My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1189
Ruka shook her head. “We haven’t told anyone that we’re dating.”
“Well, what’s the hurry? I’m sure your parents would approve of him if you really like him,” Angela said soothingly. “I hope so too,” Ruka replied with a grin as her expectant gaze flickered over to the man by the window.
Just then, Angela peered through the window and saw a girl heading toward the annex from the car porch. “Who’s that?” she asked Ruka curiously.
Ruka finally took her eyes off Ren and followed Angela’s gaze. She saw a well dressed young lady standing just outside the window, then shook her head slightly as she said, “I’m not sure.”
The girl was none other than Sophie, of course. She had pulled on her Sunday best before rushing over to the Husson
Residence, all the while convincing herself that she must have done something right to be personally invited to the family banquet. If anything, Charlotte might have already accepted her as the future Mrs. Husson.
Presently, the maid led Sophie into the living room. At the sight of her, Charlotte beckoned her over immediately and introduced her to everyone.
Scarlet appraised Sophie, more than pleased to meet the woman who could soon marry Ren and become part of the family. The affirmation came from Charlotte, who had mentioned earlier that she and Harold were rather fond of the girl.
Sophie greeted the guests politely, but the one person she wanted to see the most was Ren. However, she couldn’t excuse herself now and look for him. The Husson Residence was on an estate that spanned one-fifth of a hectare, and hunting Ren down would take ages. As things were, she was stuck with making conversation with Charlotte and the other elders in the room.
Meanwhile, Ren and Richard entered the sun room together. They were delighted to see how well Ruka and Angela were getting along, as a family should.
“Richard, why don’t you and Angela join the others in the living room?” Ren suggested.
Nodding, Richard offered Angela his arm and said, “Come on, it’s about time I show off your charms to my grandparents.”
Angela smiled and turned to give Ruka a small wave, but that was when she caught the latter looking bashfully at Ren as though she was gazing at someone she loved. There was even a telltale blush on her cheeks.
Blinking, Angela quickly stole a glance at Ren. He was smiling ever so slightly, and his gaze was gentle when he met Ruka’s eyes. No, there’s something more in his gaze than just familial affection, Angela realized with shock.
She was sensitive by nature, and at that moment, she felt as if she had discovered something unbelievable.
With renewed urgency, she tightened her grip on Richard’s hand and began to drag him out of the sun room. He sensed that she was eager to leave, but he wasn’t sure why.
Wrapping an arm around her waist, he asked quietly, “What’s wrong?”
She shook her head vehemently, “Nothing.”
She was lying, and he could tell. The fact that she seemed to know something that he didn’t was frustrating. What is she being so secretive about?
“You go ahead. I need to use the washroom. See you in a bit!” Angela announced suddenly, then hurried over to the washroom. She was still trying to regain composure after witnessing that brief, groundbreaking moment in the sun room earlier.
