Never Too Far Novel
Chapter 1111-1120
Charlotte personally rang up the Liamsons and asked to speak with Sophie.
After hearing the old lady’s invitation, Sophie beamed and thanked her graciously, then said she would be right over.
Meanwhile, Ren was still working at the White House. He had taken off his suit jacket earlier, and he looked noble as he read the documents on the couch, his dark waistcoat accentuating his lean waist and his legs elegantly crossed.
After taking off his suit jacket, he sat on the couch like a noble and read the documents with his dark waistcoat accentuating his lean waist and his legs elegantly crossed.
“Mr. Husson,” Elijah interrupted the silence. “It’s time to leave for the Husson Residence.”
Ren glanced at the time on his wristwatch and smiled at a sudden thought.
On the way to the Husson Residence, Ruka fished out her phone to text Ren. She was inexplicably nervous even though she had been to the Husson Residence countless times prior to this. ‘Are you there yet?’ she sent out a text.
Ren’s reply was swift. ‘I’m on my way.’
The fact that he had wasted no time in answering her reassured her somehow. She couldn’t help grinning, feeling warm and fuzzy inside as she huddled in the corner of the backseat, letting her parents’ conversation become white noise.
‘I’m on my way too,’ she texted back. Then, she lifted her phone up to a slightly more flattering angle and snapped a picture of herself. She sent it to him and followed up with another picture of her making a funny face.
‘Cute,’ he praised wholeheartedly.
She pursed her lips to keep her smile from becoming too wide. ‘See you at your place.’
‘I’ll try to reach before you do so that I can wait for you by the door.’
Ruka was practically buzzing with happiness as she read this, feeling like a child that had gotten all the candy in the world.
Moments later, Ruka and her family arrived at the Husson Residence. At the same time, Scarlet and Walter pulled up behind them.
She got out of the car and headed for the front door with her parents, then looked up to see the tall and straight figure standing by the door.
Ren was dressed in a dark-colored suit, his hair styled in his usual swept-back quiff. He looked proper and charming, not to mention imposing.
Ruka thought her heart would fly out of her chest. He’s actually waiting for me by the door! She could feel his gaze on her even at this distance, and to keep herself from melting into a puddle, she turned her face away so that she wouldn’t have to meet his eyes.
“Scarlet, Walter,” Ren greeted jovially, his deep voice resonating in the crisp, chilly air.
Ruka heard her parents greet with utmost respect, “It’s been a while, Mr. Husson.”
Smiling, he replied, “Good day, Mr. and Mrs. Singed.”
Robert and Vanya almost fainted. This was a surreal experience for them. To be greeted by a man of such power and status was a great honor they had not anticipated.
“Ruka, greet Uncle Ren,” Vanya urged, hastily pushing her daughter forward as though terrified that Ruka might come off as rude in front of the vice president.
Just like that, Ruka found herself standing before Ren. She looked up and gazed into his eyes, which glittered with wicked amusement. In her most polite voice, she said, “Good day, Uncle Ren.”
His dimple flashed as he gave her a deliciously roguish smile before nodding and saying, “Hello, Ruka.”
“Come on, Vanya, let’s go in!” Scarlet reached out and pulled Vanya through the front door.
Vanya, in turn, grabbed Ruka by the arm and said, “Hurry up, Ruka. You must greet Mr. and Mrs. Husson!”
Ruka turned to glance at Ren over her shoulder, and he merely nodded, silently telling her to go into the house to greet his parents.
He was just about to head through the door himself when he saw a black SUV pull up at the car porch. He stopped and waited for the people in the car to get down so he could do the polite thing and greet them.
The ones who came out of the vehicle were none other than Richard and Angela.
Richard took Angela by the hand and led her toward the house. This was her first time here, so she was understandably nervous. When she caught sight of the young and imposing man standing by the door, she instantly recognized him as Richard’s well-accomplished uncle.
Kinship showed itself in the most magical of ways. While Richard had gotten his looks from his mother, he still shared some resemblance with Ren.
“Uncle Ren,” Richard called out casually when they were drawing near the door.
Angela followed suit. “Good morning, Uncle Ren.”
Ren looked at them, smiling as he nodded in acknowledgment. “Good morning. Go on in. It’s getting chilly out here.”
Richard snaked an arm around Angela’s waist and guided her through the threshold. At once, they were greeted warmly by Scarlet.
Harold and Charlotte, on the other hand, were seated in the living room, excited to meet their granddaughter-in-law for the first time.
Harold waved Richard over to his side. He had been a rather absent grandfather while Richard was growing up, and they hardly saw each other outside of family events. The guilt built up over time, and now that Harold was in his old age, he wanted to salvage his relationship with his grandson.
