Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 326 The Promise

Davis sneered and just when he thought of jabbing at him more, he suddenly turned around and lifted up Evelynn in a princess carry.

"Let’s run..." He smiled at her and took off.

"Ahhh!" Evelynn was momentarily dismayed.

And then she heard something which left her feeling that Davis made the right choice.

"Come back here Davis! How dare you!!!!"

It was Claire’s shout, filled with utter embarrassment.

Davis reached the study, his room in a few seconds. Seeing that no one came after him, he let Evelynn down.

Fortunately, since they were the only ones present in the Throne Hall, it looks like they chose not to pursue since he only embarrassed them within the family.

Davis and Evelynn both looked at each other for a second but then...

"Pfftt... Hahaha!"

They suddenly laughed and continued to do so for a while but as soon as their laughs started to recede, Davis uttered, "Just when I thought of saying something to melt your heart, that stupid father of mine had to interfere..."

Evelynn also stopped laughing but her cheeks were still dyed red from the laughter, "What were you going to say?"

Davis shook his hands, "Ahh, leave it, leave it. Timing is important, and that old fart ruined it..."

"Hmm..." Evelynn nodded her head in response but put her head down.

Davis looked at her but then awkwardly moved his gaze away.

If one was to look at them and the scene, they would think that these two were just a newly married awkward couple.

Soon, seconds passed as the atmosphere really turned awkward for them to continue their conversation at this point.

Davis went nervous, his heart was beating fast as he thought, ’Should I do or should I not?’

Of course, he was thinking about kissing, not like some perverts who were readily waiting for them to make a child.

But then, he noticed something different from her.

He instantly thought back to her personality and realized it was totally different from her previous self.

Back then when he arrived, he noticed this difference as well. When he spotted her with Clara outside Ceru Restaurant, he saw that she wasn’t clearly herself, as if something was weighing on her mind.

But he thought that he might’ve been the reason for her to act like that because he still had not returned at that point.

But didn’t he come back now... If so...

’Why is she still acting like that?’ Davis couldn’t help but think, ’Shouldn’t this demoness be the one to seduce me? Where did her playfulness go?’

Davis had already lifted up his head and was looking at her, wondering what in heaven had happened to her.

Maybe the reason wasn’t him, something else differently? He couldn’t figure it out.

Sighing gently, he clasped her hands again. Those hands which he wanted to protect but failed. He couldn’t help but get emotional when he held it in his hands again.

This prompted Evelynn to look back at him again, but this time, tears were threatening to fall out of her eyes.

He held her hands and walked her to the bed. Sitting on the bed, he prompted her to do the same as well.

Instead of saying anything, he just put his hand on her head and caressed.

The tears that were threatening to spill out, fell like a dam that had been released. He gently used his other hand to wipe her tears that were sinking down her face.

"Wo... Won’t you ask me anything?" Evelynn asked as she trembled.

"I will, but if you start crying every time you see me, then I can’t, can I?" Davis said with a smile.

Evelynn chuckled as she sniffed. She wiped the remaining tears away with her sleeves.

She then suddenly hugged his neck and said, "Anyway, I am glad that you are safe!"

Davis was momentarily surprised but then replied, "Well, I’m glad that you’re safe too!"

Evelynn tightened her hold on him, making Davis not suffocate but nervous.

Because he could feel her ample breasts push heavily against his chest.

A moment later, she released her hold on him and looked at his face.

Davis then took her left hand and placed her other palm on his cheeks.

He felt the warmth in her hands, "I’m glad that you have your hand back..."

"All thanks to you..." Evelynn caressed his face.

Davis shook his head, "You cultivated on your own and fulfilled your promise. It’s now time to fulfill mine..."

Evelynn’s heart skipped a beat as she thought back to his words.

"I swear that I will definitely return to marry you one day!"

She thought back to the time when he suddenly annulled the marriage agreement he had with her family, even experiencing a taste of being abandoned for the first time in her life.

"I, Davis Loret, ask your hand in marriage!"

"Not bound by any lousy agreement, but bound by love!"

Evelynn instantly realized within her heart, ’Ah, why did I think that he would leave me behind? Why was I so stupid to think he would have changed in the years to come by...’

Her facial expressions trembled like she wanted to cry her heart out, but a relieved expression emerged on her face.

All of her worries disappeared in an instant as she moved closer to his face.

Her lips almost touching his, their eyes so close as they looked into each other’s soul, "You know, we can also not wait till marriage..."

Davis’s eyes widened but then he moved slightly and initiated the kiss, their lips savoring each other’s taste. Evelynn closed her eyes as she felt the familiar feeling washing over her body.

Their heartfelt connection only lasted for a few seconds before they parted.

Davis embraced her and made her lie sideways facing him on the bed.

Evelynn expected another passionate kiss, but seeing that it didn’t find her way, she opened her eyes.

"As I said, I owe you a promise, a marriage..."

Evelynn smiled as her lips quivered. Just when she was about to say something, he placed his finger on her lips, silencing her.

"It’s the perfect time to rest after a long journey, don’t you think so?"

Davis smiled as he tightly embraced her, deeply taking in her body warmth.

The feeling of wanting to conquer her that was with him for years disappeared when he saw that smile. All that remained was his feeling to protect her and treat her well.

He recognized that smile, it was like the smile he made when Claire saved him from loneliness. The motherly love she showed was enough to melt his heart.

If so, then this time...

"I love you..." Davis whispered into her ears.

"Hmm..." Evelynn let out a tear as she embraced him back. Their night was short as they fell asleep holding each other yet it was fluffy and filled with warmth.
