Ren circled his arm around her waist and bent down. “I’m the one who’s most eager to be well again.”
Ruka shoved him off with a look of embarrassment. “Hurry up and go! Remember to be careful.”
At Husson Residence.
When Charlotte heard that Ren would be coming back for lunch, she called him up right away and reminded him to
not bring up Ruka.
“Your dad is in a foul mood today. I have no idea who made him mad,” Charlotte said.
“Yes, I got it. I’ll make sure to avoid any mentions of it,” Ren promised.
“He was fine this morning. Seriously, despite being an old man now, his temper hasn’t changed at all. He locked
himself in his study and refused to even let the servants bring him some tea.”

Ten minutes later, Ren’s car came to stop in the driveway. When Ren entered the hall, one of the servants
immediately came over and said, “Mr. Ren. Mr. Husson is waiting for you in his
study.”
“Alright.” Ren headed up the stairs for the study on the second floor.
He knocked on the door and heard Harold’s deep voice calling out, “Come in.”
When he went in, Harold barked, “Close the door.”
Ren had a bad feeling. He saw the furious look on Harold’s face. It had been a while since he last saw Harold being
this angry.
“Dad…”

“Kneel!” Harold commanded sharply.

straight and looked up at his father’s seething expression. He only hoped. that Harold would not give himself a
heart attack. At his age, it was dangerous for him to be this

“What on earth happened, Dad? Tell me,” Ren pleaded.

Harold’s belt landed a second time. Thanks to Ren’s clothing, Harold had no idea that his belt landed exactly on
Ren’s wound.
Ren’s face was tightly clenched in pain. His wound was only a week old, and after being whipped. twice, the pain
was beginning to spread all over his back.
“Your mother introduced you to so many fine young ladies, but you did not take a liking to any of them. Instead, you
went after Ruka! How could you do such a deplorable thing?!”
Ren took a deep breath. He finally understood what was going on. Harold was angry because of his relationship with
Ruka. The family had kept it a complete secret from him, so someone must have leaked the news to him on
purpose.
