quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are things going in school, Inder?\" the man sitting opposite the black-haired boy asked, glancing at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Normal,\" Inder replied, shrugging, \"well, except Senara breaking someone's nose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl sitting beside him coughed, glaring at him, \"That 'someone' was bullying you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inder glanced at her, letting out a tired sigh, \"...She was just asking for my number.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that's bullying.\" Senara scoffed, \"How could she ask that when I was standing right beside you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come o—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both of you, quiet down,\" Inder's mother said, glancing at them with her beautiful blue eyes, \"there is no need to bicker over everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say that to him,\" Senara grumbled, pointing at Inder, \"...Just because he grew a little taller, he stopped acting like a good boy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're upset because you can't tease him anymore,\" Senara's mother chimed in, glancing at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That too,\" she accepted, nodding her head, \"...He doesn't even let me hug him now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inder gave her a skeptical look, which she replied to with a bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't try to avoid her,\" Inder's mother advised while making eye contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze moved toward Senara, and she grinned, \"and you, don't be like those childhood friends from dramas, losing in the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll smash their heads open before anyone can try to get close to him,\" Senara replied, raising her hand for a high-five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I'm at a loss here,\" Inder's father grumbled, rubbing his temples, \"...When did they grow up so much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are getting older,\" Inder commented, looking at him, \"Old man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah,\" his father replied dismissively before he let out a tired sigh, \"...I would've tried to spend more time with you guys, but well, too much stress from work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did something happen?\" Inder asked, concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, a new and big company appeared in the market,\" he replied, gazing down, \"...They're taking over every sector they can, and it's getting hard for many other companies to survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Isn't that concerning?\" Senara's mother asked, \"How can they take over everything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like I said, big company,\" he replied, shrugging, \"They also offered me a job, and I might join them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which company?\" Senara asked, feeling left out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's called Pleroma ,\" he replied with a light smile, \"...They mainly make games and stuff.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I see,\" Inder whispered softly, feeling a sense of déjà vu from the name but unable to remember.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who wants ice cream?\" Senara asked, standing up after finishing her food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of us,\" Inder's mother replied, smiling at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\" Senara nodded before messing with Inder's hair, \"Let's go, get some ice cream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Yeah, give me five minutes,\" Inder replied, finishing the last of his dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding, Senara moved out of the house while Inder stood up after finishing his meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wearing a jacket over his shirt, he walked toward the main door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inder.\" But before he could open it, a voice called him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, aunty?\" Turning around, he asked, looking at Senara's mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Um, how should I say this?\" She fumbled, placing her hand in her pocket, \"...How is your relationship with Senara going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're on good terms?\" he replied, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I mean 'that' kind of relationship,\" shaking her head, she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kin—Ohh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing her words, Inder's face turned awkward, \"It's going...good,\" he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, they do teach you about that stuff in school, right?\" she asked, making him even more awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fourteen, aunt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, I'm not saying anything, I'm just concerned.\" She shook her head vigorously, trying not to make eye contact, \"You know, young people do make mistakes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I will not do anything like that,\" Inder replied reassuringly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not you.\" She replied, rubbing her eyes, \"It's Senara... She's just obsessed with you, and I don't know what that stupid girl will do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I will try to make sure she doesn't go overboard,\" Inder replied awkwardly, nodding his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not against your relationship.\" She tried to clarify, \"I just think everything has its right time, and—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine,\" Inder replied, smiling lightly, \"Don't worry, I won't do anything that will hurt you or Senara.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her awkwardness melted as she reached out, patting his head, \"...Thank you for being there for her, and please look after my little girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inder smiled, nodding gently before turning around and opening the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What took you so long?\" Senara asked, extending her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inder looked at her, asking, \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold it.\" Leaning forward, she grabbed his hand with hers, \"I don't want you to get lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inder sighed as she intertwined her fingers with his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun was slowly retreating across the buildings, but it wasn't dark yet. It would be soon, but even so, they moved slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much time until your birthday?\" Senara asked as they walked on the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Six months,\" Inder replied, \"Why do you ask?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing. Anything your family planned?\" she asked, glancing at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe Disneland.\" He replied, shrugging, \"Ask your mother, she'll be the one to arrange it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about going to pray for once?\" she asked, sticking close while placing her head comfortably on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You believe in God?\" Inder asked, curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One guy? In the sky? With superpowers?\" Inder asked, feigning disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senara chuckled, \"Not exactly like that, idiot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, it's hard to explain, but oh well, think of Him as someone who's helping us all.\" She replied, looking at him, \"You know, 'Helped by God.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever,\" he replied, shrugging, \"I don't believe in it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a quiet laugh. \"You're always so—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Handsome?\" he asked, interrupting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She laughed louder now. \"I was gonna say cheesy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, whatever.\" He grumbled, shrugging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm kidding,\" she replied, bumping her shoulder into his. \"You are handsome as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inder didn't reply but quietly looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her head still lay comfortably on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Question!\" Senara yelled abruptly, making him flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" he asked, irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you like the most?\" She asked, raising her head to look at him, waiting expectantly for his answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Urgh, it's hard to say, you go first.\" Inder replied, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You,\" she said, smiling, a dimple forming on her left cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inder blankly looked at her, his mother's words flashing in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned serious, staring at her with his beautiful blue eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" she asked, tilting her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My turn to ask a question,\" he replied, \"Complete this: We're both in this room alone. What will your feeling be...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like I have to pee,\" she interrupted, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really hate talking about serious things, don't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you ever had to pee really bad?\" she asked, \"It's a serious thing. You could cause serious damage to your bladder by—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really have to pee?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Answer the question,\" he grumbled, glaring at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, hmm.\" She looked down at the street as she replied, \"I would feel scared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his head, asking, \"Why scared?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you would do something bad—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, be serious,\" he replied firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...I would be happy,\" she replied, nodding slowly, \"and maybe a little out of control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why out of control?\" he asked, tilting his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about it we're alone in one room,\" she replied, gazing at him, \"and you know, I like to see things coming. I like to plan ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Yeah,\" he replied, giving her a skeptical look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, don't look at me like that, I am smart as well,\" she replied, glaring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. What flavor do you want?\" he asked as they reached the ice cream shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Choco chips,\" she replied instantly, losing her grip on his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" he replied, walking toward the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senara looked around the place until her gaze stopped at the park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared there for a while before she said, \"Qais.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inder turned around to look at her, \"Yeah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go without me,\" she replied, walking toward the park, \"I'll be back in five minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be home before sunset,\" Inder said, and she nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the park, she looked around the place until her gaze landed on the swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...And there she sat alone on the swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senara walked closer, \"I thought I'd find you here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her crimson eyes glanced up at Senara.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you sitting here, Delilah?\" Senara asked, sitting on the swing beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's no one at home,\" she replied softly, \"I'm always alone most of the time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do your parents even do?\" Senara asked, swinging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father owns a company, and mother...\" her words trailed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senara didn't ask further, silently looking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had known Delilah for a few years, meeting with her occasionally, but she never understood her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never told Inder about her, nor did she let them meet, in fear that Inder would have another panic attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you look like a doll?\" Senara curiously asked, glancing at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...That boy,\" Delilah whispered softly, \"...Do you like him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senara eyed her seriously before she replied, \"...I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You'll break his heart,\" Delilah whispered cryptically, staring at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senara stared back, not saying anything for a while before she stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn't matter,\" she replied, smiling, \"Even if it's broken, his heart will still be mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1545,"2026-06-05T21:29:08.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","4a071ba39c1cc9b3ff8a4df928765c0981936a5d32b617b9d8e2e48ebb16c891","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-360","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-181",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
