"I thought at that time that the contracts and marriage certificates were obtained illegally anyway and that it brought some unpleasant memories so I burned it. There are also no records of our marriage in the civil registers so our... our marriage was effectively nullified."

Davi "..."

As Sei finished his statement, Davi’s mouth turned agape, looking at him. She only blinked and was speechless. H-huh? He burned it out of excitement? S-seriously?

Just as Davi was processing the things she heard, Sei, who was waiting for her to speak, reached his limit. He clenched his fists to stop them from shaking and his eyes held a hint of fear in them. He wondered what she was thinking. Would she forgive him? Was she going to get mad and get angry at him?

At that moment, he just looked as though the words ’how could I have been so stupid!? Someone send me a time machine so I can go back to that night and stop this from ever happening!’ were flashing across his eyes.

The next moment, Davi was still speechless when suddenly, without another word; Sei suddenly knelt on one knee in front of her, like a knight kneeling before his queen, causing Davi’s eyes to widen.

"I’m very sorry. I didn’t think things through properly." he said. His voice was filled with sincerity and regret and his eyes begged for her to forgive him. He looked like a drenched adorable puppy pleading for forgiveness.

"I... I’m... I’m willing to accept any punishment you give me... anything at all, as long as you forgive me... I..." Sei was stammering, as though he was being tortured by Davi’s silence. Even though he believes that his Davi won’t leave him and hate him because of this, he can’t help but feel devastated at the thought that she was being hurt by this.

Davi, on the other hand felt like Sei was attacking her nonstop. He just kept on dropping series of arrows one after another without stopping, causing her unable to choose which should she reacts to. He just confessed his reason, and before Davi could process what he said, he suddenly kneeled asking for forgiveness and before she could even utter a word, he asked her to punish him. Somehow, it seems like its Davi’s turn to be attacked by a virus called Sei and her response was being slowed down that the first thing she did was simply reached out her hands and placed them on both his cheeks, without any word.

She then stretched his cheeks as if she was trying to split his face into two, causing Sei to widen his eyes. Well, Davi was actually still in shock. She couldn’t believe that this Sei, the one who reigned over the world of business, would actually make this kind of mistake?

Davi was speechless. She didn’t know what to say so she just reacted by pinching his cheeks hard, as if she was just trying to just vent something through it.

At that point in time, Davi didn’t know if she was supposed to get angry or laugh. Sei’s reason was somehow ridiculously unbelievable but it wasn’t as bad as she thought. Truth be told, this made Davi felt like she was feeling so worried over nothing. She was glad that their marriage was nullified due to a silly mistake that wasn’t intentional. To Davi, knowing that Sei didn’t do this on purpose was enough for her to calm her troubled heart and understand everything. After all, her Sei was being so adorably cute right now. And it was just impossible for her not to forgive this man even if his reason will be much worse than this.

As Davi pinched his face playfully, her heart was being shot by multiple red fluffy arrows as she looked at Sei’s puppy eyes. She couldn’t help but imagine him in his cute chibi self and she suddenly had the urge to bully this adorable man while he was still in this state a little.

Thus, Davi the bully’s expression suddenly changed as she finally spoke.

"So... I can’t call you my husband anymore?" she asked, and as though a thunder struck him, Sei jolted and he hastily held Davi’s hand.

"I’m sorry. But don’t worry, I..." just as Sei was speaking, Davi’s phone vibrated, causing Sei to pause. Davi was also distracted and she looked at the phone ringing nonstop on the table. When the phone didn’t stop ringing, Sei let her hand go as a gesture to say that she could answer it, if she wanted to.

Thus, Davi stood, planning to turn off the phone. However, when Davi saw that it’s a call from her mother, she answered the phone quickly.

"Hello? Mother?"

"Dear, I called to remind you that you should arrive early today. Remember, you can’t be late."

As soon as Davi heard what her mother said, she gasped silently. Well, she actually totally forgot that she must travel to country J this morning. She had been meaning to tell Sei since yesterday but due to all the unforeseen events, she failed to tell him and she even forgot about it.

Face palming herself in her mind, Davi breathed deeply before she answered.

"Mm. Don’t worry mom, I’ll be there on time." She said and she finally ended the call.

Davi then quickly turned back to Sei. The man was looking at her with questions in his eyes.

Looking at him, Davi suddenly wrapped her hands around his neck as she leaned her body on his back.

"Darling, I’m sorry but there’s a very important matter I need to attend to and I must go now so that I don’t miss my flight." Davi said as she lovingly landed her face on his shoulder. She was obviously being sweet to Sei so that he would let her go.

"I have been meaning to tell you this since last night but too many things happened and I forgot about it. I can’t tell you what it is about right now because I wanted to surprise you but I assure you that it has nothing to do with the military so it’s very safe. In short, you don’t have to worry about my safety and that I will only be gone for one day and one night. I’ll be coming back home, here, immediately as soon as I’m done." She continued and Sei couldn’t even utter a word.

"I’m sorry. I know this is so sudden but please let me go, okay? I promise, nothing bad will happen to me and I won’t disappear." Davi didn’t stop trying to persuade Sei but when she saw that there seemed to be no sign of him agreeing, Davi was forced to resort to a more effective tactic.

Well, this trip was really, really important to her and she had been waiting for this for a long time now. She needed this to fulfill her plan, especially now that she can’t call herself Sei’s legal wife anymore. So she needed to do this as soon as possible. She must do this so that she can claim this man as hers, forever.

"Okay, how about we do this? I will forgive you for what you did but in exchange, you must let me go."

Sei: "...!"
