Chapter 1754 You Are Worth It
Sheila was feeling insecure as if something unexpected was going to happen.
Shortly after, Zayden felt sleepy. Davin bathed him and personally put him to bed.
Seeing how gentle he was toward his son, one would think that Davin had turned over a new leaf. He was exceptionally fantastic in handling the child. When Zayden dozed off, his fingers were still clutching the hem of Davinâs shirt.
As Davin gazed at the sweet boy in his sleep, it suddenly dawned on him that he seldom spent time with Zayden.
If I could make it back, I promise to accompany Zayden more.
Then, Davin planted a kiss on Zaydenâs forehead, tucked the latter in nicely, and left the room.
When he got back into his bedroom, Sheila was sitting in front of the dressing table, performing her skincare routine. His gaze fell on her from afar, and he had a flashback of the good old days when they were sitting next to each other at kindergarten.
Back then, Sheila would always stare straight at him with a pair of twinkling eyes.
One time, he caught Sheilaâs gaze affixed to him when he was reprimanded by the teacher. Annoyed, he lashed out at her, âWhat are you looking at? What do you want? Party favors?â
Sheila shook her head and chuckled. âWell, weâll have our very own wedding favors when we get married.â
He glared at her and refuted, âStop spouting nonsense! You and I will never ever be an item.â
âWhy not?â Sheila was stunned.
âBecause youâre ugly and stupidâ¦â
His words hurt Sheila to the core, and she cried like a baby.
Time flies. In a flash, the little girl from kindergarten has become my wife, who gave birth to my son. The old me back in kindy would never believe that we would end up being together. Yet, now I think that sheâs Godâs greatest gift for me.
Whatever she does, she does it in the name of love, for me and my sake. Whether itâs stopping me from partying, being worried that I flirt with others, or even sneakily checking my stash of cash⦠Sheila loves me wholeheartedly.
âWhat are you doing over there?â she asked when she found Davin stood rooted to the spot upon finishing her skincare routine.
âMe? Oh, nothing. Sheila, is that skincare product good?â
âQuite good. Why? You want to try some?â
âUh, no. I was only wondering if I should ask Nina to research further and create a special set that suits you.â
Sheila was flabbergasted. Since when did he care so much for me?
âThereâs no need for that. This is gifted by Nina, and itâs really good. Iâve been using this line for quite some time. Whatâs up with you, Davin?â
He said nothing but smiled at her. It was at that moment that he realized that he had not been showing much care and concern to both his son and wife. If I can escape death seven days later, Iâll treat Sheila multiple times better.
âBecause youâre worth it!â
Sheila was deeply moved by his words. She did not expect Davin to say such a romantic thing.
âReally? Is that what you think, Davin?â
âYes!â
He approached her and gave her a doting look. âSheila, Iâm sorry for not being an ideal husband to you.â
Whatâs going on? Sheila was caught off guard. Heâs a completely different man today, to me and also to our son.
She mulled it over and then looked at Davin suspiciously. âDid you do something wrong behind my back?â
âNo!â
âThen, why do I have a strange feeling about all these? Why did you suddenlyâ¦â
âIâm leaving for Daemonic Mount, remember? So, weâll be separated for a while. I only want to be nice to you before my trip. I should be nice to you, anyway.â
Is that so?
Seeing that Sheila was dubious, Davin cleared his throat lightly. âAlright, itâs getting late. I have a morning flight to catch tomorrow. Letâs get some sleep.â
