Sei was taken aback with the words she said. To him, her, calling him shameless was something serious to the point that it bothered him and made him felt nervous. And the fact that she was covering her face as not to see him made him aggravated his worry.
At that juncture, Sei didn't know how to react. He raised his hand reflexively but he stopped midway. He was at lost and unsure about what's the right thing for him to say and do. Well, it was because this was the first time his wife was acting like this.
He knew how to console her when she was sad or hurt, however, this time, she seemed to be displeased and somewhat angry that she even called him shameless. He was at lost how to deal with a situation like this, he could only simply apologize.
"Sorry. I'm sorry." He said, this time his face was even more apologetic.
