My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1176
Sophie had arrived at the Husson Residence in the early afternoon. She had spent half the day with Charlotte and Harold. Furthermore, she had impressed them by cleverly maneuvering her way through an intellectual conversation and displaying charming etiquette. It was safe to say that the elderly couple approved of her.
Ren smiled and said, “Nice to meet you, Sophie. Welcome to the Husson Residence.”
Sophie misinterpreted his smile as a sign that he had feelings for her. Although she had only seen him on television, he appeared even more handsome in person. In addition, his regal air made her swoon. Her heart began to pound.
She told herself to seize this opportunity and make a good impression. She could become the next lady of the house if she can pull this off. Furthermore, she could become the wife of the country’s future vice president! This could be the most crucial moment of her life, and she could not afford to let it slip through her fingers.
Then, Charlotte hastily excused herself and mumbled something about checking on the dishes in the kitchen. Her intention was to allow Ren and Sophie to spend time alone together. Consequently, they were left alone on the couch with only one another for company.
Sophie’s hands were nervously intertwined as her gaze flickered over to the man on the couch next to her. She could not hide her admiration for him and said. “I hope it’s not too forward of me to say this, but I’ve always looked up to you, Ren. I hope I’ll have the chance to learn from you and make up for my own shortcomings.”
“There’s no need for you to be so modest, Miss Liamson. You’re well-accomplished in your own right,” Ren replied congenially.
She was eager to impress him and continued, “I heard you have a piano in your study, and I was wondering if I could have the honor of playing you a song.”
He glanced at his watch. “I’m sorry, but maybe next time. There’s something I need to discuss with my dad right now.”
Then, Ren got up from the couch and walked out of the living room.
Sophie was dejected by his response. Even though he did not seem arrogant or cold, she could tell from how he looked at her that he was reserved. It appeared as though he did not mind conversing with her, but that was it. Ren had no intention of engaging in more profound or open hearted conversation.
It was precise because he was so inscrutable that one would hesitate to probe him further. However, that might have been what made him so appealing. He was a powerful man who cared about people. His charisma came from his leadership ability and belief in upholding what was inherently good. Unfortunately, his devotion to his political career was nowhere to be found in his pursuit of romance.
She clenched her fists. Her uncle had given her this opportunity to climb the social ladder, and she would be doing it a disservice if she gave up due to Ren’s initial apathy. Furthermore, she had at better chance than any other girls because Harold and Charlotte favored her.
Meanwhile, Ren went upstairs and noticed that his Dad was watching television. Harold relished his solitude while watching slice-of-life programs.
“Hey, Dad, Ren greeted him as he pushed the door open. He entered the room and sat across from him.
Harold looked at him expectantly and asked. “There you are, Ren. Have you met Miss Liamson?”
“Yes, I have.”
“What do you think?”
