My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1331

Ruka’s eyes widened. We’re not married yet but he bought a house for my parents already?

“That’s too much!” Ruka felt a little overwhelmed.

“It’s only right for me to arrange a better living situation for my in–laws,” Ren said with a smile. “I’ll send you back before Christmas so you can spend the festive season with them too.”

Ruka was touched. She was overjoyed that her parents would be staying in a better place now. As they worked abroad most of the time, they decided against getting a new house and opted to save the money for her to use once she got married instead. Her father once declared that he was going to make sure she had a grand wedding.

Dinner was served and all three of them sat down at the dining table together. Elijah took the opportunity to pull out his iPad and amend Ren’s itinerary for tomorrow. Yet again, Ren had a full schedule and Ruka felt like she could scarcely breathe just hearing how much that had to be done!

Furthermore, this schedule had been fixed two weeks in advance. Elijah was only doing some minor adjustments the day before.

Ruka glanced sympathetically at Ren. If only she had the ability to help him. She wished she could take on some of his work on his behalf, but she could not do anything else apart from feel sorry for him, and she felt rather helpless because of this.

Elijah left after dinner, and the servants also took their leave once they were done cleaning up. Ren, Ruka, and the little cat were the only ones left in the enormous house.

Ren headed to his study. As for Ruka, she took a shower and then started playing with the cat, Callie, in the living area on the second floor. It was nearly ten at night when it curled up on the couch to sleep. Ruka kept on flitting the cat toy around until she became drowsy as well. Her head started tilting forward, and she fell asleep on the couch as well.

When Ren stepped out of his study at half past ten, he walked past the living area on the second floor and saw the young woman and the cat sleeping there. His heart softened at the sight of them.

He decided against waking her up right now. Instead, he took a blanket and draped it over her before heading back to his room for a shower. Twenty minutes later, he came out dressed in a pair of black pajamas.

After staring at Ruka for a few seconds, he bent down and kissed her on the forehead before carrying her up.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1332

Although Ruka had not been doing much the past two days, she still felt particularly drained. The moment he pulled her into his arms, she jostled awake and spotted a handsome face looming over her. She happily wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Are you done with work?” she asked at once in fear that he needed to head back to work again.

“Yeah. I’m done. Let’s go to bed.” Ren’s deep, hoarse voice sounded a little sexy.

When Ruka heard what he said, she leaned against him shyly and reveled in his embrace as he carried her to the master bedroom. up

Ruka mustered all her courage and made a bold decision. She was going to give herself to him tonight! If that was what he wanted, she was more than happy to oblige.

With that thought in mind, she tried her best to keep herself at ease. Ren set her down on the edge of the bed and she snuggled under the covers herself. She even scooted over to make some room for him.

Ren got in bed and turned the lights off. Ruka’s heart skipped a beat as he reached out to pull her close. She was tucked securely against his broad chest.

It just so happened that she was pressed up against his heart. She could hear the steady, powerful beating of his heart, and her own began to pound a little wildly.

She reached out to wrap her arms around his waist. In the darkness, he pulled her chin up. Once her head was tilted high enough, she felt something warm pressing against her lips. His kiss came without any warning.

He was not in a rush. His kiss was slow and tender as if he were savoring the taste of her lips. The fresh scent of mint did nothing to affect the dominance he displayed. It was as if she was his gift -one that he needed to unwrap as patiently as possible, instead of doing it with force.

Ruka grew light–headed from the kiss. She could not think of anything else apart from drowning in his passion. The warmth of his kiss warmed even the crevices of her heart, and her body began to tremble…

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1333

Then, disaster struck!

Ruka felt a familiar sensation and hastened to push him away.

“Hm? What’s the matter?” His hoarse voice rang out.

“My… my period just started… just now…” Ruka’s cheeks were burning up in utter embarrassment. Oh gosh! No wonder I’ve been feeling so sleepy lately. After doing some calculations, she realized that it came a week late.

Unfortunately, it chose to come right at this moment. To avoid staining his bedsheets, Ruka quickly jumped off the bed and ran back to her room.

She checked herself once she returned to her room, and true enough, she was right. Thankfully she came prepared, or otherwise, it would be mortifying if he had to go out in the middle of the night to buy pads for her.

After dealing with the crisis, she decided to return to his room, but when she opened her door, she saw him waiting right outside her room.

His eyes had a dangerous glint in them. When she looked into his eyes, she felt like he was going to eat her alive. “I’m sorry…” she apologized at once.

Ren was feeling a little frustrated too, but what could he do?

