Chapter 512 - More Beautiful (2/2)

Rui laughed, and Cali also chuckled…

”What's more beautiful? Sunrise or sunset?” Cali suddenly asked while still staring at the sun as darkness would soon replace it.

”You…” Rui quickly answered, staring intently at his wife. For him, nothing was more beautiful than his wife.

Turning her head towards Rui, Cali scoffed, ”Huh?!” Wondering if she heard him right. She was blushing without her knowing. Rui maintained eye contact with her and with a smile said, ”I said you're more beautiful…”

”Stop that…” Cali murmured as she felt her face turning hot. Rui chuckled as he added, ”But for me you're really more beautiful than the sunrise or sunset.”

”But I'm asking about the sun!” Cali came again, hiding her flushing. 'He's such a womanizer,” Cali mused as she controlled the erratic beating of her heart.

Rui heaved a long deep sigh and looked at the sun instead as he said, ”Sunrise and sunset are both beautiful. Whenever I see the sunrise, I'm grateful for another day I'm alive and am able to see you… I mean... to see and be with people I care for. Whenever I see the sunset, I'm grateful I survived the day… controlling myself...” Rui paused, then heaved a long deep frustrated sigh.

Every day he was controlling himself hard in telling Cali how much he loved her and that he was her husband.

”Huh, what controlling?” Cali was totally confused about what her doctor was blabbering about..

Rui had that roguish smile on his face when he said, ”Control on doing bad things to other people…”

Cali shook her head and muttered, ”For me, sunrise is more beautiful…”

”Would you like to share what happened at Kane's place and why we had to leave from there in a haste?” Rui asked, but before she could reply, their orders finally arrived.

”It's nothing… Let's just eat first.” Cali answered. She was starving already, so Cali focussed on her food instead.

In the middle of their dinner, Rui's mobile phone rang.

”Yes, Ruth…”

Cali's face soured, knowing it was Ruth who called Rui.

”Yeah, she's fine and we're already having dinner now. No. I don't think that's a good idea. Yes, please…. Yeah, I'm in the middle of the dinner. Alright, thanks.”

Then Rui ended the call.

”Ruth called?” Cali asked with a twitched mouth.

”Yeah, she's worried about you.”

”Yeah, right? Why not call me then? She also has my number.”

”Your phone can't be reached.”

Cali cursed because she forgot she turned off her mobile phone as soon as she was inside the car because she knew Kane would call her nonstop or send her messages of his apology and sorry.

Instead of showing her irritation, Cali just focussed on her dinner. But deep inside it annoyed her that Ruth and Rui were probably talking often on the phone.
