My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1177
‘She’s an exceptional girl,” Ren responded flatly as he poured a cup of tea for Harold.
“Ren, there’s a saying that one must honor one’s parents.” Harold continued, “Your mom and I aren’t getting any younger. We have nothing more to ask of you except that you settle down and start a family.” These words had become tiresome after repeated so often, but he still found himself saying them whenever he saw Ren.
Ren nodded and replied, “I’ll think about settling down.”
“Really?” Harold’s eyes sparkled. “Yes. Ideally within a year,” Ren stated solemnly.
Harold breathed a sigh of relief. It appears that Charlotte chose the right girl this time! Ren has only met Miss Liamson once, and he’s already planning to marry her.
Now that he had received the desired response, the old man appeared relaxed and changed the subject. “In that case, you should concentrate on the next election. You’re still highly regarded by the general public, so there is hope that you will be re-elected.”
He was overjoyed that his son’s political career was taking off and had reached heights that he had not been able to achieve during his prime. He could only hope such glory would be passed down through the generations.
However, Ren frowned slightly and pointed out, “I’m just going to go with the flow, Dad. To be honest, I’m not too concerned about the election.”
“All you have to do is keep up the good work, and everything will work out in your favor, Harold responded, and hist ambition was evident in his eyes. “Your political achievements are more than enough to ensure your re-election. You’re not getting cold feet all of a sudden, are you?”
Ren’s brows furrowed as he answered in a low voice, “No.”
Ruka looked like a princess straight out of a fairytale, with her glossy ebony hair and delicate features. Her ethereal beauty set her apart from all the other girls Levi had met.
He exchanged a brief glance with his mother, indicating that the evening was off to a good start. Then, the parents exchanged pleasantries and made small talk. Levi noticed the empty seat beside Ruka and occupied it while offering to pour her tea.
In contrast, Ruka could tell how much Claire wanted her to get along with this man. She did her best to conceal her exasperation. The dinner was set-up just as she had suspected.
She wondered if her parents indeed had so little faith in her ability to find a husband that they would take matchmaking into their own hands. Did they ever consider how awkward this is for me?
When Levi’s parents asked Ruka what she did for a living, Claire cheerfully replied, “She works in the translation department.”
