Chapter 1259
Harold waved Richard over to his side.He had been a rather absent grandfather while Richard WAN
rowing up and they hardly saw each other outside of lamily events. The guilt built up over time, and
now that llarold was in his old age, he wanted to salvage his relationship with his grandson
Not long after, Scarlet beckoned Richard and Angela to the annex, then told one of the maids to bung
Ruka in as well.
“Richard, meet Ruka,” Scarlet introduced.
This was the first time Ruka was meeting Scarlet’s son, but there was a sense of familiarity that made
her feel at case. She flashed him a smile and said, “It’s nice to meet you, Richard.”
“The pleasure’s all mine,” Richard said, having already accepted her as part of the family.
Scarlet gestured at the lady next to Richard and said to Ruka, “And let me introduce you to his wife,

family stories,” Scarlet said, at once dismantling Ren’s vice president-mantel.
“Coming Ren was smiling as he walked over and stopped right next to Ruka. Her breath hitched at this
unexpected proximity, and she took an instinctive step to the side. However, she did not realize that
there was a heavy vase right next to her. She would have bumped into it had Ren not reached oui in
time to block the impact, and whien he looked at her, his gaze was incredibly tender and loving
No one else in the room caught this brief but intense moment, but Angela did. For a second, her heart
nearly dropped to her stomach, and her eyes widened by a fraction as she thought, Did I mmagine that
or did that really happen?!
