Suddenly, she realized that Ren’s face had become closer to hers. She was already sitting up against him, so now they were nearly face-to-face. She didn’t have a good feeling about the whole thing and was about to retreat, but he had already anticipated this. He placed a hand on the back of her head to prevent her from moving away and then tugged her face towards his.
He kissed her aggressively as if he was punishing her for repeatedly defending a man that wasn’t him. Her lashes fluttered against his cheeks as she panicked. They were in a moving car flanked by escort motorcycles. Couldn’t he be more tactful?
Ruka’s worries were unfounded since they had heavily tinted the car windows to protect the passengers’ privacy, so they were safe from prying eyes. Nevertheless, she could still see their surroundings from inside the car.
This made her nerves prickle with anxiety, and she tried pushing him away. But, alas, he continued kissing her so hard she felt herself beginning to sweat with how hot and bothered it was making her.
Oh God, she must be going crazy. He had been the one determined to keep their relationship under wraps, yet here he was, kissing her recklessly. Not to mention, his bodyguard was still in the driver’s seat.
Ruka pushed against him harder, and eventually, Ren took pity on her and released her. He leaned his forehead against hers, and his hot pants brushed against her face. “Do not fancy anyone other than me.”
She was still dazed from the kiss and responded affectionately, “Okay!”
When he heard her immediate agreement, he smiled in satisfaction and glanced at his watch. “I’ve spoiled your birthday celebration. I’ll make it up to you.”
It was the first time she had experienced such a grand exit, and she couldn’t help but feel respect for the man. His societal position was such that they probably wouldn’t have met if she hadn’t grown up in the Husson family. She glanced at the girls looking around by the street and knew that in a different life, she would be as distant to him as they were now.
Ruka became unhappy at that thought. Life was so strange sometimes. A large hand then rested against her cheek. She looked up at Ren, eyes damp with tears.
“What’s wrong?” Surprised by her sudden change in mood, Ren cupped her face with his hands tenderly. She shook her head in response because she couldn’t share her thoughts with him. Besides, she didn’t know why she had gotten so miserable either.
“I’m fine,” Ruka answered quietly. She wondered if Ren’s feelings for her were just a figment of her imagination and would disappear sooner or later.
At this point, she suddenly understood why he was so crazy about her-if he had to leave her for any reason, she would never fall for someone else ever again. Besides, no other man would ever steal her heart the way he had. Immediately, she grabbed his hand tightly, scared that everything was just a dream.
Ren felt confused by this because he could sense her sadness, yet he didn’t know why she felt that way. Did he do anything wrong? In the end, he could only pull her into a hug, allowing her to lean against him and rest.
After they arrived back at his house, he got out of the car first. Then, he used one hand to protect her head when she followed behind-an instinctive reaction borne out of his love for her. Soon, Elijah approached him and whispered, “Mr. Husson, everything is ready.”
Ren nodded. “Thank you for your hard work.”
