Chapter 1282
“That is not how we raised you, Ruka!” Claire felt like she could cry.
At the same time, Ruka and Ren had come back to the dining room, but she was still too nervous to go inside. She said, “I’ll need to use the bathroom.”
Ren knew she was still anxious, so he went inside without her. The moment he took his seat, Sophie looked at him sheepishly. Ren ignored her. He had decided to make it clear that he wasn’t dating Sophie. He didn’t want his parents to keep misunderstanding them.
Sophie shot Ruka a jealous look when she came back. Ruka took her seat, and to her surprise, she didn’t see her mother. Where did she go?
The dinner got a little glum since everyone, apart from Walter, Robert and Harold, was weighed down by their own thoughts. They were having a good time drinking and didn’t get weighed down by anything, maybe except for the booze.
Ruka was halfway through her meal when Claire came back. She was looking happy a while ago, but now it was obvious she was troubled.
Ruka noticed that, of course. She looked at her, and Claire turned around to meet her gaze as well. She heaved a big sigh. “Finish your food. We’re going home soon.”
