Bab 16: Why are You Mad?

The next morning at Gray mansion.

Davi woke up, puzzled. She remembered what happened to their first date and she bit her lip.

My god, what have I done?

She held her head and tugged at her own hair as if she was a business woman who just lost her company overnight. Her only thought was, 'My life is over'.

"Does your head hurt?"

Sei's voice was like a cold wind, abruptly enveloping Davi's consciousness. She was so frightened that she suddenly grabbed the blanket and covered herself.

"N-no-nope, I'm fine," she replied with a hoarse voice.

Sei's eyes, behind his mask, narrowed upon seeing the girl's reaction. However, he moved towards her and he sat on the bed, facing her.

"You fainted yesterday. The doctor said you might be phasmophobic. Is it true?"

Davi was still tense but Sei's words somehow felt gentle, making her slowly put the blanket down, peeking at him like a cat. And after a short while, she nodded.

"Then why did you still enter the house?"

"B-because you like horrors?"

"Who said I like horrors?"

"Huh? But weren't you the one who chose…" Davi couldn't continue her statement. It was because she realized that it wasn't him who dragged her there, she was the one who dragged him. Wait, was it all just a misunderstanding?

Davi couldn't believe herself and she bit her lip again. At that same moment, just by looking at her, Sei could already tell that she must have misunderstood him.

"Sorry," she said as she stared at him, fidgeting like a cute, shy, little kid.

"For what?"

"Because our first date was a mess."

"It's not your fault," he firmly said. Then he lifted his elegant and long arm towards her and landed his palm gently on her head and caressed her hair, stunning Davi and making her speechless. That short moment seemed to last forever and she felt like all her frozen nerves were melted like chocolate under the bright sun. W-what's going on?

…

Upon leaving Davi's room, Sei's gentle aura instantly turned unbelievably cold as his gaze fell on Zaki.

"What happened to those people who abused her?"

"Hmm… well, they're all shamelessly currently living in that mansion until now."

"Destroy them."

Sei's words were tyrannical as usual, giving no room for Zaki to even speak his mind. However, as expected, Sei's decision was the same as his, so he abruptly answered him with an evil smile, telling him that he already did.

"But what about the house? I found out that she doesn't wish to go back there ever again." Zaki said while his gaze was scrutinizing Sei's expression.

However, Sei just replied a short "Get it", without showing any emotion at all, making Zaki feel a bit disappointed. But still, Zaki was stubborn and he was intrigued about Sei's current mood.

"Anyway, Sei… You've obviously been mad since yesterday. Why are you mad? Is it because your precious first date with your wife turned out to be chaotic? Is it because she ripped your shirt and made you look like a mess for the first time in your life? Is it because your cute bunny mask suffered the same fate as you? Is it---,"

"Shut up."

"Haha. Yeah, yeah. I got it. But I personally think that you're mad because of what happened to her, right? You're concerned about th---,"

"Get out. Now."

"Yes, yes. I'm leaving, I'm leaving. Why can't you be nice to me for once?"
