Chapter 293 What Happened to You?
Haru was stunned. He never thought that this loyal man of his sister was now holding another woman in his arms. His eyes widened as he immediately turned his back and he started walking away. He was so downhearted. He thought that his big bro will forever wait for her but it seems like his dream for them to reunite once more was now bleak.
"Wait." Sei said and he halted.
"B-big bro... d-does this mean, you’re tired of waiting for my sister now? Didn’t you said you will wait for her and marry her again?" Haru asked without turning back when suddenly, he heard a voice that jolted him.
"H-haru?" the owner of familiar voice called his name and the young man immediately turned. As soon as he saw her, his eyes widen.
"S-sis?" he uttered, as disbelief flashed across his face. And when Davi hastily walked closer to him and hugged him tight, the young man teared up.
"Sis. Is this really you? Y-you’re back now?!" The young man exclaimed and Davi nodded as he embraced her again.
"Mm. It’s me. Haru... I’m sorry. I’m sorry. You’re so tall now." She uttered and the young man shook his head.
"No, I understand why you disappeared so please don’t say sorry. Big bro told me everything. Sis, I can’t believe you’re here now. Where have you been all this time?" Haru was so emotional and Davi felt her heart clenching again. She wanted to cry with happiness. She finally met her little brother again.
One after another, everyone she loves were coming back to her, and she could only thank the heavens for blessing her like this.
Back when she was hiding, Davi knew that Hinari or Sei will take care of Haru once she’s gone. That’s why Davi actually intended to confront Sei a while ago to ask about Haru. However, because of what happened, she completely forgot about it.
"Haru, I’m glad you’re alright." Davi said as she reached out her hand to touch his head. He wasn’t the little Haru anymore.
Meanwhile, Sei who was quietly watching them just stood there for a while before he quietly climbed the stairs. Well, he knew that he can’t snatch her right now. He knew she’s been missing her little brother too.
Thus, without a choice and being considerate, Sei decided to give the siblings time to be together. He convinced himself that he still have lots of time in his hands. He thought that he will give Haru the opportunity to be with her now because he intends to monopolize her soon after this.
Although, the real reason why Sei could convince himself to let go was actually because of the word Haru just uttered. When the young man said the words ’marry her again’, something in his heart flared. Because he remembered their heartless marriage contract.
As soon as he reached his study room, he entered and took the contract they both signed almost six years ago. And as he stared at it, his face darkened. He took the papers with him and quietly walked downstairs.
Until he reached the courtyard.
The Chen residence’s exterior was almost similar with the Gray mansion where they lived before in Country J. The garden in the courtyard was also similar, although the flowers weren’t as beautiful as the flowers his wife has planted.
Sei stood in the corner and he took out a lighter from his pocket. He glared at the papers in his hand again for a while before he lit it. However, the papers were thick so he separated them and took a single page first and he started burning it.
His eyes seemed delighted as he watched the paper slowly being consumed by the fire. Well, he always wanted to destroy this thing. It was because he knew that this will be replaced soon with something filled with pure love and not heartlessness. Sei felt so elated. If one could see him at that moment, he would appear as a chibi adorable man grinning while his black tail was swinging with happiness.
After the first page were burned, he took another one and lit it when the phone in his pocket vibrated.
He looked at it and when he saw it was Zaki, Sei immediately answered it.
"Hello? Sei?"
"Mm. What is it?"
"Well... what are you doing?"
Sei’s brows knitted upon hearing Zaki’s words. Well, all this time, they only called each other for business or emergency purposes, so it was really strange for Zaki to ask what he’s doing.
Additionally, they were always beside each other’s all this time so they will never called each other just to ask such thing.
"..." Sei was speechless.
"Hey, don’t be cold and talk."
"If you don’t have anything to say, I’m hanging up."
"Hang up on me and I won’t bring my fiancée back."
"..."
Sei was again speechless. His brows knitted harder as he continued what he was doing.
"Are you threatening me?"
"Obviously... if you want my fiancée’s help, then don’t hang up."
"You..." Sei could only give in. It was because he knew that even if he sent his troops to bring home Hinari, Zaki will only annihilate them. He knew that Zaki was the only one he could never control by force.
"What is it?" Sei could only ask.
"Didn’t I asked you what you’re doing right now?"
"What happened to you? Did something bad happen?"
"Don’t ask and just answer. I’m the one who asked first!"
"..."
"Talk, damn it. What’s so hard about answering a simple question?"
"I’m burning something."
"What something?"
"..."
"What something? Talk damn it."
"..." Sei sighed deeply and he pinched the muscle between his brows. He could only wonder what the hell is happening with this man.
"If you won’t answer in 1 second I will delay---"
"Papers."
"What papers?"
"You..."
"I said what papers?! Damn it Sei, why are you so hard to talk with on the phone?!"
"..."
"1 sec---"
"Zaki... I think there’s something wrong with your head right now. I’m worried about you."
"H-huh?"
"Why don’t you call a doctor instead of me?"
"Shut up. I’m completely fine! So? What paper are you burning?"
"..."
"Say it or---"
"Marriage contract."
