Chapter 533 - The Same Kiss (1/2)

”Who do you think you are?!” Cali hissed, her eyes fuming with anger.

Rui's eyes darted at hers lovingly as he mused, 'Love me again. I'm your husband.'

But then he chose to say something different, maybe because the whisky was already showing its effect, so he was feeling more confident and playful.

”I'm the doctor who loves you,” Rui muttered in a low tone. He wanted to add that he was her husband who would always love her, but Cali might freak out hearing the truth.

”What?!” Cali burst in disbelief. Did she just hear his buzzing, whispering right? She had never met someone as shameless as him in her entire life. She could not enjoy and have fun with friends, forget any chances of having a boyfriend, because he was so strict like an old man.

And how dared he threatened her to lock their gate without telling her the code? Even though she was staying in his house because of her father's instructions, still how could he lock the freaking door every ten in the evening. 'Are we in a freaking martial law to have such absurd curfews imposed?'

”I mean, I'm your doctor, so it's my duty to love and care for you.” She heard Rui rephrase his words.

Her eyebrows furrowed as she barked, ”Yeah, so stop acting like you're my twenty-four seven bodyguard! Act just like a professional medical assistant, not my grandfather!”

Cali was fuming, but Rui kept his calm as he said, ”Sorry, but it's included in my work description. Again, you can check it with your grandpa. I'm your all-round man and if you have to complain about that then as your grandpa said… you have to return home with me and stay inside the corners of the Lua's residence whether you like it or not.”

Cali's face crumpled as she grunted, ”What's with the love, then? Is that also a part of your work description? Is my grandpa aware of it, huh? Are you two playing some kind of joke on me?”

For some reason, she felt her heart respond in a weird way, hearing the word 'love' from his mouth, in a way she had never felt before in her memory. But then, she always felt weird with Rui's presence in her life, though in a good way somehow.

”Loving you is not in my work description, but if you agree, I'm willing to offer that service for free to you, sweetheart.”

”So unbelievable! Are you crazy?” Cali burst into rage despite the fluttering she felt in her heart from another candid reply from him. She never could know whether he was serious or just having fun playing with words on her, and she hated it!

”Yeah, I'm crazy… Crazy for being in love with you…” Rui continued. There was no going back now, so he started confessing the feelings he longed to tell his wife ever since she opened her eyes after her surgery.

He stood up from his chair and walked towards Cali, who began to step back as he moved closer.

”Do you think this is a joke, huh?!” She scorned as she made another step back.
