Never Too Far Novel
Chapter 1101-1110
Ren read Ruka’s mind and said with a deep smile, “I’ll be back in about two days.”
Ruka nodded, and her phone rang at that moment. She picked up her phone and glanced at it. Then, she said, “It’s my mom.”
He motioned for the woman next to him to answer the phone while urging her, “Answer it!”
She answered the phone quickly and greeted, “Hey, Mom.”
“Ruka, what time do you get off work? I’m having a get-together dinner with some old friends. You should come and meet them as well.”
She agreed, “Okay. I’ll be home before 5.00PM.”
“Dress up nicely tonight.”
“Mom, why do I need to dress up?” Ruka questioned.
The question drew the man’s attention, and he cast a sidelong glance at her. Claire stressed in a serious tone on the other end of the line, “Just do as I say and don’t embarrass us, alright?”
Ruka smiled as she pursed her lips. “Alright. I got it.”
Ruka raised her head and looked the man in the eyes after she hung up the phone. Ren locked his gaze on her, and his expression was unfathomable.
She thought she had made a fool of herself as she ran her fingers through her hair and asked, “Why do you keep staring at me? Is there something on my face?”
“What would you do if your parents set you up on a blind date?” he asked her directly.
Ruka was startled for a moment before she recalled her mom’s advice about dressing up. Then, she responded with hindsight, “No way! Are my parents going to arrange a blind date for me tonight?”
Ren asked her coldly, “Are you looking forward to it?”
She erupted in laughter. “No! Are you already jealous before I’ve met another man?!”
When he reached out to take her hand, he immediately noticed the missing diamond ring on her finger. He asked with a frown, “Where’s the diamond ring?”
“Oh, I left it at home. I’m afraid I’ll lose it.” As soon as she replied, she felt guilty and lowered her head.
Ruka was worried about losing the diamond ring? Nah, obviously, she was terrified that someone would notice she was wearing a couple’s ring with him.
“Put the ring back on when you get home. If you lose it, we’ll get a new one,” the man demanded.
Ruka had no choice but to nod her head. “Alright. I’ll put it on when I get home.”
The way Ruka responded caused Ren’s facial expression to soften subtly. However, he did not release her hand and instead grasped it in his palm. Her heart skipped a beat when he grabbed her hand. She experienced a rapid heartbeat and flushed cheeks. In addition, she felt sparks fly from his gesture.
“From now on, say goodnight to me before going to bed every night. Did you know that I was waiting for your call last night?” Ren asked in a low voice. He could not fall asleep because she was not at his home.
She was left speechless as she pondered, Does he really wait for my message? She did not send him a message because she did not intend to bother him late at night.
“Okay, I’ll say good night to you before I go to bed.” Ruka nodded. Providing he does not find my message bothersome.
“I’m going to get some work done now. You can rest by my side while I complete my work.” Ren did not want to let her go, so he kept her close to him.
Anyway, Ruka was delighted to accompany him. She grabbed a book to read when she noticed a small bookshelf in a corner.
Meanwhile, Victoria was in her office and having a bad day. She thought that when Ruka left, she would feel better, but it seemed that Ruka’s sudden departure made her feel even more upset.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and she snapped, “Who is it?”
“Miss Parfait, Elijah is here,” the assistant said in a meticulous tone as she pushed open the door.
Victoria tensed up and took a deep breath. She said with a smile, “Please invite him inside.”
When Elijah entered the room, she could not contain her excitement. “What brings you here, Elijah?”
He looked at her calmly and said, “Miss Parfait, I’m here to relay a few words from Mr. Husson to you.”
“What does he say?” Victoria worriedly inquired. Does he know that I’m the one who made Ruka leave?
“Miss Parfait, Mr. Husson would like to inform you that if you want your dad to retire comfortably and enjoy his golden years, you’d better be careful and stop abusing your power to bully others,” Elijah said in a calm voice that belied the underlying threat in his words.
Victoria’s expression changed. “What is he going to do to my dad?”
“The point is what you did to Miss Singed. Miss Parfait, you’re a wise woman. You have to understand how important Miss Singed is to Mr. Husson.”