He stroked her head and pulled her into a hug. “Sleep in my room.”

Ruka shook her head. “I can’t. I might make a mess on your bedsheets.”

“I can always change it.” He was resolute, so she could only nod and follow him back. She could feel her cramps starting up too. They tormented her each month.

Although she climbed back into his bed, she lay there stiffly without daring to move about. She nestled in his arms again, but she could not stop herself from massaging her abdomen gently and inhaling sharply.

“Does it hurt?” He sensed it right away and pressed his large, warm hand against her abdomen.

All of a sudden, Ruka realized just how warm his hand was. It was so warm that it felt like a hot water bottle, and it eased most of her pain. She held his hand and said, “Lend me your warmth!”

Ren used his hand to massage her abdomen, but this time, his hand slid under her pajama top and pressed right against her skin.

Ruka gasped a little, but she enjoyed the warmth of his hand. His chin began to rub against her forehead, and the little stubble made her feel a little ticklish.

“Do you feel better now?” he asked after a while.

“Yeah, a lot better!” Not only was she not in any pain anymore, but she was so comfortable that she was about to fall asleep.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1334

“Go ahead and sleep,” he coaxed as his hand continued to press warmly against her abdomen.

Ruka fell asleep in next to no time, while Ren was fated to stay up a little longer. Once the bed was fully warmed up, he turned the air–conditioning to a higher temperature before sneaking out of bed and heading for the bathroom.

It was morning at last.

Ruka lazed in bed like a drowsy kitten. It was so warm under the covers that she did not feel like opening her eyes, even though she knew the sun was up. She snuggled back into his arms to carry on dreaming.

“Ruka.” His attractive voice rang out beside her ear.

She mumbled sleepily in response and felt a kiss being planted on her lips. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck to stop him from getting out of bed.

Ren did not try to stop her. Usually, he would have gotten out of bed and started working by now, but Ruka was a sleepyhead and she dragged him down with her, so he decided to stay with her a little while longer.

As for Elijah, who was waiting outside to start his daily report to Ren, began to feel rather anxious.

However, a thought occurred to him, and suddenly, he found it perfectly reasonable for Ren to sleep in a little late today.

Finally, at half past eight in the morning, Ren came out of the bedroom fully dressed for work. Elijah gave him an envious look. “Do your reporting downstairs!” Ren said quietly.

“Yes, I understand. Miss Singed needs her sleep,” Elijah responded at once.

By the time Ruka woke up, Ren had gone out. She became a little annoyed with herself. Why did she laze about in bed for so long that she missed out on having breakfast with him? Just as she began to have her breakfast alone feeling all morose, one of the servants came over with a bouquet of flowers. “Miss Singed, Mr. Husson prepared this for you.”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1335

Ruka’s eyes lit up between them.

with excitement. She took the bouquet of red roses over and saw the card stuck

After fishing it out, she saw the message that read, ‘Good morning, my Ruka

He signed it off himself and his signature was just as commanding and authoritative as he was.

It was clear that he bought the flowers and wrote the card himself before asking someone to deliver it to the house for her.

Ruka felt all warm and fuzzy inside. The servants had also prepared warm ginger tea to help keep her body warm. He must have instructed them to do so!

Even though he was not beside her right now, she could still feel his tender care. At noon, she received a call from her mother who informed her that they were packing up now and getting ready to move into their new house.

“Ruka, Ren prepared a villa for us. It looks very grand and luxurious, and the security system is top–notch. We’ll be safe here,” Claire described gratefully.

“Mom, do you need me to come and help you with the move?”

“No. Ren has sent some people over to help us out. There’s a large truck stopped outside the house right now. I think we’ll be done with just one trip since the villa is fully furnished. We’ll just need to bring along our daily necessities.”

Ruka could deduce that Ren prepared a new house for her parents to protect them. If she

married him, her parents would also become part of his closest circle, and he needed to do this to prevent them from being attacked by those with ulterior motives.

At the Translation Department.

Victoria came out of the conference room looking as pale as a sheet. Her eyes were filled with hatred and the unwillingness to concede. She never thought that Ren would act against her so mercilessly.

She knew that she was powerless against Ren, but she believed that with Orson’s influence, he would be able to ensure that Ren lost in the upcoming elections.

She could not wait to see him disgraced.

Inara and Michelle walked past her with a stack of documents in their hands. In the past, they would have greeted Victoria courteously in an attempt to curry favor with her, but right now, neither one of them showed her any sign of respect.

