I''m sorry. Richard. I-” “It’s not your fault,” he said gently.


    He took her to amon room. Ang realized he was looking tense. Based on their conversation, she knew Ren’s rtionship


    with Ruka was a big deal.


    He’s giving the election up for Ruka. It’s unbelievable. However, Ang thought Ruka was lucky she had a man who loved her


    so much, he would make such a big sacrifice.


    “Are you worried about Ren?” Ang cupped his face. She was worried about Richard. Richard sighed. “I’m worried about


    Grandpa and Grandma. They expect big things from Uncle Ren. This might crush them.”


    ‘Richard, do you love me? Would you give up your career for me?” she asked seriously, still holding his face.


    He answered without any hesitation, “Of course.”


    “What would you do if | were to be kidnapped, and they want you in exchange for me?”


    Richard hugged her. For some reason, he was getting nervous. “I''ll kill them if they try to do anything to you.”


    Oh, wow. Ang realized that she was as lucky as Ruka was. Both of them met gentlemen who would give up everything for


    them. She smiled. “Now can you see why Uncle Ren is giving the election up for her? Because he loves her, just like you love


    me.


    Richard was just too surprised by Ren’s decision, but now Ang made things clear for him. He sighed. “You''re right.”


    Ang looked at him. Richard was still frowning, and she pinched his brows. “Don’t fret over it. We''ll help them if they need us.”


    In the greenhouse, Charlotte wasughing at something Sophie said. Just then, a servant came in. “Miss Liamson? Miss Scarlet


    would like to talk to you.”


    “Oh, sure.” Sophie got up and said goodbye to Charlotte, then she went with the servant. Right after she was gone, Ren came in


    and took the seat beside his mother.


    “There’s something | want to tell you, Mom”


    Charlotte took a sip of her tea. ‘Really? Why did you have to wait until she’s gone to bring that up?” Oh, finally. He’s bringing this


    up.


    “Please stop inviting Miss Liamson over, Mom. | have someone | like,” he said..Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Charlotte looked at him in surprise. “Really? Who’s thedy who caught your eye?”


    “I''ll introduce her to you guys in time.”


    Oh, he’s finally bringing a girl home for dinner. Looks like the wedding’sing soon. She nodded. “I''ll be waiting then. I''ll see to


    Miss Liamson in time.”


    Ren nodded. “Sure. I''ll be going back then.”


    “| wanna see her as soon as possible. It''d be best if you can have your own kid next year,” Charlotte told Ren as he left the room.


    Sophie was going to see Scarlet, but she ran into Ang, who was also making her way to where Scarlet was to spend some


    time with her, in the corridor. Even before they talked, tension was already rising in the air.


    “Stop wasting your time on Ren, Missi Liamson. | heard what you told Ruka today. Back off if you know what''s good for you,”


    Ang warned.


    Sophie held her anger back. She tried to be as nice as she could, and she said, “You took it the wrong way, Ang. It was for


    their own good. Yeah, they’re not rted by blood, but Ren’s in a sensitive position. He can’t afford to get hit by any scandals.


    The election is just around the corner. If someone finds out he’s in love with his sister’s goddaughter, it''d cause a whole slew of


    problems.”


    “We don’t need any outsiders to tell us what to do. Mind your own business, Miss Liamson,” Ang retorted. She knew Sophie’s


    true colors, and it disgusted her.
