Chapter 1278
Richard knew what his wile was getting at, and he smiled dryly.
“Come dig in. Angela,” Charlotte told Angela and even called out to Ruka. “And you too, Ruka. Look at
you, all skin and bones. Eat.”
Ruka pursed her lips with a smile. “Of course, Grandma.”
She felt Ren shooting her a conflicted look.
Sophic smiled, “You’re the youngest one in the family, huh, Ruka? Scarlet’s goddaughter, ch?I heard
she likes you the most. Here, a toast for you.”
She was reminding Ruka that she was the youngest around for a reason. Sophie wanted to push her
down and keep her subservient.
“Thank you, Miss Liamson.” Ruka raised her glass half-heartedly and returned the toast.
“I envy Ruka. She has two moms and two dads. Harold, Charlotte, and uncle love her too.” Sophie
continued.
Ruka bit her fork. She was a little panicked. Honestly, she was so nervous, she didn’t even dare to
meet Ren’s gaze. She was worried Sophie might tell everyone about her relationship with him. She
didn’t want that dream to happen in real life. What if his family wells at him? What if he hurts them
because of us?
“Well, I mean, everyone’s different, Miss Liamson. For example, some people aren’t loved by their
family, unlike Ruka is. Don’t you think so?” Angela snapped.
Sophic shut up and laughed at hersell. “I guess so. I’m not as lucky as she is.”
Ruka stood up and announced, “I need to use the bathroom.”
