Chapter 287 - Wifey, I hurt myself.

Seraphina went into full alert hearing Dragon's voice just behind the back seat. The thought about Liam earlier was thrown at the back of her mind as Seraphina peered at the rear mirror, alas, she saw no one behind.

Knitting her brows in confusion, Seraphina turned her head behind her to see an unfamiliar phone resting leisurely on the back seat. Even a first-grader could guess that her ride has been invaded and left the phone in it.

"Don't look at me like that, wife."

"What a creep -- do you know that?" Seraphina hissed in annoyance as she slightly shook her head and started her car's engine and without a second delay, she sped away with the phone on the back seat.

"I just missed you -- don't be mad." Dragon's majestic voice went through the other side of the phone. Surely, he was prepared and well-versed about Seraphina's temperament thus, the phone was automatically put on a speaker making sure that he could accompany her trip. He was certain that Seraphina will only throw the phone away when she found the strength and energy to bother herself.

Hearing no response from the other line, Dragon added with his languid yet enticing voice. "You don't respond to my messages anymore. Can you blame me?" pushing all the blame to Seraphina, Dragon did reach a new height of undiscovered shamelessness; probably due to Seraphina's influenced in the past.

Yet, Seraphina didn't bother herself from responding to him but also unwilling to use her energy to cut the call off. After all, she needed some distraction from Liam's action earlier. Moreover, she already proposed a truce with Dragon as she wanted to take down their enemy in the shadows before continuing her unfinished business with him.

"By the way, you almost killed Max -- it's funny tho, the younger Han is with you and the older brother sided with me. Just like the sworn brothers, Ezt and Leon." Dragon intrigued with interest. After a paused, he resumed,

"Baby, I must admit that we're indeed bad people -- breaking the strong relationship between brother."

"Oh please… what hypocrisy are you babbling? Strong relationship?" Seraphina snapped and complained while rolling her eyes. Alas, just as she uttered her rebuts, she soon realized that she fell from Dragon's trap.

He deliberately muttered nonsensical topics that will certainly irk her and made her respond. The moment Seraphina answered, she smiled in triumph on the other side of the line. Cl_i_c_k_i_n_g her tongue in annoyance, she clearly knew what the other person on the other end was thinking.

"Yes, we have a strong relationship."

Seraphina almost puked blood and step on the brake hearing another shameless remark. 'Strong relationship?! Yea, strong relationship of vengeance.' Seraphina sassed inwardly as she could feel her blood pressure gradually rose.

Probably, Dragon sensed it as well as he kept his silence for a while -- attempting to keep his overbearing persona in check. However, just as Seraphina got her peace, the man on the line started babbling again.

"Wifey, I hurt myself."

"Goddamn, you!" Seraphina cursed hearing a mundane complaint from Dragon. Apparently, her face distorted with an ugly shade as she subconsciously envisioned the domineering head of the Triad acting cute. Hence, her words left her mouth even before realizing it.

Dragon majestically chuckled in glee as if he acquired an honorable achievement. Though Seraphina kept in touch with him and they agreed to put everything on the truce --he knew that Seraphina will come after him after defeating the unknown rival hiding in the shadows.

Regardless, he wanted to take advantage of the situation and gather new sets of memories with Seraphina; despite knowing that it's all superficial and will come to an abrupt end.

"How disheartening… my love treats me so coldly." Hence, Dragon's teasing and babbling filled the entire small space of the car. It went on and on that Seraphina finally got used to it until she reached the free highway rode.

Pulling over to the side, Seraphina hastily sprawled her hand to where the smartphone lays. Not wasting a second, Seraphina rolled down the window on the front passenger seat and roughly threw the phone without a word. She then got back on her tracks by speeding away with relief that she finally got rid of the tattling man talking on the phone.

Thinking that there are some that probably tailed her tracks, Seraphina fiddled on the bag that was placed beside her and searched for her phone. It didn't take much time to find what she was searching as her small bag only carries the necessary things she needed in times of emergency.

Speed dialing X, the line went through even before the ring ended.

"Hi --"

"Check if someone is tailing me." Seraphina abruptly interrupted X's greetings as she uttered her concern then cut it off after she spat her words. It only took three good minutes for X to call and report her status.

"Eh, no one is tailing you. I've scanned all the CCTV's you passed by -- nothing seems wrong." he unenthusiastically responded. Though he didn't appreciate Seraphina's usual coldness, alas, she was always like that even in Luciano's disguise. Hence, he understood but can't help to feel a little upset by it.

"...alright. Thank you." Seraphina relaxed a little confirming that she can rest assured as she ended the call.

'What the hell is that man thinking?'

-----

Dragon stared at the phone as the disconnected line sound resonated from it. A subtle bitter smile formed on the corner of his lips as he lightly shook his head. "That's a long call," he mumbled as he expected that Seraphina would keep him talking for at least five minutes before deciding to abandon the phone. However, she kept him prattling for a good twenty minutes which is enough for him to be satisfied.

Placing the phone he used to the side table of the bed using the hand that was injected with an IV drip, he then leaned his back against the huge headboard of the enormous and grand bed.

"Arg…" By the looks of it, his pale and bandaged forehead depicted that he is indeed hurt from some accident. Also, the wounds and injuries hiding beneath his loose shirt made him a little uncomfortable. If only he didn't hear Seraphina's voice, his mood was probably fluctuating by now.
