Chapter 382: I’m Bored
The formal engagement and family meeting went very well. Rui and Cali left the hotel together because Rui’s father deliberately instructed his son to take Cali with him in his car.
There was only silence as Rui’s car slid speedily on the road. It was already night, but Cali did not want to go back home yet. How she wished she could spend some time with Shane to have some drinks together, but it would not be wise to go to where Shane was staying.
She dialed some of her friends to hang out with. She had decided to now give Rui some space because she believed she had pestered him enough. She wondered though if it was effective.
"You can just drop me at the convenient store in the next stop, Rui. I will hang out with friends..." she casually said.
Rui was expressionless. He did not even bother to answer that made Cali uneasy. She was hurting, but she tried to compose herself. She asked for this anyway, so she must not complain now. Rui was honest with her from the start, and she was the one who had made the bargain.
She somehow thought that showing Rui her sincerity towards him and this engagement in the past few weeks... helped. But then she was probably so wrong. Rui liked her, but the feelings that she had for him were not probably mutual... Because she had more feelings towards him than just liking him.
How she hated using the word ’probably’ whenever she analyzed things between them.
"I thought you don’t want to meet your friends yet unless you grow your hair longer..." Rui suddenly spoke.
"You’ve been ignoring me lately, so I thought I should start mingling with my friends for a change. Shane had left for something important to attend to, so I’ll just have to hang out with my usual friends. I told you I’m too bored at home."
"But Cali, it’s already late!" she heard Rui grunted.
’What’s with this man? Now he suddenly cares?’ Cali mused with a twitched face.
