Chapter 293 What Happened to You?
I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband
Haru was stunned. He never thought that this loyal man of his sister was now holding another woman in his arms. His eyes widened as he immediately turned his back and he started walking away. He was so downhearted. He thought that his big bro will forever wait for her but it seems like his dream for them to reunite once more was now bleak.
"Wait." Sei said and he halted.
"B-big bro... d-does this mean, youâre tired of waiting for my sister now? Didnât you said you will wait for her and marry her again?" Haru asked without turning back when suddenly, he heard a voice that jolted him.
"H-haru?" the owner of familiar voice called his name and the young man immediately turned. As soon as he saw her, his eyes widen.
"S-sis?" he uttered, as disbelief flashed across his face. And when Davi hastily walked closer to him and hugged him tight, the young man teared up.
"Sis. Is this really you? Y-youâre back now?!" The young man exclaimed and Davi nodded as he embraced her again.
"Mm. Itâs me. Haru... Iâm sorry. Iâm sorry. Youâre so tall now." She uttered and the young man shook his head.
"No, I understand why you disappeared so please donât say sorry. Big bro told me everything. Sis, I canât believe youâre here now. Where have you been all this time?" Haru was so emotional and Davi felt her heart clenching again. She wanted to cry with happiness. She finally met her little brother again.
One after another, everyone she loves were coming back to her, and she could only thank the heavens for blessing her like this.
Back when she was hiding, Davi knew that Hinari or Sei will take care of Haru once sheâs gone. Thatâs why Davi actually intended to confront Sei a while ago to ask about Haru. However, because of what happened, she completely forgot about it.
"Haru, Iâm glad youâre alright." Davi said as she reached out her hand to touch his head. He wasnât the little Haru anymore.
Meanwhile, Sei who was quietly watching them just stood there for a while before he quietly climbed the stairs. Well, he knew that he canât snatch her right now. He knew sheâs been missing her little brother too.
Thus, without a choice and being considerate, Sei decided to give the siblings time to be together. He convinced himself that he still have lots of time in his hands. He thought that he will give Haru the opportunity to be with her now because he intends to monopolize her soon after this.
Although, the real reason why Sei could convince himself to let go was actually because of the word Haru just uttered. When the young man said the words âmarry her againâ, something in his heart flared. Because he remembered their heartless marriage contract.
As soon as he reached his study room, he entered and took the contract they both signed almost six years ago. And as he stared at it, his face darkened. He took the papers with him and quietly walked downstairs.
Until he reached the courtyard.
The Chen residenceâs exterior was almost similar with the Gray mansion where they lived before in Country J. The garden in the courtyard was also similar, although the flowers werenât as beautiful as the flowers his wife has planted.
Sei stood in the corner and he took out a lighter from his pocket. He glared at the papers in his hand again for a while before he lit it. However, the papers were thick so he separated them and took a single page first and he started burning it.
His eyes seemed delighted as he watched the paper slowly being consumed by the fire. Well, he always wanted to destroy this thing. It was because he knew that this will be replaced soon with something filled with pure love and not heartlessness. Sei felt so elated. If one could see him at that moment, he would appear as a chibi adorable man grinning while his black tail was swinging with happiness.
After the first page were burned, he took another one and lit it when the phone in his pocket vibrated.
He looked at it and when he saw it was Zaki, Sei immediately answered it.
"Hello? Sei?"
"Mm. What is it?"
"Well... what are you doing?"
Seiâs brows knitted upon hearing Zakiâs words. Well, all this time, they only called each other for business or emergency purposes, so it was really strange for Zaki to ask what heâs doing.
Additionally, they were always beside each otherâs all this time so they will never called each other just to ask such thing.
"..." Sei was speechless.
"Hey, donât be cold and talk."
"If you donât have anything to say, Iâm hanging up."
"Hang up on me and I wonât bring my fiancée back."
"..."
Sei was again speechless. His brows knitted harder as he continued what he was doing.
"Are you threatening me?"
"Obviously... if you want my fiancéeâs help, then donât hang up."
"You..." Sei could only give in. It was because he knew that even if he sent his troops to bring home Hinari, Zaki will only annihilate them. He knew that Zaki was the only one he could never control by force.
"What is it?" Sei could only ask.
"Didnât I asked you what youâre doing right now?"
"What happened to you? Did something bad happen?"
"Donât ask and just answer. Iâm the one who asked first!"
"..."
"Talk, damn it. Whatâs so hard about answering a simple question?"
"Iâm burning something."
"What something?"
"..."
"What something? Talk damn it."
"..." Sei sighed deeply and he pinched the muscle between his brows. He could only wonder what the hell is happening with this man.
"If you wonât answer in 1 second I will delay---"
"Papers."
"What papers?"
"You..."
"I said what papers?! Damn it Sei, why are you so hard to talk with on the phone?!"
"..."
"1 sec---"
"Zaki... I think thereâs something wrong with your head right now. Iâm worried about you."
"H-huh?"
"Why donât you call a doctor instead of me?"
"Shut up. Iâm completely fine! So? What paper are you burning?"
"..."
"Say it or---"
"Marriage contract."