“Who the hell is Ruka? Is Ren blind? Which part of me is inferior to hers?” There was an intense resentment in her eyes. Elijah noticed the malice on her face and the hatred in her eyes. He replied indifferently, “I believe Miss Singed is much better than you in terms of being kind and open-minded.”
Victoria took a deep breath, and her face turned pale. She raised her head to look at Elijah and questioned, “Is he threatening me? Why is he doing this?”
“You’ve crossed a line that’s very important to Mr. Husson, and Miss Singed is that line. Miss Parfait, you’d better keep an eye on yourself. You should have known better about Mr Husson’s character. After giving you a warning, he will act on it. He clearly has leverage over your father after all these years. As long as he issues orders, your father will be unable to escape. In terms of your position, he can easily remove you from it if he desires.” Elijah’s last words were clear and cold.
Victoria slumped back in her seat as Elijah turned around and left. Does Ren have to treat me with such hostility because of Ruka? She suddenly came to her senses at this moment. What kind of person have I fallen in love with? When does Ren become so cold and inhuman after a disagreement with me? All my feelings for him over the years must have been in vain. Victoria’s tears streamed down her cheeks, and she buried her sorrow by covering her face. At that moment, she could not wait to cast a curse on Ruka so that she would vanish or leave this world. Then, Ren would never get the woman he loved and suffered as much as she did.
Ruka sat in a room heated by a radiator while reading a book. Since she had trouble sleeping the night before, the warmth caused her to feel drowsy. She had briefly sat before shifting to a prone position to read. Her eyes fought to stay open as she dozed off gently on her arm, but she managed to steal a peek at the man who was reading the documents.
After Ren signed a document, he looked up and saw her sleeping on her stomach on the couch. He felt something tug at his heartstrings. This scene appears to be familiar. A similar sight happened many years ago.
While he worked on quiz questions at the desk, a young child who was tired from playing fell asleep on the couch while holding her book. Her cute little face was tender, and her long eyelashes were unbelievably attractive. The young child slept as peacefully and beautifully as Ruka did at the moment. One could not resist showering her with love and care.
Ren stood up and strode to the clothes rack, picked up one of his trench coats and walked to the couch. Then, he gently draped it over Ruka’s body. He could not help but stoop and gently peck her on the forehead.
Elijah returned ten minutes later. When he opened the door, the man at the table motioned for him to keep quiet. He glanced over at the girl falling asleep on the couch before he left the room.
Ruka was sleeping soundly at the moment, which drove the man who read the document to lose his mind. His gaze returned to her face, and his mind began to waver.
The hours ticked by slowly until it was almost 5.00PM when Ren felt a vibration from his phone. When he looked down to check the caller ID, he picked up the phone and went outside to answer the call.
“Hey, Mom,” Ren answered gently.
“Ren, can you come home tonight for dinner? I’m already missing you.”
“Sure. I’ll be back.”
“OK. I’ll ask Janet to cook your favorite dishes,” Mrs. Husson exclaimed happily.
Ren pushed open the door to the lounge after he hung up the phone. All of a sudden, Ruka woke up. She blinked her sleepy eyes and asked the man who entered, “What time is it, Mr. Ren? Why did I doze off?”
As soon as she finished her sentence, she became aware of the slight dampness at the corner of her lips and quickly covered it in embarrassment. Did she drool while sleeping on her stomach just now?
Ren was used to her cute gestures and was not bothered by them. That was because Ruka had been like this since she was a child.
It was 5.30PM when Ruka took her phone out of her bag. She gaped at the time and said, “I should go.”
“I’ll drop you off,” Ren offered.
“It’s alright. Elijah can do it,” she turned him down and shook her head. The idea that he would drop her off at her home was intimidating.
He did not argue with her and instead reached out to caress her face, where a red imprint from her nap was still visible.
Ruka allowed him to caress her face all he wanted. She wrapped her arms around his waist and nuzzled against his chest in an audacious move. However, she was still groggy from sleep and desired nothing more than to snooze in his arms for a bit longer.
He gently stroked her hair and murmured, “Scarlet will be home in two days. You and your parents should drop by for family dinner.”
Ruka stiffened upon hearing this. Her recent nightmare flashed before her eyes and sent a chill down her spine. She embraced him tightly and confessed, “I’m a little worried.”
“Why? I’ll be there,” Ren reassured her as he gazed at her.
