Ren turned to look at her. “Respect what?” “Why are you so sure that I’d like you back just because you like me? Are you just that confident?” Ruka raised her head as all kinds of feelings surged in her heart, and her eyes began to turn red.

Ren’s lips twitched. Though the way he looked at her was still gentle, his gaze was intense and morose as if covered with a layer of dust.

Ruka’s breathing was caught in her throat as she found it difficult to ignore the emotions in his eyes. She lowered her head and continued, “Let’s just continue with our original relationship! No matter what, you’ll only be my uncle. You’re a highly ranked vice president while I am just an ordinary civilian. There… won’t be anything between us.”

Saying that, Ruka quickly walked in the direction of the hall with her head lowered, leaving behind the man in the yard.

She had not walked far when Ren’s tall figure suddenly bent down as he covered his chest with a large palm as if he was fighting the pain in his heart. When she didn’t hear any footsteps behind her, she couldn’t help but turn back to take a look. Instantly, she was so shocked that she ran back to him.

“What’s wrong?” she asked frantically.

With a hand on his waist, Ren struggled to straighten his back as he replied hoarsely, “I’m fine.”

Ruka didn’t believe him. He didn’t look like he was fine! Besides, he was holding onto his chest. Was he having any heart problems?

“Should I contact Elijah?” She was truly panicking, both of her hands holding onto his arm tightly.

“Didn’t you want to leave? I’ll call the bodyguards back and let them take you home now.” Ren spoke in a low voice, his back straightening as if he really were fine.

However, Ruka refused to leave even if he wanted her to. She shook her head and insisted, “I’m not leaving. I want to take care of you.”

At her words, Ren’s lips curled upward indistinguishably. He nodded and agreed, “All right. Help me back to the hall so that I can rest.”

Ren wasn’t pretending that his chest was aching. When she resolutely said those to him earlier, there was indeed a sharp pain that shot through his heart. He didn’t expect she would have such a big effect on him, enough to make his chest ache with just one sentence.

In the end, he had underestimated how important she was to him. He smiled bitterly on the inside, feeling helpless. This unrequited love had started from him, but this girl didn’t know anything, so he couldn’t blame her for wanting to escape. To her, his feelings were both oppressive and pressuring.

In the hall, Ruka hurriedly poured him a glass of water. “Quick, have a drink! Do you have a bad heart because you’re usually too busy and don’t get enough rest?”

As Ren took the glass of water from her, he replied, “It’s really nothing.” He didn’t want this girl to think that he was some sort of old geezer. He was already older than her in the first place, so it bothered him to hear her saying that he was in poor health.

Ruka looked at his face. Even if someone said he was in his late twenties, nobody would suspect it at all. He really did look young. “Do you want to know what happened to me earlier?” Ren looked at her with narrowed eyes.

“Yeah! Tell me.” Ruka listened to him with a serious expression.

“Your words made me so angry that my heart started hurting.” He pushed the blame onto her without any hesitation. Ruka’s eyes widened slightly, and she pointed at herself. “Me?”

Ren nodded. “Yes, you.”

Ruka immediately recalled what she had said to him just now. Did he hurt himself from anger just because she had rejected him and said that there was no possibility for anything to happen between them in this life?

“I’m sorry,” Ruka instantly apologized, her mind filled with guilt and remorse. She might have spoken a little too harshly.

“I should be the one apologizing. It was because I didn’t respect you and didn’t tell you my feelings for you in advance that I scared you,” Ren apologized to her instead.

Ruka raised her head, unable to look directly into his scorching eyes all of a sudden. She pursed her red lips, then replied after a while, “Can we stop talking about this? I’m afraid I’ll say the wrong thing and make you angry again.”

He blinked, his eyes locking onto her. “Then, when are you planning to talk to me so that you wouldn’t make me angry?”

Ruka caught her breath slightly, realizing that this problem could not be avoided. If that was the case, would he get angry regardless if she talked about it now or a year later?

“You should like someone else! When you find someone else you like, we wouldn’t have to talk about this anymore,” she suggested.

Ren’s eyebrows furrowed. If he could like someone else, would he wait until now? His feelings weren’t a matter as simple as shopping at the store. He couldn’t just like something else at the drop of a hat.

“Okay, let’s not talk about it today. We’ll save it for later.” Thinking that he still had work to deal with, Ren got up and planned to go upstairs.

“Mr. Ren, is your body really okay?” Ruka asked worriedly behind him.

The man suddenly paused in the middle of straightening his suit gracefully and turned to stare at her, correcting her words, “Don’t use honorifics when you talk to me in the future.”

Ruka was rendered speechless. Was there anything wrong with respecting him?

“Got it.” She responded seriously.

“I still have to work, so you should go back to your room and rest.” After Ren finished speaking, he immediately took off his suit jacket. Underneath, he was wearing an elegant three-piece suit that consisted of trousers, a shirt, and a vest.

The suit made his body look slender, handsome, and strong, and it didn’t seem like he was in bad health at all.  When Ruka went back to the room, she wondered how Victoria would feel when she found out that she was holding Elijah in the end.

After taking a bath, she lay on the bed. and skimmed through a book. Though its contents were educational and important, she just couldn’t seem to learn anything as her mind was full of what Victoria had said earlier. She was forced to wonder if the consequences were really that serious.

Just then, Ruka’s phone beeped with a notification from a text message. When she picked it up, she saw it was from her mother. ‘Ruka, are you asleep? I heard that you’re staying in Mr. Husson’s house. You have to know your manners and follow the rules. Don’t disturb his work and his life, all right?’

Ruka pursed her lips into a smile as she replied, ‘Mom, I haven’t slept yet! Let’s talk over the phone instead!’

Soon, her mother, Claire Belmont, called her. Ruka answered the call. “Hello, Mom?”

“I thought you were asleep! It’s already ten. Why haven’t you slept yet? How’s your work?” “I’m still an intern. Mom, when are you and Dad coming back?”

“We have eight days of holiday for Christmas this year, so your dad and I decided to come back to spend it with you.” At her words, Ruka counted the date and said happily, “There’s still half a month until Christmas!”

“Yes, so we’re planning to head back home. Oh, that’s right, now that you’re staying in Mr. Husson’s house, you have to always be careful. You can’t disturb his work.”

“Don’t worry! I’ll be careful.”

“Yeah. Mr. Husson treats us well. When he went abroad last time, he came to us for an examination. Not only did he care about your dad and I, but he also brought us a lot of gifts. We were very moved.” Claire’s tone was full of gratefulness.

Ruka’s chest tightened when she saw how much her parents respected him when she had just made him so angry that his chest started hurting. At the thought, she couldn’t help but have a guilty conscience.

“Ruka, you should sleep earlier and fight for a chance to stay in the Translation Department,” Claire encouraged.
