Chapter 1240
It was 5:30 p.m. when Ruka pulled her phone out of her purse. She gasped at the moment and said, “I
should go.”
“I’ll leave you.” Ren offered.
“Okay. Elijah can do it,” she rejected him and shook her head. The thought that he would leave her at
home intimidated her.
He did not argue with her and instead reached out to caress her face, where a red mark from her nap
was still visible.
Ruka allowed him to caress his face as much as he wanted. She wrapped her arms around his waist
and stroked his chest in a bold motion. However, she was still dazed by sleep and wished for nothing
more than to sleep a little more in his arms.
He gently stroked her hair and muttered, “Scarlet will be home in two days. You and your parents
should stop by for family dinner.”
Ruka stiffened upon hearing this. His recent nightmare flashed before his eyes and sent a chill down
his spine. She hugged him tightly and confessed, “I’m a little worried.”
“Why? I’ll be there,” Ren assured her as he looked at her.
He didn’t dare to tell her about a nightmare he had in which he was lectured and scolded in front of
everyone because of him.
“Do I really have to?” he asked faintly, and looked at him in mute despair.
He nodded. “I hope to have you and your parents as my guests.”
Ruka sighed. It seems that some things are simply inevitable, he thought with resignation. Secretly, he
promised to take full blame for any mishap. Please don’t let Ren take the blame for me.
“Okay,” she promised.
After that, Elijah took her home and Ren returned to his own place for dinner.
