Chapter 504 - Clingy (1/2)

Cali enjoyed their amus.e.m.e.nt park tour for the whole day and Rui felt satisfied seeing her smile and laugh every now and then.

”Are you tired already? Do you want to go home?” Rui asked as soon as they were inside the car.

”I'm not tired yet,” Cali answered as she looked back to check on her huge teddy bear.

Rui chuckled and said, ”Did you think I forgot to put it in the car?”

Cali pouted her lips and murmured, ”Well, I was just checking since I like that teddy very much.”

”I know. Do you wanna try one of the world's greatest fine dining spots near here? The three Michelin stars one?” Rui asked. He already made a reservation because he knew that Cali would definitely enjoy it.

Cali's eyes rounded in excitement as she nodded continuously, but then she realized, ”But I hear we have to make advance reservations for it…”

Her shoulders dropped at the thought that it would be impossible to try that restaurant tonight.

”Oh, I already made one, you see. I thought it would be nice to bring you there to please you as you're often grumpy towards me…” Rui hummed like a child in his sullen voice.

Cali felt guilty suddenly and said, ”Sorry… If you just stop being so intense with taking care of me, we will both be good. You see, I've always been under strict protection at home, so I hoped I would get some air away from grandpa and nanny Shine. But you treat me the same. I know it's for my own good, but hello? I know my body and my limits, and of course I know my boundaries…”

Rui heaved a long, deep sigh. He was only against her being alone with Kane since he did not trust the man, but he was unable to explain that to his wife who could not remember him.

He remained quiet because he could not voice the fact that he was jealous over Kane. Maybe later, he would think of the best explanation for this situation.

Cali's mobile phone rang and his face became sour when he heard her mention the name Kane.

”Speaking of the devil…' he mused as his ears were too focussed at eavesdropping.

”Oh yeah, we're now headed to the restaurant. Wait, I'm not sure… I will ask him.” Rui heard Cali whisper before she turned at him and asked, ”Do you think it's possible for us to get one more chair? Kane would like to join us for dinner, please?”

”No!” Rui grunted, then he quickly added, ”You see, I only reserved two seats, Cali.”

Cali nodded, then got back to Kane and apologized. Rui was grinning triumphantly, but that grin turned into a grim expression when he heard Cali say, ”Don't worry, I will treat you tomorrow on the opening of school. We can have lunch and dinner together. I'll make it up to you…”

The two talked some more, and soon Rui released a sigh of relief when the call ended.

”That friend of yours is too clingy…” he could not help but comment.

Cali's eyebrows lifted up as she honestly mumbled, ”Aren't you more clingy than him?”
