Chapter 1319
‘What are you up to, Ruka? Are you free later? I‘ll take you to the movies:
Ruka tapped out her reply. ‘Sorry, Jethro, but I‘m busy.
Just then, her phone started ringing. It echoed a little in the expansive living room and she quickly
answered the call. “Hello”
“Ruka...” Jethro sounded drunk. “I want to see you...”
Ruka could tell that he was drunk. She frowned and asked, “Have you been drinking?”
“I just went through a breakup. I‘m so stupid. I shouldn‘t have trusted her. I thought she loved me, but
she... she broke up with me today.” Jethro‘s voice choked up.
“Don‘t be sad. You deserve someone better,” Ruka consoled.
“I‘m so dumb, Ruka. I only realized now that you like me. Do we still have a chance? I think I like you
too. We could try dating...” Jethro immediately started asking her out.
Ruka was stunned, and right at that moment, she felt someone staring at her. The piercing gaze in
Ren‘s eyes made her hairs stand on end.
“Uh! Jethro, I can‘t talk right now. I have something to do. You shouldn‘t like me either. I like someone
else. Bye!” Ruka quickly ended the call under the pressuring gaze of the man in front of her.
“A friend of mine,” she explained a little evasively.
“The boy you said you liked?” Ren had not forgotten about it. She did tell him that she liked Jethro
Ruka pressed her lips together and tried to explain, “Not someone I like, per se! I just... just felt a little
bit attracted to him, and also.... You didn‘t tell me you liked me either then!”
She wisely pushed all the responsibility to him. It was his fault for not telling her sooner that he liked
her! It was not her fault that she started liking someone else!
“If I recall correctly, you went to the movies with him, and you even got drunk because of him.” Ren
continued to probe her about her past as if she had been exceptionally close with other men before
this.
