Chapter 536 - His Absence (2/2)
”Control Rui!” he scolded himself. He must wait.
He tried to divert his attention to other things, tried watching a movie, reading his favorite books, but he ended up sighing a lot and wondering if he could already go back home.
But then, as a psychiatrist, he knew he still needed to prolong his absence.
”Ah, how come it's too hard!” he irritably grunted and walked to the refrigerator to get some beer.
While drinking, he could not help but feel excited about being with Cali once again, but this time he knew his hard work had been paid off.
”Thank you, Lord…” he unconsciously whispered a prayer of thanks. Selya also reported to him how Cali met Edward and how she told the man that she had him in her heart instead. It should be at least three days of him being gone, but Rui was somehow thinking to go back as early as tomorrow.
Meanwhile, back at Rui's home, it was almost dinner time and Cali ended up cursing Rui as she whispered, ”How dare he tell me to go to him and he will wait for me? How can I go to him when he did not tell even to these two people he left behind, where he is!”
Soon she heard knocking on her door and she almost jumped off her feet to open it, thinking it was Rui. Her face curved in great disappointment seeing it was Selya who smiled at her saying, ”ma'am dinner is ready. Do you prefer to eat inside the room?”
Cali sighed and said, ”Yeah, I will eat here please bring the food inside.”
She had no energy to go to the dining area and ate alone because she might again end up hallucinating Rui sitting in front of her and eating with her. She did not want to ask Selya or even her private doctor to eat with her because she would end up embarrassing herself if at some point she ended up crying without her knowing.
She looked at the huge bear on her bed and approached it instead. She pointed out her finger on it and mumbled, ”You! You! How could you leave me here like this alone, huh?! Seriously? After confessing to me and kissing me like that? You just left and even wrote a letter to make me feel more restless? How could you be so cruel to me?! Yes, I know I was wrong when I slapped you, but still, how could you leave like that?!”
She was too busy pouring out all her frustrations to her huge bear that she did not notice that her door opened.
”You know the bear can't talk back to you, right? How pitiful it looks when you are scolding him nonstop…” Cali heard Rui's voice from behind but she did not turn back because she knew she was once again only imagining things… Imagining his presence, like she was doing ever since he left, and she knew it was once again like that, Rui talking back to her…
She scoffed and mumbled, ”I will soon go crazy at this rate! Maybe I should just return home to grandpa and nanny Shine instead of staying here alone and waiting for that bastard jerk who can't even turn his mobile phone on!”
Then she suddenly felt warm arms encircling her waist, hugging her from behind.
”Why do you want to leave sweetheart when I'm already back here with you…” she heard him whisper in her ear with his warm breath that could only give her that tingling familiar sensation. It felt so real that she had to pinch herself to make sure she was not just hallucinating once again.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/his-absence_%!d(string=49882412489951498) for visiting.
