Chapter 1383
Ruka chuckled. “Well, you‘re injured. If it hadn‘t been for that, I would‘ve already wrapped myself up as
a gift and presented myself to you.”
Ren was a little disgruntled to see how smug she was. He was going to make her pay once he was
fully recovered.
As expected, Ruka received a call from Scarlet that afternoon. Scarlet was ecstatic as she asked
whether Ruka was pregnant. What could Ruka say? She could only admit it.
Next, she got a call from Claire who was also thrilled. Claire peppered her with questions about when
she was going to the hospital to check on the baby. It was clear that Claire was very invested in the
pregnancy.
Ruka was getting jitters too. She had to hurry up and turn the lie into reality, or it would be hard for her
to deal with her family members” care and concern.
After ending the call, Ruka sighed and heard someone chuckling behind her. “Now you‘re anxious!”
She turned to look at him and huffed, “How can you be laughing about it? Hurry up and think of a plan!”
His eyes gleamed and his voice was dripping with seduction.
“The only solution is to have a go at it tonight.”
Ruka blushed. “We can‘t. It‘s more important that you recover properly. I refuse.”
“Trust me, Ruka. I‘ll be fine.” Ren was determined to help her make the lie a reality in spite of his injury.
After all, time was of the essence.
Ruka slapped herself. “I dragged you into this mess with me. I shouldn‘t have lied.”
Ren pulled her into his arms. “You did nothing wrong. My father‘s not angry anymore and he gave us
his blessing. I‘m very happy.”
Ruka closed her eyes and returned the hug. “Alright. Just focus on your recovery for another week. I‘ll
let you have your way after that.”
Ren bent down and kissed her hair. He could scarcely wait a day.
However, he did not want her to worry, so he could only reply hoarsely, “Fine. I‘ll wait another week.”
“Pinky promise! You have to keep your word, alright?” Ruka was afraid that he would mess around
again. If his wound split one more time, it would surely get infected.
“Do I get a prize if I manage to do it?”
“If you do as you say, I‘ll grant you one wish, as long as it is something I can do.”
He smirked. “It‘s a deal.”
Ruka buried her face against his chest. She felt embarrassed!
For the next few days, Ren focused on his recovery. Silas came over every day to check on his
progress. It had been two weeks since the injury, and had it not been for the wound splitting twice
before this, it would have already healed by now..
