Chapter 1280
“I envy Ruka. She has two moms and two dads. Harold, Charlotte, and uncle love her too.” Sophie continued.
Ruka bit her fork. She was a little panicked. Honestly, she was so nervous, she didn’t even dare to meet Ren’s gaze.
She was worried Sophie might tell everyone about her relationship with him. She didn’t want that dream to happen
in real life. What if his family wells at him? What if he hurts them because of we?
“Well, I mean, everyone’s different, Miss Liamson. For example, some people aren’t loved by their family, unlike

Sophic shut up and laughed at hersell. “I guess so. I’m not as lucky as she is.”
Ruka stood up and announced, “I need to use the bathroom.”
She left the room quickly, and Ren looked at her, worried. He held his phone up. “I’m gonna make a call.” And then
he left as well.
Sophic stared in the direction they left. Angela rested her chin on her hands. “Stop staring, Miss Liamson. Dig in.”
She then looked at Richard and winked. It was as if she was saying, See? I hit the bullseye.
Richard’s brows knitted together. That’s not the problem here. This is a compler case that needs to be dealt with
The bathroom was jusi an excuse for Ruka to get some fresh air. The tension was too much back in there, and her
heart kept thumping furiously. It almost suffocated her.
A gust of cold wind blew across her the moment she came to the garden, causing her hair to Dillow in the wind. She
had taken hier coat oil, so she was wearinly nothinbut her white dress. The cold air was making her shiver. She
wanted to back away.
Then again, somcone pulled her into a warm embrace. It surprised her. She looked back and saw Ren.lic looked
worried and sympathetic.
“It’s cold out here, so why did you come out?” He led her into a greenhouse where the heater was on.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRuka pulled her hand back. She was worried some servant might come out and see them. He sighed. “Don’t take
what Sophie said to heart. She’s just an outsider.”
She didn’t want to tell him that Sophie threatened her before. It would just give him unwanted pressure. She
nodded. “Sure. I don’t really mind what she said.”
Back in the dining room, Claire had also excused herself to go to the restroom. She thought she would run into her
daughter there, but she didn’t see her, even when she was done relieving herself. It annoyed her.
It’s mealtime. Where is that girl? We’re guests here. She can’t run around. She’s not a kid anymore.
Claire was a strict mother. She went to look for her daughter so she could take her back to the dining hall. Going
back alone was clearly rude.
