Chapter 444 - Cradle Snatcher

Xander looked at his wife, who was in deep slumber. Lovingly, he caressed her cheek and muttered, "Darling, I have to go now."

He sighed while he dwelled on her beauty for a few more minutes. Yera told him to wake her up before leaving. He chuckled, recalling how his wife tried hard to fight the urge to close her heavy eyelids just awhile ago. She did not want to sleep so she could send him off, at least to the outside of the mansion.

Xander did not wake her up and planted a gentle, sweet kiss on her lips before he quietly left the room.

It was already midnight. Although he wanted to stay longer but they could not risk it besides, there was still a lot more to do before the trial started.

He went down and saw Chad with Rui, Dion and his father in the living room area.

"Hey, why are you all here and not sleeping yet? Didn't we already say our goodbyes last night?" Xander spoke, looking at the three men with knitted brows.

"We will send you off on behalf of Yera." Rui answered with a grin because they were sure Yera would not be able to stay awake for that long.

He approached Xander and lovingly hugged him tight like a wife. 

"Make sure you take care of yourself and come to us alive, healthy, with all of the pieces on every part of your body still intact." Rui murmured in a plea.

"Hey, let go this feels awkward. Look at how they look at us. You're more clingy than my wife." Xander mumbled in embarrassment, but Rui tightened the hug intentionally, making Xander cringe and gasp for air.

"I can't breathe, you bastard!" Xander complained. Dion and Senior Yang together with Chad laughed, watching the two.

"Hold on, I'm lending you my spiritual force for you to succeed in your fight even though I'm not there." Rui said in a joke and Xander pushed him.

Rui laughed and said, "You go ahead now and don't worry about the company because it's doing so well."

Xander arched his brow and teased with a meaningful grin, "Why do I feel you're busy with something else?" 

Rui's face reddened while he beamed, "Aren't you going to be late? Go now, hurry."

Xander laughed at Rui, trying to avoid his teasing. He looked at Dion who gave him a nod and said, "Take care there. I will make sure sis is taken care of here, bro."

Then Xander looked at his father who also hugged him tightly and said, "Son, thank you for coming to my wedding. Remember, we should not say goodbyes… 'Till we meet again is the correct phrasing. Don't say we already said our goodbye but till we meet again…."

"I will remember dad. Geez, common, you all go back now and don't see me off to the car. You're making it feel like a sad parting. I have to go now." Xander said with a smile.

"Let's go?" Chad interrupted while he looked on his wristwatch. They had to go already since it's preferable to always travel in the dark when people were still sleeping.

��Where's Lana?" Xander asked, noticing Lana was not around.

"She will follow soon. She called me and said she will meet us at our territory tomorrow. Don't worry, she's fine. I think she has some personal issues to settle." Chad relayed since his men reported they saw Lana with a man she knew. Upon checking the man's identity, they found out it was Ryu's cousin, Chad, with that information, confirmed Lana's safety.

He and Xander would travel back to country V for now without Lana.

Xander heaved a long sigh and signaled Dion and his father to go back to their rooms with their wives.

He let Rui send them off outside the mansion where an armored car with a full tight security team was already waiting. 

"See you soon." Xander turned at Rui with a wink and Rui nodded.

Rui watched the cars leave and exhaled loudly, hoping Xander would soon finish his problems. He went back inside the mansion and smiled as he went upstairs to go to their room where Cali was already sleeping.

At first Cali was adamant to come because Kane was trying all his best in convincing Cali not to come. Rui shook his head, recalling how many times Kane acted to be in pain when his doctor clearly said everything was fine. His face twisted at the thought on how long that brat would try to continue on going in between him and Cali.

Kane just could not give up on trying to get Cali's attention towards him using his injured condition. Rui quickly brushed off Kane in his head since it would spoil the mood. He was here not only to attend the wedding but to spoil Cali on the beautiful island while he could.

Rui quietly entered the room and sat on the bedside while he gazed at Cali's beautiful face. She looked so cute during the celebration with her face blushing most of the time since she and him had become the center of teasing to everyone.

That moment, he felt the clock stopped where he stared at Cali's beautiful face with her sweet smiles to everyone. That moment, he realized he was ready to take Cali as his wife. He was ready to marry her because he could not see himself be with any other woman for a lifetime except for her.

However, he wanted more time for their relationship to build a strong foundation not for him but on Cali's side because he himself was sure it was Cali he wanted to be with forever. 

Cali was only twenty-one and Rui felt he was a cradle snatcher, snatching away Cali's youth. Cali had a lot of dreams she shared with him. She discovered her biggest dreams after the accident and she said he played a big part in it. She wanted to explore that new craft and become a famous Chef in the future.

He smiled and murmured, "I'm sure you will become the most gorgeous Chef in the world, not only a famous one sweetheart."

He would support her in every way and he would make sure that he would not become a hindrance for her to reach her dreams.
