My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1311

Ruka’s blush extended all the way to her ears as she followed him to the elevator.

The hospital elevators were long and rectangular. Despite being rather large, it became quite crowded by the time they got to the third floor. Elijah and the two bodyguards stood protectively in front of them, while Ruka and Ren were stuck together. She nestled into him and he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Once they arrived on the first floor, Ren continued to walk hand-in-hand with Ruka as he led her out to the hospital lobby. She felt a lot of envious and wistful stares from others. Although the man beside her was wearing a mask, it did nothing to hide his innate aura of dominance.

Even though the passersby could not see his face, they could tell from his distinguished air alone that he was no ordinary man.

Elijah and the two bodyguards remained vigilant and only exhaled in relief once the two entered the car.

The atmosphere inside the car was quiet and serene, in stark contrast to the bustle they had just walked through. Ruka felt the hand around her waist tightening as its owner pulled her closer. She scooted over and settled into the middle of the backseat, and he helped her with the seatbelt.

Ruka lifted her head a little and his lips brushed across her forehead. A smile danced in his eyes as he asked, “Are you happy, Ruka?”

“Yeah.” She held his arm and rested her head against his shoulder. “I’m very happy.”

They set off for Ren’s place. Ruka was exhausted after the sequence of events that took place throughout the day, so she leaned against Ren and fell asleep.

Ren held her close and used his coat to tuck her securely against him. The warmth that emanated from him lulled Ruka to sleep.

He had the car drive up to the front entrance of his residence, and once the driver opened the car door for him, he carried Ruka down. She stirred awake from the motion, and when she saw how he carried her into the hall, she was so embarrassed that she buried her head in his arms.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1312

Fortunately for her, the bodyguards were wise enough to know when to be scarce. The procession of cars also disappeared within seconds.

“Do you still feel sleepy?” Ren asked. “Yeah. I still feel like sleeping.” Ruka nodded drowsily.

Ren smiled and carried her upstairs. Ruka sat up in shock when she realized that he put her down on his bed in the master bedroom. “I don’t want to sleep in your bed. I’ll sleep in the guest room!”

However, Ren bent over and took her shoes off for her. Even so, she still tried to stand in a hurry, as if she would sully his bed by sleeping there.

Just as she was about to stand, he pressed down on her shoulder to keep her in bed, and she tripped over her own legs.

“Abbi” She began to fall back onto the bed, but before she landed, she reacted instinctively and grabbed onto his shirt, which ended up pulling him down with her.

She fell herself sinking into the soft bed beneath her, while his body loomed over her and trapped her in. Still, he managed to prop himself up with his hands flat against the bed, or else, it would have been painful for her if he fell onto her as well.

His sculpted features were reflected in her large, clear eyes-including the stir of emotions that could be detected in his gaze.

They stared at each other like that for several seconds. Ruka’s heart began to beat a lot faster.

Ren had thought that he was patient enough to wait, but he underestimated just how attracted he was to her. She had only just arrived at his house, but he was already feeling the urge kicking in.

Ruka blinked at him blankly, but she was squealing for help on the inside.

What should I do now? Are we going to kiss? Should I push him off? Her eyes flickered here and there as the thoughts swarmed her mind. She dared not maintain eye contact with him. It was as if he would eat her alive the moment he locked eyes with her.

She no longer felt any trace of drowsiness now. In fact, she felt a little restless.

Her body was tense as if all her senses were transfixed on the man above her right now.

A hint of mirth flashed across Ren’s face when he saw how adorable she was being right now. Look at how nervous she is!

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1313

Still, Ren was reluctant about letting her off quite so easily, so he lowered himself down and pecked her luscious lips before standing up.

“Alright. Go to sleep.” Ren‘s voice was restrained. It was evident he was holding himself back.

“What about you?” Ruka looked at ease but she was a little disappointed. Is he leaving just like that?

“I have some work I need to attend to. You should rest for now. The doctor will come later to give you a checkup.”

