“Did you feel | my love?” the man asked with a low voice and a smile. Could Ruka say no? If she said that, he was definitely


    going to kiss her until she got dizzy again, so she shyly hummed to express that she felt it.


    “Sophie is just someone my mom introduced to me. | only met her the night before yesterday, but | don’t have any thoughts


    about her.”


    “Your parents like her very much, though.” Ruka raised her head and stated.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    “They''re just eager to have a daughter-inw. As long as | don’t agree to it, there’s no use for them liking her,” Ren firmly


    emphasized that only he could decide on his marriage.


    “Are we crazy?” Ruka was dizzy the moment she muttered those words.


    Feeling bad for her, Ren pressed the back of her head closer to his heart while saying, “Don’t worry, | will marry you.”


    Ruka closed her eyes as those words branded in her ears like an oath, calming her flustered heart. No matter how difficult the


    road ahead was, she was willing to apany him through it.


    Downstairs, Sophie couldn’t take it anymore. She asked Mrs. Husson, “Mrs. Husson, is Ren not back yet?”


    “He’s back! Why don’t you go upstairs and look for him? He’s probably there,” Mrs. Husson replied to Sophie. Sophie nodded


    happily and answered, “Okay! I''ll head upstairs to look for him.”


    Sophie trotted upstairs with a heart eager to see Ren. She took a look at the second floor and asked one of the maids, “Have


    you seen Mr. Ren?”


    “He should be on the third floor!” replied the maid.


    Sophie went up to the third floor without saying a word, but she didn’t know where Ren was. All the doors were closed at the


    moment, so she had to shout. “Ren, are you here?”


    In the study, Ren hugged Ruka tightly, and the woman became startled as she trembled in fright. She pushed the man ina


    struggle since Sophie’s voice was just outside the door.


    Ren let go of her, so Ruka hurriedly turned her head to look around and saw the curtains. She then pointed to Ren and hid


    herself there.


    Surprisingly, Sophie found the right door. She knocked and pushed the door to the study. As expected, she saw the tall man


    standing in front of the floor-to ceiling window. With a delighted expression, she eximed, “Ren, you’re here!”


    Ren’s expression at the moment was twisted and even a little cold. “Who told you that you could barge in?” he questioned


    solemnly.


    Sophie''s originally cheerful face turned flustered for a few seconds. She bit her lip and exined aggrievedly, “I... It was Mrs.


    Husson who told me toe upstairs to find you. | didn’t mean to disturb you.”


    After exining the situation, Sophie couldn''t help but show him a look of innocence and self-me. I’m so sorry, Ren, can you


    forgive me for barging in?”


    “Get out!” Ren yelled in an attempt to kick her out.


    When Sophie saw that there was no one around, how could she give up this opportunity to be alone with him? Instead of leaving,


    she boldly walked toward Ren and inquired, “Are you reading here by yourself? Can | stay with you?”


    “No. Just get out!” His gazended behind the curtains beside the window, and he vaguely saw the figure of the girl hiding inside.


    In an instant, he felt extremely bad for her.


    ‘I''d like to apany you. Don’t worry, | won’t disturb you,” Sophie uttered boldly. Ren’s cold eyes stared at her. “Do you not


    understand me, Miss Liamson?”


    “Ren, | like you. | like you very much. Even before | met you, | already fell hard for you when | saw you on TV. | wish to date you,


    Sophie confessed loudly.


    Ruka, who was behind the curtains, became stunned. She couldn''t believe she was hearing another woman’s confession to him!


    “Miss Liamson, there is someone | like, so please don’t waste your time,” uttered Ren straightforwardly as he stared at her with


    an intimidating gaze, exuding a cold aura around him.


    Sophie’s heart trembled, for the man she was so eager to be with was right in front of her. She didn’t give up as she continued,


    “But Mr. and Mrs. Husson like me a lot. They think we''re a good match...


    “Where did you get the confidence to think we’re a good match?” Ren raised his brows, feeling greatly dissatisfied. His beloved


    woman was still hiding behind the curtains, yet he had to endure the harassment of another woman.
