I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband
Chapter 88: Soundly

By the time Davi opened her eyes, the sun was already streaming through the window. She was quite surprised since she's always been waking up earlier than the sun ever since Sei left.

However, what shocked her more was the heavy warm arm wrapped around her waist. Her senses instantly fully awakened and she was stunned.

She's always been the one ended up hugging him every time she wakes up. And he's always been the motionless log that never change his sleeping position the whole night. Yet at that moment, the whole thing seemed to be reversed.

For the first time, Sei was now the one embracing her and he was even facing towards her. And for the first time ever, she actually woke up earlier than him.

That moment, Davi couldn't help but froze. She could feel his slow breath, she could feel his warmth and the movement of his chest as he slowly breathes. Everything was just surreal for her that she thought she was dreaming. And the kind of emotion she's feeling was enough to almost knocked her senseless.

Thankfully, she still managed to remain calm. She could tell that Sei must have been so tired for him to still be sleeping at this point of time. And thinking about it caused Davi to never made a single move.

Sei was lying on his back while Davi was at his side with her head resting on top of his chest. Thus, a single move from her might wake him up instantly. She doesn't want to wake him up so she remained in her position. She didn't even raise her head. She doesn't have any idea what kind of work he's been doing that's why she wanted him to just rest like this.

At the same time, she was indescribably happy. Happy that Sei seemed to finally loosen up his impenetrable guard. She was happy to finally see him sleeping soundly. So happy that even his slow and manly breathing turned into cute music in her ears.

Him sleeping soundly like that just seemed as though he wasn't the cold frozen man who never smile anymore.

Until time passed and the man finally awakened. And as expected, he immediately froze the moment he realized he's still hugging her. He remained motionless until the girl talked softly.

"Are you awake?" she asked and he finally snapped. Davi was about to rise when he suddenly held her head and he gently buried her face back into his chest.

Davi gasped on what he did but she soon realized what he was trying to do. Thus, she immediately cooperated, obediently. That moment, Davi could hear the beating of his heart loud and clear, but, when she felt him removing his mask and then putting the other back, Davi suddenly felt a strange feeling as though her heart was just stung by something.

That moment, for the first time, Davi felt the afflictive frustration of being not allowed to see his face.
