"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.
"Who said it is? I'm dead serious, Cali." Rui murmured with a serious face as he stepped forward. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/the-same-kiss_%!d(string=49882400947226665) for visiting.
It felt so good for him to open up his heart like this. He would deal with the consequences later whether it would be positive and negative. All he knew at that moment was to speak his mind or he would soon go crazy for keeping it in for too long.
"Do you think I'm that easy to get, huh?" Cali chided as she felt the wall behind her back. She was cornered with Rui's arms pressed on both sides to the wall, caging her petite body.
They were so close, she could smell his breath, tinged with alcohol.
'What is wrong with me?!' She hissed to herself because she felt her knees weaken as he brought his face close to hers, nuzzling his nose on her ears.
"No… I will not say any more words, but I'll show you how genuine my feelings are with my actions, sweetheart." He whispered in her ear. She suddenly shivered as his breaths tickled in her ear.
Still, she maintained her rationality as she raised her eyebrows and smirked before scoffing, "Actions, huh? And for goodness' sake, stop calling me sweetheart because I'm not!"
She was starting to get bothered by it now, ever since she dreamt of that intimate moment with that faceless man with the same voice as Rui. She could feel her body grow tense whenever Rui called her sweetheart.
"But you are my sweetheart." she heard him reply. She was even startled when he grabbed her hand and put it on his chest. He was looking intently at her as she felt his gaze pierce through her deepest core.
"Can you feel how my heartbeat is in chaos because of you?"
Cali tried to retract her hand, but he held it tightly, pulling her close to him. His other arm now encircled her waist.
"I love you Cali, and I will always love you, sweetheart. You can't escape from me because I'm the only man for you. I know deep in your heart you can feel it too. I will not stop courting you every day, and no matter how hard you try to drive me away… I will always come back to you and show you how much you mean to me."
Before she could respond to his sudden confession, Cali felt his soft lips brushing against hers. She froze. Rui just confessed to her, and she did not know what to do. She had mixed emotions inside her heart.
But the kiss she was giving her at that moment...
'Why don't I feel his kiss filthy? Instead, the kiss feels very familiar! Like it's a kiss that I've been longing for all my life?' Cali confusedly thought as her body moved involuntarily, encircling her arms on his neck as she answered his kisses with equal passion.
It was the same kiss with that man in her dream, so much the same feeling and intensity like Rui was exactly that man whom she had an intimate moment with in her dream.