Ruka shook her head at once when she heard that. “No thanks.”

“You‘re an adult now. Are you still scared of doctors?” Ren was amused.

“Yes. I‘m scared of needles and getting my blood taken. I don‘t want to see a doctor,” Ruka declared as she snuggled under the covers.

Ren adjusted the corner of the covers and replied, “Okay. We‘ll see how you‘re feeling when you‘re up. If you‘re feeling alright, then I won‘t ask the doctor to come.”

“Okay.” Ruka nodded.

Once Ren left, Ruka buried herself among the sheets. They smelled like him and she soon dozed

off.

Half an hour later, Elijah brought over several suitcases of clothes. They were all for Ruka and had all manner of clothing that she could possibly need from the most luxurious brands on the market.

The household staff arranged the clothes into the wardrobe on Ruka‘s behalf. They took great care to complete the task as they had long since predicted she would be the future Mrs. Husson.

It was the festive season that led up to Christmas, and as dusk fell, the city came to life with the spirit of joy and celebration. There were even fireworks in the distance.

At Husson Residence.

Harold was looking forward to having Ren home for dinner, but when Charlotte told him that Ren was too busy with work to return home for dinner, he started grumbling in discontent.

“How can he be this busy during the Christmas season? Can‘t he spare the time for a meal?” Harold was disgruntled.

However, Charlotte could not hide the joy in her eyes. Usually, she would have grumbled right along with her husband, but she got a call from Scarlet two hours ago and heard that Ruka had moved in with Ren. Thus, she was pretty pleased to hear that Ren would be spending time with his loved one this year.

“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.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1314

“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. She 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.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1315

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 with his attractive dimples on full display.

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.”

Ren smirked at how far away she stood. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Are you afraid that I‘d eat you first?”

Isn‘t that just a matter of time now? Even I can tell that much, she thought.

“Come on, let‘s go down and eat,” Ruka urged once again. No matter how busy he was, he should still remember to take care of himself.

Ren‘s smile deepened at the thought of having someone to keep an eye on him to make sure he took his meals on time. It did not feel bad at all to have someone who looked out for you. It was a blessing, and it made him feel warm inside.

“Okay.” Ren came over to her, and they left his study hand–in–hand.

At Grady Residence.

A white car came to a stop out front and a woman stepped out from the driver‘s seat. She was dressed in black and had a mask on. When she entered the hall, she was met by a man in his fifties who was waiting for her.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1316

“It‘s great to see you, Miss Parfait.”

“Hello, Mr. Grady. I‘m here to report something to you.”

“Please take a seat.” The man gestured politely toward the couch.

Victoria‘s eyes were filled with hatred. Her jaw was tightly clenched as she stated, “I‘m here to inform you that the current vice president, Ren Husson is in a relationship with his sister‘s adopted daughter. A man like him does not deserve to be the vice president.”

“You seem to despise Ren Husson a lot, Miss Parfait.”

“I used to be in love with him, but he hurt me deeply with his heartlessness. I‘m not going to hold back either. I know that you‘re interested in being the vice president, so I hope this piece of information will be of use to you.”

Orson Grady remained in silent thought for a few seconds before nodding. “Thank you for sharing this with me, Miss Parfait. It is indeed of great use to me. What would you like me to do in return?”

“Destroy him. That‘ll be the best thing you can do for me.” Victoria‘s eyes flashed with hatred and resentment.

“I will do my best to grant your request,” Orson replied before signaling to his subordinate. “Please see Miss Parfait out.”

Victoria drove out of Grady Residence and came to a stop at a street light. Her hands curled tightly around the steering wheels. Hatred continued to swirl in her eyes.

Ever since Ren‘s assistant delivered the warning to her, she had not been able to focus on her work. She was consumed by bitterness. Although she knew she was powerless and could not shake Ren‘s position, she was still determined to not let him carry on for another term as vice president. Thus, she had to do whatever was within her means to achieve her goal.

