Chapter 33: THAT ACTING WAS PATHETIC
"Well, the days that have come now. It is better to trust more than adults." Simon said.
"What? Are you saying that we are not his parents?" The man’s face darkened as he looked at Simon. Simon kept that same face with a slight smile on his face, and he shook his head. "I am not saying that. All I am saying is, the boy is very heavily injured that doesn’t look to happen by just a naughty boy throwing tantrums. We should go to the authorities first. Investigate the matter properly before letting the kid go with you."
The couple’s face turned black and he said while gritting his teeth, "So you are not letting the child go with us?" To which, Simon still did not flinch and said, "I never said that. What I said was that lets go to the authorities, and confirm it once. You are the kid’s really parents aren’t you? And you did nothing wrong. So what are you scared of?"
"You!" The woman couldn’t help but hiss. Before she looked at Dante and said in her firm tone, "Dante! Come here!" Gone was her gentle façade.
"U- Uncle! T- they have kidnapped me!" The young Dante said in a shaking voice. And hearing him, Simon’s eyebrows raised and he said, "Honestly, I had an idea." And then he smirked and said, "You both must not be parents in real lives too. Because that acting that you were doing of being his parents just a while ago, was pathetic. No parents act in that way after seeing their child in this condition."
And when they both heard him say that, those traces of acting wiped off their faces and they scrolled. "You old son of a bitch!" the man spat, and then said, "Fine! If you are smart enough of to get fooled. They don’t blame us for breaking some of your bones!
And when heard that Dante’s eyes widened in horror and he whispered, "What?!" And he trembled.
But all he heard was the good uncle laugh and said, "Its good. It has been quite sometime since this old limbs of mine has done some kind of exercise like this. And he cracked his knuckles.
Then turning to the little boy, he smiled at him lovingly and he said, "My dear. Why don’t you turn around and not see whatever is happening here, okay? Only turn around when I tell you too. Is that okay?"
