She was vexed. He had seen her at all of her worsts, while he seemed to have been perfect all this while. It felt like the star student was pairing up with the one who scored the lowest.
Eventually, she returned the notebook to its spot with the photos as well. She was going to pretend that she never found this, but of course, she was not going to forget about it.
Ruka sent Ren a text about the cat. She wanted to know if he could bring it back for her to raise.
Ren’s reply was simple. ‘Alright.‘
At half past five that evening.
When Ruka heard the sound of a car approaching the front of the house, she jogged to the door to greet him. As soon as Ren got out of the car, she flung herself into his arms without wasting a second longer.
Ren held her steady with his long arms and kissed her head.
Meanwhile, Elijah opened the trunk and took out the little kitten Ruka had been thinking of.
“Mr. Husson got someone to look after the kitten, but it’s yours to care for now, Miss Singed. We’ve brought the food and supplies as well.”
Ruka took the little cutie out of the carrier and the kitten began to meow weakly in her arms. Her heart melted at the sight.
“It’s so cute! Let’s raise it together!”
Ren nodded and agreed with an indulgent expression, “Sure. Raise it together.”
“Both you and the cat,” he added.
Ruka’s cheeks flushed red. Thankfully, Elijah and the bodyguards had cleared off. Her heart felt warm and fuzzy as she said, “I’ll raise the cat and you can raise me.”
“It’s a deal.” They walked into the house with the kitten in her arms, and she in his.
While Ruka stayed in the living room to play with the cat, Ren and Elijah headed into the study. The atmosphere started to get a little tense.
“Sir, do you mean that Orson won’t use your relationship with Miss Singed against you?”
“I know what his tendencies are. He won’t harp on this matter, and he knows that even if he exposed my relationship with Ruka, it won’t affect my chances during the elections. However, Ruka will become his target instead,” Ren stated gravely.
“Alright. I understand. From now on, we’ll need to keep Miss Singed and her family safe.” Elijah nodded.
Ren’s family was well–protected, so now, Ruka was his weakness.
“Use as many men as needed. Make sure that Ruka and her family remain safe,” Ren instructed.
“I will, Sir. Oh, by the way, Miss Parfait has been taken in for a meeting. She will be resigning next week.”
The feasting carried on today as the festive mood lingered. Elijah stayed late for work and thus joined them for dinner.
Ruka sat on the couch and played with the little kitten in her lap. It had gotten a proper shower at the pet store, so its fur was clean and smooth to the touch. She was pretty sure that it was one of the most gorgeous cats alive.
She smiled when she saw the two men coming downstairs. As soon as Ren stepped onto the landing, the cat leaped out of her arms and ran over to him. He stopped and it started climbing up his pants to try and snuggle in his arms.
Ren had a smile on his face as he crouched down to pick the kitten up. Ruka felt like a giddy school girl again when she saw this. It was adorable in an odd way to see him hugging a cat.
He carried himself with an air of dominance, but having a cat in his arms softened his intimidating aura and added a touch of gentleness to him. Any young woman who saw him right now would wish to be the cat in his arms!
Ruka could not help but recall the way she used to fantasize about being a cat in his arms. She blushed at the thought. Dreams were worth having after all. Who knew if they might come true one day?
Ren sat down on the couch with the cat still nestled against him. He looked a lot more relaxed as his fingers combed through the cat’s fur. He turned to the young woman beside him and said, “Your parents will be moving to a new house tomorrow.”
“Huh? Did Mom and Dad buy a house?” Ruka was taken aback. Why did they not tell her?
“Miss Singed, they did not buy a house. Mr. Husson is the one who prepared the house that they’ll be moving into,” Elijah explained from the side.
Ruka’s eyes widened. We’re not married yet but he bought a house for my parents already?
“That’s too much!” Ruka felt a little overwhelmed.
“It’s only right for me to arrange a better living situation for my in–laws,” Ren said with a smile. “I’ll send you back before Christmas so you can spend the festive season with them too.”
Ruka was touched. She was overjoyed that her parents would be staying in a better place now. As they worked abroad most of the time, they decided against getting a new house and opted to save the money for her to use once she got married instead. Her father once declared that he was going to make sure she had a grand wedding.
Dinner was served and all three of them sat down at the dining table together. Elijah took the opportunity to pull out his iPad and amend Ren’s itinerary for tomorrow. Yet again, Ren had a full schedule and Ruka felt like she could scarcely breathe just hearing how much that had to be done!
Furthermore, this schedule had been fixed two weeks in advance. Elijah was only doing some minor adjustments the day before.
Ruka glanced sympathetically at Ren. If only she had the ability to help him. She wished she could take on some of his work on his behalf, but she could not do anything else apart from feel sorry for him, and she felt rather helpless because of this.
Elijah left after dinner, and the servants also took their leave once they were done cleaning up. Ren, Ruka, and the little cat were the only ones left in the enormous house.
Ren headed to his study. As for Ruka, she took a shower and then started playing with the cat, Callie, in the living area on the second floor. It was nearly ten at night when it curled up on the couch to sleep.
Ruka kept on flitting the cat toy around until she became drowsy as well. Her head started tilting forward, and she fell asleep on the couch as well.
When Ren stepped out of his study at half past ten, he walked past the living area on the second floor and saw the young woman and the cat sleeping there. His heart softened at the sight of them.
He decided against waking her up right now. Instead, he took a blanket and draped it over her before heading back to his room for a shower. Twenty minutes later, he came out dressed in a pair of black pajamas.
After staring at Ruka for a few seconds, he bent down and kissed her on the forehead before carrying her up.
Although Ruka had not been doing much the past two days, she still felt particularly drained. The moment he pulled her into his arms, she jostled awake and spotted a handsome face looming over her. She happily wrapped her arms around his neck.
“Are you done with work?” she asked at once in fear that he needed to head back to work again.
“Yeah. I’m done. Let’s go to bed.” Ren’s deep, hoarse voice sounded a little sexy.
When Ruka heard what he said, she leaned against him shyly and reveled in his embrace as he carried her to the master bedroom.

Ruka mustered all her courage and made a bold decision. She was going to give herself to him tonight! If that was what he wanted, she was more than happy to oblige.
