Chapter 359 Sweet and cheesy
I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband
Hearing Zakiâs words, Seiâs brows knotted as he looked obviously displeased by the news while Davi suddenly felt somehow nervous as soon as she heard that her husbandâs parents were coming. Well, aside from Zaki, Davi believe that she still never met any of Seiâs relatives before, so this sudden news was a real surprise to her. She never had the chance to think about this either or prepare herself so she couldnât help but feel a little bit uneasy.
"Y-your parents are coming?" Davi uttered with unease flustered across her face and Sei creased his brows even harder.
"Why? You donât want them to come?" He asked curiously and Davi immediately shook her head.
"I-itâs not like that. Itâs just that... Iâm... Iâm kind of nervous." Davi answered and Sei tilted his head, looking as if he couldnât understand why sheâs nervous.
"... Nervous?" he could only utter as Davi awkwardly nodded.
"Except for your brother, I never met any of your other family members before so..." She said before she bit her lip and Sei who was suddenly being mused with her cute uneasy expression raised his hand and ruffled her hair gently. Well, how could Sei not felt amused when his dear wife was acting exactly like a young boyfriend who was fidgeting because he was about to meet his girlfriendâs parents?
"Itâs okay, donât be afraid... they are good people." Sei reassured as he continued patting Daviâs head when the girl held his wrist to stop him.
"Iâm not afraid, okay? And, Iâm not nervous because Iâm thinking theyâre bad. Itâs just that... Iâm nervous because they might dislike me."
"Why would you think they might dislike you?"
"Well, it happens in stories and in real life a lot so... Moreover, youâre too handsome and too adorable sometimes, youâre too rich, youâre too powerful, youâre too intelligent, you are too perfect in everything, so they will surely want someone as perfect as you."
"Arenât you that perfect someone they will surely want?"
"...?!"
Seiâs last line rendered Davi speechless. She gazed at him and upon seeing the serious and certain look in his eyes, she felt like her blood was about to gush out of her nose. Well, itâs not like Davi was degrading herself, itâs just that Sei was literally a king while she was just a soldier at the moment. As of now, her status was like the Earth while Seiâs was like the sun and she knew very well that to other peopleâs eyes, she wasnât worthy of him.
"You donât have to worry. You are the only one perfect for me. I wonât allow anyone to question that fact, no matter who they are." Seiâs tone suddenly turned into something extremely firm and indisputable. He just seemed like he was stating a sacred vow as he said those words, turning Daviâs heartbeats into an uncontrollable drum.
Her heart was covered with thick layers of sugars that she already forgot about her nervousness. His every word was like sweet desserts that kept being fed to her nonstop.
Sei was just so unbelievably sweet and cheesy today. Did his fever increase the level of his sweetness?
Davi was about to speak right after she recovered from Seiâs sugary attacks when the man turned towards Zaki.
"Zaki, take your fiancée with you and go and delay them." He ordered and Zaki creased his forehead.
"Huh? What do you even mean by that?!"
"Tour them around the city or anything. Just donât let them reach the mansion today."
"H-huh?!"
"As you can see, I am currently very sick. I donât want to be disturbed so I could rest well and recover."
"You..."
"Also, fetch little Shin after his class and take him with you."
"..."
"And remind the maids that today is their day off."
After those words left Seiâs mouth, everyone was speechless. Even Davi canât believe what Sei just said.
Meanwhile, Zaki could only curse within him.
This love-struck fool... âI am currently very sickâ my ass... just say you want to be alone with your Davi today damn it! And what? Remind the maids that today are their day off? When did you even learn speaking this way?!
Just as Zaki was complaining silently, Davi who was still surprised finally spoke.
"Uhm Sei... Are you sure? Wonât your parents be angry if you do this?" She said with a worried look and Sei once again patted her head.
"They wonât... they will enjoy since theyâve been drying to spend a day with Little Shin for a long while now. Moreover, Zaki and Hinari will be there to entertain them." He replied and Davi was about to speak again when Sei suddenly bent and laid his head on her shoulder.
That instant, Davi immediately felt his burning skin and she gasped.
"Y-youâre burning. You really need to go back to bed now." She said as she held him and Sei raised his hand into her waist as he finally uttered an "Mm."
Davi then supported Sei as they walked towards the stairs when Sei glanced at Zaki. With his gaze alone, Zaki felt like his head was about to explode. It was because the words âmove now and make sure to take all the other moving creatures inside this house with youâ were blatantly being flashed across Seiâs eyes.
Upon receiving the absolute order, puffs of air left Zakiâs nose as the veins on his forehead were popping. Well, this Sei really turned way too shameless thereâs no more cure for him.
While the couple was slowly climbing the stairs, Zaki and Hinari could still hear their conversation.
"But Sei, I think we need the butler to at least stay in the house with us just in case something will---"
"Thereâs no need. Youâre the only one I need to get better."
"... Are you okay? Do you want me to call Zaki to help you climb?"
"No need. Just call me âdarlingâ and I can climb fast."
"..."
"Did you know how many times you called me âdarlingâ last night?"
"Err... okay, okay. Iâll call you âdarlingâ again so forget about last night, okay?"
"Mm, okay."
"D-darling, move your feet now."
That moment, while Davi and Sei was climbing like turtles on the stair, and while Sei kept spouting cheesy lines like he was drunk, Zakiâs hand reached Hinari and he flicked her forehead softly.
"Stop looking and listening to them." He said and Hinari who was startled puffed her cheeks.
"Whatâs wrong about looking at them? Itâs like Iâm reading a heartwarming and cute romantic novel you know? And itâs a great experience, why canât you appreciate such a rare romantic occurrence?" Hinari immediately protested, annoying Zaki even more.
"Wait... donât tell me you hate eating dog foods? Dog foods are heart softener you know? Why donât you watch them too? Maybe your heart will also soften... Ouch! Will you stop flicking me?"
"Stop talking nonsense, letâs go." Zaki said as turned his back with a still annoyed expression when Hinari started murmuring behind him.
"Sigh... why is my fiancé so coldhearted? Is he really his brotherâs brother? Why canât he be sweet and cheesy like him?" Hinari murmured and upon hearing her, Zaki slowly turned towards her and Hinari gasped as she immediately covered her mouth with her hands.
"Iâm sorry... I forgot about my behavior again. Please donât take my words seriously, those words just slipped out. Hehe. Letâs go, letâs go." She reasoned out quickly before she ran away from Zaki as fast as she could.
