While Davi was still sobbing as she kept hugging Sei tightly, the man could only raise his hand and caress her back. He had no idea what he should do and what he should say to console her. And the reason was because he never did it to anyone before, thus, he could only copy the things that she did to him that made him felt better.
Gladly, what he did seemed working because his wife started calming down. So he just continued gently caressing her back. Until the girl finally stopped and she raised her face to look at him.
"I'm sorry." Sei said with a guilty look in his eyes causing Davi to shake her head.
"No. I should be the one saying that because I woke you up." She replied as she slightly smiled. Her eyes swelled a little bit and turned a bit reddish. And there are still traces of tears on her face so Sei lifted his hand and gently wiped them with his thumb without saying a word.
That moment, Davi just stared at him before she opened her mouth again.
"Uhm, Sei, I'm truly glad that I finally heard your story. I felt that the heavy feeling in my heart is finally lifted. It's because all this time, I thought you're keeping your secrets from me because you don't trust me at all." She continued and Sei could only feel so guilty again for making her dear wife felt that way for a long time.
"I'm sorry." He uttered softly with an extremely apologetic look in his eyes. However, Davi's reaction to his apology was hard for him to comprehend. It was because the girl suddenly chuckled sweetly despite her crying so hard just a moment ago and she even gently but playfully ruffled his hair, causing the man to went pretty confused. Well, he was completely unaware that his wife was just being charmed by his cuteness again. He is unaware that his adorable self was actually enough to ease whatever unpleasant emotions she's feeling.
The next second, Sei then tilted his head slightly as he looked at her with puzzled gaze. And once again, his apologetic expression and the puzzled look in his eyes just effortlessly made him look even more adorable in Davi's eyes that she couldn't help but just smile, despite all the dramatic situation they're currently into.
"Ahh… you're so cute." She said and she pinched both of his cheeks gently. Sei of course didn't get why she's suddenly calling him cute, but whatever, to him, there's no need to say anything more as long as she's fine and smiling again.
To him, nothing is more important than that.
"Ah! You still need to rest! Mr. Chen said you haven't been resting properly lately so you have to sleep early tonight." she continued the moment she remembered the words the body guard told her some times ago. However, as soon as she said those, Sei averted his gaze away from her for a while before he spoke.
"You don't need to worry, Its fine. And I think it'll take a while for me to fall asleep again." He said and Davi immediately felt that she has to take responsibility for interrupting his sleep. Thus, she then started brainstorming and luckily, a really great idea instantly popped in her head.
She remembered what that substitute butler told her before. That when Sei was young, he loves listening to the soft music of a piano and it was actually his lullaby.
Thinking about it, Davi decided to play a song for him. She wanted to make him fall asleep and rest, at the same time, she wanted to see if the music of a piano still soothes him like before. Thus, without any more delay, she then stood and faced Sei.
"Stay here, I'll be right back." She said and before she moved away, she gave the fluffy white teddy bear to him. Leaving Sei without any choice but quietly hold the bear in his arms as he obediently waits for his wife.
After a short while, she came back and she held Sei's hand before she pulled him and lead him towards their room. As soon as they entered, Davi made him sat on the edge of the bed and without a word, she turned her back and moved away. And as Sei's gaze just followed her, he instantly fell pretty stunned the moment he saw a mini grand piano just near the large window.
The next second, his wife was already sitting on the piano stool. And the very moment she started tapping the keys, Sei's heart just began to race. Until seconds went by and the more she played, the more Sei's heart fluttered. It was because the song she's playing was no doubt the same as that particular song from ten years ago.
