Chapter 1323

Ren bent down and kissed her ruby-red lips. “Be a good girl and sleep first.”

Ruka wanted more, so she put her arms around his neck and kissed him. Ren’s breath caught in his throat. Whenever she made

the first move, he felt like he was being tested within an inch of his life.

She felt a little shy after the kiss, but her heart swelled with fondness when she saw his loving eyes. “Don’t stay up working too

late, or I'd be upset.”

“lI won't,” Ren promised.

After seeing him off, Ruka realized that she was not sleepy yet, so she continued reading the news. She had no interest in current

events in the past, but now, she studied each article carefully.

As soon as Ren returned to his study, his phone started ringing. “Yes?”

“Sir, | just found out that Victoria Parfait met up with Orson Grady in private.” It was Elijah who was calling.

Ren’s brows furrowed tightly. He was angered by the way Victoria was out for vengeance after getting rejected. However, if anyone

tried to hurt the woman he loved, he would never let them get away with it.

Morning came.

Ruka woke up at seven. The first thing she did was scamper off to the main bedroom, but she encountered Elijah, who was sitting

on the couch outside the room. When Elijah saw her, he quickly made a shushing sound and she quietened her footsteps as well.

After sitting down beside him, she asked softly, “Is he still asleep?”

“He only went to bed at three in the morning, so it’s good if he can sleep in a little longer,” Elijah muttered back. His eyes were red

from lack of sleep as well.

“Is there so much that needs to be done now?”

“Well, it's the end of the year and the elections are coming up in May too. Sir would have his hands full with just one of those

things, let alone both.” Elijah sighed. He had a lot on his plate as well, but he felt a deep sense of satisfaction and found great joy

in his work.

Ruka began to wonder if it was a good thing for her to stay with Ren. She was supposed to be accompanying him, but it seemed

like she was taking up his tinstead.

“I'll move back htoday then. | don’t want to disturb him,” Ruka decided.

Elijah smiled. “It’s better if you stayed here, Miss Singed. If you're here, Sir won't have to spend his tthinking about you. He

can use that ton other things instead.”

Ruka’s cheeks turned a little pink as she said shyly, “It's not as if he spends his whole day thinking

about me.”

“But if you're not by his side, wouldn't it mean that he'll have to spend all his free tthinking about you?” Elijah prompted with a

smile.
