Chapter 1048
However, the simple outfit could not hide her youthful aura as the surrounding crowd‘s gazes were drawn to her.
With fair skin and bright eyes paired with her luscious lips, nobody could divert their eyes away from her.
“Aunt Scarlet! Uncle Walter!” The woman immediately waved at them happily.
“Ruka.” Scarlet became teary–eyed. She had been by her side since Ruka was three years old as she raised her
until she was sixteen, so she had treated her like her own daughter.
Walter also showed a gentle smile. This was the daughter of his closest friend, but due to work, they had to be
abroad for long periods of time. Besides that, the country in question was a dangerous one, so they had to let
Scarlet take care of Ruka for sixteen years.
Scarlet walked quickly and hugged Ruka before stating, “You‘re even taller than me
now.”
Hugging her, Ruka responded, “I missed you guys so much!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Us too. Looks like you get to live with us again this time.”
“Yup! I‘m going to accompany you two and be a filial daughter.” Ruka truly loved them.
“Looks like we don‘t have to worry about our lives in the future.” Scarlet smiled at her husband.
“You said it well.” Walter smiled happily.
The assistant carried the luggage to the car outside while Ruka and Scarlet were chatting. Even though she was
already twenty–three years old, she still acted like a child when facing Scarlet.
“Ruka, I‘ve contacted the translation department for you and they‘ve given you a position as an intern. Take a break
for now. You can have a look at it a few days later. You should grab hold of this chance to work at the department.”
“Really? Thank you, Aunt Scarlet. I will not let you down.” Ruka was very glad to have obtained the chance as well
since she wanted to be like her parents and be a person that served the country.
“Oh right, haven‘t you always wanted to see Richard? He‘s here too.”
“Right. Richard has always been someone that I looked up to. Although I haven‘t
officially met him, he‘s like a brother in my heart.” Ruka nodded.
“He‘s about to get married, so you‘ll have a sister–in–law soon.”
Smiling, Ruka replied, “My sister–in–law must be a gentle beauty, then.”
Scarlet nodded and said proudly, “You‘re very right on that point.”
“Being so exceptional, Richard must have met someone just as capable as he is.” Even though Ruka did not grow
up by her parents‘ side, she still received all the love she needed. This meant that her actions were all genuine and
kind.
Returning to the Husson Residence, Ruka began unpacking before heading downstairs to give Scarlet and Walter
presents. “Aunt Scarlet and Uncle Walter, these are some presents for the both of you. I hope that you‘ll like
them.”
“Oh, we‘ll love anything that you give us.”
Scarlet accepted them happily when a servant came to inform her upon receiving a call, “Madam, the vice–
president mentioned that he wanted to dine here tonight.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Really? Prepare a few more dishes, then.” Scarlet had not seen her brother for quite some time now.
Ruka blinked. “Is Mr. Ren coming?”
When she went abroad, he had yet to ascend to the position of vice president. Now, he was one of the most
influential people in the country.
Scarlet smiled and nodded. “That‘s right. Ren is coming over. You two have some catching up to do.”
Ruka did feel a bit estranged, yet the memories about Ren were deeply ingrained in her. She remembered that her
position fell by twenty in the mid–term exams when she was fifteen. When she saw the results, she cried sadly while
soaking in the rain on her way home. While walking, she was knocked over by a man on a bike, which made her
bawl even louder. It was then she bumped into Ren, who got down the car and took her home. On the way back, he
scolded her harshly, making her sob ever sadder. What an embarrassing flashback.
