Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Meanwhile, Ruka felt slightly lost. Did I say something wrong? It feels like he’s unhappy.

Ruka got up and headed upstairs, but she realized that he had put down his book and got up too. Out of courtesy, she stopped by the staircase and waited for him. He lifted his head to see that she was still standing by the staircase, so he gradually made his way, step by step, to her side before speaking up in a slightly hoarse voice, “Go to your room.”

Ruka could perceptively sense that he seemed to be suppressing something. Did my sudden presence disrupt his life? “Mr. Ren, are your bodyguards on standby 24/7? Could you please get them to send me back to Husson Residence?” Ruka asked bravely as she realized that she would feel much more at ease back home.

Ren seemed quite affable and easy to get along with at Husson Residence, and she had seen him in the garden when he was working. He had a superior attitude and exuded a prestigious aura. However, after interacting with him personally in private, she felt that he seemed pretty schemeful and hard to predict. Besides, he made one feel quite pressured.

“Do you wish to go home?” He had just taken a few steps up the stairs when he suddenly turned around to look at her.

“I feel like I might have been disruptive,” Ruka expressed herself quite frankly.

“They’ve gone off work, so they can’t send you home.” Ren turned around after saying that.

Ruka quickly went after him. “I thought they were supposed to be on standby 24/7? They would definitely send me home if you gave them the word.”

They had just arrived at the foyer when Ruka ran over in haste while he stood still and turned around to look at her. At that moment, they collided slightly with each other.

“Ah…” Ruka leaned backward out of fright, and it was the staircase behind her, so it would be quite a nasty fall for her if she actually toppled down the stairs.

Ruka reached out to grasp at something out of desperation, and Ren’s eyes suddenly widened as he quickly reached out to grab her wrist. Subsequently, he pulled her back toward him, and shortly after that, he held her tightly in his arms. During that spur of the moment of worry, he grabbed the back of her head with his large hands, and after rescuing her, he gave her a tight hug..

Ruka hugged him tightly around the waist as well, out of fright, and her heart thudded hard. She felt as if she had just barely escaped death, so she was quite pleasantly shocked, and yet the fear lingered on too.

“Why did you run after me in such a rush at a staircase?” There was an anxious, chiding voice that rang out above her head.

Ruka lifted her head in fright and finally noticed that he was in such close proximity to her with his head lowered.

They were so close to each other that she could feel his short breaths hitting her forehead. At that moment, she couldn’t help but breathe irregularly.

She was currently quite flustered as she tried to say something, but she couldn’t seem to come up with a full sentence in her mind due to the messy thoughts she had. Furthermore, their current hugging position felt quite intimate.

In Ren’s arms, Ruka opened and shut her red lips repeatedly as she tried to come up with the words to say. As soon as Ren saw that, he couldn’t quite suppress his urge.

He felt his throat tighten and the look in his eyes darkened significantly. At that moment, Ruka was quite anxious too. Why is he hugging me so tightly?

Just then, Ruka was about to lift her head when her eyes were met with a pair of dangerous-looking eyes. That didn’t seem like the look an elder would reveal to a younger member of his family. It was the primal look of a man studying a woman.

Ruka stopped breathing at that point, and something went off in her mind. “Uncle…”

However, he refused to let her finish her sentence as he quite domineeringly planted a kiss on her red lips, and subsequently, he managed to muffle her words.

Ren hated that form of address because he didn’t want to hear that from her lips at all.

At that point, Ruka stiffened, and her mind was a mess. She could no longer figure things out in her mind properly. She felt his soft touch on her lips, and perhaps he didn’t want to frighten her, so he didn’t kiss her too intensely. It felt as if he was savoring the sweetness of her lips.

Ruka hadn’t yet come to her senses as to how the kiss happened, but he had already released her from his arms. He whispered in her ears, “Ruka, I love you. I love you romantically, the way a man loves a woman.”

At that point, Ruka’s heart skipped a beat, and she shoved him aside. She turned around and ran off toward the third bedroom on the left before pushing open the door and burrowing into the room.

She hyperventilated as if she had just completed a marathon. No. No. No. That can’t be possible. This is not possible at all! How could he possibly be in love with me?!

Ruka felt as if she were about to pass out. This man, whom she had regarded as an elder since she was young, had suddenly confessed his love to her. He was such an impressive man too, so she couldn’t quite accept the fact. Ruka’s mind was scrambled at that moment and she remained in a dazed state for quite some time. In her mind, she could only hear the words that Rent had whispered in her ears, ‘Ruka, I love you. I love you romantically, the way a man loves a woman.”

She covered her face with her hands and blushed to the tips of her ears. This must be the most inconceivable thing that had happened in her life. What should I do? Currently, she was frantic, and she panicked quite badly.

She was the one who was supposed to confess her love for Jethro tonight, but now she was the recipient of another guy’s love confession.

Besides, the guy was not just any other man; he was an elderly figure whom she respected and was in awe of. She felt quite lost at the moment, and she felt as if she had barged into Ren’s territory accidentally. She wasn’t quite sure of what to do.

Just then, there was a knock on Ruka’s door, and her pretty eyes instantly widened in fear. She glanced at the door and was fearful of opening it, but she didn’t dare not to either. She had no choice but to open a tiny crack of the door from the inside and reveal a pair of shy-looking eyes to stare at the man outside.

“U-Mr. Ren… Do you have anything else to say?” Ruka realized that she could no longer address him as naturally as before.

The man outside the door had one hand holding onto the door frame as he looked at the girl, who only dared to reveal half of her face. At that point, he felt resigned and slightly worried, so he asked hoarsely, “Did I startle you?”

“No.” Ruka shook her head and lowered it shyly.

“I’m sorry. I take back my words from earlier, so don’t take them seriously.”

Ren’s voice sounded hoarser than ever, and he seemed to be muttering a remorseful reply.

Ruka, who had her head lowered, suddenly lifted it abruptly. “No! I’m happy that you’ve got feelings toward me, but I… I didn’t expect that at all.” Ruka lowered her head further, quite shyly.

“You should get some rest.” Ren turned around and left after talking it out with her.

Ruka shut the door behind her subsequently, and she felt that her mind was quite fuzzy at the moment. She attributed that to the fact that perhaps she was still under the influence of alcohol. The incident from before felt like a dream to her.

She fell back onto the bed and shut her eyes instantly. In her dazed state, she caught a whiff of male scent, and she instantly opened her eyes wide as she lifted her arms. At that moment, she realized that Ren’s distinct scent remained on the shirt. She blushed at that realization, and she thought, I’m still wearing his shirt! Gosh! It seems that everything that has happened has exceeded our previous relationship and it has now gone out of control.

Ruka enjoyed a good night’s sleep, and even the scene in her dreams was perfect, so as soon as she opened her eyes, she was under the impression that she was back in her room at Husson Residence. However, as she was stretching her body, she noticed the ceiling of the room and instantly sat upright.

She realized then that she wasn’t at home and that this was Ren’s home. Where’s my cell phone and what’s the time? I’ve got to work today! I can’t possibly arrive late on just the second day of my internship!

At that moment, she was in a frenzied state. She pulled open the door to the room and ran downstairs to search for her cell phone with her long hair billowing freely in a messy state.

She thought, It should be on the couch.

However, she had just arrived downstairs when she noticed that Ren was currently all suited up and standing in front of the doorway as he spoke with a young man.

At that moment, Ruka was significantly startled. She was currently dressed in Ren’s shirt, and the wide lapels of the shirt emphasized her slender and slim figure.
