“You want some fish? Let me help you.” Angela was the most proactive one and quickly grabbed a piece for Sophie. The latter silently cursed her for ruining her chances.
Richard knew what his wile was getting at, and he smiled dryly.
“Come dig in. Angela,” Charlotte told Angela and even called out to Ruka. “And you too, Ruka. Look at you, all skin and bones. Eat.”
Ruka pursed her lips with a smile. “Of course, Grandma.”
She felt Ren shooting her a conflicted look.
Sophic smiled, “You’re the youngest one in the family, huh, Ruka? Scarlet’s goddaughter, ch?I heard she likes you the most. Here, a toast for you.”
She was reminding Ruka that she was the youngest around for a reason. Sophie wanted to push her down and keep her subservient.
“Thank you, Miss Liamson.” Ruka raised her glass half-heartedly and returned the toast.
“I envy Ruka. She has two moms and two dads. Harold, Charlotte, and uncle love her too.” Sophie continued.
Ruka bit her fork. She was a little panicked. Honestly, she was so nervous, she didn’t even dare to meet Ren’s gaze. She was worried Sophie might tell everyone about her relationship with him. She didn’t want that dream to happen in real life. What if his family wells at him? What if he hurts them because of us?
“Well, I mean, everyone’s different, Miss Liamson. For example, some people aren’t loved by their family, unlike Ruka is. Don’t you think so?” Angela snapped.
Sophic shut up and laughed at hersell. “I guess so. I’m not as lucky as she is.”
Ruka stood up and announced, “I need to use the bathroom.”
She left the room quickly, and Ren looked at her, worried. He held his phone up. “I’m gonna make a call.” And then he left as well.
Sophic starred in the direction they left. Angela rested her chin on her hands. “Stop staring, Miss Liamson. Dig in.”
She then looked at Richard and winked. It was as if she was saying, See? I hit the bullseye.
Richard’s brows knitted together. That’s not the problem here. This is a compiler case that needs to be dealt with
The bathroom was just an excuse for Ruka to get some fresh air. The tension was too much back in there, and her heart kept thumping furiously. It almost suffocated her.
A gust of cold wind blew across her the moment she came to the garden, causing her hair to Dillow in the wind. She had taken hier coat oil, so she was wearing nothing but her white dress. The cold air was making her shiver. She wanted to back away.
Then again, someone pulled her into a warm embrace. It surprised her. She looked back and saw Ren.lic looked worried and sympathetic.
“It’s cold out here, so why did you come out?” He led her into a greenhouse where the heater was on.
Ruka pulled her hand back. She was worried some servant might come out and see them. He sighed. “Don’t take what Sophie said to heart. She’s just an outsider.”
She didn’t want to tell him that Sophie threatened her before. It would just give him unwanted pressure. She nodded. “Sure. I don’t really mind what she said.”
Back in the dining room, Claire had also excused herself to go to the restroom. She thought she would run into her daughter there, but she didn’t see her, even when she was done relieving herself. It annoyed her.
It’s mealtime. Where is that girl? We’re guests here. She can’t run around. She’s not a kid anymore.
Claire was a strict mother. She went to look for her daughter so she could take her back to the dining hall. Going back alone was clearly rude.

I wonder if she’s in the greenhouse. Claire went to the greenhouse and heard sounds of conversation coming from one of the rooms, so she approached it.
Ruka and Ren were inside the room. She was feeling better after that little counseling session Ren gave her.
They were sitting face to face. Claire looked in and heaved a sigh of relief. I finally found her. So she was meeting Ren.
Just when she was about to call out to her daughter, Ruka spread her arms and hugged Ren. She even stood on tiptoes and kissed his cheek.
Claire’s eyes went wide with shock. What is she doing? She can’t do that to Ren!
She couldn’t see the look on Ren’s face, since his back was turned to her. However, she did see how impertinent Ruka was, and then the girl actually smiled shyly.
