At half past five that evening. When Ruka heard the sound of a car approaching the front of the house,
she jogged to the door to greet him. As soon as Ren got out of the car, she flung herself into his arms
without wasting a second. longer.
Ren held her steady with his long arms. and kissed her head. Meanwhile, Elijah opened the trunk and
took out the little kitten Ruka had been thinking of.
“Mr. Husson got someone to look after the kitten, but it’s yours to care for now, Miss Singed. We’ve
brought the food and supplies as well.”
Ruka took the little cutie out of the carrier and the kitten began to meow weakly in her arms. Her heart
melted at the sight. “It’s so cute! Let’s raise it together!”
Ren nodded and agreed with an indulgent expression, “Sure. Raise it together.”
“Both you and the cat,” he added. Ruka’s cheeks flushed red. Thankfully, Elijah and the bodyguards
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthad cleared off. Her heart felt warm and fuzzy as she said, “I’ll raise the cat and you can raise me.
“It’s a deal.” They walked into the house with the kitten in her arms, and she in his.
While Ruka stayed in the living room to play with the cat, Ren and Elijah headed into the study. The
atmosphere started to get a little tense.
“Sir, do you mean that Orson won’t use your relationship with Miss Singed against you?”
“I know what his tendencies are. He won’t harp on this matter, and he knows that even if he exposed
my relationship with Ruka, it won’t affect my chances during the elections. However, Ruka will become
his target instead,” Ren stated gravely.
“Alright. I understand. From now on, we’ll need to keep Miss Singed and her family safe.” Elijah
nodded. Ren’s family was well-protected, so now, Ruka was his weakness.
“Use as many men as needed. Make sure
that Ruka and her family remain safe,” Ren instructed. “I will, Sir. Oh, by the way, Miss Parfait has been
taken in for a meeting. She will be resigning next week.”
The feasting carried on today as the festive mood lingered. Elijah stayed late for work and thus joined
them for dinner.
Ruka sat on the couch and played with the little kitten in her lap. It had gotten a proper shower at the
pet store, so its fur was clean and smooth to the touch. She was pretty sure that it was one of the most
gorgeous cats alive.
She smiled when she saw the two men coming downstairs. As soon as Ren stepped onto the landing,
the cat leaped. out of her arms and ran over to him. He stopped and it started climbing up his pants to
try and snuggle in his arms.
Ren had a smile on his face as he crouched down to pick the kitten up. Ruka felt like a giddy school girl
again when she saw this. It was adorable in an odd way to see him hugging a cat.
He carried himself with an air of dominance, but having a cat in his arms softened his intimidating aura
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand added a touch of gentleness to him. Any young woman who saw him right now would wish to be
the cat in his arms!
Ruka could not help but recall the way she used to fantasize about being a cat in his arms. She
blushed at the thought. Dreams were worth having after all. Who knew if they might come true one
day?
Ren sat down on the couch with the cat still nestled against him. He looked a lot more relaxed as his
fingers combed through the cat’s fur. He turned to the young woman beside him and said, “Your
parents will be moving to a new house tomorrow.”
“Huh? Did Mom and Dad buy a house?” Ruka was taken aback. Why did they not tell her?
“Miss Singed, they did not buy a house. Mr. Husson is the one who prepared the house that they’ll be
moving into.” Elijah explained from the side.
