Ruka felt sheepish, but also moved. “Thank you, Charlotte. Really. This means a lot.”


    Charlotte handed the box over to her. “This is gonnae in handy when you attend important events with Ren.”


    Ruka nodded. “Of course. |’ll treasure it.” She then noticed the light of a car''s heamps shining through the window, and delight


    filled her. Is that him?


    She saw a silhouetteing from the garden. Her heart thumped furiously and she said, “I''ll take my leave now, Charlotte.”


    She left through the side door to wee Ren. Ruka wasn’t exactly being subtle, so Ren saw her as well. He smiled and


    stopped walking just for her. She leapt into his embrace and hugged him tight.


    It had only been two days since she saw him, but she was already missing him..


    Ren wrapped his arm around her shoulder and kissed her hair, then he looked at the living room for a moment before taking her


    into the bamboo forest. She followed him sheepishly.


    They had just gotten into the shadows, and he was already kissing her. He had missed her as well. The excitement kept Ruka


    tense. She let him kiss her, though her face was beet red. “It’s time for dinner.”


    “Let''s go.” Ren ran his fingers through her hair. His eyes glinted with desire under the lights, and he felt as if he was a beast


    trying to escape its cage. Ruka was too alluring. “How many days has it been?” He suddenly huddled closer.


    She answered shyly, “Three.”


    He patted the back of her head happily and pulled her closer. | just want to ravage her now. Eventually, dinner went underway,


    and Ruka was seated beside Ren for obvious reasons. Fortunately, Harold was so engrossed in his wine that he didn’t realize


    Ren and Ruka’s sweet interactions.


    Ruka didn’t mind. Everyone else ignored the fact that Ren kept filling Ruka’s te with food and looking at her lovingly. They


    didn’t want to pressure the new couple.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    The couple finished their food earlier than everyone and went out for a walk. The garden was chilly, but their intertwined hands


    felt warm.


    Scarlet was a nostalgic person, so she barely renovated anything from the first day the house was built. Aside from the new


    nts, everything else looked the same as they were twenty years ago.


    As Ren looked at the flowers, pond, and field, he was reminded of how cheeky Ruka used to be. He chuckled. She looked at


    him. “Why are youughing?”


    “| was just reminded of the time when you were a kid. You were really cheeky,” he said. Ruka didn’t remember things from way


    back then. Still, she smugly asked, “Really? Was | that cheeky?”


    “Yeah. Scarlet wouldn''t discipline you.. You were spoiled rotten. You''d take anything | have whenever you felt like it.” Ren had to


    give everything nice to her back then. She said sheepishly. “Well, now I’m going to marry you, so we’re even now?”


    He pulled her into his embrace and smiled at her. “Yep.” She hugged him as well. He wasn’t the only one who wanted to ravage


    her; she wanted to do the same to him as well. He was hot, and she was very much willing to sleep with him.


    She fluttered her eyshes and asked timidly, “Can | stay at your ce?”


    “Tonight?”


    She nodded. “Yes.”


    He tightened his arms around her. “I’m a bit busy the next couple of days, so I''ll have to stay back in the office. But | promise I''ll


    pick you up once I’m done with work, okay?”


    He didn’t want to refuse her, but work was heavy. It would be rude if he took her with him just to ignore her. After work was done,


    he would take a break to spend time with her.


    Ruka was an understanding person. “Sure, I''ll wait.”
