Chapter 1164
:
“Okay let’s not talk about it today. We’ll save it for later.” Thinking that he still had work to deal with, Ren
got up and planned to go upstairs.
“Mr. Ren, is your body really okay?” Ruka asked worriedly behind him.
The man suddenly paused in the middle of straightening his suit gracefully and turned to stare at her,
correcting her words, “Don’t use honorifics when you talk to me in the future.”
Ruka was rendered speechless. Was there anything wrong with respecting him?
“Got it.” She responded seriously.
“I still have to work, so you should go back to your room and rest.” After Ren finished speaking, he
immediately took off his suit jacket. Underneath, he was wearing an elegant three-piece suit that
consisted of trousers, a shirt, and a vest. The suit made his body look slender, handsome, and strong,
and it didn’t seem like he was in bad health at all.
When Ruka went back to the room, she wondered how Victoria would feel when she found out that she
was holding Elijah in the end.
After taking a bath, she lay on the bed and skimmed through a book. Though its contents were
educational and important, she just couldn’t seem to learn anything as her mind was full of what
Victoria had said earlier. She was forced to wonder if the consequences were really that serious.

Just then, Ruka’s phone beeped with a notification from a text message. When she picked it up, she
saw it was from her mother.
Ruka, are you asleep? I heard that you’re staying in Mr. Husson’s house. You have to know your
manners and follow the rules. Don’t disturb his work and his life, all right?’
Ruka pursed her lips into a smile as she replied, ‘Mom, I haven’t slept yet! Let’s talk over the phone
instead!
Soon, her mother, Claire Belmont, called her. Ruka answered the call. “Hello, Mom?”
“I thought you were asleep! It’s already ten. Why haven’t you slept yet? How’s your work?”
“I’m still an intern. Mom, when are you and Dad coming back?”
“We have eight days of holiday for Christmas this year, so your dad and I decided to come back to
spend it with you.”
At her words, Ruka counted the date and said happily, “There’s still half a month until Christmas!”
“Yes, so we’re planning to head back home. Oh, that’s right, now that you’re staying in Mr. Husson’s
house, you have to always be careful. You can’t disturb his work.”
“Don‘t worry! I’ll be careful.”
“Yeah. Mr. Husson treats us well. When he went abroad last time, he came to us for an
examination. Not only did he care about your dad and I, but he also brought us a lot of gifts. We were
very moved.” Claire’s tone was full of gratefulness.
