Chapter 459 - In Your Arms (1/2)
Cali knew she was being redundant about it already, but she still included it during her vows, ”My heart would never forget you and it would always be yours forever.”
She was crying hard and Rui cupped her face, gently caressing her cheeks and wiping her tears away.
”Cali Lua, no matter what comes our way, I will stand beside you always and never leave. Through thick and thin, for richer and for poorer, till death do us part… I love you dearly, sweetheart, more than you have ever known. Thank you for making me the happiest man alive in this world by marrying me.” Rui stutteringly voiced out while his eyes also flooded with tears like Cali.
The ceremony went so well, and everyone among the few selected guests saw how the couple lovingly exchanged their vows.
”Shine… My baby girl is now a grown-up lady and will soon have her own family. She's too nice… Why can't it just be me who takes all the suffering and not her?” Grandpa Lua pleaded.
”Be strong please for Cali. We should not show her we are broken. Let her see how we are handling everything strongly for her as her pillar,” Nanny Shine encouraged and comforted grandpa Lua.
Grandpa Lua understood her reasons and tried to control himself from shedding more tears.
”I pronounce you husband and wife.” The preacher finally said and Rui lovingly took his wife for a swift passionate kiss.
Shane, who was with Josh, hugged Cali tightly after the ceremony. She was already aware of Cali's situation and cried all night. That day, she only had smiles all over her face to show Cali how happy she was for her friend and blood sister.
”Congratulations sis. I'm really happy for you, sis.” She mumbled and gently caressed Cali's back. She really tried hard to control it, but the tears still fell from her eyes.
”Sis, I'm always here for you. Me and Josh will stay here at the Capital City and wait for you after your surgery, so please fight and be strong.” Shane muttered in a cracked voice.
Cali gently nuzzled her friend to look at her face and said with pouty lips, ”Stop crying then and once I recover… We will have a group date with our husbands.”
Shane nodded and wiped her tears.
Dion and Rizie who were also there came forward and congratulated the newly wed.
”Cali, you look so beautiful and congratulations.” Rizie muttered and hugged Cali.
Dion heaved a long sigh before greeting the newlywed. Cali's surgery was scheduled the next day. His sister Yera would fly from Plumeria to Yang Globals in a private helicopter tomorrow early morning to perform the surgery as the head surgeon with him as her assistant.
He was sympathizing with Rui, who looked so happy while thanking everyone who shared that special moment with him.
The couple and the guests directly went into a private restaurant reserved by Rui to share lunch together.
After eating lunch, Rui once again thanked everyone and bid farewell as well to take off first with Cali.
”We have limited time, but I want to take you to a nice place for a honeymoon.” Rui helplessly muttered while he took Cali in his house to rest and prepare for her operation the next day.
”There's no nicer place for me Rui than in your arms,” Cali bashfully murmured. Rui hugged her tightly, hoping he could stop the time at that moment.
