Chapter 370 About his future plans
During the fight between Sei and Zhao Meng, not many people actually knew the real reason behind the downfall of Zhao Meng. Since his marriage to the royal family was kept a secret, nobody knew that Chen Seiji was born a prince until now. Well, could the media ever find this information when it was a deadly hacker that erased it from existence?
The only information about why Zhao Meng and his mistress were put into prison was because of a murder case and their illegal activities. Only a few knew that his downfall was because of his own son’s revenge.
That was why, even when Davi was following the news about that issue while she was still in hiding, she didn’t get anymore information about Sei’s background.
And since she came back, both of them were so preoccupied with lot of things and they still didn’t have that much time to speak with each other about all the secrets involving Sei. So even if she felt weird that she doesn’t even know that her Sei was actually a prince, Davi fully understands their circumstances. After all, she too still have lots that she still couldn’t tell Sei.
"Grandfather, this is Davi." Sei’s voice made Davi snap back to reality as she looked at the old man smiling so gently at her.
"Pleased to meet you, my dear granddaughter." He said as they embraced and once again, Davi still felt something strangely familiar about him.
"Pleased to meet you too, grandfather." She replied gently and the old man once again smiled at her warmly.
"You two have already met before, though." Sei interjected and Davi’s eyes widened, while the old man simply scratched his head.
"Err... I am sorry young miss for disguising myself previously." He said and as soon as he heard the old man calling him ’young miss’, Davi gasped.
"Yo-you’re Mr. Kazuki, the butler?!" she exclaimed and the old man just laughed.
"Haha. I’m sorry for hiding my face to you back then," he said and somehow, Davi couldn’t help but puff her cheeks the moment she recovered from the surprise. No wonder he felt suspicious back then. So in the beginning, it wasn’t only Sei who was hiding his face from her. Even the body guard turned out to be Sei’s brother and now the butler turned out to be the grandfather? These men really liked to play dress-up games, didn’t they?! They sure fooled her!
That moment, some of the memories from the past suddenly appeared in Davi’s head and somehow, she felt like she wanted to disappear for a moment and scold herself. It was because she remembered ordering this king back then to water the plant in her garden and everything. Err... I actually dared treat this king as my servant back then... and he’s not just the king, he’s the grandfather of my husband...
These new revelations were somehow a bit too much for Davi to handle at the moment. She suddenly felt like she can’t face Sei’s grandpa for now because she also remembered herself telling him to go cut the grasses and even calling him ’stubborn gramps’. So, feeling like she needed some time to herself, and escape for a moment, she said, "Little Shin needs to get ready for bed now. I’ll go and get him settled. Please excuse me. I’ll be back later."
After the grandfather and Sei nodded at her, Davi then took Little Shin’s hand in hers and left to go upstairs to put little Shin to bed. Little Shin just looked back and waved his dad and great grandad goodnight.
Sei noticed her unusual behavior and thought correctly that she might just need time to process everything that has happened so far. He was also slightly relieved because now he could talk to his family about his future plans without Davi hearing about it. He didn’t want to spoil the surprise he had in store for her.
Thus, he led his grandfather to the lounge where everyone had been patiently waiting.
However, as Sei walked towards them, he immediately noticed Zaki who kept yawning as he sat there as if he was in a daze. With knotted brows, Sei walked straight towards him.
"Zaki... if you’re not feeling well, call Doct---"
"Sei... don’t mind me and just begin. Everyone is already yawning because you’re taking too long."
Zaki immediately cut Sei’s words as he nonchalantly waved his hand at him, causing to crease his brows even harder.
"What are you saying. You’re the only one here who’s yawning." Hinari suddenly interjected and somehow, Zaki again felt like he was betrayed by his fiancee. Hinari... this is the third time you kept choosing Sei’s side than mine...!
Forcing a smile, Zaki turned to her and instead of a flick on the forehead, he pinched Hinari’s cheek. Well the parents are watching so he can’t flick her.
"Haha. Hinari my dear, lying is not good." He said and Hinari was about to retort when the big boss finally spoke. You dare twisting the truth! Just you wait beauty!!! Just you wait!
"I want to organize a big wedding for Davi and I. I want her to have the perfect wedding that she should have had when she married me."
..
Davi, meanwhile, was getting little Shin ready for bed but her mind was elsewhere entirely. She went through the motions of bathing him, putting his pajamas on and tucking him into bed. It wasn’t until little Shin said "goodnight, mommy" that her focus returned to the real world.
"Goodnight, my little darling. Sweet dreams."
"Thank you, mommy, I will. I love you."
Hearing the sweet, innocent words from her son touched her heart deeply. She felt like crying because her heart was full of happiness right at this very moment. However, she managed to stop herself because she didn’t know how to stop it without Sei’s help. Instead, she forced the corner of her lips up which eventually ended up in carving a warm, happy smile on her face. A smile that little Shin would remember for a long time as it was the first time little Shin had ever seen his mom’s smile.
"I love you too, so very much," she said as she gently kissed his forehead after tucking the blanket around him.
When little Shin finally fell asleep, Davi stood and walked out of the room. She closed the door gently as she left his room and started down the stairs. When she saw the Chen family gathered in the sofa as if they were discussing something so exciting, she carefully and silently walked so she won’t disturb or distract them that she even unknowingly hid her presence.
They all look ecstatic except for one person, Zaki, who seemed to be at the verge of dozing off. Sei was standing in front of them so Davi can’t see his face. As she continued walking, Davi could now hear voices but she was still a bit far to be able to hear what they were saying.
However, the moment she reached the bottom step, she froze as certain words that reached her ears.
"That’s because we aren’t legally married anymore."
