The Secret of My Life
Chapter 24's

Itachi was evicted and banned from parking in front of the gate by the Namikaze residence security officer after the gatekeeper got a report from Naruto.

He had to park his car further. He still hoped the blonde would see him if he waited any longer. Itachi just wanted to tell Naruto what was going on in his heart after they split up to this point.

Itachi kept silent in the car, still watching like a stalker. He promised himself that only today would he stay here long to wait. His special working phone kept ringing even though he ignored it. When the new vibrating personal phone he looked at the screen showing the video call of the wife.

Sometimes he feels bad as a husband. Naruto still made an impact on him. His emotions were unstable after returning to know the young Namikaze would still be around him. Feelings of sadness, joy and fear mixed into one.

In Itachi he still blames his parents for making the blonde so hateful and evading him, but considering what he did with Hinata was real and could not be avoided, he can't say anything.

The events of Christmas Eve that finally made him want to eliminate the burden with alcohol and Hinata still did not get an explanation why he was drunk even though the woman had asked. He could only give a lot of gifts in the form of materials so that his wife forgot the incident.

Recalling that Itachi sighed before focusing on receiving the video call.

Ryuuto's face filled the screen.

The baby stared in silence.

"Ryuu-chan look at that Papa of yours!" Hinata's voice sounded.

Itachi smiled at the nearly seven-month-old baby staring with his mother's eyes.

Although the baby boy but Ryuuto has the face of the mother almost 85%. Itachi's legacy is that Uchiha's blood flowing through his body is also black mane but not as dark as Uchiha in general due to the Hinata gene mix.

"He's waiting for you to come home Itachi-kun." Hinata answered while moving her little hand. This time the camera highlighted Hinata as well who was holding Ryuu. "In the car? Are you going home yet?" Ask.

Itachi stared out of the car for a while before returning to the phone screen and replied, "a little while longer. I still have to go check something."

"Hm."

Itachi did not know how his wife's expression was when he replied with just that mutter because Hinata deliberately pointed the camera downwards towards Ryuuto alone.

"I'll try not to come home late."

"Then we will wait while preparing dinner for you. Ryuu-chan waved her hand at your Papa." The woman moved the hand of the little one who had been cool to stump the thumb.

"See you at Ryuu's house." Itachi waved at the two people on his phone screen before ending the video call.

The eldest Uchiha held the temple, his head throbbing pain. Maybe he shouldn't bother Naruto for now. Apologizing should be pushed back again.

Itachi stared at the photo of Ryuuto that he had made wallpaper. He loved this one child. The boy he never expected before because he knew Naruto. He doesn't know whether to be grateful or angry. Grateful because with Ryuuto he can feel the taste of being a father or angry because Ryuuto makes him unable to choose with the one he loves.

Now all Itachi can do is live what he has chosen. The child needs himself as a father. So, Itachi decided to meet Naruto and apologize in person so that he could let go of the past.

But, is it true that after meeting and straightening all he can release the memories and that person willingly?
