Chapter 356 - Hold on, boss! (1/2)

By the time Zaki returned inside the car, Hinari's mouth was still hung open in shock. It was because for some reason, Zaki's aura was terrifyingly cold and dark as if he just came back from annihilating an entire enemy clan. His usual calm demeanor was nowhere to be found and his expression was as scary as a beast.

W-w-what just happened? M-my beauty, can you please stop turning into a beast? Please, return to your noble and beautiful self, you're scaring me when you're like this… T^T

As Hinari was crying without tears, she was reflexively moving herself to the corner most side of the back seat of the car. She had never been scared to this extent of Zaki before, probably because every time Zaki's mood turned dangerous, Hinari would always play her mischievous tricks to divert his attention and extinguish the terrifying aura coming from him. However, now that she was banned from flirting and touching him, what was she supposed to do now?

After some moments, the car finally moved, but Zaki remained in this terrifying state. The silence that enveloped the car was deafening and Hinari who was not used to this kind of situation was getting more and more restless as time went on. She could hardly stand Zaki being like this. She'd rather have him scolding her than him being this unusually silent and cold. She badly wanted to do something about this suffocating atmosphere so Hinari started by clearing her throat softly.

She observed Zaki's reaction but the man didn't even bat an eyelid.

The next moment, Hinari breathed in deeply as she gathered what was left of her courage and opened her mouth.

”Uhm… Beauty, have you thought about my punishment? If you already decided what it is, let me know so I can prepare myself---”

”Shut up.”

Upon those words 'shut up', coming out of Zaki's mouth, Hinari's mouth hung open again. Zaki's voice was chilly as he said these words and it sent a shiver down Hinari's spine.

E-err… what exactly happened to this man? Has my beauty really turned into a beast now?! He actually told me to shut up?! Wait… don't tell me that this was his punishment for me! Are you serious?! First, he banned me from flirting and touching him, now he was forbidding me from talking? Aren't you being way too heartless to me?

Meanwhile, in the other car, fast travelling back to the Chen mansion, Davi, who somehow managed to crawl into Sei's lap, was murmuring to no one in particular. Her head was currently resting on Sei's shoulder, with both her arms flung around his neck. She was like a big baby in Sei's arms.

”Don't worry, Little Shin. Mommy's right here. Mommy's not going to leave you again… wait for me okay?” Davi was still sniffling as she said these words and Sei couldn't help but feel a slight tinge of pain in his heart as he heard Davi speaking weakly to herself.

Sei understood that her pain from leaving her son was still carved through her heart. He understood that it wasn't going to be easy for her scars to fully heal and that was why she was saying these things subconsciously.

As Sei was holding her so tightly, he wanted to take all her pain away but he didn't know how. All he could think of to do was place a hand on Davi's head and slowly pat her while whispering the words, ”It's ok. Everything is going to be ok now.”

Sei's soft words and gentle voice seemed to have pierced through Davi's consciousness as she slowly stopped sniffling and just laid her head on Sei's shoulders.
