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

"Mommy, I understand why you left. I was sad but the only thing that matters to me is you’re here with me now." The little boy replied and Davi just tightened her embrace again. Her son was such an adorably sweet boy. His every words were like fresh morning dew slowly watering her withered heart. Holding him like this and hearing his heartwarming assurance made Davi felt that after all the agony and pain she went through in this life, the world is still beautiful and life is worth living.

Meanwhile, the big man beside the mother and son was starting to exude an aura freezing enough to make the people close to him felt a chilling pressure, except of course for the two who were completely unaffected. He seemed to have lost his cool temporarily but after taking deep breathes, the man’s darkened aura returned back to normal.

Time passed and after the family’s lunch, Davi excused herself to go to the comfort room, leaving the father and son sitting quietly across each other.

"When did you planned to do that?" Sei curiously asked and Little Shin just tilted his head as he looked at his father who seemed to be somewhat bewildered.

"That? Ahh... the rose and the kiss? Uncle Zaki told me before that mom once gave you a rose and a peck on your cheek, so I thought I’d do it to her too." The boy honestly replied and somehow, the veins in Sei’s forehead couldn’t help but bulged. So this is Zaki’s doing...

"Why would you decide to do that?" The father asked again, maintaining his usual cool and calm demeanor, as if he was just asking some common question to his son.

"Because I heard it was mother who courted you, even though you as the man should be the one doing that. Somehow, I felt bad for mother so I will work hard to court her to make her come back home." The little guy answered without any second thoughts and Sei was speechless. He didn’t actually know what to even feel after hearing his own son said those words to him.

"..."

"And dad, I’m sure you have your reason why you wanted to take it slow but I’m scared... what if mother disappears again?" The boy continued. Worries and uncertainties were flashing across his face and Sei could only raise his hand and messed his son’s hair.

"You... when did you stop trusting your father?" Sei replied as he looked at his son coldly. But Little Shin who was used to his father’s temper and occasional coldness was unaffected at all.

"It’s not like that... It’s just that, uncle Zaki told me you’re like a computer lagging down and turning slow like turtle when dealing with anything concerning mom. That was why he asked me to lend you a hand and do something to help you fast track it." Little Shin innocently but wisely answered and Sei’s veins was about to pop. Zaki...

Sei was about to speak to redeem himself when Davi arrived, prompting the two to be quiet like nothing had happened.

After awhile, Davi and Little Shin entered a room. It was an art event involving one parent and one child so Sei went outside the building. And as soon as he saw Zaki waiting in the car, the man glared at him sharply. Of course, Zaki felt those icy daggers that were pointed on his neck and he could only deduce that Little Shin might have done something.

"Why are you here? Don’t tell me you walked out because you can’t contain your jealousy with your very own son." Zaki said, grinning mischievously.

"I admit I’m feeling jealous but for the sake of my plan, I’m allowing Little Shin to monopolize her today." Sei replied smoothly, causing Zaki to raise a brow.

"Ohh... really?" He could only utter.

"Zaki, Kir already arrived. You can now leave tonight. My wife is already here so from now on, you’ll be free to do what you wanted. You should start focusing on your own life now." Sei suddenly said. His voice was serious and Zaki knew why he’s telling him this again. However, Zaki just leaned blankly at the Maybach as he put his hands in his pockets.

"Okay, I’ll leave tonight and bring her with me when I come back."

"Mm. Also, go ask her to marry you already. If you need help, you can always ask me."

"Why would I ask you for help?! You can’t even take your wife home yet."

"..."

For a moment, Sei fell speechless. Without missing a beat, he raised his head and gazed at the sky as he uttered the words with strong conviction. "I will make sure to bring her home tonight."
