Chapter 511: Déjà vu
Cali closed her eyes as she waited for Rui to join her at the living area. Lately, her thoughts were fully occupied with a lot of unnecessary things and she wanted to clear her mind. Rui’s proximity has been putting a very huge impact on her, and she was shocked by herself when she realised how she was anticipating a kiss from him.
She exasperated loudly trying to clear off her mind and then tried to relax herself and unconsciously dozed off.
Rui, on the other hand, quickly wrapped up the dining table and cleaned the kitchen to join Cali in the living area to watch television. He took a bit of extra time since he finished all the braised beef that Cali cooked.
His stomach was filled with food, but his heart felt fuller... his wife had fragments of memory intact, if not him she at least remembered his tastes, and his heart was now hopeful that she would soon remember him as well.
Soon he finished all the cleaning and walked to the living room and grinned, seeing Cali asleep like a soft baby on the sofa. Her innocent face was inviting him to hug her and kiss her. But...
"Look at her sleeping like a baby..." he softly whispered as he walked towards her.
"Cali..." he called out gently, so she could get up from there and comfortably shift to her room. But she seemed to be sleeping soundly, so Rui reached to her, wrapped his arms around her, gently carried her and walked to her room.
It was the first time after so many months he could finally take Cali in his arms and his heart raced with joy. He watched her beautiful face and suddenly wanted to hug her closer and not leave at all, but controlled himself again. That petite figure in his powerful arms was exceptionally beautiful and comfortably snuggled her head against his chest.
Cali was actually already awake when Rui called her name. She was only half asleep and didn’t want to move at all. She suddenly wanted to see what her private doctor would do if she fell asleep and didn’t wake up even on being called. Would he leave her on the couch or would he wake her up by calling a little more loudly?
She kept her eyes closed and as she waited for his response, she suddenly felt herself floating in his air and before she could change her strategy, she realised she was in his arms, being carefully hugged closely and carried to her room.
She was so close to him she could smell the fragrance coming from him, his manly scent. She snuggled a little closer on his chest, inhaling him with her every breath and feeling surprised how intoxicating this was. How she wished she could dig her face a little more in his chest and keep inhaling like this all the day long.
