Charlotte kept her eye on Ren throughout the meal. When she noticed that he was done with his soup,
she filled his bowl up again. “Drink up. Don’t let it go to waste! This soup was made just for you. Ruka
and I don’t like it that much.”
“Alright.” Ren did not want his mother’s efforts to go to waste, so he drank three bowls in a row. He was
too stuffed for a fourth, so Charlotte finally stopped topping up his bowl.
After finishing up, Ren tried to get Charlotte to stay till dinner, but she seemed to be in some sort of
rush as she declined.
“I have things I need to take care of so I’ll head off now. Ruka can keep you company!” Charlotte said
before holding Ruka’s hand. “Ruka, take good care of Ren, okay? Make sure he doesn’t spend all his
time working. Since he’s taking a break, he should spend his time with you instead.”
“Yes, I will, Mrs. Husson.” Ruka nodded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Oh, hush. Don’t call me Mrs. Husson. It sounds so formal. You should start calling me Mom instead,”
Charlotte chuckled. She was thrilled to have such a beautiful and captivating young woman as her
daughter-in-law.
Ruka was a little shy, but she called out in her clear, dulcet tones, “Mom.” “What a sweet girl! I’m sure
Mrs. Husson is over the moon right now,” the female butler commented with a smile.
Ren looked on fondly as well. Charlotte turned to leave once she finished saying her goodbyes. After
seeing her off until the car drove out of the driveway, Ren exhaled in relief. He felt a tinge of soreness
around his wounded area from moving his arm too much.
Ruka noticed the slight frown on his face. She quickly came over and held him. “Is it painful? I’ll help
you up so you can rest.”
Ren allowed her to take him upstairs. It was blistering cold outside, but right now, as he walked into the
air-conditioned environment inside, he felt unusually warm. He pulled his sweater collar down a little.
Ruka helped him to the bedroom. He sat down on the bed and glanced at her svelte frame. All at once,
his throat felt parched and he seemed to lose himself to his instincts as he reached out to pull her into
his arms.
She fell onto him and he grabbed her head before pinning her down on the bed. Ruka’s mind went
blank for several seconds. He’s injured! He shouldn’t be twisting around like that!
“What are you… Mmph!” His lips crashed into hers because she could finish her sentence. Ruka
sensed his domineering aura enveloping her. It was as if he had honed in on his prey, and her heart
jumped.
What’s gotten into him? It’s still the afternoon right now! “I want you, Ruka…” He set her lips free and
began to roam down her neck and collarbones, leaving a trail of kisses behind.
Ruka’s face turned scarlet. Oh my goodness! He’s gone mad…
“Ren…” Ruka bit her lip and tried to push him off. She could feel her body heating up as it welcomed

However, something seemed to have gotten into Ren. His reason had been overtaken by his animal
instincts, and even though he felt the searing pain from his wound that seemed to extend to his heart,
he could not care about anything else anymore. All he could think of was Ruka. He was a predator
whose eyes were locked on its prey. The only goal he had right now was to quell the hunger he had for
her.
“N-No. We can’t. You’ll get hurt…” Ruka tried to protest, but Ren had taken his top off, and his
muscular body was on display.
Ruka blinked. She did not know what to do. He’s not listening to Dr. Silas’ instructions. “Ruka… I want
you so bad.” Ren was bent over kissing her slender neck.
“I’ll count to three. If you don’t agree to it, then I’ll stop…” He gave her a final out. Ruka was just about
to say no out of consideration for his injury, but before she could respond, he said, “Three… Time’s up.”
She was dumbstruck.
