Chapter 372 - Signal (1/2)

”Son, are you alright? Why didn't you stop Davi from leaving?” Mrs. Chen gently asked as she held Sei's hand. When Sei didn't say a word, the worried couple both led him towards the couch.

As soon as they reached the lounge, Sei took a seat and dropped his head in his hands. He looked so sad and dejected and his family didn't know what to say to him.

This was the first time they saw Sei looking so defeated. He was like a puppy that was drenched in the rain. Even Hinari, who had always been afraid of him since the very first day she met him was now having doubts as to whether this man was still the stone cold Sei-the-great she knew. Was this really the person who threatened to feed her to the crocodiles? Gosh, how could the lion king be drastically transformed into a depressed little kitten? This is just so unbelievably shocking!

At that moment, everyone was still silent. Their ecstatic faces which were so excited about the wedding plans a moment ago now turned extremely gloomy. As though they were all transported into the hospital's lobby.

But actually, it wasn't just Sei who was currently acting strange. Now that both of them were sitting next to each other, everyone couldn't help but wonder what was going on. The mighty Sei who was never defeated by an enemy in this world suddenly looked like he was devastated and extremely depressed while the usually ever so energetic and jolly Zaki looked like a vampire just sucked all his blood making him look so weak and tired. Weren't these two the legendary duo who rocked the world and held it in the palm of their hands? Well, Sei and Zaki were men who never showed any weaknesses since they were children so it was such a shock for everyone to see them in this state.

”Sei, don't you think you're overthinking things? I personally think that this matter isn't that severe. You don't have to look so devastated. This can be solve by a simple talk, you know?” Mrs. Chen finally spoke and Hinari too joined madam Chen.

”That's right. I'm sure Davi will come back as soon as possible once you explain your reason to her. She won't hate you because of that. Her love to you isn't that fragile that it would break at the first sign of trouble.” Hinari said and Sei finally raised his head a bit. Somehow, he looked like his burden was at least lifted a little. Well, Sei wasn't actually acting like this because he was thinking that Davi would hate him. He believed in Davi and he knew that she loved him so much, but he understood that this surely hurt her. The pain he saw in her eyes moments ago devastated him. She just regained her emotions back but another devastating news reached her ears. Sei was afraid and worried that this will affect her emotional state again. He couldn't help but blame himself for his carelessness.

Meanwhile, Zaki couldn't take the gloomy atmosphere anymore so he forcefully opened his eyes and broke the silence.

”Tch! This snail! What are you so worried about? You'll marry her again anyway. It can't be helped that she'll feel hurt but if you tell her you did it so you could marry her again, everything will be solved, as easy as that.” Zaki lazily said before he closed his eyes again and somehow, Sei's brain jolted and was once again slowly beginning to process well. The words Zaki said was like a revelation to him and he could only face palm himself. T-that's right, what I should be worrying about right now was how to redeem myself and make her forgive me for hurting her due to my foolishness…

”Y-you're right.” Sei finally spoke and he looked like he was alive again and the weakened Zaki opened his eyes once more.

”But you must ask her to forgive you first before telling her about the wedding. We can't just ignore the possibility that she will not accept your proposal right away, because of what you did.” Zaki said, and the energy that just returned into Sei's disappeared once again. This time Sei's expression went from bad to worse. T-that's right… what if Davi won't accept my proposal for a long time because of what i did? W-what should i do?

Looking at how Zaki helped the situation brighten up just to have become even worse in the end, everyone was speechless.

Mr. and Mrs Chen: ”…”

Grandpa and Hinari: ”…”

Zaki… why did you say those words? You should just let it be… you just gave him more anxiety!

Everyone couldn't help but pinch the skin between their brows.
