“Still, the general elections are coming up soon. If Ren puts in the effort now, he would have a higher
chance of success when the time comes.” Harold had a look of anticipation in his eyes. The general
elections were a priority for him as well.
“I think we shouldn’t pressure Ren too much. He’s still so young. It’s great if he’s chosen to continue
serving another term, but even if he doesn’t win, it won’t stop him from excelling in any other field he
chooses, Charlotte opined.
However, Harold insisted, “I’m sure Ren will win. He has never let us down.”
Charlotte decided not to dwell on this topic with Harold. She was waiting for the elections to be over so
she can finally have a daughter-in-law, and hopefully a few grandchildren soon as well!
At around six-thirty, Ruka was woken up by the sounds of someone setting off some fireworks nearby.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe sat up in bed and enjoyed the view as the fireworks sparked across the sky.
Then, she climbed out of bed and went back to the guest room she was familiar with and washed up.
By the time she headed downstairs, the servants had already prepared a romantic candlelit dinner.
Apart from the candles, there were also fresh flowers and champagne. “You’re up, Miss Singed. Dinner
is ready to be served.”
“Did he go out?” Ruka asked at once.
“No, Sir is still in his study working right now.”
Ruka felt bad for him. She had taken a long nap but he was still busy with work. Feeling guilty for being
the only one who got to rest, she went back upstairs to the study on the second floor.
When she knocked on the door, she heard him calling out, “Enter”
She pushed the door open and stuck her head in. “Are you done with work? It’s time for dinner.”
Ren set his pen down and pushed his chair back. He stretched his long legs and opened his arms
wide. “Come here.” His deep voice was full of affection.
Ruka opened the door a little wider to let herself in before closing it. She was like an innocent little
rabbit who was entering the wolf’s den.
Ren had been under a lot of pressure lately and work was exhausting too, but when he looked at her
right now, he felt like he was eighteen again and could carry on working tirelessly.
When Ren reached out to grasp Ruka’s hand, she seized the chance to fall into his arms. After
wrapping her arms around his neck, she asked, “Are you tired?”
“Not at all!” Ren answered with a smile. He would never admit to being tired in front of her.
However, that did nothing to quell the sympathy she felt for him. Any other person would have burnt out
from the mountain of work he did each day. She started massaging his temples. He blinked and smiled

His dimples drew Ruka’s attention, even as she continued with the massage. When his expression was
neutral, he looked rather stern and imposing, but when he smiled, it gave others the urge to throw
caution to the wind and do something reckless to him.
Ruka stared at his lips. Her heart started pounding as she felt ever so keen on taking the initiative for
once. Ren seemed to have sensed her inner turmoil. His eyes seemed to encourage her to do what
she was’thinking about.
Just as Ruka bit her lip in hesitation, his hand cupped her head and pulled her close so he could kiss
her. There was no telling how much longer it would take if he carried on waiting for her to make the first
move.
Her head was tilted up as he kissed her fiercely. The longer they kissed, the more she felt like she
would melt. Eventually, when they broke apart, she quickly climbed out of his lap. “We should go down
for dinner.”
