I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

Chapter 235 Unlike before

By the time Davi and Zaki returned, invisible sweat drops fell from Zaki’s forehead as soon as he felt the cold aura brewing around Sei.

Thankfully, Davi hastily ran towards him with a bright smile and Sei’s cold gazes were slowly forced to go warm. Taking advantage with the change of atmosphere, Zaki then immediately bid farewell with his usual mischievous grin and he finally entered the car and left the Gray mansion.

Later that night, the old man started executing his plans. He secretly put a drug in Sei’s tea, however, as though Sei already foreseen everything the moment the old man came to this house, he didn’t drink his tea. He looked towards his own grandfather with an eyes that seemed telling him the words, ’don’t waste your time doing unnecessary things because I won’t fall for it’.

The poor old man along with his partner in crime, Mr. Gou, could only sigh with great disappointment. However, of course, their determination was still strong and they didn’t waver.

Mr. Gou also told the old man that lately, Sei started leaving their room at night that he even once slept in the sofa. Hearing the shocking news, the old man then thought about locking their room to prevent Sei from leaving.

Thus, that night, before the couple entered their room, the old man ordered the maids to gather the keys and gave them all to him. And so, as soon as the couple entered, the old man locked the door.

However, the moment Davi fell asleep, and before Sei’s desire gets the better of him again, Sei carefully left the bed and took out the spare key in his pocket and opened the door. Disappointing the two old men watching secretly to the core, when they saw him stepping out of the room.

Morning came and nothing happened. Sei never fell to any of the endless traps the old man had set.

Davi on the other hand also started feeling that Sei seemed to be putting distance between them every time they’re in bed. Sei was still being his usual self, however, for some reason, unlike before, he strangely becomes silent and stiff as rock when they’re in bed.

Since he arrived home, Davi always wakes up alone in the bed. She also realized that she was wrong thinking that Sei was just rising earlier than her. She found out that he was actually not sleeping in their bed for two nights straight and its making her felt curious, at the same time, she felt a certain unpleasant feeling that was starting to brew within her. However, as optimistic as she is, Davi thought that there might be something that was occupying Sei’s mind at the moment, so she decided to stop thinking too much about it.

...

Sei just stepped out of his study room when Davi walked towards him and held his hand.

"Are your work done?" She asked and when the man nodded, Davi drags him and Sei just quietly followed her until they arrived in the garden. Davi was trying to engage him to do normal activities to at least relax him so she thought about letting him water the plants this time.

"Did you work again last night?" she asked as he gave him a garden hose and Sei just answered with an "Mm" as he curiously looked at the hose in his hand.

Looking at the way he seriously stares at the hose’s nozzle, Davi couldn’t help but smile.

"Your first time using it?" she asked and Sei nodded.

"Okay, you can press that button." Davi said and so he pressed it without pointing the hose towards the plants. Water then gushed out of the nozzle and it went straight towards Davi. That moment, Sei’s eyes widened and the hose fell from his hand as soon as he saw Davi being drenched.

He hastily walked closer to her with a worried and anxious look as he tried wiping Davi’s face with the sleeve of his sweatshirt.

"A-are you okay? I’m sorry. I’m---" Sei couldn’t continue his worried words because Davi suddenly chuckled.

"It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m fine." She replied but the extremely apologetic look in his eyes didn’t fade. Thus, the next second, to make him stop feeling sorry, Davi suddenly picked the hose and pointed the water at him and drenched him back as she continued chuckling.
