Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 1181-1190

“Please, just let me perform. I put in a lot of effort for this. I…” Sophie tried to put up one last fight.

However, the director did not waver. “I’m sorry, but the adjustments have been made.”

Sophie and her assistant left through the corridor. She stood in the shadows, staring at Ruka who was seated right beside Ren, then she clenched her teeth. She didn’t expect crossing Ruka would mean the loss of her career.

The performance was a success, and Ruka was in a good mood. The woman she despised didn’t show up after all.

It was half past nine when the show came to an end. She was tired from watching it. Ruka rested her head on Ren’s shoulder and drifted to sleep while they were on their way home.

She didn’t wake up even when they got home, so Ren took her inside himself.

Ruka had woken up when Ren picked her up, but she pretended to be asleep anyway. I can have a good night’s sleep. Yay, me. No hunky dory tonight.

That was her plan, at least. She kept pretending to be asleep when Ren was taking her coat and socks off. She lay in his arms, wearing nothing but a layer of clothes.

When Ren finally went into the bathroom, she heaved a sigh of relief and actually drifted to sleep. Ruka even continued her dream.

Vaguely, she felt the edge of the bed moving downward, and then she felt someone pulling her into his warm embrace. Her face was stuck to his chest, and she jolted awake.

“I-I was already asleep,” she muttered. Show me a little respect, will you?

“Just go to sleep and ignore me.” He chuckled. He made it sound like he wouldn’t be affected even if she was asleep.

Ruka’s face was red as an apple. She could taste his scent in the air. Guess I can’t run away tonight. She wrapped her arms around his waist and tried to talk sense into him while he had some left.

“I’m tired. Just get it over with, alright?”

Ren smirked. Just get it over with? Oh my sweet summer child. “I’ll try to finish as soon as possible,” he said.

“Dr. Silas said you can’t do this too much after you just healed, or it’s gonna be bad for your body.” Ruka’s phone rang right after that.

She picked it up and was surprised to see that Jethro was the one calling. Why is he calling me?

“Don’t take the call,” Ren said imperiously.

Ruka put her phone back on the table and turned silent mode on. Ren pulled her into his embrace. “Block all the guys’ numbers. I don’t want them calling you.”

He was obviously jealous.

He was obviously jealous.

Ruka blinked. She didn’t realize he was jealous. “I’ve slept with you. You don’t have to mind them.”

Still, Ren couldn’t forget the fact that Ruka said she liked Jethro before. He pressed his forehead against hers and asked, “Still can’t forget about him?”

Whoops. This is serious. It won’t be easy dealing with a jealous Ren. “I’ll del… I mean block his number.” She was motivated now. I didn’t expect him to be a jealous guy.

“Do it tomorrow.”

He then leaned in for a fierce kiss; apparently, the guy wanted to vent a little. The kiss eventually suffocated her and turned her face beet-red. I should stay quiet, or he’s gonna do something wilder.

“You’re gonna forget every other guy and only have eyes for me, got it?” he whispered into her ear and nibbled on it.

Ruka cupped his chin, the love in her eyes overflowing. “You’re the only one I care about now.”

Ren smiled happily, and she blinked at him. “Can we just sleep in peace?”

“Do you think we can do that at this point?” He pulled her into his embrace so she could feel him. “You’re worried I might exhaust myself? Well, I’ll show you how inexhaustible I am.”

The room became hot and heavy as Ruka heard him say, “I love you, Ruka.”

The lady was too dizzy to even form a reply.

Friday arrived not too long after. A simple wedding was held in a tightly secured hotel. There were less than a hundred guests there.

Richard was the groom, and Angela was the bride. Annie was the bridesmaid, while Jared was the best man.

Two pairs of couples stood out among the crowd. Elliot and Anastasia were there with their son. Arthur and Sophie were there as well. Sophie’s belly was starting to bulge. She was already five months pregnant.

It wasn’t every day they could meet up. Even so, their friendship would never change.

Arthur patted Richard’s shoulder. He congratulated, “Congrats, Richard.”

“So, when’s your turn to hold a wedding?”

