Chapter 385 - Exchange (1/2)
”I thought at that time that the contracts and marriage certificates were obtained illegally anyway and that it brought some unpleasant memories so I burned it. There are also no records of our marriage in the civil registers so our… our marriage was effectively nullified.”
Davi ”...”
As Sei finished his statement, Davi's mouth turned agape, looking at him. She only blinked and was speechless. H-huh? He burned it out of excitement? S-seriously?
Just as Davi was processing the things she heard, Sei, who was waiting for her to speak, reached his limit. He clenched his fists to stop them from shaking and his eyes held a hint of fear in them. He wondered what she was thinking. Would she forgive him? Was she going to get mad and get angry at him?
At that moment, he just looked as though the words 'how could I have been so stupid!? Someone send me a time machine so I can go back to that night and stop this from ever happening!' were flashing across his eyes.
The next moment, Davi was still speechless when suddenly, without another word; Sei suddenly knelt on one knee in front of her, like a knight kneeling before his queen, causing Davi's eyes to widen.
”I'm very sorry. I didn't think things through properly.” he said. His voice was filled with sincerity and regret and his eyes begged for her to forgive him. He looked like a drenched adorable puppy pleading for forgiveness.
”I… I'm… I'm willing to accept any punishment you give me… anything at all, as long as you forgive me… I…” Sei was stammering, as though he was being tortured by Davi's silence. Even though he believes that his Davi won't leave him and hate him because of this, he can't help but feel devastated at the thought that she was being hurt by this.
Davi, on the other hand felt like Sei was attacking her nonstop. He just kept on dropping series of arrows one after another without stopping, causing her unable to choose which should she reacts to. He just confessed his reason, and before Davi could process what he said, he suddenly kneeled asking for forgiveness and before she could even utter a word, he asked her to punish him. Somehow, it seems like its Davi's turn to be attacked by a virus called Sei and her response was being slowed down that the first thing she did was simply reached out her hands and placed them on both his cheeks, without any word.
She then stretched his cheeks as if she was trying to split his face into two, causing Sei to widen his eyes. Well, Davi was actually still in shock. She couldn't believe that this Sei, the one who reigned over the world of business, would actually make this kind of mistake?
Davi was speechless. She didn't know what to say so she just reacted by pinching his cheeks hard, as if she was just trying to just vent something through it.
At that point in time, Davi didn't know if she was supposed to get angry or laugh. Sei's reason was somehow ridiculously unbelievable but it wasn't as bad as she thought. Truth be told, this made Davi felt like she was feeling so worried over nothing. She was glad that their marriage was nullified due to a silly mistake that wasn't intentional. To Davi, knowing that Sei didn't do this on purpose was enough for her to calm her troubled heart and understand everything. After all, her Sei was being so adorably cute right now. And it was just impossible for her not to forgive this man even if his reason will be much worse than this.
As Davi pinched his face playfully, her heart was being shot by multiple red fluffy arrows as she looked at Sei's puppy eyes. She couldn't help but imagine him in his cute chibi self and she suddenly had the urge to bully this adorable man while he was still in this state a little.
Thus, Davi the bully's expression suddenly changed as she finally spoke.
”So… I can't call you my husband anymore?” she asked, and as though a thunder struck him, Sei jolted and he hastily held Davi's hand.
