Chapter 1222

Both Ruka and Ren went back to their rooms after the conversation. Ruka had been through a lot today, so she lay down and slept,

still feeling happy. However, that didn’t last since it wasn’t long before sadness crept in.

She was standing on the lawn outside the Husson Residence when she heard voices from the hall, which she couldn't hear clearly.

She moved closer in curiosity, and soon she could make them out. The elderly Mr. and Mrs. Husson was there, together with

Scarlet, Walter, and her parents. Still, she could also make out a kneeling figure on the floor, back straight and head bowed.

It was Ren.

“How can you fall for your sister's goddaughter? If you destroy your future because of her, | will disown you,” Mr. Husson scolded.

“Ren, Ruka’s your niece. You can’t be together,” said Scarlet.

“You are our family’s pride and joy. You can’t destroy our family honor,” cried Mrs. . Husson.

At this sight, she was so shocked she fell onto the floor, then covered her face in pain. She could see her parents approaching,

saying sternly, “Ruka, you cannot destroy his future. Leave him.”

“No, | don’t want to. | love Ren and want to be with him,” shouted Ruka. She could see Ren’s worried face as a sudden force pulled

her away.

“Ren—" She woke up suddenly, calling his name. After her eyes snapped open and she found herself drenched in cold sweat, then

she realized it was just a nightmare. She breathed harshly through her nose, with tears still lingering at the corners of her eyes. It

had all seemed so real.

She sighed. If dreams reflect people's inner thoughts, then her feelings for him weren't just affection. She was already in love with

him because losing him had felt so painful. Even the thought of it made her feel suffocated in despair.

The following morning, Ruka was still sleeping when a phone call woke her up. She felt around for it and answered dazedly, eyes

still closed, “Hello?”

“Ruka, your father and | are now at the airport. Can you cback in the afternoon to help us clean up the house?” The voice of

her mother chimed on the other end of the line.

She opened her eyes immediately, astonished. “Mom, are you back? Why didn’t you tellearlier?”

“We took our vacation one week earlier. Your father wants to give you a surprise, so we didn’t tell you.” Claire laughed. “What?
