Ruka looked up and saw the man’s eyes, which were so fathomless as though they were going to devour everything like a black hole. ‘I’ll move out tomorrow,” she said with integrity. Since he’d be so greatly affected if she stayed at his place, she might as well leave.
“You’re not allowed to leave,” the man ordered overbearingly. Everyone had a line that couldn’t be crossed, including Ruka. Moreover, she was a living person, so she’d also lose her temper upon being ordered around like this.
“What do you want me to do, then? If you really crave for women, there are lots of women who are willing to serve you. I think Miss Parfait will be more than happy to do that,” she replied in annoyance, though she didn’t know what had given her the courage to say this to him.
Ren took a step back. With his arms folded, he looked her up and down with at dangerous squint. “Do you think I’m such a casual man?”
“Why me, then?” Ruka couldn’t wrap her head around it. She went abroad at 16 years old and hadn’t come back for nearly 5 years since then. Since when did Ren fall in love with her?
Ren also wanted to ask himself the same question. Why her, of all people? But he’d been unable to find the answer to the question. After letting out a sigh, he replied in a husky voice, “Don’t worry, I won’t force you to do anything. Just stay here with peace of mind.”
With that, he was about to leave.
Ruka couldn’t help but say to him from behind, “Miss Parfait really likes you, so you can try to accept her.”
Ren froze before looking sideways slightly. “What about you?”
Ruka was lost for words for a moment. Then, in a moment of haste, she blurted out, “I don’t like someone who’s older than me.” As soon as she said that, she retracted these words inwardly. No, I didn’t mean to spurn him. I just want to use this excuse to refuse to let our relationship go deeper. If my parents know that he and I have crossed such a line, they’re gonna give me hell She grew up abroad, but she was an old fashioned lady at heart.
The man turned around. A faint gleam flickered visibly across his eyes under the light, and his eyes darkened as though he’d get angry at any minute.
Ruka took a gulp. “Sorry.. I didn’t mean to spurn you…” she hurriedly apologized.
At first, she thought that the man would lecture her angrily However she heard him say, “Okay, I got it. Go to sleep.” He gave no response, but he sounded hurt.
Ruka suddenly felt that she was a mean person who hurt him with her words. Taking a deep breath, she walked toward him instead of returning to her room. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Ren. Don’t be angry, okay? That’s not what I mean. I just feel that you deserve a better person. I don’t deserve you at all, nor am I qualified to be someone you love…” she explained behind him while regretting what she had said on an impulse just now.
Her mind was in turmoil in the first place, and she didn’t look where she was going. Therefore, when the man stopped in his tracks, she bumped into his back.
She quickly took a step back, whereas the man turned around and fixed his eyes on her. “I don’t like your apology.” He expressed his stance right away.
Ruka blinked her eyes. “What kind of apology do you like, then?” Is there a better way of making an apology other than saying sorry?
