Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
Ruka was certain that she looked like a boiled lobster right now, but she could not hide her joy. Does this mean I can stay with him for a few days?
I’ll head home to pack some things for Ruka and have someone bring it over right away,” Claire said.
“That won’t be necessary, Mrs. Singed. I’ll prepare the clothes, daily necessities, and whatever Ruka needs.” Ren replied lightly.
Ruka’s face was burning up. She felt incredibly shy that he was doting on her so much in front of her parents.
It occurred to Claire as well that Ren had the finest things in life available to him. Ruka would be well taken care of when she was with him.
“That’s settled then. Ren, you should take Ruka home with you now. It won’t be good for you to stay here much longer.” Scarlet was worried about Ren’s safety.
Ruka had already pulled her shoes on a long time ago. Ren glanced at her and she said to her parents, “Mom, Dad, I’ll be going now!”
Claire reached out for Ruka’s hand and instructed her, “Ruka, remember not to cause trouble for Ren, okay?”
Ruka nodded. “Yes, I know.”
By the time they came out of the room, Ren had put his mask back on. The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose gave him an air of sophistication. Ruka had only taken two steps when she felt his hand close around hers.
Ruka’s blush extended all the way to her ears as she followed him to the elevator.
The hospital elevators were long and rectangular. Despite being rather large, it became quite crowded by the time they got to the third floor. Elijah and the two bodyguards stood protectively in front of them, while Ruka and Ren were stuck together. She nestled into him and he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Once they arrived on the first floor, Ren continued to walk hand-in-hand with Ruka as he led her out to the hospital lobby. She felt a lot of envious and wistful stares from others. Although the man beside her was wearing a mask, it did nothing to hide his innate aura of dominance.
Even though the passersby could not see his face, they could tell from his distinguished air alone that he was no ordinary man.
Elijah and the two bodyguards remained vigilant and only exhaled in relief once the two entered the car.
The atmosphere inside the car was quiet and serene, in stark contrast to the bustle they had just walked through. Ruka felt the hand around her waist tightening as its owner pulled her closer. She scooted over and settled into the middle of the backseat, and he helped her with the seatbelt.
Ruka lifted her head a little and his lips brushed across her forehead. A smile danced in his eyes as he asked, “Are you happy, Ruka?”
“Yeah.” She held his arm and rested her head against his shoulder. “I’m very happy.”
They set off for Ren’s place. Ruka was exhausted after the sequence of events that took place throughout the day, so she leaned against Ren and fell asleep.
Ren held her close and used his coat to tuck her securely against him. The warmth that emanated from him lulled Ruka to sleep.
He had the car drive up to the front entrance of his residence, and once the driver opened the car door for him, he carried Ruka down. She stirred awake from the motion, and when she saw how he carried her into the hall, she was so embarrassed that she buried her head in his arms.
Fortunately for her, the bodyguards were wise enough to know when to be scarce. The procession of cars also disappeared within seconds.
“Do you still feel sleepy?” Ren asked. “Yeah. I still feel like sleeping.” Ruka nodded drowsily.
Ren smiled and carried her upstairs. Ruka sat up in shock when she realized that he put her down on his bed in the master bedroom. “I don’t want to sleep in your bed. I’ll sleep in the guest room!”
However, Ren bent over and took her shoes off for her. Even so, she still tried to stand in a hurry, as if she would sully his bed by sleeping there.
Just as she was about to stand, he pressed down on her shoulder to keep her in bed, and she tripped over her own legs.
“Abbi” She began to fall back onto the bed, but before she landed, she reacted instinctively and grabbed onto his shirt, which ended up pulling him down with her.
She fell herself sinking into the soft bed beneath her, while his body loomed over her and trapped her in. Still, he managed to prop himself up with his hands flat against the bed, or else, it would have been painful for her if he fell onto her as well.
His sculpted features were reflected in her large, clear eyes-including the stir of emotions that could be detected in his gaze.
They stared at each other like that for several seconds. Ruka’s heart began to beat a lot faster.
Ren had thought that he was patient enough to wait, but he underestimated just how attracted he was to her. She had only just arrived at his house, but he was already feeling the urge kicking in.
Ruka blinked at him blankly, but she was squealing for help on the inside.
What should I do now? Are we going to kiss? Should I push him off? Her eyes flickered here and there as the thoughts swarmed her mind. She dared not maintain eye contact with him. It was as if he would eat her alive the moment he locked eyes with her.
She no longer felt any trace of drowsiness now. In fact, she felt a little restless.
Her body was tense as if all her senses were transfixed on the man above her right now.
A hint of mirth flashed across Ren’s face when he saw how adorable she was being right now. Look at how nervous she is!
Still, Ren was reluctant about letting her off quite so easily, so he lowered himself down and pecked her luscious lips before standing up.
“Alright. Go to sleep.” Ren‘s voice was restrained. It was evident he was holding himself back.
“What about you?” Ruka looked at ease but she was a little disappointed. Is he leaving just like that?
“I have some work I need to attend to. You should rest for now. The doctor will come later to give you a checkup.”
Ruka shook her head at once when she heard that. “No thanks.”
“You‘re an adult now. Are you still scared of doctors?” Ren was amused.
“Yes. I‘m scared of needles and getting my blood taken. I don‘t want to see a doctor,” Ruka declared as she snuggled under the covers.
Ren adjusted the corner of the covers and replied, “Okay. We‘ll see how you‘re feeling when you‘re up. If you‘re feeling alright, then I won‘t ask the doctor to come.”
“Okay.” Ruka nodded.
Once Ren left, Ruka buried herself among the sheets. They smelled like him and she soon dozed off.
Half an hour later, Elijah brought over several suitcases of clothes. They were all for Ruka and had all manner of clothing that she could possibly need from the most luxurious brands on the market.
The household staff arranged the clothes into the wardrobe on Ruka‘s behalf. They took great care to complete the task as they had long since predicted she would be the future Mrs. Husson.
It was the festive season that led up to Christmas, and as dusk fell, the city came to life with the spirit of joy and celebration. There were even fireworks in the distance.
At Husson Residence.
