<h4>Chapter 37: Dinner Party Pt. 1</h4>


    "Do I really look okay?" Sei asked nervously.


    "You look great, my dear." Mchi chuckled and gave her a small peck on the cheek.


    The couple had gone with a bit of a matching theme tonight, with Mchi wearing a ck dress shirt and pants with a ck and white sweater on top.


    His signature sunsses could not hide the love in his gaze as he stared at the woman before him.


    Sei on the other hand was a bit of a frazzled mess, wearing an elegant but simple ck, long sleeved dress that Mchi had bought for her.


    She wore a glittering pair of golden earrings and her supple lips were coated with a clear and fragrant lipgloss.


    Her entire outfit was actually bought by Mchi, leaving her to feel slightly guilty.


    He''d already done so much for her already, she couldn''t help but feel undeserving.


    Thanks to him or rather his influence, her restaurant was thriving more so than ever before.


    She''d been able to hire more staff to help out, and more often than not, her restaurant was always full.


    And now she was being invited to the house of one of the most powerful beings in the world.


    ''Seriously… just how much will you spoil me?'' She looked at him with a happy yet sad gaze.


    He consistently did so much for her, yet what could she do for him?


    Mal noticed the sad look on the face of the woman he cared about and quickly pulled her into his arms.


    "What''s the matter, did you change your mind about going?" He asked calmly.


    As always, she found herself unable to lie when he asked her a question with such genuine concern in his voice.


    Even without his blessing active, she would''ve told him the truth anyway.


    "It''s not that. I feel like… I do not deserve to be this happy." She snuggled deeper in his embrace, as she finally told him all of her worries and fears.


    "When you first asked me to be with you, I had resigned myself to be thrown away eventually, as I was certain that there was no way someone with a bright future like you would stay with an old woman like me."


    "Sei you.." Mchi began.


    "But the more time I spend with you, the more I hate the idea that we may have to part one day." She stared at the floor in shame.


    Mchi did not let her continue and pulled her in for a lingering kiss.


    The two stayed intertwined like that for a while before Sei broke their kiss by cing her hand on his chest.


    "What..was that for?"


    "You were being silly." Mchi lightly stroked Sei''s soft cheek as he gazed at her with tender eyes.


    ''Really.. how could I not notice she was worried about something like this?''


    He made a silent vow to pay more attention to things like this in the future.


    "I''m not going anywhere, now or in the future. Everything I do for you is because you deserve it and I know that you would do the same for me." Heforted.


    "But…"


    "Ow ow ow!"


    Mchi suddenly pulled and stretched Sei''s cheeks like they were made of y dough.


    "If I hear you speaking negatively about yourself again I''m going to get upset." He smirked.


    "Okay okay I''m showwy!" She apologized profusely in the hopes that Mchi would cease his assault on her face.


    Mchi released her face and the two stared into each other''s eyes for a long time.


    Sei felt strange inside.


    Mchi didn''t even say much but all of her worries seemed like they were slowly fading away.


    Everything she was so concerned with before seemed like such a fantasy.


    Mchi had never been a disloyal or traitorous person, so why did she expect that to change so suddenly?


    As if both had the same thought, they leaned in and shared another long kiss that erased the world around them.


    So much so that the two did not notice the presence of another individual who was staring at them quite intensely.


    Only when Mchi''s hands slipped farther down Sei''s waist did Luna make her presence known.


    "Guys, I don''t think you have time for that."


    "KYAAA!!"


    "What the hell!?"


    Immediately, the eyes of the couple widened and they nearly jumped out of their skin.


    Leaning leisurely against the wall was Luna, as sexy and seductive as ever.


    Contrary to her usual attire she was wearing dark jeans with sandals and a simple green sweater that hung off her shoulder.


    Her hair was tied up in a messy bun that gave her a youthful and carefree appearance.


    "Bossdy? How did you even get in here?!" Mchi asked.


