“I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Mr. and Mrs. Singed will be more than happy to accept
this.” Angela smiled.
“I’ll have to talk to them myself. Honestly, I’m a bit embarrassed to bring this up.” Scarlet was really in a
dilemma now. How am I supposed to convince my best friend to marry their young and lovely daughter
to my old and single brother? I can’t do that.
“I’m counting on you, sis.” Ren wrapped his arm around her shoulder. There was a silent plea in his
eyes.
Scarlet just realized Ren hid his feelings for Ruka really deep within. She didn’t even notice it for the
longest time. But then they’re childhood friends, and Ruka moved in with him for almost a whole month.
It’s honestly not that far-fetched that they become lovers.
“But we can’t let the public know about this, or it’ll affect the number of votes he gets,” Walter said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRichard looked at Ren. He was trying to tell him not to drop out of the election.
Ren wouldn’t let his family down, not after they gave him their support in his relationship. Not to
mention he needed to get Harold’s approval too. If he wanted his father’s approval, he had to get
reelected in the coming election.
“Yeah. You and Ruka will have to wait, Ren. We’ll talk about marriage after May.” Scarlet was worried
as well. “I did tell everyone she’s my goddaughter. Your rivals might use that against you if they know.”
“Yes. We can’t ruin his chances of getting reelected, so keep this between us. Don’t tell anyone.”
Charlotte knew what her priorities were.
“I’ll join this election and do my best,” Ren promised. “Why did you pass out all of a sudden, Mom?”
Scarlet was worried about Charlotte.
“Oh, it’s nothing much.” Charlotte finally saw through Sophie. She told me about Ren dating Ruka on
purpose just to make me think badly of Ruka. Charlotte was relieved she didn’t tell Ren to marry
Sophie, or the family would eventually turn into shambles.
Angela wanted to tell her that it was all Sophie’s fault, but since Charlotte was broad-minded enough
not to bring it up. she was in no position to talk about it. Gotta learn to be as generous as Charlotte is.
“And pay a visit to the Singeds, Scarlet. See if they’d like to marry Ruka off to Ren?” Charlotte was
really happy. She wanted to settle this as soon as possible. Hey, I’m gonna have a daughter-in-law
soon. Settle all this stuff ASAP.
“Sure. I’ll be going to their place in a bit, Mom.” Scarlet smiled and got up. She told Walter, “Let’s go,
honey. Richard and the others can handle things on this side.” Walter patted Ren’s shoulder. “Leave
the talking to us, Ren. We’ll handle this for you.”
“I’m counting on you, Walter.”
Scarlet and Walter left. Charlotte was in a really good mood. She pulled her blanket down and tried to

“Nope. I passed out only because I was too angry. Now I’m not angry anymore.”
A doctor came in with some meds, and a gust of breeze carried the smell of pills through the ward.
Angela took a whiff of it and felt her stomach churn. She covered her mouth and retched.
Everyone looked at her. She blushed. “The smell of meds always makes my stomach churn. Sorry.”
Charlotte was looking delighted. “We’re at a hospital. Quick, see if you’re pregnant.”
Angela’s face turned even redder. She quickly waved her hands. “No. Richard and I aren’t planning on
having any kids just yet.”
Richard quickly realized what was happening thanks to his great memory. There was this one time
when Angela insisted on having sex with him, and they went through with it before he could get any
protection on. She initiated, to say the least.
Did she get pregnant from that one time? Richard held her hand. “We’re getting you checked.”
