At this moment, it was as though she could still sense the man’s domineering breath, his tight embrace, and his strength as he tenderly stroked the back of her head with his large hand. The warmth of his fingertips and his intoxicating breath were still lingering in her mind, making her mouth feel dry.
She picked up a glass of water and hurriedly drank a few gulps from it. To her embarrassment, however, she found that just the thought of these things alone sent a tingling sensation throughout her body.
This is enough! How can I have feelings for him? I’ve loved Jethro secretly for three years. but that’s no match for the two days I spent with Ren and the two kisses he gave me? What is going on? This feels like disrespect for the three years I spent loving someone in secret! How could I be so unfaithful as to fall for another man as soon as I get disappointed in love?
Wake up. Ruka! In any case, I can’t have anything like that to do with Ren. Our identities alone won’t allow us to do that. I grew up by Scarlet’s side. She’s like an adoptive mother to me, so how could I get romantically entangled with her younger brother?
After patting her head, she picked up her bag and decided to go home. She strode out of the entrance and was just about to call Rita when she saw a black sedan parked beside the entrance.
She had a vague feeling that the car seemed to be Ren’s. Just as she was guessing, the back seat car window rolled down slightly. The passenger’s face couldn’t be seen clearly in the dim light, but Ruka could sense his silent and yet powerful presence. It was Ren indeed..
Just then, the bodyguard came forward and said to her, “Miss Singed, Mr. Husson would like you to get into the car.”
Ruka waved her hands. “Thanks, but it’s not necessary. I’ll hail a cab home myself.”
The bodyguard seemed to be in a tight spot. “In that case, Miss Singed, please get into the car and tell Mr. Husson about it.”
Ruka hurriedly directed her gaze toward the figure inside the car. Having no other choice, she took a deep breath and went over to the car window.
The man looked up; his face looked breathtakingly and stunningly handsome as the light shone on him. “Get in the car,” he said in a deep voice. Not daring to look him in the eye, Ruka lowered her head and replied, “I’m staying at my friend’s place.” The man frowned. “Your belongings have been sent to my place.”
Ruka looked up at him in surprise. “Huh? Why would my stuff be sent to your place?!”
Ren squinted at her. “Is it bad to stay at my place? Do you really have to trouble your friend?”
Obviously, it was even better to trouble the man than to trouble her friend. However, in her opinion, she’d rather sleep on the streets than trouble him. “My friend and I are really close. She’d welcome me to stay at her place,” she replied while pursing her lips..
“The matter’s decided. You’ll be staying at my place from now on,” the man said. With that, he opened the car door, stepped out of the car, and personally signaled her to get into the car with an inviting gesture,
