As Ren took the glass of water from her, he replied, “It’s really nothing.” He didn’t want this girl to think
that he was some sort of old geezer. He was already older than her in the first place, so it bothered him
to hear her saying that he was in poor health.
Ruka looked at his face. Even if someone said he was in his late twenties, nobody would suspect it at
all. He really did look young. “Do you want to know what happened to me earlier?” Ren looked at her
with narrowed eyes.
“Yeah! Tell me.” Ruka listened to him with a serious expression.
“Your words made me so angry that my heart started hurting.” He pushed the blame onto her without
any hesitation. Ruka’s eyes widened slightly, and she pointed at herself. “Me?”
Ren nodded. “Yes, you.”
Ruka immediately recalled what she had said to him just now. Did he hurt himself from anger just
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbecause she had rejected him and said that there was no possibility for anything to happen between
them in this life?
“I’m sorry,” Ruka instantly apologized, her mind filled with guilt and remorse. She might have spoken a
little too harshly.
“I should be the one apologizing. It was because I didn’t respect you and didn’t tell you my feelings for
you in advance that I scared you,” Ren apologized to her instead.
Ruka raised her head, unable to look directly into his scorching eyes all of a sudden. She pursed her
red lips, then replied after a while, “Can we stop talking about this? I’m afraid I’ll say the wrong thing
and make you angry again.”
He blinked, his eyes locking onto her. “Then, when are you planning to talk to me so that you wouldn’t
make me angry?”
Ruka caught her breath slightly, realizing that this problem could not be avoided. If that was the case,
would he get angry regardless if she talked about it now or a year later?
“You should like someone else! When you find someone else you like, we wouldn’t have to talk about
this anymore,” she suggested.
Ren’s eyebrows furrowed. If he could like someone else, would he wait until now? His feelings weren’t
a matter as simple as shopping at the store. He couldn’t just like something else at the drop of a hat.
“Okay, let’s not talk about it today. We’ll save it for later.” Thinking that he still had work to deal with,
Ren got up and planned to go upstairs.
“Mr. Ren, is your body really okay?” Ruka asked worriedly behind him.
The man suddenly paused in the middle of straightening his suit gracefully and turned to stare at her,
correcting her words, “Don’t use honorifics when you talk to me in the future.”
Ruka was rendered speechless. Was there anything wrong with respecting him?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Got it.” She responded seriously.
“I still have to work, so you should go back to your room and rest.” After Ren finished speaking, he
immediately took off his suit jacket. Underneath, he was wearing an elegant three-piece suit that
consisted of trousers, a shirt, and a vest.
The suit made his body look slender, handsome, and strong, and it didn’t seem like he was in bad
health at all. When Ruka went back to the room, she wondered how Victoria would feel when she found
out that she was holding Elijah in the end.
After taking a bath, she lay on the bed. and skimmed through a book. Though its contents were
educational and important, she just couldn’t seem to learn anything as her mind was full of what
Victoria had said earlier. She was forced to wonder if the consequences were really that serious.
