Chapter 527 - See My Heart (1/2)

Rui no longer asked Cali if she really would continue to pretend to be his girlfriend. He would only observe Cali's every movement and how she would interrupt Candice in seducing him.

His forehead creased when he saw Edward whispering something in Cali's ear. He hated this class in which the professor gave them designated seats and Cali was assigned to sit beside Edward.

'What are they talking about?' Rui irritably mused. He was itching to throw something on Edward's back to interrupt the two of them from whispering in each other's ears.

Rui noticed that Cali and Edward got along very well probably because they were of the same age, this bothered him a lot and he prayed for the class to end soon.

”Finally,” he whispered, hearing the professor end the class.

”Cali, let's go play bowling? You said it's been a while since you last played sports… Let's go to the mall near the university. I heard they had a great bowling center, we can enjoy or how about some funny gaming machines inside the mall's game zone!

Cali's eyes rounded in excitement as she replied, ”Yeah! I would love to. It's still early…”

”Wait… I will also come along, I have to accompany Cali.” Rui interrupted.

Edward's eyebrows raised and with a grin, he said, ”Why? Cali will be fine and she's with me. Goodness doc, can't you at least let her have some fun?

I'm sure staying at school, then at home, and following the same routine all over again, with the same person everyday is boring. Besides, aren't you two tired of seeing only each other always? Let Cali have some fun with me. And why am I even explaining to you?”

Rui's ears flapped in rage hearing those words from Edward who looked at Cali and instigated, ”Can't you at least decide for yourself, Cali? I mean, this is just a simple matter of going out to have fun with a friend? It's not like we are doing extreme things that can trigger your condition or anything such.”

Cali heaved a sigh because Edward had a point. Rui was overreacting and too overprotective.

She looked at Rui and said, ”I am going with Edward. You go home first and I will see you later at home.”

Then Cali turned towards Edward and said, ”Let's go.”

Rui stood rooted at his place, frozen like a statue, while his eyes followed Cali's back leaving with Edward. He wanted to grab Cali and pull her with him, but he knew he must not, he must give her space.

Edward pointed it out to Cali in such a way that he did not dare counter it. He did not want Cali to feel suffocated under his watch.

”Hello, Rui! You're still here? I thought you already left with Cali,” Ruth, who passed by him, commented.

”She went to the bowling center with Edward and they will also play the machine games.” Rui out of himself murmured.

”Wow! That sounds fun! I know that place! It's just near the university. Oh, those two… How dare they not bring us along! Come let's go there too and have some fun!” Ruth chortled and pulled Rui with her to head in the same direction as Cali and Edward.

Rui was so grateful for Ruth's presence that his face brightened. Now he had a good alibi for following Cali and Edward because of Ruth, who just saved him from bursting in rage. He let Ruth pull him to the bowling center.
