Chapter 40: Spur-of-the-moment

They arrived at the Gray Mansion and Sei carried her in his arms again, like a princess. 'So this is how a bride feels like when her newly-wedded husband carries her into their new home after the wedding, huh', she thought.

His aura somehow returned back to its usual impassiveness, however, Davi could feel that something had definitely changed. At that moment, she felt as though Sei's attention was more focused on her than ever before and it made Davi's face feel a bit hot and she was highly delighted.

As soon as they entered the large lounge, he put her down on the couch and asked the maids to immediately make some food for her, never leaving her side as though he was watching her just in case she stubbornly forced herself to walk.

After her meal, Davi stared at the quiet man beside her and noticing her gaze, Sei talked. "Speak."

"I want to take a bath." She said and upon hearing her, Sei stood, lifted her without delay and started walking towards the stairs as he carried her in his arms.

Davi on the other hand was a bit taken aback since he didn't ask the maids to follow them.

"Can you call the maids to accompany me? I'm afraid I might make my feet bleed again if---,"

"Why? You prefer the maids more than I?"

As if time stood still, Davi froze in his arms for a long moment. Her long straight lashes fluttered and her brain just seemed to shut down for a moment. When she finally returned to reality and realized what he just said, Davi didn't know how to react or what to say, as a flush just crept up from her neck to her face as if all her blood went up into her head. W-w-what did he just say? I-is this man even aware of how perverted he sounds right now?

She was at loss as to what to say to him and while Davi was wracking her brain for what she should say or do next, a sudden burst of laughter echoed loudly from below that instantly made Sei pause.

"Pfft. Hahaha!" Zaki's sharp ears just overheard Sei's words and he couldn't help but laugh no matter how hard he tried not to.

However, upon hearing the laughing man downstairs, Sei just ignored him as he continued walking nonchalantly, as if a certain mosquito just made a senseless scene.

Zaki's laugh somehow pierced through Davi's dazed thoughts, bringing her back to her senses. Her brain started to work normally again, even though she was still blushing intensely, and she started reconsidering a lot of things. She knew there was nothing wrong with him helping her to take a bath since he is technically her husband and most importantly, this could be a chance for her to see how he would react towards her in that kind of situation. She thought that this might be the unplanned opportunity that she had been seeking.

Thinking about those pros, she was about to consider preparing herself mentally and emotionally but a certain conceivable possibility, like a huge monster that was forcefully destroying her resolve, ran through her mind. What if I fail? What if he won't even react even when he saw me naked? Wouldn't that end up being way too lethal a blow for me? Can I even face him properly after such a huge, embarrassing defeat?

Davi looked befuddled and lost. She couldn't decide which path she should take. A part of her still wanted to try. However, she thought about her original plan. She was supposed to do it slowly and court him first before jumping into him. Her original plan was one where she would only do this kind of seduction when the probability of her success had reached the highest level. She didn't want to sacrifice her plans for a spur-of-the-moment gamble. But she was as curious as a cat and her curiosity was itching to be scratched.
