Chapter 1226
Ruka took in the way the man‘s eyes glimmered in amusement and anticipation even though he was
outwardly threatening her. Is he hoping that I‘d forget about it by then so that he‘d have an excuse to
fool around?
Images of Ren doing those intense push–ups earlier flashed through her mind. She blushed, and her
heart thumped wildly in her chest. She found her head often filled with random, dirty thoughts of Ren
ever since they got together officially.
After breakfast, she received another call from her mother, pressing her to come home. Probably too
embarrassed that I‘m holed up at Ren‘s place, Ruka assumed with a coy smile. She couldn‘t imagine
how her parents might react if they ever found out about her relationship with Ren.
Then, she packed up the gift she received last night. When she glanced at the time, she couldn‘t help
lamenting over how quickly the day flew by. It was nearly 11.00AM, and she hated that she could not
spend more time alone with Ren. Why can‘t time just go by slower? When she saw the maid coming
over with a tea cup on a tray, she quickly offered, “Here. Allow me!”
The maid smiled and passed Ruka the tray. Thereafter, Ruka turned to head into the study where Ren
was.
She knocked on the door, and the man replied from the other side, “Come in.”
When she heard his gravelly voice, Ruka pushed the door open. Ren was going through documents,
and when he looked up to see that she had brought him tea, a small smile tugged on his lips. “You
must be thirsty! Have some tea,” she said as she set the tray down in front of him.
He put his documents aside and picked up the teacup, then took a ginger sip. Following that, he
stretched out an arm and pulled Ruka onto his lap. She nuzzled into his embrace and buried her head
in the crook of his shoulder, letting the comfortable silence wash over her.
“Can‘t bear to leave me, huh?” Ren teased, patting her shoulder gently.
No longer shy around him, Ruka nodded glumly and hummed in response.
“Just give me a text when you miss me, and I’ll be right over,” he promised quietly.
She straightened up and decided to leave him to his work. “Work hard. Don‘t let me distract you. I‘ll
have Elijah drop me off.”
“I can do that,” Ren insisted as he wanted to drop her home personally.
She quickly shook her head. “No, your fleet of cars draws far too much attention.”
