Chapter 1374

Ren circled his arm around her waist and bent down. “I'm the one who's most eager to be well again.”

Ruka shoved him off with a look of embarrassment. “Hurry up and go! Remember to be careful.”

At Husson Residence.

When Charlotte heard that Ren would be coming back for lunch, she called him up right away and reminded him to not bring up

Ruka.

“Your dad is in a foul mood today. | have no idea who made him mad,” Charlotte said.

“Yes, | got it. I'll make sure to avoid any mentions of it,” Ren promised.

“He was fine this morning. Seriously, despite being an old man now, his temper hasn't changed at all. He locked himself in his

study and refused to even let the servants bring him stea.”

“Something must've happened. I'll be right there,” Ren said consolingly.

Ten minutes later, Ren’s car cto stop in the driveway. When Ren entered the hall, one of the servants immediately cover

and said, “Mr. Ren. Mr. Husson is waiting for you in his

study.”

“Alright.” Ren headed up the stairs for the study on the second floor.

He knocked on the door and heard Harold's deep voice calling out, “Cin.”

When he went in, Harold barked, “Close the door.”

Ren had a bad feeling. He saw the furious look on Harold's face. It had been a while since he last saw Harold being this angry.

“Dad...”

“Kneel!” Harold commanded sharply.

Ren froze and stared at his father. Harold did use corporal punishment on him before he turned eighteen, but he was thirty-three

now. Why did Harold want to punish him now? What did he do?

Out of consideration for Harold's age, Ren could only do as he was told. He kneeled on the ground with his back straight and looked

up at his father’s seething expression. He only hoped. that Harold would not give himself a heart attack. At his age, it was

dangerous for him to be this

angry.

“What on earth happened, Dad? Tell me,” Ren pleaded.

Harold retrieved a belt from somewhere before standing behind Ren and whipping him on the back. “Ever since you were a child, |

taught you that the most important thing is a person’s character. Did you forget everything | taught you? Is that why you've

becso shameless?”

Harold's belt landed a second time. Thanks to Ren’s clothing, Harold had no idea that his belt landed exactly on Ren’s wound.

Ren’s face was tightly clenched in pain. His wound was only a week old, and after being whipped. twice, the pain was beginning to

spread all over his back.

“Your mother introduced you to so many fine young ladies, but you did not take a liking to any of them. Instead, you went after

Ruka! How could you do such a deplorable thing?!”

Ren took a deep breath. He finally understood what was going on. Harold was angry because of his relationship with Ruka. The

family had kept it a complete secret from him, so someone must have leaked the news to him on purpose.
