Chapter 1073
“Yup! I‘ve just landed. What about you? Have you eaten? Should I pick you up and have a meal
together?” It was the brisk voice of a man.
“No, it‘s alright. You should go home and get some early rest. We‘ll meet up tomorrow.” She smiled
lightly.
Unbeknownst to Ruka, the man next to him could hear the voice resounding from her phone due to the
silence in the car.
“Why? Don‘t you miss me?” the man grumbled.
“Of course I... I do miss you! But you‘ve just returned to the country. You should head home first.”
“Then, we can meet up for a meal and a movie tomorrow. Your favorite sci–fi movie has just been
released.”
“Really? I‘m totally up for it.” She was on cloud nine. Not only did her crush return to the country, the
movie she anticipated was also released. It was as though wonderful things were happening at the
same time.
On the other hand, Ren turned his head to look out of the window as if he was deep in his thoughts.
However, he kept listening to how happy her voice was while she talked over the phone; mixed feelings
stirred in his eyes.
It was not until Ruka terminated the call that he turned to look at her, only to see the smile across her
lips. Her joyous expression struck somewhere deep in his racing heart.
He stared at her while images of past memories flashed across his head. He could vividly remember
the way she looked as she grew up like a butterfly.
They met for the first time when he was twelve; Scarlet carried a little girl home, who
was weeping non–stop with her hands held onto Scarlet‘s shoulders tightly. It was safe to say that tears
did not stop falling from her beady eyes.
