บททั้งหมดของ My Son Calls His Father Lord: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

When I realized my soulmate Darius was still hung up on his former lover and her son, I started teaching our son to call him "Lord."Even if our son's magic spiraled out of control or he was celebrating his birthday, Darius always left the moment that woman called.At first, every time my boy forced out the word "Lord," he would struggle painfully for a long time. That was until the day Darius finally wanted to make amends and suggested painting an enchanted family portrait. Right inside the Portrait Pavilion, his ex sent another message, begging him to go to the Divine Academy and pretend to be her son's father.Darius looked full of guilt and was about to explain. This time, little Theo did not need my prompting. He just calmly waved his hand."It is okay, Lord Darius. Hurry up and go be with your other child. Just having me and Mom in the portrait is enough."Both Darius and I froze the moment Theo said those words.Ever since I realized Darius's heart was no longer with us, I tau

But before I could finish, Darius suddenly leaned in and wrapped his arm around my waist."By the way, where did you put that protective amulet you acquired for Theo? Is it in the study? Milo has weaker magic, so he needs it more. I am going to let him wear it for a few days."Without giving me any chance to refuse, Darius barged straight into the study, grabbed the amulet, and rushed out without looking back.The heavy bronze doors slammed shut.Darius was gone.I stared at the doors for a long time.Then I softly finished the sentence that had been interrupted earlier. "Actually... Theo and I haven't needed you in our lives for a long time."There were less than two days left until the bond completely shattered.By midnight, after sealing all the enchanted bags, I collapsed onto the bed in exhaustion.The messaging crystal lit up. It was a message from Darius.Milo absolutely loves the amulet. Cassia asked me to express her gratitude on her behalf.It was the dead of night, and my pa

[Darius's POV]One hour earlier.Cassia was weeping pitifully, her fingers gripping the sleeves of Darius's robe."Darius, how am I supposed to live? Milo fell off the temple steps! He is bleeding so much, and I am terrified."Milo was crying his lungs out.Without a second thought, Darius scooped him up and ran toward the Temple of Healing, using his mind link to contact Cora as he ran."Cora, please apologize to Theo for me.""Milo accidentally fell and got hurt. I must take him to the Temple of Healing.""I cannot promise I will make it to the festival by three. If you get tired of waiting, head back to the estate first.""Make sure you say sorry to Theo for me!"Just like every time before, he didn't need to explain much. He believed Cora would understand.He took it for granted that his docile partner and son would wait for him right where they were forever.He thought a simple "sorry" would smooth over everything.The healing priest quickly examined Milo. The child had merely scr

Darius returned to the estate.The moment he pushed open the front doors, he still harbored a last sliver of hope in his heart.Maybe Cora just took Theo to a priest friend's house.Maybe she was just furious, so she unilaterally blocked his mind link.Maybe...But the moment the doors swung wide, all his self-deception was shattered.The front hall was completely empty. On the rack that used to hold Cora and Theo's footwear, only his own battle boots remained.The main hall was empty too.The massive marriage scroll on the wall was gone. The silver cups engraved with their names were gone from the table.The memory crystal showing their family of three by the Aegean Sea was also gone.In the corner, Theo's most prized wooden unicorn carving, his marble building blocks, and his magic picture books had all been cleared out.Darius stood in the doorway, looking as if his soul had been sucked dry.He slowly walked into the inner chambers.The massive wardrobe was wide open.Not a single p

Those words pierced straight through Darius's chest like a divine sword.He stared fixedly at the scrying mirror, absolutely motionless.Cassia was still laughing."Oh, so you didn't know at all? Darius, you are truly pathetic. Your own Lady and your own heir have cast you aside completely, and yet you are still stupidly standing here playing the protector to someone else's son."Darius suddenly turned around and walked out."Where are you going?" Cassia yelled from behind him.He didn't look back.Her voice turned shrill. "Do you think chasing her now will make her forgive you? She has been sick of you for a long time!"Darius stumbled slightly, but his pace only grew faster.Cassia flew into a rage, grabbing a crystal bowl and hurling it at him.The crystal bowl shattered into pieces at the doorway.At the same time, Milo began to convulse violently. His face turned blue, and terrifying gasps escaped his throat."The child's magic is blocked. He cannot breathe!" a temple healer shout
