All my feelings for him over the years must have been in vain. Victoria’s tears streamed down her cheeks, and she buried her sorrow by covering her face. At that moment, she could not wait to cast a curse on Ruka so that she would vanish or leave this world. Then, Ren would never get the woman he loved and suffered as much as she did.
Ruka sat in a room heated by a radiator while reading a book. Since she had trouble sleeping the night before, the warmth caused her to feel drowsy. She had briefly sat before shifting to a prone position to read.
Her eyes fought to stay open as she dozed off gently on her arm, but she managed to steal a peek at the man who was reading the documents.
After Ren signed a document, he looked up and saw her sleeping on her stomach on the couch. He felt something tug at his heartstrings. This scene appears to be familiar. A similar sight happened many years ago.
While he worked on quiz questions at the desk, a young child who was tired from playing fell asleep on the couch while holding her book. Her cute little face was tender, and her long eyelashes were unbelievably attractive. The young child slept as peacefully and beautifully as Ruka did at the moment. One could not resist showering her with love and care.
Ren stood up and strode to the clothes rack, picked up one of his trench coats and walked to the couch. Then, he gently draped it over Ruka’s body. He could not help but-stoop and gently peck her on the forehead.
Elijah returned ten minutes later. When he opened the door, the man at the table motioned for him to keep quiet. He glanced over at the girl falling asleep on the couch before he left the room.
Ruka was sleeping soundly at the moment, which drove the man who read the document to lose his mind. His gaze returned to her face, and his mind began to waver.
The hours ticked by slowly until it was almost 5.00PM when Ren felt a vibration from his phone. When he looked down to check the caller ID, he picked up the phone and went outside to answer the call.
“Hey, Mom,” Ren answered gently. “Ren, can you come home tonight for dinner? I’m already missing you.”
“Sure. I’ll be back.” “OK. I’ll ask Janet to cook your favorite dishes,” Mrs. Husson exclaimed happily.
Ren pushed open the door to the lounge after he hung up the phone. All of a sudden, Ruka woke up. She blinked her sleepy eyes and asked the man who entered, “What time is it, Mr. Ren? Why did I doze off?”
As soon as she finished her sentence, she became aware of the slight dampness at the corner of her lips and quickly covered it in embarrassment. Did she drool while sleeping on her stomach just now?
Ren was used to her cute gestures and was not bothered by them. That was because Ruka had been like this since she was a child.
