He did not argue with her and instead reached out to caress her face, where a red mark from her nap was still visible.

Ruka stiffened upon hearing this. His recent nightmare flashed before his eyes and sent a chill down his spine. She hugged him
tightly and confessed, “I'm a little worried.”
“Why? I'll be there,” Ren assured her as he looked at her.

He nodded. “I hope to have you and your parents as my guests.”
Ruka sighed. It seems that sthings are simply inevitable, he thought with resignation. Secretly, he promised to take full blame
for any mishap. Please don’t let Ren take the blfor me.
“Okay,” she promised.
After that, Elijah took her hand Ren returned to his own place for dinner.
