My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1179
According to Charlotte’s observation, Ren was inept around women, which probably explained why he had never brought home a girlfriend. Other men his age already had their own families, and he prompted his parents to wait until he finally settled down.
“Ren, could you pass the salad to Sophie? She can’t reach that far,” Charlotte reminded her son to be a little more proactive in these things.
Ren set his fork down and grabbed the bowl of salad. Then, he placed it in front of Sophie and said, “Here you go, Miss Liamson.”
Charlotte nearly rolled her eyes at him. He can at least spoon some salad onto her plate.
On the contrary, Sophie was admittedly disappointed. She had expected Ren to serve her a portion of the salad, but he gave her the entire bowl. He might have been chivalrous, but he was not romantic.
At that moment, Ren set his utensils down and said to his parents, “Excuse me, but I must return to work.”
“Perhaps you can give Sophie a ride. It’s always nice to have company, no matter how short the trip,” Charlotte piped up.
“I really appreciate it, Ren,” Sophie interjected before he could decline. He nodded. “Very well. Come with me. then.”
Sophie’s eyes instantly lit up. She was excited about being in the same car as him. It would be the perfect setting for them to get to know one another. She had planned everything because she intended to hold his hand and tell him plainly that she liked him. This was her moment to shine, and she would not let it slip through her fingers..
They strolled beneath the night sky to the car porch by the garden where four black limousines were parked. Elijah approached them and respectfully greeted Ren, “Mr. Husson.”
“Elijah, you mentioned earlier that you have something important to report?” Ren asked while he stared intently at his assistant.
Elijah initially frowned, but he soon comprehended and nodded as he said, “Yes, that’s right. It’s crucial, and I need to let you know right away, or it’ll become even more chaotic.”
“Okay, then. Let’s have this discussion in the car, shall we?” Ren then looked at Sophie and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Liamson, but it looks like you’ll have to take the other car.”
“I-I promise I won’t be a nuisance.” Sophie made a feeble effort to salvage her opportunity to ride in the same car with him.
“Miss Liamson, the business matters I’m about to discuss with Mr. Husson are strictly confidential. Please understand that you cannot be present for the purpose of confidentiality,’ Elijah said: solemnly.
Sophie faltered after hearing this. She nodded slowly and said quietly, “Alright, then. I’ll leave you two.”
One of the bodyguards opened the door of a separate car and let Sophie climb in. When the door clicked shut, she peered out the window and watched as Ren and Elijah got into the car in front of hers..
It was only after Ren was inside the car that he heaved a weary sigh. Elijah could not help but chuckle as he inquired. “Did Mrs. Husson give you a hard time, sir?”
Ren sighed and pinched the space between his brows. “I’m afraid this will be a recurring phenomenon until I bring at girlfriend home to meet them.”
“You could always pick a day and bring Miss Singed home,” Elijah suggested.
