Chapter 1381
“What‘s wrong? Are you feeling unwell, Ruka?” Charlotte exclaimed in shock.
Ren cast a worried look at her too. Did she get a cold from keeping the air–conditioning on at a low
temperature last night?
Harold was staring in concern as well. Ruka exhaled in relief and shook her head shyly. “No, I‘m fine.
I‘ve just been getting the urge to vomit for the past two days.”
When Charlotte heard this, the wheels in her head started spinning and she cried out excitedly, “Could
it be that you‘re pregnant?”
Harold‘s eyes lit up as well. Was he going to have a grandchild so soon?
Ren secretly sighed in relief, and at the same time, his lips curved into a smile. Ruka‘s acting was
pretty good.
Ruka threw caution to the wind and chose to do whatever it took to make Harold happy. She did not
want Harold to continue feeling upset with Ren over this, so the news of a grandchild would surely get
rid of all his anger.
She quickly placed her hand on her belly and said in amazement, “I think so, judging by the timing.”
Charlotte was overjoyed. She turned to Harold and said, “Look! Ruka‘s pregnant. We‘ll have a
grandchild before the year ends.”
Harold‘s stern expression had made way for a smile too. “It‘s all thanks to Ruka, though it‘ll be hard on
her.”
“I don‘t mind. I want to have a child with Ren as soon as possible too.” Ruka shook her head and
looked at Ren. She winked at him in secret to warn him not to expose her.
“Come, come. Let‘s not stand around. Take a seat! We must let Scarlet and the others know about
this.” Charlotte was jumping out of her seat to inform the others of the glorious news.
Ruka sat down beside Ren. She felt a pair of eyes staring pointedly at her. Her cheeks felt a little hot,
but perhaps it was because of her lie.
The old couple left after having lunch, but just before they headed off, Harold turned to Ren and said,
“Make sure you treat Ruka well.”
It was a sign that he was no longer upset about their relationship. Ren nodded and promised, “I
will.”
“Ren, since Ruka is pregnant, you need to watch out, okay?” Charlotte hinted that Ren would need to
exercise more self–control over the next few months.
Ren‘s cheeks turned a little pink. He nodded uncomfortably and said, “I know, Mom. Go ahead and get
in the car!” After seeing the car pull out of the driveway, Ruka finally sighed in relief and patted her
chest. “Thank goodness they didn‘t see through me.”
However, Ren tousled her hair before flicking her on the forehead. “Ruka, is this something you should
be lying about?” he chided, though his voice was full of affection.