    "Your sister and I ran into eachother downstairs and she gave me the code to the door." Luna said without much thought as she looked at the outfits of Sei and Mchi.


    "You two look great, but I think you should change." Luna said.


    Sei and Mchi looked at each other and then back at Luna and finally noticed her outfit.


    "I''m sure he just was so excited he forgot to mention it but Morgan has a very particr hobby." Luna said.


    ""What kind of hobby?"" The couple asked in unison.


    -


    In front of an extremelyrge mansion, a long ck limousine rolled to a stop.


    Morgan Creed''s home was the definition of exorbitant.


    When Mchi and Sei stepped out from the car, they could not close their mouths.


    Even though Mchi now had a billion dors in the bank, he was slowly remembering the feeling of being poor.


    Sei''s brain had nearly stopped workingpletely.


    She was certain that even if she worked ten lifetimes, she could only afford to buy the two statues at the front door.


    Luna got out of the car and took one look at their reactions before shoving them lightly.


    "Are the two of you really so awed by little things like this?" She asked.


    "T-there''s nothing little about this!"


    "This is insane!"


    Suddenly Mchi paused and sniffed the air and realized what Luna had told him was indeed true. "Holy hell you weren''t joking…"


    Sei seemed to notice it as well and her eyes took on a strange glimmer of excitement.


    "Aren''t you d you changed?" Luna teased.


    They both nodded furiously.


    Currently Mal was wearing simple ck jeans and a cored shirt while Sei was wearing a yellow sundress.


    "If you''ll follow me please." The driver led the group to the door where he promptly rang the doorbell and a choir could be heard.


    "This is really… too much money…" Mchi muttered and Sei nodded absentmindedly in agreement.


    Luna found Mal''s innocence to be quite cute and wondered what his reaction would be if she brought him to her house.


    ''W-why am I suddenly thinking about something so weird?'' Her cheeks turned a slight shade of red as she pushed her thoughts of showing him her bedroom out of her mind.


    Suddenly, therge wooden doors opened and standing there was a beautiful woman with waist length ck hair and vibrant green eyes.


    "You guys made it!" She had a bright and cheerful voice that matched her pristine white smile.


    "Indeed we did, Emilia." Luna politely smiled back.


    Even though she could be a bit cold to most people, the woman in front of her was simply far too likable.


    "Come in,e in!" She hurriedly stood aside and allowed entry to the group.


    "You must be the famous Mchi and Sei I''ve heard so much about!"


    The pair were slightly floored by how kind this woman was.


    Mchi was considered by many to be a pretty nice guy but this woman in front of him was like pure unfiltered joy.


    "I''m Emilia Creed, Morgan''s first wife and it''s so nice to meet you!" She introduced herself politely and stuck out her hands for a polite handshake from both.


    "It''s nice to meet you as well." Mchi smiled.


    "Yes, thank you for having us." Sei said.


    "Welle on let me show you to the backyard!"


    She then led the group through the house and the couple once again was stunned by all of the expensive things they saw.


    One of one paintings, diamond chandeliers, marble ceilings and more.


    Soon they were led to an enormous field of grass behind the house that resembled more of a farm than someone''s backyard.


    "Dear, they''re here!" Emilia waved.


    Standing over arge ck grill wearing an apron that said ''kiss the chef'' was one of the most powerful blessed in the world, Morgan Creed.


    He waved the group over and immediately sped Mchi on the shoulder. "You guys finally arrived! I hope you''ve brought your appetites."


    It was then that he gestured to the grill in front of him, allowing Mchi and Sei to get a good look at the hobby Luna had told them about.


    "I wasn''t sure exactly what you guys liked so I made a bit of everything." He scratched his cheek in embarrassment.


    Gorgeously roasted chicken, sulent ribs, and even a few grade A steaks were all present and looked to have been cooked to perfection.


    "Well are you guys ready to eat?"
