Vincent grabbed Shirone by the shoulders and shouted.
“Shirone! Why did you— That was a very dangerous thing to do! No, it's all my fault! It's because this father of yours is ignorant! Let's just turn it down!”
“It's all right, dad. The only thing we have to do is to keep our mouths shut.”
“It's not that simple! How can you keep your job a secret? It's crazy no matter how much I think about it! I will take responsibility for the refusal!”
Shirone shook his head side to side.
He was fortunate that he had good parents.
“Father.”
Vincent abruptly stopped, looking dazed at the sudden way Shirone addressed him for the first time.
What was more shocking, however, were the tears falling from Shirone's eyes.
“Sh-Shirone.”
“Thank you.”
Said Shirone, who opened his arms while having a big smile on his face.
“You gave me the biggest gift in the whole world.”
“Heuk!”
Vincent cried, not caring whether he'd lose face or not.
In his entire life, had he ever seen his son's face filled with that much joy?
“Don't worry, Shirone! No matter what happens, I will protect you! Don't worry about anything and work hard! I will protect you for sure!”
“Dad, I'll do my best.”
“Yes, my son! My precious son!”
