Chapter 1214
Ruka thought of talking to Ren since she was worried Elijah would be reprimanded when they got out
of the car.
“Ruka, if we can no longer go shopping, eat out, or watch movies together as normal people do, are
you still willing to date me?” Ren asked hoarsely, and his dark eyes were fixated on her intently.
She paused as she remembered the excuse she had used for rejecting him: he couldn’t go shopping,
enjoy meals outside or watch movies with her. So, he ignored his safety so that he could do all these
things with her? She felt guilty, worried, and most of all, highly emotional about it since he had risked
his life in order to be with her.
Wait, what did he say? Whether or not she was willing to date him if he could no longer do those things
with her? Did he want to date her?
Ruka pursed her lips. “If you want us to date, please look out for your safety. Don’t worry Elijah the way
you did today.”
“You seem to care a lot about what Elijah thinks. Do you fancy him?” Ren felt jealous of Elijah, and she
had brought him up way too many times today.
She had wanted to praise Elijah for being so competent in his work, but now she felt like she was just
making everything worse for him. Thus, she shook her head quickly. “Of course not. Please don’t
misread everything. I just don’t want you to reprimand him.”
“Why are you so worried about him?” Ren asked, feeling more and more jealous by the second.
“Well, he worked hard to ensure your safety today. He’s been accommodating and responsible.” Yet,
Ruka felt that she was making everything worse with her reasoning.
Suddenly, she realized that Ren’s face had become closer to hers. She was already sitting up against
him, so now they were nearly face–to–face. She didn’t have a good feeling about the whole thing and
was about to retreat, but he had already anticipated this. He placed a hand on the back of her head to
prevent her from moving away and then tugged her face towards his.
He kissed her aggressively as if he was punishing her for repeatedly defending a man that wasn’t him.
Her lashes fluttered against his cheeks as she panicked. They were in a moving car flanked by escort
motorcycles. Couldn’t he be more tactful?