“Back home? After Sophie gives birth.” Arthur respected Sophie’s wishes to wait until she had given birth. She wanted to see herself in a beautiful gown, and she wanted their child to witness the marriage.

Arthur was actually worried his friend would be single for life before this. Fate finds a way, huh?

Richard took his friends to meet up with Ren. The men were outstanding enough to attract everyone’s attention. The ladies who had the privilege to join this wedding felt their hearts flutter just looking at them. To their mild frustration, they realized that all these men were taken, and their partners were gorgeous. They wished they could find a man who would look at them like they were the best things in life as well.

Ruka wanted to be the bridesmaid, but she wasn’t single anymore, so…

They went through with the whole wedding process. Angela was the prettiest woman on that day, and Richard even changed his usual demeanor for once. He was smiling all the way. He was the happiest man on Earth right now.

All of Richard’s men were there too. They witnessed how this love began, and now they would witness how it evolved. As the couple walked down the red carpet hand in hand, the men could remember how their first meeting went. She was someone he had to protect, while he was engaged to someone else. They met each other a little late in life, but their love was unstoppable.

Angela was pregnant, so Richard was almost holding her in his embrace all the way. He refused to let her drink even one drop of wine.

Phillip, his wife, Harold, and Charlotte took up a table. They felt rueful but happy at the same time. After all, Phillip’s grandson was getting married, and he would be blessed with a grandkid soon.

Ren and Ruka were at a table on the Husson side of the venue. There were a lot of ladies there, and they were astonished by how majestic Ren was. They liked him, but all they could do was admire him from afar.

Richard was the most handsome guy that night. He was now a husband and would soon be a father. Meanwhile, Angela’s family were crying tears of joy. They were happy their daughter married the right man.

The wedding ran from nine in the morning to nine at night. The guests could feel the love in the air as they bore witness to the sanctity of love and marriage.

Anastasia and Sophie had become the best of friends, and they took a great liking to Angela too. From then on, these ladies would be the strongest supporters of one another.

Night fell, and a hint of lust crept into the air.

Ruka had a bit too much to drink. Angela introduced her to yet another pair of capable, gorgeous ladies today, so she took drinking a bit too far. It wasn’t until she was about to go home did she realize the alcohol was kicking in. Her head was woozy, and her cheeks were burning. I’m getting tipsy.

Ren got in the car as well. He met and greeted a lot of people tonight, so he had some to drink too. His face was pink, but his alcohol tolerance was high and he wasn’t even tipsy.

He noticed Ruka massaging her forehead. Ren leaned over and asked with concern, “Had too much to drink? Does your head hurt?” He pressed his palm against her forehead.

She blinked, trying to clear the fog in her mind. He’s so hot today. All the bigshots kept raising toasts to him, and he just handled them like it’s nothing. He’s so smart and charming. He was already hers, but her heart still fluttered for him. He’s so hot. “Honey, you’re really hot tonight. I love you,” she confessed to him thanks to liquid courage.

Ren smiled, and dimples formed on his cheeks. The divider in the car rose. What would happen in the backseat would stay in the backseat, and there was no need for the driver to overhear it. Besides, she’s tipsy now. If she does anything… inappropriate, it’s for my eyes only.

Ruka started moving around. She cupped his chin and brushed her finger across his face. Eventually, she played with his dimple.

“You’re so handsome,” she praised. Ruka puckered her lips and kissed his cheek.

Ren watched her lovingly as she got handsy with him. He liked to see her doing what she wanted sometimes. All he could see was her.

Ruka started yawning when they were almost home. Ren noticed that. He looked up from his iPad and put it down, then he patted her head. She looked at him languidly.

“We’re almost home. Wake up,” he whispered.

Oh, we’re getting home soon. She nodded. “Alright, I’ll stay up. I’ll sleep after I get back home.” I don’t want him taking me to the bedroom. He’s still hurt.

Ruka didn’t realize that Ren was smirking. If she falls asleep, I can’t do it with her. I need to keep her awake and wait for my chance.

Ruka got out of the car and went into the living room. She told Ren, “I’m getting a shower, then I’m going to bed.”

Rent took his coat off, revealing the tight, dark vest that fitted him snugly. He looked really fit and had one of the best bodies around.
