My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1199
“Miss Singed, Mrs. Lloyd, you’re all here! Lunch is starting soon over at the hall,” informed the maids.
Ruka and Angela exchanged glances and walked toward the hall, arm in arm. Meanwhile, Sophie was already sitting at the table, and Mrs. Husson had arranged for her to sit beside Ren. Although he had not come down yet, they were clearly seated together, so Sophie glanced at Ruka intentionally.
Ruka sat beside her parents, while Angela also sat beside Richard. He then looked at her with a meaningful gaze as her words today had also startled him.
“Why hasn’t Ren come down yet?” Mrs. Husson asked the maid. “Mr. Husson is in a call upstairs. He must be busy settling his work. He’ll come down soon.”
“This boy always has a busy schedule. It’s so difficult to even meet him,” Mrs. Husson complained to everyone at the table. While saying so, they could tell she was proud of her son.
Only Scarlet could respond to her mother. She smiled and replied, “If Ren isn’t doing well, you’d be anxious, but now that he’s doing well, you still nag about him.”
As soon as she said that, everyone laughed, but Mrs. Husson sighed and replied, “He’s good in everything besides his marriage!” After she finished speaking, she looked at Sophie again with joy in her eyes.
When she felt Mrs. Husson’s gaze on her, Sophie lowered her head shyly. After that, she turned to look at Ruka with a triumphant smirk.
Watching that scene, Ruka felt heartbroken.
At this moment, Ren’s tall and handsome figure stepped into the doorway. He glanced at the empty chair at the table, whereas Angela came up with a plan. She
quickly got up and said to Ren, “Uncle Ren, please sit here.”
After speaking, Angela got up and sat next to Sophie. She then linked her arms with Sophie and uttered intimately, “Miss Liamson, I like you so much! Let’s sit together!”
Sophie instantly stiffened. She could tell that Angela was deliberately separating her and Ren.
Watching them, Richard was also slightly puzzled. He knew what was going on in his wife’s mind. Therefore, Ren sat down beside Richard. He held up the teacup and looked at Ruka from the edge of his cup. The girl was seated diagonally opposite him.
Ruka raised her head and met his gaze. Then, she pursed her red lips nervously and lowered her head.
After Richard was reminded by Angela, he deliberately turned his gaze to his uncle and found that although he was drinking tea, he was actually looking at Ruka.
Men understood men best, so Richard instantly felt a tug at his heartstrings. Could Angela be right about them?
“Come on, let’s raise a toast together for our gathering today,” said Scarlet as she stood up.
Except for the two elders who did not stand up, everyone else got up and clinked each other’s glasses. The atmosphere instantly became cheerful.
After the first glass of wine, everyone started to dig in. Sophie could not help. but gently asked Ren, “Ren, I’d like to eat some fish. Can you get some for me?”
“You want some fish? Let me help you.” Angela was the most proactive one and quickly grabbed a piece for Sophie. The latter silently cursed her for ruining her chances.
Richard knew what his wife was getting at, and he smiled dryly. “Come, dig in, Angela,” Charlotte told Angela and even called out to Ruka. “And you too, Ruka. Look at you, all skin and bones. Eat.”
Ruka pursed her lips with a smile. “Of course, Grandma.” She felt Ren shooting her a conflicted look.
Sophie smiled. “You’re the youngest one in the family, huh, Ruka? Scarlet’s goddaughter, eh? I heard she likes you the most. Here, a toast for you.”
