Chapter 534: A lot To Fix
Cali snapped out of that indulging moment and quickly pushed Rui away with all her strength. She was so frustrated with everything that happened that day; him leaving her for that Candice, then not letting her stay out for a movie, and even threatening her to come back home by saying that he’d snitch on her and tell everything to her grandfather.
And the moment he kissed her, the way she melted filled her with an unknown source of anger.
She did not know what came on her, but she raised her hand and slapped him hard on the face before she ran out to go inside her room.
She closed her door and helplessly leaned on the back of her door. She felt so weak that she slumped on the floor crying. She was upset, but she did not know why. She just couldn’t contain her emotions, it was all too overwhelming for her...
She tried to recall something, remember anything about her past that would add up and somehow help her make sense of what she was feeling because she wanted to know why it was all so familiar. She thought hard about that dream and tried as hard as she could to remember a face, or any other detail, but she ended up with just a severe headache.
She crawled towards her medicine cabinet to grab her pill and quickly took one before she laid on her bed, crouching as she tried to relax her head, recalling Rui’s words on how to ease her pain.
Cali hugged herself and curled into a ball to comfort herself... Trying her best to calm herself down. So many things just happened, and she felt like it was too much to be processed by her head, so she closed her eyes...
But even though she closed her eyes... she could hear Rui’s words echoing in her head. It was like hearing him repeatedly saying that he loved her, and her tears just kept flowing from her eyes like a waterfall. It was exhausting and troublesome and she soon fell asleep in that very state...
Meanwhile, Rui stood frozen at his post. He touched his face, the cheek that Cali slapped before she ran away.