Not long after, Scarlet beckoned Richard and Angela to the annex, then told one of the maids to bring Ruka in as well.
“Richard, meet Ruka,” Scarlet introduced.
This was the first time Ruka was meeting Scarlet’s son, but there was a sense of familiarity that made her feel at ease. She flashed him a smile and said, “It’s nice to meet you, Richard.”
“The pleasure’s all mine,” Richard said, having already accepted her as part of the family.
Scarlet gestured at the lady next to Richard and said to Ruka, “And let me introduce you to his wife, Angela.”
Angela had noticed the pretty girl named Ruka from the moment she walked in and figured that this was the goddaughter Scarlet had taken in. For some reason, both girls took an instant liking to each other.
“It’s nice to meet you, Angela,” Ruka greeted sweetly.
Angela’s heart warmed at this. She beamed as she reached out to hold the other girl’s hand, happy that she had gained a sister. “Don’t be a stranger, Ruka. Let’s go shopping and grab dinner sometime.”
“Okay,” Ruka replied good-naturedly, grinning.
Just then, Ren walked into the room. Ruka’s heart leaped to her throat when she saw him. A sudden thought crossed her mind, and her face grew hot. If I… If Ren and I get married one day, then I wouldn’t have to call him Uncle Ren in front of everyone anymore! Gosh, that’ll be shocking for the family!
“Ren, come over here. We don’t care that you’re vice president. Hang with us! We’re about to swap family stories,” Scarlet said, at once dismantling Ren’s vice president-mantel.
“Coming.” Ren was smiling as he walked over and stopped right next to Ruka. Her breath hitched at this unexpected proximity, and she took an instinctive step to the side. However, she did not realize that there was a heavy vase right next to her. She would have bumped into it had Ren not reached out in time to block the impact, and when he looked at her, his gaze was incredibly tender and loving.
No one else in the room caught this brief but intense moment, but Angela did. For a second, her heart nearly dropped to her stomach, and her eyes widened by a fraction as she thought, Did I imagine that or did that really happen?!
However, she hid her surprise and did not point it out, worried that she might be overreacting. For all she knew, Ren was only being protective over Ruka, like how a parent might be over a child.
“Miss Husson, you’ve been summoned by Mrs. Husson,” the maid said politely.
“Alright, then. Ren, stay here with the guests while I attend to our mother,” Scarlet said as she made a graceful exit.
Ren turned to look at Richard and said cordially, “Tell me what you’ve been up to, Richard!”
Upon hearing this, Richard gave Angela a small pat on the back. “Keep Ruka company. I’ll join you both shortly.”
Angela nodded. She linked arms with Ruka and suggested cheerily, “Shall we step aside for some girl talk?”
After leaving the annex, Angela and Ruka headed to the sun room and took their seats at the wrought-iron table.
Ruka propped her chin up with one hand and looked at Angela curiously, “Can you tell me how you and Richard met? You’re a businesswoman and he’s in the special forces. There must be an interesting backstory!”
Angela was more than happy to share. She glowed pink as she said, “Yes. Our story starts with lipstick.”
Just like that, Ruka found herself listening to one of the most heart-racing love stories, the premise of which was that Richard was tasked to keep Angela safe. They fell for each other while she was staying at the military base with him, and after confessing their feelings, it took them three months to make things official between them. The envy was clear on Ruka’s face when she heard this.
“What about you, Ruka? Is there someone you’ve got your eyes on?” Angela asked after she finished recounting her captivating love story, eager to gain some firsthand insight into Ruka’s love life.
Ruka looked up just in time to catch a glimpse of Ren’s figure by the annex window, which was just next to the sun room. The glass was a little foggy from the cold, but she could still make out his towering silhouette. It was funny how he stood so close by, but seemed so out of reach.
She pursed her lips and nodded shyly as she admitted, “There is someone special.”
“Really? What does he do for a living? Have you met each other’s parents yet?” Angela leaped into interrogation mode. She was ecstatic for Ruka. After all, there were few things in a girl’s life that could compete with the happiness of meeting her true love.
Ruka shook her head. “We haven’t told anyone that we’re dating.”
“Well, what’s the hurry? I’m sure your parents would approve of him if you really like him,” Angela said soothingly.
“I hope so too,” Ruka replied with a grin as her expectant gaze flickered over to the man by the window.
Just then, Angela peered through the window and saw a girl heading toward the annex from the car porch. “Who’s that?” she asked Ruka curiously.
Ruka finally took her eyes off Ren and followed Angela’s gaze. She saw a well-dressed young lady standing just outside the window, then shook her head slightly as she said, “I’m not sure.”
