To the Love of My Life

Chapter 681: Chapter 681: Chaotic Baby-Making (1)
 

“Send him back, remember to give him a sobering drink… Also, when he’s sleeping, make sure he doesn’t lie on his back in case he suddenly vomits and chokes on it…”

Ruby Gregory carefully instructed Russell Henris on several precautions before saying to him, who was propping up Steve Burton outside the door, “Goodbye.”

Russell Henris left a message for her to “rest early” before taking Steve Burton into the elevator.

The elevator doors closed and descended. Since it was late at night, no one would be using it, so the red number on the elevator stayed at “1.”

After a long time, Ruby Gregory closed the door and returned to her own bedroom. It was already two o’clock in the morning, and when she climbed into bed, she didn’t feel sleepy at all. Lying on her back, looking at the ceiling, all she could think about were the words Steve Burton had said to her tonight.

– Ruby, look, a lifetime is so long, I can wait slowly…

– You have me, just remember, you still have me…

– I’m willing to use my life’s misfortunes to watch you be happy in this life…

Thinking this, Ruby Gregory turned over, hugged her pillow, and listened to the sound of the upstairs neighbor using the bathroom and flushing the toilet in the middle of the night. She blinked gently, unable to help but raise her hand to touch her own left neckline, where the tear marks left by Steve Burton had long dried up, but she could still feel the warmth of his touch.

She was sure that Steve Burton genuinely cared for her, but she had never thought about what his intentions were when, in the eyes of outsiders, she was already with Edric Reat and yet he still treated her so well, just like when they both broke off their engagement, and she still couldn’t resist coming into contact with him again and again every time he appeared in front of her.

In fact, deep down, she had known the answer long ago. It was just because she was unsure of Steve Burton’s heart that she didn’t dare face it, and so she forced herself not to face her own heart either.

When he hugged her tonight and said “Ruby, I like you” three times in a row, she was somewhat at a loss, and even wanted to escape subconsciously.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But later, when he said so much to her, and she saw the pain he was in, her heart actually hurt even more than his, and she could no longer deceive herself.

She didn’t know when she had fallen for Steve Burton… maybe it was long ago, or perhaps even earlier than that.

How could someone not exist in the depths of another person’s heart if they had always revolved around one another since childhood, no matter what the reason?

It was just that the pressure from the Gregorys was too great, so great that it blinded her heart, making her think that she was only marrying Steve Burton for the sake of the family, but never considering whether her desperate efforts to marry him were really just for the sake of the Gregorys?

Steve Burton said no one had ever taught him how to love, but wasn’t it the same for her?

Who had ever taught her how to love someone?

She was his teacher, and he was hers too.

Oftentimes, your actions have already revealed your heart; it’s just that when faced with great love, you subconsciously want to hide.

Once upon a time, she wanted to return the US$6,860,000 to him, and immediately stood up on his behalf to clarify that Pristine’s Enterprises was innocent. It was because she loved him and wanted to be his equal.

She knew the pills he gave her were contraceptives, but her inability to accept them was because, subconsciously, she loved him and so she always cared so much about it.
