Chapter 1162

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.

Didn’t she know how dangerous that act was?

He stretched out a hand and held Ruka’s head in place as he leaned toward her. He did not give her

any time to react before kissing her. It was punishing, and he felt himself drown in the sweetness of her

mouth, which mingled with the taste of the cream, and he only released her when he felt her smear

some cream on his face.

Ruka was dazed from the kiss but then burst out laughing when she saw the cream on his face. When

the man wiped cream on her face in retaliation, she widened her eyes challengingly and swept some

cream off the cake. She was about to reciprocate when he caught her wrist and sucked the cream off

her fingers.

She felt her heart flutter at the action. How could he Ren smiled and praised, “It’s so sweet!”

She thought she might become insane from this. She had been playing around, yet now she was

utterly out of her depth. She withdrew her hand immediately, still feeling the fading heat of her tongue

on her fingers. He realized that he must have scared her and said immediately, “Alright, that’s enough.

Go have a bath so you can open the presents.”

She handed him a tissue. “You too!”

“Okay!” He nodded. “You can go first.”

As Ruka couldn’t eat any longer, she rose to her feet and went for a bath upstairs. If she didn’t leave,

her heart might leap out of her chest. Yet, despite that, she was so happy she felt like flying, unable to

think of anything else except him and his overflowing affection for her.

When she had finished with her bath, she went downstairs. She wore a long white dress and a

cardigan, and she looked as beautiful as a fae with her loose hair and pale skin..

Since Ren wasn’t in the living room, she settled on the couch and picked up one bouquet to smell the

light fragrance. It smelt very much like love and happiness.
