Chapter 1262
Angela smiled and turned to give Ruka a small wave, but that was when she caught the latter looking
bashfully at Ren as though she was gazing at someone she loved. There was even a telltale blush on
her checks
Blinking, Angela quickly stole a glance at Ren. He was smiling ever so slightly, and his gaze was gentle
when he met Ruka’s eyes. No, there’s something more in his gaze than just familial affection, Angela
realized with shock.
She was sensitive by nature, and at that moment, she felt as if she had discovered something
unbelievable.
With renewed urgency, she tightened her grip on Richard’s hand and began to drag him out of the sun
room. He sensed that she was eager to leave, but he wasn’t sure why.
Wrapping an arm around her waist, he asked quietly, “What’s wrong?”
She shook her head vehemently, “Nothing.”
She was lying, and he could tell. The fact that she seemed to know something that he didn’t was
frustrating. What is she being so secretive about?
“You go ahead. I need to use the washroom. See you in a bit!” Angela announced suddenly, then
hurried over to the washroom. She was still trying to regain composure after witnessing that brief,
groundbreaking moment in the sun room earlier.
Ruka and Ren… She thought about Ruka’s conflicted expression when they were talking about their
love lives earlier. Now that she thought about it, Ren was only in his early thirties. He was handsome,
accomplished, and had all the makings of an eligible bachelor, which he was. More to the point, Ruka
was in the prime of her youth, so it wasn’t so surprising that these two had found love in each other.
As she went on to think about this, Angela began to worry. Maybe… Maybe Ruka will become
Richard’s aunt one day!
The idea of that was explosive, to say the least, but it was in no way unnerving. Within seconds, Angela
found herself rooting for the couple.
While this was happening, Sophie was still making small talk with Charlotte when she suddenly sensed
someone coming in from the annex. She looked up at the entryway and froze.
The man who had just walked into the room was not Ren, but he was just as handsome. There was an
athletic air about him, and he seemed younger than Ren. Sophie felt her throat run dry as she stared at
him. Are all the Husson men this good looking? Who is he?
She wanted to find out more about him, and in her mind, she was already thinking of a contingency
plan. She was determined to find a way to marry into the prestigious Husson Family whether Ren had
any interest in her or not.
