Chapter 70 - Light of Hope

At Gray Mansion.

It was already past midnight when Zaki entered Sei's study room. He was surprised when he saw Sei was still awake especially since he was currently in this house. Sei had always been a night owl, but ever since Davi started living here, this was the only place where he would follow the normal rules of daylight.

The house that used to just be a house had 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?" Zaki asked as he sat across Sei.

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 gla.s.s window.

"In what way?"

Sei's reply instantly made Zaki's spine straighten. His vampire-like features turned even more villainous when he grinned mischievously and meaningfully.

"You're finally becoming more human. She's turning you back into your human form. And unexpectedly, at such a fast pace," he answered and Sei became silent again. His expression that was still devoid of any emotion remained blank . However, a faint light was glimmering in his dazzling Chimerian eyes.

Zaki, who had spent most of his days beside him and was the one watching over him all this time, was among the few who knew how much of a monster Sei really was, 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 was no longer just special. She was way more than that. She was 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 after all.

Time pa.s.sed and Sei remained wide awake as he lay 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 never used to bother him before, now seemed so loud that he couldn't sleep.

At that moment, he realized that without her, this house was just another cold place.

…

The next morning, Sei 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 clamped their mouth shut. 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 seem 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 with both hands behind his back, like he was hiding something. The cold man's growing rage seemed to disappear instantly the moment he heard she had ordered him to come.

"Why?"

"She asked me to give you this."

Yijin stretched out his hand before Sei and the man became speechless as he stared at the things in YiJin's hand.
