Chapter 70 Light of hope
At Gray Mansion.
It’s already past midnight when Zaki entered Sei’s study room. He was surprised seeing him still awake at this point of time especially that he’s currently in this house. Sei is always been a nocturnal species, but not in this house anymore, simply because things changed since Davi appeared.
The house that used to be just a house now turned into a home for him. It became a place where he could sleep peacefully, as if he finally found his warm and safe haven.
"What are you doing? Can’t sleep?" he asked as he sat across him.
However, the man remained silent, causing Zaki to just sigh as he leaned lazily on the couch.
"Sei, did you know that you’re changing?" he continued as he stared at the moon peeking at the huge glass window.
"In what way?"
Sei’s reply instantly made Zaki’s spine to straightened. His vampire feature turned even more villainous when he grinned at him mischievously and meaningfully.
"You’re finally becoming more human. She’s turning you back into your human form. And unexpectedly, in such a fast pace," he answered and Sei remained silent again. His expression that was still void in any emotion remained blank as sheet, however, a faint light is glimmering silently in his usual Cimmerian eyes.
Zaki who spent most of his days beside him, and as the one who’s watching over him all this time, was among the few who knew how much of a monster Sei is, to the point that he never even imagined that one day someone could soften him like this.
Seeing him right now made Zaki realize that Davi’s existence is no longer just special. She’s more than that. She’s literally the light of hope that ignited a spark within Sei to feel again.
Ahh... so it’s true huh, love is indeed something that shouldn’t be underestimated at all.
Time passed and Sei remained wide awake as he lies on their bed. He stared at the white teddy bear on the table and at the books beside it. The room was quiet. The silence that used to never bothered him once before, now sounds noisy and he couldn’t sleep.
That moment, he realized that without her, this house was just another cold place.
...
The next morning, Sei just woke up and was walking down the stairs when Zaki and Ryou’s voices caught his attention. They seemed to be talking about something but the moment they saw him, they instantly clammed their mouth. Causing the cold man’s eyes narrowed immediately.
He then walked towards them when the young man Yijin appeared in front of him. However, seeing Yijin didn’t seemed to please the cold man.
"Why are you here?" he asked coldly. It was because Sei could already tell that he arrived without her.
"Er... boss, uhm. The miss forced me to come here," he answered as both his hand seemed to be hiding something behind his back. The cold man’s growing rage seemed to disappeared instantly the moment he heard she ordered him to come.
"Why?"
"She asked me to give you this."
Yijin stretched out his hand before him and the man turned speechless as he stared at the things in his hand.
