Just then, Ruka’s phone beeped with a notification from a text message. When she picked it up, she
saw it was from her mother. ‘Ruka, are you asleep? I heard that you’re staying in Mr. Husson’s house.
You have to know your manners and follow the rules. Don’t disturb his work and his life, all right?’
Ruka pursed her lips into a smile as she replied, ‘Mom, I haven’t slept yet! Let’s talk over the phone
instead!’
Soon, her mother, Claire Belmont, called her. Ruka answered the call. “Hello, Mom?”
“I thought you were asleep! It’s already ten. Why haven’t you slept yet? How’s your work?” “I’m still an
intern. Mom, when are you and Dad coming back?”
“We have eight days of holiday for Christmas this year, so your dad and I decided to come back to
spend it with you.” At her words, Ruka counted the date and said happily, “There’s still half a month
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtuntil Christmas!”
“Yes, so we’re planning to head back home. Oh, that’s right, now that you’re staying in Mr. Husson’s
house, you have to always be careful. You can’t disturb his work.”
“Don’t worry! I’ll be careful.”
“Yeah. Mr. Husson treats us well. When he went abroad last time, he came to us for an examination.
Not only did he care about your dad and I, but he also brought us a lot of gifts. We were very moved.”
Claire’s tone was full of gratefulness.
Ruka’s chest tightened when she saw how much her parents respected him when she had just made
him so angry that his chest started hurting. At the thought, she couldn’t help but have a guilty
conscience.
“Ruka, you should sleep earlier and fight for a chance to stay in the Translation Department,” Claire
encouraged.
“Okay, I know, Mom. I’ll do my best.”
“Okay. Don’t stay up late now. Hurry up and sleep.” Saying that, Claire hung up the phone.
Ruka lay down on the bed with her face buried in the blanket. Her mind was full of Ren, and she didn’t
know what to do.
On one end, there was what Victoria had said to her, and on the other hand, there was her parents’
respect for Ren. How could she catch feelings for him? Ah, whatever! Ruka felt that she had no
resistance for Ren at all. Just two kisses
from him had made her completely forget about her one-sided crush that had lasted three years.
However, he was just so charming that it was shocking. If he was a little more aggressive, Ruka felt
that she would only let down her guard.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo woman could resist this man making a move on them, let alone a naive girl like her. When she sat
up, her face was flushed, and she didn’t know if she was nervous or if it was something else, but she
suddenly had the urge to head outside for a drink.
She didn’t know if it would disturb Ren’s rest either. Ruka thought about the last time she bumped into
him when she went downstairs for a drink and was immediately kissed by him in the hallway.
She wondered if the same would happen if she bumped into him again this time. However, if she didn’t
drink any water, how would she be able to sleep that night? She might even start looking for some
water in her sleep.
Ruka suddenly felt that she was being ridiculous. Why was she so afraid of him? Suddenly, she came
up with another idea.
