To the Love of My Life

Chapter 645: Chapter 645: Ruby Gregory’s Confession (25)

Compared to your happiness, my happiness is insignificant.

At the bottom of Ruby Gregory’s heart, a violent tremble occurred, and she could clearly feel that the softest part of her left chest was gently being wrapped by something warm.

After Steve Burton finished his sentence, he realized what he had just said, and a blush appeared on his pale face. Fortunately, the surrounding light was dim, so he didn’t look too embarrassed. However, he quickly changed the topic: “But, Ruby, you were a bit too gentle with Maya Mitchell.”

Hearing this, Ruby Gregory regained interest in an instant: “Steve, there’s something I didn’t tell you. While you were paying the bill, I went to the restroom and had a fight with Maya Mitchell!”

Steve’s body suddenly leaned forward, and he looked up and down Ruby Gregory over the dining table. When he saw her pregnant belly, he suddenly felt he was worrying too much. He leaned back lazily and said in complete disbelief: “Ruby… with your big belly… are you sure you weren’t just standing there getting beaten by Maya?”

Ruby was slightly offended by Steve’s words, and even though it was Steve who had genuinely made Maya uncomfortable that afternoon, she shamelessly said: “Steve, don’t underestimate me. I cornered Maya in the restroom, scolded her a lot, and even slapped her twice. She was so dumbfounded by my scolding that she didn’t even fight back. You weren’t there to see it, but if you were, you would have definitely praised me for being tough!”

Steve looked at Ruby’s expression for a while, and after realizing she wasn’t bluffing, his expression turned serious: “What about you? Did you get hurt?”

“No, and I got a lot off my chest!”

No wonder she was in such a good mood when she came out of the restroom… so that’s what happened…

Steve couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, finally saying: “Ruby, remember to have a good prenatal education.”

Ruby Gregory was reminded by Steve’s words and then suddenly thought about prenatal education. She pretended to be upset but was only able to maintain the sad face for five seconds. She pressed her lips and looked at Steve, saying: “Steve, I’m really sorry for having tried so hard to cling to you, wanting to marry you in the past.”

The sudden change in mood caused by Ruby’s words made the atmosphere tense.

There were things Ruby had never told anyone, including Madeleine.

For example, Madeleine knew she had set her heart on marrying Steve for the sake of the Gregorys, but she didn’t know the extent of the influence and education she had received since childhood in order to marry Steve.

In fact, she had never thought about telling Steve these things, but after hearing how Maya Mitchell devalued her today, she feared that Steve might also think of her in the same way.

“Steve, was I very annoying back then?” The past incidents were the softest and most painful parts of her heart. Even now, bringing them up again, Ruby still felt as if her heart was being twisted by a knife. She tried her best to squeeze out a smile and said casually, “Actually, you don’t even have to say it. When I think of my past self, I find it annoying.”

With a gentle smile on her lips, Ruby spoke softly: “But, Steve, I never wanted to be like that.”
