Chapter 1055


    cing his ss down, Ren said to the girl opposite him, “Didn‘t you wanna borrow a cat? I have one


    at home.”


    Stunned for a few seconds, Ruka was overjoyed at this. “Mr. Ren, you actually have a


    cat!”

    “I do. I‘ll tell my men to send her over tomorrow,” he said nonchntly.


    “That‘s great! I needed a cat!” She then said to Walter, “Uncle Walter, I found a rat in the study earlier. I


    was worried that it might chew on the book, so this is why I wanted a cat to scare it away.”


    “Really? Are there mice in the study again? I found onest time too. I think it‘s because of the


    impending winter, making the mice seek somewhere warm,” stated Walter somewhat frustratingly.


    “This would happen less if we were in an apartment. But, it‘s hard to avoid since we live in a vi.”


    Scarlet pointed out.


    Eating just a few mouthfuls, Walter noticed that Ren‘s cup was already empty. He was about to pour


    him another ss when Scarlet forbade him. “That‘s enough. You just concentrate on filling your own


    ss.”


    “It‘s so rare that Ren is drinking with us. C‘mon, let us have more!” Walter was a bit upset.


    At that moment, Ruka was snickering before she matched gazes again with Ren, whose fierce look


    made her freeze as she stiffened up like an obedient child.


    Watching the girl‘s smile disappear every time she saw her made Ren a bit perplexed. Am I that scary?


    He actually liked to see her smile, for he thought that it was veryforting to look at.


    “Ren, I still remember that you had an upset stomach because you didn‘t eat properlyst time. Look at


    you, drinking so fast. Do you have something on your mind?” Scarlet looked at her brother curiously


    since he did not look like he was tasting the wine. He looked more like he was using it to drown his


    sorrows.


    In front of his elder sister, Ren did not dare to act up as he replied, “It‘s nothing. I just wanted to drink a


    ss or two, seeing how joyful Walter is.”
