Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 328 Realizing His Own Feelings

"So in summary, she gifted the spatial rings to us, took care of Clara during the Immortal Trial, completed the King Grade Trial, and at the same time declared that she will marry only me?"
Davis had his hands on his chin, and even more confused expression appeared on his face, "I can understand the former part, but for the latter, you're kidding right?"
Evelynn shook her head, "The latter part is true. I just heard it from Clara a few minutes before I saw you... That's why I was afraid... afraid that you might abandon me..."
"I would never!!!" Davis shouted back at her.
Looking at Evelynn's stunned expression, he felt instantly felt embarrassed and forcefully added, "Of course, if you betrayed me for another man, I would rather kill you!"
Saying so, he avoided her stunned gaze, "It goes both ways..."
Evelynn suddenly smiled as she laughed like she heard nothing serious.
"Hmm? You're not angry?" Davis carefully asked, not understanding why she laughed.
After he said that about killing her, he instantly started to regret it. Would she hate him now? He felt anxious.
Evelynn stopped laughing but her smile was still there, "What's there to be angry about stating the obvious?"
Davis's brain stopped working for a moment.
Obvious? Was it obvious?
'Oh, yes this is a world ruled by strength, killing for betrayal is prevalent...' Davis belatedly realized.
He was too worried to notice this obvious fact.
"Isn't it? I've heard plenty of woman being killed because they had illicit relationships, is it not true?" Evelynn asked with a curious expression on her face.
"Ahh... leave it." Davis brushed off this topic. He wasn't interested in discussing this in detail.
Instead, he said, "I just wanted you to know that I'm incredibly selfish, and what's mine is mine, you get it?"
"I am not a saint, and I'll probably go to any lengths to obtain something I need, will you still marry me?"
But he didn't let her answer, "No, you're too far into this, I won't let you leave even if you want out!"
Saying so he disappeared from the room, leaving a stunned Evelynn looking around for him frantically.
After a minute, seeing that he wasn't here anymore, she whispered to herself, "So possessive..."
But the smile on her lips said that she didn't dislike this feeling one bit.
======
Davis appeared somewhere in the skies above the Royal Castle. In a fit of embarrassment and confusion, he hurriedly left her side and arrived here.
Breathing the fresh air filled with heaven and earth energy, he finally calmed down and felt that he did something stupid.
He felt like a child throwing a tantrum, like a child who was going to have its toy taken away.
"Fuck! I should have kept my mouth shut!" Davis cursed himself.
He couldn't help but directed his anger at the source, "Shirley this! Shirley that! Damn it!"
"What is her problem?! I just kissed her for treatment! Treatment! Ever heard of CPR, you damn imbeciles!" Davis shouted in the air, yet no one heard him because he was high above.
He knew he was shouting to himself, but it was just that, he didn't understand why Shirley would be so fixated on him.
But on second thought, as he calmed down, he felt that he could understand her if he were to think from her perspective.
Maybe because she only sought a single man in her life to be her partner, and his kiss had inadvertently forced her to not look at another man in a romantic way.
He sighed, thinking that he made the wrong choice at that moment of treatment.
A kiss was a kiss and there was no changing that fact whether if it was used for a treatment or not. Things simply couldn't be seen in a medical way in this cultivation world.
If someone asked whether if he held affection for Shirley or not, he would say that he did not but he did have complicated feelings in his heart.
It was impossible for him to not hold any kind of feelings for that beautiful woman.
Sure, it was because of Evelynn that he didn't dare to hold feelings for her.
He wasn't particularly concerned about being monogamous in a sense but only felt that it would be better that way.
The moment he had confirmed his fondness for Evelynn, he had even annulled the marriage between him and Shirley at the Grand Sea Continent Meet because the former seemed ill at ease to be in a lower status than another woman while the latter felt that being married to a person who had two more love rivals wasn't worth it.
If Evelynn didn't exist or their fondness for each other hadn't sprouted, then one way or another, he felt that he would've ended up with Shirley.
Likely, Shirley also thought that way and that maybe was the cause for her obsessive behavior.
But that was a case of 'what if?' and there's no 'what if?' in this world or any world to say.
He chose Evelynn and that's irrevocable.
Somehow, other than being in love with Evelynn, a new type of emotion had surfaced in his heart. Thinking about it, he realized it as possessiveness.
'Well well, is this the feeling where all husbands and boyfriends feel like when they're being ntr'ed?' Feeling that he became insecure, he mocked himself.
The moment he saw that Evelynn wasn't feeling well for some reason, looking at him as if she was guilty of something, he didn't feel good either. Stabbing pain filled his heart, waiting to tear him apart.
Except the reality was, the worst-case scenario he expected really didn't happen to him as he realized what she felt guilty about was the fact that she hid about Shirley, afraid that he would abandon her.
Ironically, he realized that they both had the same worries, except from a different perspective.
Looking down at the magnificent Royal Castle, he sighed.
He sensed his father in the Throne Hall, discussing with a few subjects while having a worried expression on his face.
Feeling curious, he moved.
*Whoosh!~*
In a few seconds, he appeared outside the Throne Hall and entered the huge open door.
