Chapter 127 - The Only Thing You Can Do
Meanwhile at Gray mansion…
Sei was enveloped with solid darkness, as though he was a completely different person from the soft and fluffy him just after they left Blue city.
An hour ago, just after the doctor confirmed that Sei was fine, Zaki immediately told him about Davi. And as soon as Sei heard that his wife was upset and hurt, he suddenly walked out of the room, but the girl wasn"t there anymore. The young man Yijin who was waiting outside told Sei that she asked Kaide to bring her somewhere. The boy even told him how she looked and what she said before they left, causing the masked man to clench his fist even tighter.
In the middle of his increasing coldness, Kaide called him and told him that his wife was with her friend. Sei asked him if she"s fine, but when Kaide answered him honestly, saying that she looks like she was heartbroken, Sei just gripped the cellphone in his hand as though he wanted to crumple it.
Until the unbearably cold moments pa.s.sed and Sei finally received a message from his wife.
[Come fetch your wife, she"s drunk.]
Upon reading it, Sei immediately stood to go out when Zaki was already standing in the entrance, blocking his way, as though he antic.i.p.ated what he was about to do.
"You know I can"t let you go, Sei." Zaki said with burning intensity in his eyes. Looking as though he was a horrifying guardian from h.e.l.l ready to chain him if needed. That moment, with just a single glance, Sei knew it was impossible to get pa.s.sed him.
"Wait here, I already told Kaide to take her home." He continued, while Sei just stood there like a thousand-year-old frozen statue in front of him.
No words came out of Sei"s mouth for a long while. He stood there unmoving, not just because of Zaki, he stopped because he knew that if he insisted, something worse might happen while he was with her. And that"s the one thing he would never allow to happen. He would never let his wife to get caught in the trouble that was chasing him.
Thus, that moment, Sei could only harden himself to wait for her. After another long moments of silence, Sei finally opened his mouth.
"Zaki… explain why... wasn"t she fine with the fact that she"s not allowed to see my face before?"
Upon hearing Sei"s words, the fierce intensity in Zaki"s eyes were extinguished in an instant. And even though Zaki understood why Sei is the way he is now, he still couldn"t help but feel quite speechless every time. Ugh! Your unbelievably low EQ is really p.i.s.sing me off Sei…
"Well, you really can"t blame her if she acts and feels like that Sei, the fact that you won"t allow her to see your face when you let others will really hurt her emotionally. This will make her think that she"s not important to you or because you didn"t trust her… Something like that…" After Zaki said those words, his gaze fell on Sei. Zaki could tell at that moment, what he said troubled him extremely. Causing Zaki to release a deep sigh.
"This is not supposed to be a major problem Sei, however, because both of you developed feelings towards each other to this extent… I"m afraid this will only get worse. I wonder how long you will last…"
After a long while of silence, Sei opened his mouth again.
"Then… what am I supposed to do…" he asked and Zaki looked at him with a serious gaze as he replied.
"You can"t do anything about it Sei, I"m afraid the only thing you can do is reveal yourself to her."