“I heard that Ruka failed her assessment because Victoria used her powers to interfere. I used to look

up to her and wanted to become as accomplished as her, but it looks like I’ll need to take that back now. I don’t want to be as shameless and deplorable as her!”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1336

Victoria was furious to see that even the interns had the guts to mock her right to her face. She

glowered at them, while they stood there with smug expressions as they watched her leave.

“D*mn it!” Victoria was so mad that she felt a little woozy and had to lean against the wall to support herself.

Three days later, it was Christmas Eve. Although Ren was reluctant to let Ruka leave, he did get to spend a few days with her and he did not want her to miss out on spending time with her family during the holiday season.

Ren led her to the car and personally opened the door for her. Once she had her seatbelt on, he bent down and inspected it carefully before stroking her head and kissing her forehead. “I’ll come and pick you up after Christmas.”

“Okay.” Ruka looked up at him a little wistfully too. She would have given him a hug if it had not been for all the bodyguards around them.

She sat safely in the car, while four other SUVs protected her from the front and back. No expense was spared to keep her safe.

Ruka took in the sights of the crowded streets when a thought flashed across her mind. If she married Ren and he continued to remain in his position, it meant that she would not have much of a chance to stroll about on the streets.

Even so, her smile did not fade. He was worth it, even if she had to give up everything. So what if she had to make some adjustments to her life and routine if it meant that she could be with him?

She was willing to do whatever it took to be with him, even if it meant giving up her life.

There were two gray cars tailing Ruka’s procession. The men in the two cars stared at the fleet of cars in front of them with a dangerous look in their eyes.

They were not going to act now, but from now on, she would always be under their watchful gaze.

Meanwhile, Ren was on a call in his office when Elijah came in with another man.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1337

It was a man in a dark–colored suit. He was over six feet tall and carried himself with an authoritative air. Elijah held his hand out politely and said, “Please come in, Mr. Presgrave.”

Once Elijah brought the visitor in, he went back to his adjacent office. Less than ten minutes later, he saw one of the staff running toward Ren’s office with a stack of documents in his hands. Elijah immediately called out and stopped the man.

“Casey, you can’t go in right now. Mr. Husson has an important discussion going on right now.”

“What I have here is very important too. I need Mr. Husson’s signature as soon as possible.” The man, Casey Amherst, waved the documents in front of him.

“Delay it for as long as possible. I’m certain that Mr. Husson does not wish to be interrupted for any reason right now.” Elijah’s tone was sterner than usual.

Casey became a lot less insistent. Whenever Elijah used that tone, it meant that Ren was in a meeting with someone extremely important.

“When should I come back then?” Casey asked a little frantically.

“Try coming back in two hours,” Elijah replied.

Casey had no choice but to leave with his documents. Elijah glanced at the door of the office. Ren was currently in a discussion that involved the general elections, and even he did not dare to go in to prepare the tea and coffee for them. For the next two hours, Ren attended to his guest himself.

It was Elliot Presgrave.

He was the wealthiest man in the entire country and had built his fortune internationally as well. He commanded a lot of respect, and even though he was a businessman, no one dared to underestimate his influence. Now that he was backing Ren, Elijah believed that Ren would not have any issues in the upcoming elections.

Ruka arrived at the new house. It was a quiet neighborhood without the bustling liveliness of the city center, but it gave her a strong sense of security. Every villa had a butler, and all their needs would be taken care of without having to step foot out of the house.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1338

Robert and Claire had received an extended break, so they could rest until July next year. Ren was the one who informed them of this. Thus, they were in no rush to get back to work abroad. Instead, they could enjoy some peace and quiet back in their home country.

“Mom, Dad, do you know what happened?” Ruka asked in shock when she heard the news.

“Nothing happened, you silly girl. Ren is just protecting us! He’s heading into the elections soon and those who wish to unseat him will try to affect him by attacking those around him. You’re the biggest target, so Ren had the foresight to make sure we’re protected,” Robert explained.

Ruka nodded in understanding, while Claire added, “Don’t be afraid, Ruka. Ren will keep you safe.”

“Mom, Dad, I’m not afraid.” Ruka had a steely look in her eyes. She was determined to accompany him throughout this challenging period.

There was a pile of documents stacked up on Elijah’s desk and he had received several calls with urgent reminders, but all he could do was hold the fort down for now. He glanced at his watch. and saw that two hours had passed.

Just then, he heard the door to the main office opening. Ren came out first and he stepped aside to let Elliot pass. As leaders in their respective fields, they were equals in every way, and when they stood together, it only proved that birds of a feather did indeed flock together.

