Chapter 158 When I come back
Later that day, Davi went back to her bed and slept again. And by the time she opened her eyes, it was already evening.
She rose and sat on her bed when she saw Sei’s silhouette sitting beside the window and quietly gazing outside.
Davi just smiled the moment she saw him before she quietly moved to leave the bed. She looked at Sei again and it seemed like he didn’t notice her yet.
Thus, she slowly walked closer to him. She was thinking about startling him but before she could reach him, the man suddenly turned towards her.
Sei was about to move when Davi leaped towards him and she too looked outside the window.
"What are you looking at?" she asked.
"The moon," he just replied while his gaze was now locked unto her.
Upon hearing him, Davi then lifted her face and gaze at the moon above.
"I see... the moon’s really pretty tonight too..." she said but for some reason she paused. It was because a memory from yesterday suddenly flashed across her brain. She remembered that Sei somehow told her that she was prettier than the moon. However, she was unsure if he really said it or it was just her false memory.
Curious, Davi then gazed at Sei before she asked him.
"Last night... when I was drunk and dragged you in the middle of the road, I remember you said something to me... but I’m kind of unsure... what did you tell me that time?" she asked when Sei just gazed at her sincere and bright eyes.
And the next moment, he lifted his hand and he caressed her cheek.
"I said that... you’re much more beautiful than the moon." He answered causing Davi to fell speechless as she just blinked three times before she could manage to talk again.
"What?" she asked again, still looking at him with disbelieving eyes.
"You’re much more beautiful than the moon." He repeated and Davi’s face immediately turned crimson red. Flabbergasted with Sei’s words, her heartbeat began to race as well.
Davi fell speechless for a long while but before she could talk again, Sei suddenly stood and hugged her.
That moment, Davi’s words stocked on her throat. It was because the way Sei hugged her seemed a bit different. It was as if he was seeking comfort from her. Causing Davi to reflexively raise her hand and just patted his back gently.
"Sei?" Davi called his name but Sei just leaned his head on her shoulder.
After a short while of silence, he raised his head and gazed at her.
"How are you feeling now?" he asked and Davi immediately answered him.
"I’m completely fine now." She said as she smiled, trying to show him that she’s already recovered and there’s no need for him to worry about her anymore.
"Thanks to you, thank you for staying by my side. Thank you for taking care of me." She continued as she gazed at him lovingly.
"You’re my wife. It’s my responsibility to take care of you." Sei replied and Davi just blushed again. She started to realize that Sei seemed to be a bit different that moment.
W-what’s going? Why his words suddenly being so damn sweet?
However, the next words that left Sei’s mouth faded Davi’s smile.
"I’m... tonight, I’m leaving again." He said and Davi fell silent for a while before she could reply him.
"When will you come back?"
"I’m not sure."
"I see..." For some reason, an indescribable sad feeling started spreading in Davi’s chest. That even though she tried her best not showing it to him, she just found it hard to continue talking.
Until the next second, Sei just hugged her tight again. This time his hug seemed to be trying to comfort her and trying to soothe her saddened heart.
"When I come back, I have something to tell you." He said with a really soft voice almost a whisper.
And upon hearing his words, Davi didn’t know why but her heart just started to flutter wildly. She just felt as though, it was something extremely important, that she couldn’t help but feel nervous.
However, Ravi just bit her lip as she hugged him back tightly before she answered.
"Mm... I will wait for you."
