Chapter 557 - You Deserve This (1/2)

Days passed by and it was finally the day of Cali's surprise for Rui. It was the weekend and Rui woke up early but he was surprised that Cali was no longer in bed.

He went out of the room and saw Cali with Yera preparing breakfast.

”Come and sit… The table is ready…” Cali said with a bright smile.

Soon Xander joined them. Yera looked at Rui and said, ”Would you mind if I borrow Cali from you this morning? I want to visit a friend and Xander does not want to accompany me.”

”Sure, Yera,” Rui answered with a smile though he suddenly felt confused as he looked at Xander suspiciously. Xander seemed occupied with eating and was not commenting at all.

'What's wrong with this clingy dude?' he mused because he was so used to Xander who often followed his wife like a leech and now he suddenly did not want to accompany her!

'Did they quarrel?' he worriedly thought. He looked and observed but it seemed that there was nothing to get worried about since Yera was smiling a lot.

After breakfast, Xander pulled Rui into the garden and said, ”Play chess with me for a while…”

”What's going on?” Rui asked as they settled on the chair and table outside.

”What do you mean?” Xander commented as he arranged the board on the table.

”You're the clingy husband and suddenly you don't want to accompany Yera?” he pondered.

Xander chuckled and said, ”She will kill me if I would insist on accompanying her. She told me that she wants to go out with Cali but she's shy to ask you directly so she used me as an alibi…”

”By the way, she forgot to return the rings…” Rui commented as their game started. Xander looked at Rui with snapped eyebrows as he beamed, ”Rings?!”

”My wedding rings. Mine and Cali's. She wanted to look at them saying that she admired the design and would pattern a similar design for your silver anniversary,” Rui said since Yera did not ask him to keep it from Xander.

”That's odd. I mean silver? That's twenty-five years from now and besides, I'm sure there will be many designs that are better by that time… Anyway, I'll just ask her later.” Xander added.

Rui was in deep thought. He smelled something fishy. Something was definitely going on and he just could not pinpoint what it exactly was, until Xander's mobile phone rang.

”It was Yera, she told me to bring you to the address she gave. She said your outfit is in the other room.” Xander relayed with a confused look.

Rui followed by Xander quickly checked the said outfit hanging in one of the guestrooms.

It was an all-white tuxedo.

Xander chuckled because there was a name tag saying it was Rui's

”Bro, are you getting married?” Xander commented but suddenly paused and turned to Rui who also met his stare.

”Are you thinking what I am thinking right now?” Xander whispered and Rui nodded.

”Bro, you're so slow, like a turtle! How come it's Cali again who planned a surprise wedding like this?!” Xander scolded. He couldn't believe that Cali advanced over Rui the second time around too.
