Ruka Glenn spoke with sincere emotions, fully expressing her love for Ethan Herd.
After listening, Mrs. Herd felt sorry for Ruka: "You really are too kind, none of those little fairies outside can compare to you. Why is it that Ethan is so...sigh, you should go upstairs. But...don't upset him. If he doesn't agree, don't go into his room, otherwise you'll be the one who suffers."
Mrs. Herd had wanted to ask, 'Why doesn't he like you?'
She was afraid that saying it would only embarrass Ruka, so she held back.
Ruka nodded: "Okay, don't worry."

Ethan squinted at the pair of high heels, which he had brought back inexplicably.
He remembered the scene of Scarlett tossing his shirt into the garbage bin, and sneered, "How could I forget to throw it in the trash?"
