Chapter 358 - Wife, what did you say? (1/2)

”Tuna boy, stand up there -- Doc, you as well.” Tito glanced at the other two confused people inside the room. Don't they sensed that Dragon's ambiguous words were the cue for them to give them some 'quality' time to talk things?

After all, Seraphina was asking for a favor and with the short days Tito spent with Dragon, he won't refuse but… he'll surely ask something in return which any one of them couldn't bear to witness -- just in case Seraphina was on the last thread of her patience and would snap. It's better to be safe than sorry if that happened.

Hearing Tito's words, Tuna sluggishly crawled like a gigantic hippo as his knees were rather weak at the moment from the shocked he receive just now. Mariel who was in his trance altered his gaze from Dragon's mischievous grin to Seraphina's unfazed reaction, then to Tito who's almost blocking the door even though he was on the side.

”Huh?”

”Get a hold of yourself, leave.” Tito repeated with a stern threatening tune that was akin to a loud slap for Mariel Min to get back on his senses.

”Y-- yes!” After abruptly bowing his head towards Seraphina who didn't even glance at him, before he scurried away; following Tito and Tuna.

When only Dragon and Seraphina were left in the room, Seraphina finally broke the silence. ”Yes…”

”Oh?” Dragon raised his brows. He didn't celebrate as of yet as he wouldn't fall for her trap. Knowing her, she'll rebut a nasty one which would crash his reverie in an instant, hence, instead of feeling jubilant, he would play along with her ploy.

Seraphina was about to continue her sentence but swallowed her words and only stared at Dragon with the same unaffected look on her eyes. None know, even Dragon what's going on with her conniving mind of hers which slightly, just slightly vigilant to what she'll about to do or say.

However, unlike Dragon's expectation, Seraphina didn't utter a word after her last remarks. Knitting his brows together with a slight frown, Dragon inquired, ”Yes? No continuation like 'yes, I took another step near my death or something?' hmm?”

Seraphina blinked and still, her front didn't give the slightest clue about her thoughts. Alas, on her subconscious mind, she laughed hearing the exact rebut she wanted to say earlier but chose not to speak about it. Surely, Dragon was immuned from her usual dialogues and could even predict what she was about to say. Thus, for a change, she might as well make fun of this tease just like he always does to her.

”Yes means yes. So, will your skilled specialist look after his daughter? Perhaps, find him a donor for a bone-marrow transplant while they're at it -- after all, you need to persuade my family if you wanted my hand, no?” Seraphina stated with a matter of factly tone as if it wasn't her marriage that she was talking about.
