Chapter 1252
“Alright, it’s getting late. You should go to bed,” Ren said.
Ruka refused to succumb to the drowsiness and insisted childishly. “No, I want you to sing again.
Please?”
He could never refuse her when she was in such a state, so he agreed to sing the lullaby avain Frankly,
she had no idea wly or how she had let her inner child show itself to him. She could be painfully
independent and mature, but with Ren, who indulged her whims and cherished her unconditionally, sic
knew she could let down her guard without fear. It was as if a part of her understood that he could
make any exception for her because she was special to him.
Ruka dreamed of him that night with lewd images that she could not recall without embarrassment and
slept in the following day. Claire let her of the hook because it was the holidays.
Meanwhile, Claire received a call from Scarlet that afternoon to inform her that she and her husband
had just returned to the country. Then, Scarlet invited Claire and her family to the Ilusson Residence for
a meal.
Claire was excited to see her old friend and immediately accepted the invitation. Ruka nearly choked
on her water when she brought this up during lunch. Ruka could not believe they were actually going to
the Husson Residence, which had taken on new meaning now that she was seeing Ren romantically-in
secret, no less.
Claire asserted solemnly, “Ruka, we’re going shopping later. I need to get a new outfit for the
occasion.”
She nodded and said, “Okay.”
Claire and Scarlet were very close because she had saved her life while she was studying abroad. At
the time, the rullians smashed Scarlet’s car window and nearly robbed and assaulted her. In the end, it
was Claire who came to the rescue. She charged into danger with nothing but a Swiss army knife. She
drove away those ruffians, thereby sparing Scarlet from potentially fatal consequences.
