Chapter 57 - One Hell of a Kind (1/2)

”Easy... just let her beat you and it will all be over after that!”

Hearing Zaki's advice, Sei shrugged Zaki's hand off his shoulder.

”I can't wake her up now. We still need to get back right away,” he said and Zaki could only tug at his hair, showing his extreme disappointment.

Damn it! What bad timing.

”Then just let her beat you when we're officially back, okay?” Zaki obviously sounded like he just wanted to see him get beaten up by his wife so Sei just replied with a cold ”Shut up” as he walked towards the entrance.

Some moments later, the door of the bedroom was pushed open gently and silently.

Footsteps then drew closer and Sei sat on the side of the bed as the yellow light from the bedside lamp lit the room softly.

Sei stared, for some time, at the sleeping girl still holding a book in her hand, before he slowly took the book away and put it on the table.

For some unknown reason, looking at her peaceful angel-like feature, Sei suddenly felt strangely comforted, as if she was an alluring oasis in the middle of a vast dry desert.

He watched her quietly like that for a long time until he reflexively started caressing her soft cheek, as gently as ever.

Shortly after, Sei was stunned as he found himself touching her face. He was about to pull back when Davi suddenly reached out her hand causing Sei to freeze as if he was a thief who was caught red-handed. Davi immediately caught his hand with her eyes closed then she hugged it as if his hand was some teddy bear. At that very moment, he remained thunderstruck while the girl just continued sleeping soundly without letting go of his hand.

Sei didn't move an inch after that. He didn't want to wake her up but he also needed to leave as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to remove his hand without waking her up.

Meanwhile, Zaki sent Sei a message. They were running out of time and they needed to leave now. However, Sei's reply made his eyes widen and he needed to read the message again to make sure he wasn't seeing things. ”Bring me a teddy bear.”