What she could do was let his political rivals know about his relationship with Ruka. That would surely aid them in causing obstacles for Ren and weaken his chances during the general election.

Back at the Vice President‘s Residence.

The servants wisely left the dining room and allowed the couple to enjoy a romantic dinner together.

Ruka was starving. She had not eaten much during lunch and had suffered through her mother‘s scolding afterward, followed by her anguish and eventual fainting spell. All in all, she was famished and was looking forward to digging into the feast that covered the entire dining table.

“Everything tastes amazing!” Ruka munched away in great satisfaction.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1317

Ren felt bad when he saw her eating in such a hurry. “Slow down. No one‘s going to stop vou from eating,” he chided.

“But I‘m so hungry! I only took a couple of bites at your house today,” Ruka exclaimed, but her words were a little muffled by how full her mouth was.

Ren gave her an affectionate smile. “You won‘t be able to sleep tonight if you‘re too full.”

“Then, if I can‘t sleep tonight, can I sleep in tomorrow?” Ruka asked. She felt the need to seek his permission each time she wanted to sleep in at his house, or else, she would not be able to sleep well.

You can sleep for as long as you want,” Ren promised as his smile widened.

Ruka looked at him and asked, “How should I address you now?”

What would you prefer?” he ventured expectantly.

“Ren,” Ruka declared. By dropping the ‘mister‘, it felt like they would become equals now.

“Alright. You can call me that for now, but you‘ll have to use something else after the May elections.” Ren reminded. He could not wait to hear her addressing him with something else entirely.

Ruka‘s mind was blank at first, but when she realized what he meant, she blushed and nodded shyly.

“Okay. When the time comes, I‘ll call you hubby.”

Ren had not eaten much yet, but now, he could tell that his stomach was not the one that was hungry. Every fiber of his being yearned for the woman who sat in front of him right now. He could barely push the feeling away. It was fine when she was not around him, but now that she was here with him and smiling so brightly, he found that his patience was being tested to the limit.

All of a sudden, soft thuds could be heard from the window. When Ruka turned to look and saw what was happening, her eyes widened in surprise and she exclaimed, “It‘s snowing!”

She quickly set her cutlery down and rushed out to the garden to enjoy the first snowfall of the year.

By the time Ren caught up to her, he found her whirling about in the snow like a carefree child who was trying to find the prettiest snowflake. He had been standing there for a while to watch her when all of a sudden, she turned dizzy and stumbled over to him.

Immediately, he opened his arms to catch her. She had nearly forgotten about her fainting spell earlier today. She was still a little weak from the lack of oxygen and should not be engaging in strenuous activity, which included spinning around.

Thankfully, Ren was nearby. In her dizziness, she instinctively fell into his embrace.

Ren held her steady and bent down to observe her face. She was still trying to catch her breath, but she buried her head against his chest and refused to leave.

He could not resist pinching her cheeks as he chuckled lovingly.

Ruka looked up at him and fluttered her eyelashes, “Am I beautiful, Ren?”

Ren‘s eyes flickered a little as the pretty little face that belonged to the woman in his arms right now made his mind wander. She was not the most beautiful woman in the world, but she was the one he loved the most. No one could ever replace the smile on her face or the sound of her voice. She was his source of light and hope.

“You‘re gorgeous,” he said.

“Now that we‘re standing in the snow together, we know what it‘s like to be together until our hair turns white!” Ruka announced gleefully as she hugged him.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1318

Ren was enamored with her, including all the adorable things she said. “Yeah. We‘ll be together even when our hair turns white, or more accurately, gray.”

Ruka stared at the scene in front of her. The flecks of snow that flurried around them were illuminated by the glow of the street lamps. They dotted his hair and clothes, and she fell into a daze as she took in the picturesque scene that filled her eyes. Meanwhile, he carried her back into the house.

“You‘ll catch a cold if you continue standing in the snow like that. I don‘t want you to actually spend all your time recuperating here,” Ren said out of concern.

Ruka smiled. “What am I here for then?”

“To accompany me,” he announced.

