Chapter 1217
They stared at each other like that for several seconds. Ruka’s heart began to beat a lot faster. Ren had thought that he was patient enough to wait, but he underestimated just how attracted he was to her.
She had only just arrived at his house, but he was already feeling the urge kicking in. Ruka blinked at him blankly, but she was squealing for help on the inside.
What should I do now? Are we going to kiss? Should I push him off? Her eyes flickered here and there as the thoughts swarmed her mind. She dared not maintain eye contact with him. It was as if he would eat her alive the moment he locked eyes with her.
She no longer felt any trace of drowsiness now. In fact, she felt a little restless. Her body was tense as if all her senses were transfixed on the man above her right now.
A hint of mirth flashed across Ren’s face when he saw how adorable she was being right now. Look at how nervous she is!
Still, Ren was reluctant about letting her off quite so easily, so he lowered himself down and pecked her luscious lips before standing up.
“Alright. Go to sleep.” Ren’s voice was restrained. It was evident he was holding himself back. “What about you?” Ruka looked at ease but she was a little disappointed. Is he leaving just like that?
“I have some work I need to attend to. You should rest for now. The doctor will come later to give you a checkup.”
Ruka shook her head at once when she heard that. “No thanks.” “You’re an adult now. Are you still scared
of doctors?” Ren was amused. “Yes. I’m scared of needles and getting my blood taken. I don’t want to see a doctor,”
Ruka declared as she snuggled under the Covers.
Ren adjusted the corner of the covers and replied, “Okay. We’ll see how you’re feeling when you’re up. If you’re feeling alright, then I won’t ask the doctor to come.”
“Okay.” Ruka nodded.
Once Ren left, Ruka buried herself among the sheets. They smelled like him and she soon dozed off.
Half an hour later, Elijah brought over several suitcases of clothes. They were all for Ruka and had all manner of clothing that she could possibly need from the most luxurious brands on the market.
The household staff arranged the clothes into the wardrobe on Ruka’s behalf. They took great care to complete the task as they had long since predicted she would be the future Mrs. Husson.
It was the festive season that led up to Christmas, and as dusk fell, the city came to life with the spirit of joy and celebration. There were even fireworks in the distance. At Husson Residence.
Harold was looking forward to having Ren home for dinner, but when Charlotte told him that Ren was too busy with work to return home for dinner, he started grumbling in discontent.
“How can he be this busy during the Christmas season? Can’t he spare the time for a meal?” Harold was disgruntled.
However, Charlotte could not hide the joy in her eyes. Usually, she would have grumbled right along with her husband, but she got a call from Scarlet two hours ago and heard that Ruka had moved in with Ren. Thus, she was pretty pleased to hear that Ren would be spending time with his loved one this year.
