Sophie was hit hard. She was confident that her conditions were excellent in all aspects, but in front of this man, was her excellence worth mentioning?
“Ren, you just don’t know me yet. I’m not as bad as you think,” she added without giving up.
“There is a woman I like and want to marry, so you don’t have to pester me anymore. Please leave!” After saying that, he opened the door for her and forced Sophie to leave with a cold look on his face.
Feeling extremely hurt, she walked to the door, but when she was about to turn back and say something, the door slammed shut.
She then bit her lip, feeling aggrieved and unwilling. She then took a seat on the chair in the corridor without intending to leave. Meanwhile, Ruka’s legs went a little stiff after hiding behind the curtains, so Ren quickly drew the curtains and pulled her out.
Ruka threw herself into his arms at once. She had heard his cold rejection toward Sophie with her own ears. How could she doubt his feelings anymore?
Ren then brought her to the couch. Ruka raised her head and looked at the man, who had always been extremely gentle to her but acted absolutely cruel to other women.
“What’s wrong?” Ren blinked, for the way she stared at him made him a little flustered. In response, she pursed her red lips and shook her head.
“Are you afraid that I’ll be that cruel to you in the future?” Ren expressed her worries in a hoarse voice. Ruka wanted to say she was afraid, but she didn’t want to express her distrust of him so directly, so she shook her head again.
The three years he spent at his sister’s house was the happiest of his entire childhood and adolescence. Even after he left their house, he never forgot about Ruka.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Ruka noticed that the man had been staring at her for a long time.
Ren curled his lips into a smile, caressed her face with his big palm, and pressed his thin lips against her red ones before confessing in a raspy voice, “That’s because I love you.”
He coldly refused another woman earlier but confessed to her affectionately right now. Ruka felt a little light-headed. Even if she was the one being kissed, she returned his kiss and hugged his neck.