They were both men that belonged to the top 1% of society and were innate leaders among men. Their presence and aura could not be mimicked or faked. It was something that could only come naturally.

“Sir, I will see Mr. Presgrave out,” Elijah came over and said.

Ren held his hand out to Elliot who shook it without hesitation. “See you, Elliot. I won’t be sending you off then.”

“Yes, there’s no need for you to send me off. Let’s check our schedules and find a time to invite Richard out for a meal, just the three of us,” Elliot said with a smile. They exchanged a look of understanding and empathy for one another.

“Certainly. Let’s do it when we’re all free.” Ren nodded and smiled.

Elijah did feel a little pressured as he stood beside the two of them. He was a pretty good–looking man himself, but standing in front of these two, he had to admit that they were the finest men who exuded an aura of leadership.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1339

Elijah walked Elliot out to the parking lot outside. One of the bodyguards opened the door for Elliot and he slid in before saying to Elijah courteously, “Thank you for seeing me out, Mr. Jackman.”

“You’re most welcome. Goodbye, Mr. Presgrave,” Elijah replied and watched as the procession of bulletproof cars drove off.

Then, Elijah returned to the office and brought the pile of documents to Ren, who was standing in front of the French window with a cup of coffee. He seemed to be in deep thought.

“Did everything go smoothly, Sir?” Elijah asked in concern.

“Yes. Very smoothly.” Ren nodded.

“Miss Singed has arrived safely at her parents‘ new villa. The Singeds won’t be leaving their house for the next few days. They will be under our protection at all times,” Elijah reported.

Ren narrowed his eyes. He could not help but think that Ruka would be bored out of her mind if she stayed cooped up inside the house for too long. If it hadn’t been for him, she wouldn’t have had to go through all of this.

Just then, Ren’s phone rang, and he picked it up. “Yes, Scarlet?”

“Ren, did you send Ruka back to her parents? It’s Christmas Eve today. Do you think it’d be alright if we invited them to join us for a celebration?”

“I’m a little swamped today, Scarlet. I’ll let Elijah handle the arrangements.”

“Alright. Come home for dinner once you’re done with work. Mom and Dad are here too.”

Ren’s heart tightened. “Scarlet, make sure Dad doesn’t find out about my relationship with Ruka.”

“Relax. Everyone’s on high alert right now. No one will inform Dad about it before the elections. We know what his temper’s like,” Scarlet assured him before adding a reminder. “Don’t work too late. You need to take care of your health too.”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1340

“Yes, I got it.” Ren smiled warmly. His family’s love for him was his source of strength.

Meanwhile, at a hillside villa near the city center, a grand feast was laid out on the dining table, and the woman who stood at the French window waiting for her husband to come home was dressed in a beige dress designed for pregnant women. From behind, she still looked like a young lady, but if one walked around her, they would see her beautiful belly, She caressed it while waiting patiently.

Just then, she saw the flashing car lights drawing near. Her lips curved into a smile. He was home at last.

Near the dining table, an old man sat down for a game of chess with his grandson. The young heir of the Presgraves was already showing all the makings of a highly intelligent soul. He carefully considered his every move, so much so that Francis was beginning to feel the pressure!

After all, the six–year–old had won several times now.

“Jared, haven’t you figured out your next move yet?” Francis asked with a smile.

“Hang on, Grandpa. I’ve almost figured it out.” Jared looked up. His handsome face looked more and more like his father’s every day.

Jared made his move and Francis couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise at how much of an expert he was at chess already. His move had been the best one possible.

“Your turn, Grandpa!” Jared grinned. “My, my. You’re nearly as good as me now. Let me think.” Francis studied the chessboard as if he had finally met his match.

Jared rested his head on his hands to wait. He looked like a proper little gentleman in his black sweater. When he heard the sounds outside, he smiled and said, “My father’s home.”

Francis nodded. “Yeah! Just in time for Christmas Eve dinner.”

“Mommy needs to go to the hospital once we’re done with dinner. I’ll get to see my sister in a few days,” Jared enthused.

“That’s right! We’ll have a new member of the family soon.” Francis was just as excited about it. In his old age, nothing felt more meaningful than spending time with his family.

Against the backdrop of the evening sky, Elliot stepped out of the car and speed–walked to the house. When he saw the woman who was waiting at the door, he reached out to hold her and asked, “Why are you standing at the door when it’s so cold?”

“I’m waiting for you, of course!” Anastasia tilted her head up to look at him. The light highlighted her refined features and the warmth of her beauty shone. Even though she was a pregnant woman, she was still as attractive as ever.
