Then he looked above the sky, ‘You better not have second thoughts about them. I want to see them together, don’t you meddle with my plans.’
God’s lips twitched, but he was still very happy. It’s been a while since these two have talked to him. Though the crazy woman was still not in a mood, at least the little one spoke one.
