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.”

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, I 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

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 time instead.
“I’ll move back home today then. I 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 time thinking
about you. He can use that time on 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 time thinking about you?” Elijah
prompted with a smile.
