Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman ) novel Chapter 1188

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1188

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.

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.
