Chapter 16

This woman was called Ruby, a beautiful black-haired woman who somehow caught his attention. This woman always talks about God and angels whenever they meet.

"Do you have to keep calling me just to talk about that? I'm not the least bit interested!" He said while smoking a cigarette.

Ruby chuckled, she didn't know why Lucien always came every time she asked to meet. Even though she looks cold and indifferent, Ruby knows that Lucien really cares about her.

"So, why did you come even though you didn't like it?"

"It's all because-"

"Because you saved me that night? Are you sorry?" Ruby looked into his eyes gently. He could see the purity and sincerity in her eyes. Something that he did not see in the eyes of other women.

"I am a bad person, I never help anyone. That's why I feel burdened by what I do!"

"Because I said that you are my savior angel?"

"Yes!" Lucien looked at him seriously. Their eyes stared at each other for a few seconds. There is a vibration in their hearts that they are aware of each other, but they always try to hide it.

It's been four months since that night and tonight is Valentine's night where Ruby asked Lucien to meet because he had something he wanted to give.

Ruby took out the gift she had brought, which she had specially prepared. He knew that he would never be able to repay what Lucien had done to him. Not only did he save his life, but Lucien always made sure that he was okay and that no bad guy bothered him anymore.

"What's this?"

"To you. It's valentine's day, so I want to thank you in person!"

"You always thank me in person every time we meet. I didn't help you just to get a valentine present!"

"I also didn't give you a gift because you saved me!" he said. Ruby was reluctant to continue her words when she suddenly felt a rumbling in her chest.

Lucien looked at her with his charming wolf eyes. Ruby knew it was very easy for women to fall for a man like Lucien. He was very handsome, with a perfect physique, deep and deep voice. But what made him even more attractive was his cool and calm demeanor, devoid of any reactions or exaggerated expressions.

Lucien took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He became like this, could not refuse this girl's request just because of one sentence he said at that time.

"You are my savior angel!"

One sentence that can change his cold soul becomes warmer. Even though it was troublesome at times, but whenever seeing this woman happy, it made her happy too.

"Okay, I accept your gift! But after that don't give anything else including religious books. Do you understand?"

"Hihihi...I understand! But if it's mine, is it alright?"

"If that's okay!"

"You like my cooking, don't you? Come on, be honest!" Ruby tries to seduce Lucien. He knew Lucien never refused whenever he asked him to come to his flat and taste his cooking.

"I love simple home cooking, because I hardly ever taste it!"

"But you always eat dishes made by famous chefs, you're lucky!"

"I think your cooking is more delicious!" Lucien unconsciously threw a compliment that made Ruby's heart beat even faster.

Ruby looked down, trying to hide her blushing face. She fell in love with Lucien and she could no longer control that feeling.

He already knew that Lucien was a jockey in the gambling world who had gotten used to a free life without rules. Meanwhile, Ruby is a simple girl who is gentle and religious.

He always promised himself that he would not make love to a man who was not her husband. But somehow he wanted to break that promise every time he was with Lucien.

"Lucien!"

"Hmm?"

"Do you think I'm beautiful?"

"I think so!"

"But not as pretty as the women who often surround you, right?"

Ruby's questions started to get weird, she usually always talked about God, heaven and hell, now she's talking about something different.

"Actually, what do you want to say?"

"Th-that, s-me-" Ruby stuttered. He wasn't sure that he could say it so easily. Especially to Lucien who has been looking after him for the past four months.

"If you don't say it, I will leave now!"

"W-wait! I was just wondering why you never wanted to touch me?"

"Touch you?"

"I-I mean, is there something in me that isn't attractive enough for you?" he said nervously.

Lucien was stunned, he began to understand what Ruby really wanted to say and he was quite surprised after realizing it because he thought that Ruby was different from the other girls.

"You want me to touch you?"

"N-no, I-I just-"

"Ruby, you know why I always come every time you call me?"

"N-no-"

"That's because I feel at ease with you."
