Chapter 229 Storm of Tricks Coming
Zaki who was leaning on the car’s window and lazily waiting for the couple straightened the moment he received a message that Sei’s grandfather, Mr. Mikazuki, was about to reach the Gray mansion.
"Ahh....what a bad timing. I wonder what he came here for." Zaki murmured to himself and after just some few minutes, a black car arrived finally arrived.
The old man with majestic aura stepped out of the car and Zaki immediately went and greeted him. The old man was wearing his butler disguise and he totally nailed it.
"Oh, young man. About to leave?" The old man asked and Zaki nodded.
"Yes sir." He replied when Mr. Mikazuki put his hand on his shoulder as he told Zaki to follow him.
The two then walked towards a bench behind a thick green bushes. They both sat before the old man began to talk.
"I’m not going to beat around the bush anymore Zaki, did you two already know something about the mysterious background Sei’s wife?" Mr. Mikazuki asked and Zaki’s eyes widened for a moment.
"I received an information that she lost her memory when she’s nine. So I asked Yuuki to investigate what happened to her but he found completely nothing, as if the girl did not exist in this world not until she turned nine. Now tell me, is this Sei’s doing? Did Sei blocked any information about her?" The old man continued and Zaki could only scratch the back of his neck before he replied him.
"Sir, are you getting suspicious of her?" Zaki said and the old man fell silent for a while.
"This is not about suspicion, this old man was just curious about anything concerning the mother of his future grandchildren." Mr. Mikazuki answered as he sighed when all of a sudden his voice was turned energized again.
"So? How’s my daughter in law? Is she already pregnant?" the lively old man asked and sweat drops just fell on Zaki’s forehead.
"Er... I don’t think that will happen anytime soon, as of now." He said and the liveliness on the old man’s face disappeared. His aura blazed as he glares coldly at Zaki.
"Explain what you mean by those words of yours." He ordered and Zaki could only sigh. Well, he knew that the old man will never leave him alone until he talks so he can’t even have any choice at all but answer him.
"Well, you know just how deep his love to her. He will never put her into danger and he will never want to hurt her. Actually, he already decided not to touch her until he could reveal himself to her. And that man, we both know that he will never take back his words. Things has been changing, I think he’s starting to lose control but I don’t think his will will waver anytime soon. What happened yesterday also scared him quite legally so I don’t think he will compromise. I think he’s even planning to leave her soon to settle everything first." Zaki honestly said and the old man’s face turned unbelievably gloomy.
"Until he could reveal himself to her? So he’s trying to clear his name first before giving me a grandchild?! Ridiculous! How long would that take to happen? A year or more? Is he going to wait for my death first?" Mr. Mikazuki’s voice gone wild, causing Zaki to only whack his brain and find a way to coax him.
"Er, please calm down sir. I know this frustrates you but, we both know how willful and stubborn Sei is. And he really loves her too much to the extent that she’s more important to him than his own life. He was ready to go through anything for her so I don’t think there’s nothing that could change his mind." Zaki said and the old man breathed deep multiple times.
"I understand his intention and just what kind of human being he is, however, I don’t think this is good. Especially that he is thinking to leave her. If I don’t do anything now, I might leave this world without even seeing my great grandchild." The old man replied with intense determination in his eyes and Zaki could only feel his sweat drops falling again.
"Er... what are you trying to do?" he hesitantly asked and the old man clenched his hands into determined fists.
"Leave this to me young man. This old man will do everything, if using underhanded tricks are needed, so be it." Mr. Mikazuki said with a serious but somewhat mischievous look and Zaki could only start imagining the troublesome and relentless storm of tricks coming towards Sei.
