“Okay, I know, Mom. I’ll do my best.”
“Okay. Don’t stay up late now. Hurry up and sleep.” Saying that, Claire hung up the phone.
Ruka lay down on the bed with her face buried in the blanket. Her mind was full of Ren, and she didn’t know what to do.
On one end, there was what Victoria had said to her, and on the other hand, there was her parents’ respect for Ren. How could she catch feelings for him? Ah, whatever! Ruka felt that she had no resistance for Ren at all. Just two kisses from him had made her completely forget about her one-sided crush that had lasted three years. However, he was just so charming that it was shocking. If he was a little more aggressive, Ruka felt that she would only let down her guard.
No woman could resist this man making a move on them, let alone a naive girl like her. When she sat up, her face was flushed, and she didn’t know if she was nervous or if it was something else, but she suddenly had the urge to head outside for a drink.
She didn’t know if it would disturb Ren’s rest either. Ruka thought about the last time she bumped into him when she went downstairs for a drink and was immediately kissed by him in the hallway.
She wondered if the same would happen if she bumped into him again this time. However, if she didn’t drink any water, how would she be able to sleep that night? She might even start looking for some water in her sleep.
Ruka suddenly felt that she was being ridiculous. Why was she so afraid of him? Suddenly, she came up with another idea.
He just had chest pain earlier. Was he fine now? What if he fainted in the study or his room and there was no one around him to notice it?
Ruka immediately got out of bed and put on her woolen shoes before rushing out. She went straight to the study where Ren might be and gently turned the door knob, but he was no longer inside.
Was he back in his room? With a strange burst of courage, Ruka sped toward his bedroom.
When she reached the door of his bedroom, she took a deep breath. Thinking that making sure of his safety was the most important thing no matter what, she knocked on the door.
However, when the door was opened from the inside, what Ruka saw was not a fully-dressed man, but a man who had just taken a shower, with only a towel wrapped around his waist. His dark hair was still dripping with water, and her gaze immediately landed on his strong muscles and distinct six-pack.
“Ahh!” Ruka hurriedly covered her face and turned her back to him. I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. I was just worried about you, so I came to check on you.
Ren’s lips curled upward, causing his charming dimples to appear. This woman was quite brave for daring to knock on his door late at night.
“Aren’t you here to see me? Why aren’t you looking?” His deep and seductive voice sounded from behind.
Ruka shook her head. How would she dare to look?
“Hiss.” All of a sudden, she heard him hiss under his breath in pain.
Ruka instinctively let go of the hand that was covering her eyes and turned to look behind only to see a handsome face with a somewhat cheeky smile. He was just acting.
“You…” Ruka felt both angry and frustrated.
“Come in.” Ren’s voice was slightly hoarse, and it was gentle yet bossy.
Of course, Ruka didn’t dare to go in! The atmosphere around him felt too dangerous, and she didn’t want to…
Before she could finish thinking about it, he reached out and grabbed onto her slender arm, his force causing her whole body to stumble into his broad chest, and the door behind her slammed shut soon after.
All she could smell was the minty fragrance of his freshly showered body. as well as his masculine scent. Her breathing quickened, and her brain was buzzing as she didn’t know how to react. Should she push him, or should she allow him to hold her like this?
“Would you like to have a drink with me?” Ren asked her in a low voice, before letting her go.
Ruka looked up at the wine cabinet next to the couch in the bedroom, where there was an open bottle of red wine. It seemed that he had a habit of drinking red wine before going to bed.
“I-It’s fine.” She waved her arms in refusal. The atmosphere was already strange, and if they drank any wine, she wouldn’t be able to deal with it.
“Are you afraid that I’d eat you?” Ren curled his lips and smiled. “Although I really want to, I’ll respect your wishes.”
He also meant that as long as Ruka agreed, he would do anything.
Ruka’s blush spread to the tip of her ears. Then, she opened the door and fled, not forgetting to look back over her shoulder to remind him, “I won’t be drinking the wine. Also, you should drink less and rest early. If you have any problems, please contact me immediately.”
Saying that, Ruka closed the door and fled back to her room, while the man sighed a little helplessly. Why can’t she stay put in her room? Why must she show up in front of me?
Did she think that I’m not taking enough cold showers recently?If I take any more cold showers, I’m really going to fall sick because of her. At that thought, Ren moodily took a sip of wine.
When Ruka went back to the room and closed the door, she was still thinking about whether she should lock her door, but she decided that Ren wouldn’t come over in the middle of the night. She still believed in his character. After a long day of being scared, shocked, and tired, she fell asleep not long after she lay down on her bed.
In the middle of the night, she woke up at the sounds of voices. She couldn’t help but sit up in shock and listen carefully to the movement outside. There was indeed someone having a conversation.
She was so startled that she quickly lifted her blanket and got up. What was wrong? Did something happen to Ren? She hurriedly opened the door, only to see that the lights in the villa were already on. She saw Elijah standing in the hallway at a glance and asked in a panic, “Elijah, what happened to him?”
“Mr. Husson suddenly has a high fever.” Elijah looked worried as well.
Ruka looked in the direction of the bedroom and asked, “Can I go in to see him?”
“You can.” Elijah nodded.
Ruka hurriedly went over in her pajamas. When she opened the door and peeked inside, she saw Ren sitting on an incline in bed with an IV drip in his arm. Next to him, there was a middle-aged doctor chatting with him.
As soon as Ruka entered, Ren’s eyes widened and he said to her, “Go back to your room.”
Ruka asked worriedly, “Are you all right?”
His voice turned a little frustrated. “I told you to go back to your room. Didn’t you me?” Ruka couldn’t help but feel a little hurt. She was so worried about his health, but why was he scolding her?
After the middle-aged male doctor glanced at Ruka, he quickly lowered his gaze, pretending to be looking at the IV drip equipment next to him.
Seeing her bite her lip, her big eyes full of hurt, Ren softened his voice and said, “Go back to your room and change your clothes before coming over.”
Ruka suddenly recovered her senses and lowered her head to see that she was not wearing anything underneath. Although she was wearing a set of long cotton pajamas, two bumps were still faintly visible.
It was only then that she realized why he had gotten angry. She hurriedly wrapped her arms around her chest in embarrassment and went out. When she passed Elijah, she lowered her head and walked into the room quickly. Her hurt had disappeared all of a sudden, and she even felt like laughing. He had gotten angry just because of this?
