Chapter 1218
Ruka didn’t hesitate to make her wish because she only wanted one thing–to be with him. She blushed
and looked toward Ren when she was done, and he immediately knew what she had wished for. It
seemed that he didn’t need to worry about her reciprocating his feelings because it was already mutual.
She bent down to blow out the candles while he lit some scented candles and placed them off to one
side. The flickering flames made the atmosphere seem more intimate as she took a knife, cut the first
slice of cake, and served it to him on a plate. “Here, you can eat it first.”
He accepted the plate and sat beside her as he ate. She cut herself another slice thoughtfully, then
said, “We didn’t make Elijah stay for some cake.”
Ren stopped eating and said irritatedly, “You seem to think an awful lot about him.”
Ruka hunched her shoulders. He’s so good at being jealous, huh? I talked about his assistant twice,
and now he’s resentful?
“I think there’s too much cake, and it will be a waste if we don’t finish it,” she explained weakly.
“Fine, just waste it then,” he replied darkly. Only one man should be here with Ruka celebrating her
birthday, and that man was him.
She blinked once, knowing she couldn’t continue angering him. Therefore, she slowly enjoyed the cake
bit by bit, feeling happy as she tasted the sweet cream. However, she had gotten some of it on one
corner of her mouth, and when she turned to Ren, his gaze became darker at the sight. She realized it
immediately and licked it off, making his breath catch.
