Chapter 1331
Ruka’s eyes widened. We’re not married yet but he bought a house for my parents already?
“That’s too much!” Ruka felt a little overwhelmed.
“It’s only right for me to arrange a better living situation for my in–laws,” Ren said with a smile. “I’ll send
you back before Christmas so you can spend the festive season with them too.”
Ruka was touched. She was overjoyed that her parents would be staying in a better place now. As they
worked abroad most of the time, they decided against getting a new house and opted to save the
money for her to use once she got married instead. Her father once declared that he was going to
make sure she had a grand wedding.
Dinner was served and all three of them sat down at the dining table together. Elijah took the
opportunity to pull out his iPad and amend Ren’s itinerary for tomorrow. Yet again, Ren had a full
schedule and Ruka felt like she could scarcely breathe just hearing how much that had to be done!
Furthermore, this schedule had been fixed two weeks in advance. Elijah was only doing some minor
adjustments the day before.
Ruka glanced sympathetically at Ren. If only she had the ability to help him. She wished she could take
on some of his work on his behalf, but she could not do anything else apart from feel sorry for him, and
she felt rather helpless because of this.
Elijah left after dinner, and the servants also took their leave once they were done cleaning up. Ren,
Ruka, and the little cat were the only ones left in the enormous house.
Ren headed to his study. As for Ruka, she took a shower and then started playing with the cat, Callie,
in the living area on the second floor. It was nearly ten at night when it curled up on the couch to sleep.
Ruka kept on flitting the cat toy around until she became drowsy as well. Her head started tilting
forward, and she fell asleep on the couch as well.
When Ren stepped out of his study at half past ten, he walked past the living area on the second floor
and saw the young woman and the cat sleeping there. His heart softened at the sight of them.
He decided against waking her up right now. Instead, he took a blanket and draped it over her before
heading back to his room for a shower. Twenty minutes later, he came out dressed in a pair of black
pajamas.
After staring at Ruka for a few seconds, he bent down and kissed her on the forehead before carrying
her up.
