Chapter 1216
“I’m fine,” Ruka answered quietly. She wondered if Ren’s feelings for her were just a figment of her imagination and
would disappear sooner or later. At this point, she suddenly understood why he was so crazy about her–if he had to
leave her for any reason, she would never fall for someone else ever again. Besides, no other man would ever steal
her heart the way he had. Immediately, she grabbed his hand tightly, scared that everything was just a dream.
Ren felt confused by this because he could sense her sadness, yet he didn’t know why she felt that way. Did he do
anything wrong? In the end, he could only pull her into a hug, allowing her to lean against him and rest.

she followed behind–an instinctive reaction borne out of his love for her. Soon, Elijah approached him and
whispered, “Mr. Husson, everything is ready.”
Ren nodded. “Thank you for your hard work.”
“We’ll leave everything here then, Mr. Husson,” Elijah answered before getting into the car and leaving. After the
entourage was gone, Ren and Ruka were left alone in the large garden; he held her hand and led her toward the
hall.
She could feel his love for her as she followed him, her mouth unconsciously curling into a smile. As soon as they
arrived in the doorway leading to the hall, she was stunned by the scene before her. They decorated it in a fresh
yet romantic theme for a birthday party. Presents were laid out amongst the flowers and balloons, with a flower
arrangement right by the wine, champagne, and dessert dishes on the table. Right in the center of that table was
an unopened cake box.
Her love for him surged as she took in everything, and she immediately turned to give him a tight hug. “Thank
you.”
Ren wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled, enjoying her voluntary act of intimacy. As for Ruka, she felt
really touched because he had done so much for her.
“Do you want to eat the cake or unwrap the presents first?” he asked her lovingly.

He leaned down and pressed a kiss into her hair. He had assigned Elijah to set up everything back home in the
afternoon with plans of surprising her after their date, but he hadn’t expected it to be interrupted. Thank God this
surprise had successfully made up for it.
Ren teasingly blew into her ear. “What? Are you planning to unwrap me like your presents?”
Ruka blushed furiously and let him go. She didn’t have the courage for that! “I wouldn’t dare!”
