Ruka blamed herself for angering her mother so much. Claire held her in her embrace. Her heart ached
for Ruka, and she heaved a sigh. “I don’t want you ruining your life either.”
Charlotte had been taken into the emergency room when Ren came. Scarlet, her husband, Richard,
and Angela were waiting outside in the corridor. They looked worried as well. “Why did she faint all of a
sudden?” Ren asked Scarlet.
“I don’t know. The servant called for me all of sudden. She already fainted when I got to the tea room.”
Angela wanted to tell him what happened, but Richard held her back. The announcement of Ren’s
relationship with Ruka now would hit Scarlet like a bullet train.
The doctor finally came out of the emergency room. Charlotte had awakened, and she was lying on the
bed that was being wheeled out of the room.
When she saw Ren, the lady closed her eyes and sighed.

mother’s rest. Not long after she went inside, she came back out. “Mom wants you inside,” she told
Ren.
He nodded. The moment his mother looked at him, he knew he must be the reason why she fainted.
Ren went into the ward. Charlotte had sat up, and she was giving her son a look of complaint. He took
a seat. “How are you doing, Mom?”
“Fine, no thanks to you.” She turned her head away angrily.
Ren moved closer to the bed and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He pressed his cheek against
his mother’s hair, and he cooed, “I’m sorry, Mom. Please don’t stay mad at me. Tell me what
happened.”
Charlotte loved him the most ever since he was a kid. He could easily calm her when nobody else
could. His apology wiped out most of her anger, but still she shot him a glare. “You told me you have a
lady you like. It’s Ruka, isn’t it?”
Ren was surprised, but only for a moment. He nodded. “Yes, it is.”
“Why…” Charlotte felt her chest tightening up. “Are you trying to make everyone mad? Out of all the
women in this world, and you pick Ruka?”
Just like Ruka’s parents thought the fault lay with their daughter, Charlotte thought the fault lay with
Ren. She didn’t blame Ruka for this; she thought her son must have done something to make this
happen.
Ren caressed his mother’s back while calming her down. “It’s not what you think, Mom. We love each
other, Ruka and I.”
Charlotte let out another big sigh. “She’s your sister’s goddaughter. Can’t you at least stay away from
her?”
“But I thought you wanted me to marry someone.” Ren picked the exact conversation she would love to

“Yeah, but you can’t just…” No matter how she looked at it, Charlotte was still miffed. She had watched
over Ruka ever since she was a child, and she used to come over to play really often. Charlotte
thought of her as a granddaughter, so this came as a shock for her.
Not to mention she was very conservative and traditional. Of course it was hard to accept a girl whom
she thought of as a granddaughter marrying her son. She shook her head and looked away. It was a
silent protest.
Her son held her in his embrace and rested his chin on her shoulders. He went with the act like a child’
tactic. “I’m not gonna marry anyone but her. You refuse, and no grandkids for you.”
The last time he acted like a child was, well, back when he was a literal child asking for a candy. She
couldn’t believe her thirty-three year-old son would do the same thing again, but this time, he was
asking for a wife instead of a candy.
Charlotte couldn’t hold back anymore. She chuckled and turned back to thump her son. “You shouldn’t
threaten me, you know.”
