Chapter 97 - Give Me a Break
In the master"s bedroom.
Sei just entered the room when he noticed that his wife was already fast asleep. He walked slowly towards the bed and he just stood there watching her peaceful face. After a long while, he then quietly sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze never leaving her face.
At that moment, Sei lifted his hand but before he could touch her face, he stopped midway. He s.h.i.+fted his gaze away and he just sat there, staring at the lamp beside the bed.
After that, he finally lay beside her and stared at the ceiling for a while. He then sighed deeply and turned his body to switch off the lamp. However, just right after he reached out his hand, a warm arm suddenly imprisoned him. Davi wrapped him in her arms from behind, her face buried in his neck that he could feel her warm breath touching his skin. Sei immediately tensed up, lying on his side as still as a statue, not daring to move.
He remained motionless for a minute or two then he finally started to relax. Her warm, gentle arm was like an angel"s touch, soothing him and making him feel an unbelievable feeling of peacefulness and warmth.
However, the longer he stayed in her embrace, as he felt her warm breath on his neck, his body responded by becoming hotter and hotter.
…
The next morning, Davi was surprised when she woke up without Sei by her side. The first thing that appeared in her head was that he might be leaving again. Thus, thinking that she might still catch him before he left, she immediately rushed outside the room and ran down the stairs.
When she reached the last step of the stairs, she paused and felt relieved as her eyes caught sight of the masked man sitting on the couch, sipping his coffee.
"Oh, young miss. You"re already awake. Breakfast is ready," the butler, who just came from the dining room, spoke causing the masked man to turn his head in her direction.
"Good morning, Butler Gou," Davi immediately replied with a wide smile.
Without wasting another second, Sei walked towards her.
"Good morning, Sei," she greeted him with another bright smile. However, Sei didn"t reply. Instead, he put his hand on her head, and began to caress it as if he was trying to fix some unruly hair strands, causing Davi to realise what she must look like. She turned red when she realized she just ran downstairs without even combing her hair or looking at the mirror.
"I"m sorry… I won"t take long." She said and she ran back upstairs in a flash, leaving Sei speechless.
"She doesn"t really need to feel embarra.s.sed though. She looks adorable even when she has just woken up, right Sei?" Zaki"s voice suddenly popped out of nowhere, causing Sei to turn his head towards him.
"Mm. You"re right," he replied and Zaki immediately smiled widely.
"Well, Davi really is so cute. She"s a real beaut---" Zaki couldn"t continue his statement. It was because a certain deadly sharp glare was immediately pointed at him, as if giving him a warning.
Err… give me a break.