Ruka blushed. “To accompany you while you work, or for something else?”

Ren often thought that Ruka had an innocent mind, but her words were fraught with innuendo.

“I won‘t protest to anything you wish to do with me. The only thing that matters is what you desire.” Ren‘s smirk made it sound even more suggestive.

Ruka turned away shyly. At the same time, she received a notification on her phone, so she used it as an excuse to escape. “Let me check my phone.”

She sat down on the couch, but she froze when she saw the text. It was from Jethro Ortiz.

 

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1319

‘What are you up to, Ruka? Are you free later? I‘ll take you to the movies:

Ruka tapped out her reply. ‘Sorry, Jethro, but I‘m busy.

Just then, her phone started ringing. It echoed a little in the expansive living room and she quickly answered the call. “Hello”

“Ruka...” Jethro sounded drunk. “I want to see you...”

Ruka could tell that he was drunk. She frowned and asked, “Have you been drinking?”

“I just went through a breakup. I‘m so stupid. I shouldn‘t have trusted her. I thought she loved me, but she... she broke up with me today.” Jethro‘s voice choked up.

“Don‘t be sad. You deserve someone better,” Ruka consoled.

“I‘m so dumb, Ruka. I only realized now that you like me. Do we still have a chance? I think I like you too. We could try dating...” Jethro immediately started asking her out.

Ruka was stunned, and right at that moment, she felt someone staring at her. The piercing gaze in Ren‘s eyes made her hairs stand on end.

“Uh! Jethro, I can‘t talk right now. I have something to do. You shouldn‘t like me either. I like someone else. Bye!” Ruka quickly ended the call under the pressuring gaze of the man in front of her.

“A friend of mine,” she explained a little evasively.

“The boy you said you liked?” Ren had not forgotten about it. She did tell him that she liked Jethro

Ruka pressed her lips together and tried to explain, “Not someone I like, per se! I just... just felt a little bit attracted to him, and also.... You didn‘t tell me you liked me either then!”

She wisely pushed all the responsibility to him. It was his fault for not telling her sooner that he liked her! It was not her fault that she started liking someone else!

“If I recall correctly, you went to the movies with him, and you even got drunk because of him.” Ren continued to probe her about her past as if she had been exceptionally close with other men before this.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1320

She quickly shook her head. “No, don‘t get the wrong idea. We didn‘t even hold hands!”

He narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Is that so?”

“Yes! Of course! I swear that the only man whose hand I‘ve held is you,” Ruka declared.

Ren got jealous easily. She was afraid that he would be upset if she did not explain things properly.

What about kissing? he asked.

“You‘re my first kiss! What more do you want from me?!” Ruka huffed.

He smirked “When did I become your first kiss?”

“Well. That time when I was drunk, I kissed you in the car, didn‘t I? That was my first kiss,” she replied with a pout.

Ren‘s towering figure loomed over her as he approached her. She was startled and stumbled back down on the couch in fear that he was going to punish her for this.

However, her phone started ringing once more. It was Jethro again. Ruka silenced her phone before glancing at Ren nervously. ‘He just went through a breakup and is just seeking comfort from a friend

‘Answer it. Put it on speaker, Ren said.

Ruka blinked. Was he so kind–hearted that he thought she should try and console Jethro? Either way, she did as told. “Hi, Jethro.”

“Ruka. I feel so bad right now. I don‘t blame anybody but myself. Someone told me that you‘ve had a crush on me for a long time now. I‘m such a fool for not noticing it sooner. Ruka, can you forgive me, please: I really like you a lot. You‘re so kind and beautiful. I‘m kicking myself for not noticing your feelings sooner.

Ruka shrank back a little when she saw the grotesque expression on Ren‘s face. She wanted to end the call at once to stop him from hearing Jethro‘s confession.

Ren sat down on the couch and pulled Ruka into his arms before grabbing her phone. Then, with his voice as cold as ice, he warned, “Ruka has a boyfriend. Don‘t bother her ever again.”
