I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband - Chapter 522

Hinari felt her heart breaking as she hugged her husband. Zaki rarely showed his weakness like this. He always smiles and never acted this weak even during the times when he was suffering from physical pain.

He was a strong man and he was always giving Hinari hope and happiness every single day. But this time, her strong husband broke down in tears. She knew too, that he allowed himself this weakness to discourage her high hopes on him surviving through this. Knowing him, Hinari could already tell that her husband might be thinking that she deserved to love again and find someone else once he's gone. That would be the most probable reason on him not wanting to saddle her with their child – in his mind, that is.

Hinari could read him like a book – blindfolded. She knew he was just being damn selfless again like he always was. But she's not going to let him decide everything on his own, hell no! Even if she understood why he was doing this, she refused to accept this. There is no way she would ever be able to fall in love with another man other than him.

"I'm sorry… if I'm being selfish Zaki. I just want to be honest with you. No matter what happens, no matter what you say or do, I still want to bear your child." Hinari told him, causing Zaki to freeze in her embrace. "I want a mini Zaki too…" she added as she pulled away and look into his eyes.

"And you know I get what I want…" she added mischievously after a pause, causing Zaki to sweatdrop.

"Davi gave birth to Little Shin – alone – without Sei. So, don't worry. I, your wife, am a strong woman too." She assured him as she placed her hand on her chest. "I've been dreaming of cuddling our very own precious little bundle one day, Zaki." A tear that held all her emotions fell from her face as she said those heartfelt words. "And I am hoping that day would come sooner rather than later…"

Hinari was serious and desperate. She had always been dreaming about being a mother soon after their wedding and her desire to have a child only grew stronger by the day. Especially when Zaki started to feel pain and showing subtle negativities. She thought that if she got pregnant, she wouldn't be the only one who would push Zaki to continue on fighting. As they said, two is always better than one.

It wasn't because Zaki was now giving up. She knew he was still fighting hard for her, but with the addition of their very own baby, she was sure that Zaki would fight even harder.

Maybe, the baby would be the miracle they were waiting for. So Hinari was willing to do anything. She knew that Davi was doing her best, so she had to do her best too. Davi had told her that Zaki needed to be mentally strong at all times, especially during the times when he suffers excruciating pain that no amount of painkillers could stop. This was why Hinari was doing everything she could to help Zaki's mindset to stay healthy and positive. She knew that a man would drastically change once he becomes a father. Sei was one of her pieces of evidence.

She wanted a child and she was sure he wanted it too, so she was not going to give in this time.

"Don't worry my love…" she gently caressed his cheeks as she moved and nibbled his lips. "Everything will be fine," she whispered, and then she pinned him down and she kissed him passionately as she slowly melted into him.

That night, the couple spent their night in an even wilder and more passionate frenzy than compared to their wedding night.

…

The next morning, Zaki and Hinari were the last to arrive at the dining hall.

Sei decided that Kaide and Ryuo would also follow Zaki and his wife, which seemed to have made the men happier as they finally have a new task to focus on.

Once everyone was ready to leave, Sei and his son said goodbye to Zaki first. Sei patted the man's shoulder as he sternly told him to cooperate. Of course, not forgetting to ask him to sometimes check-in on his wife in case she overworked herself.

Seeing the worried look on Sei's face, Zaki decided not to start his teasing but instead, told him not to worry. Of course, Zaki told Sei to watch over his own wife as well especially since Hinari was going back to the Chen Villa to live with their adoptive parents while Zaki was away.

"Don't worry, I have appointed a good and trustworthy bodyguard to watch over her. And our parents would always be there for her." Sei assured him and finally, Sei walked towards his wife.

Sei embraced his wife tightly as he whispered all his reminders once again.

"Mm. I will not forget. I'll call you once we arrive, okay?" she told him before he kissed him.

Once their lips parted, everyone finally left.

Sei and little Shin, along with Kir and other bodyguards were the only ones left in the mansion. However, a while later, the father and son duo left as well. Sei dropped little Shin off at school before he headed to Red Empire headquarters.

…

Hours later at Central City…

Yu Chen and his men were separated from Davi's convoy, so they went straight to Yu Empire once they arrived in the city.

Davi would practically need the entire day to transfer everything to her new workplace, so Zaki was allowed to relax for the time being.

Zaki's spirit was a bit down because he had been separated from his wife so to lift up his mood, he insisted on coming tagging along with Yu Chen as the devil prince headed for in his company.

Yu Chen's face very blatantly told him that he isn't liking the idea of Zaki coming along one bit – mainly because he was such a nuisance. But before he could utter a response, the guy was comfortably seated in his car – totally acting as if it was a given in him following Yu Chen along. In conclusion, they could only take him with them.

Once they reached the CEO's office, as expected, Zaki started to bother Yu Chen – completely confirming Yu Chen's deductions that he will be a perfect nuisance.

"So? What happened to your first love? C'mon Chen, why don't you start talking about your problems? This big brother of yours is an expert when it comes to love, trust me." Zaki said, all the while wiggling his eyebrows.
