Ruby Sullivan was upset and ate more heartily. She was full in less than ten minutes and directly told the owner that this guy would pay the bill, then asked Anna to take her back to the hotel.
Anna had just leisurely finished a bowl of soup. Hearing her words, she imdiately wanted to cry, "Can I have so more noodles?"
Ruby Sullivan thought about how Anna had been driving tirelessly today and couldn’t bear it, "Then give the car keys, I’ll wait for you in the car."
"Okay." Anna beca happy.
After Ruby left, Anna curiously asked Ethan Sterling, "You ca here just to pursue Wenny, right?"
"Is it that obvious?"
Anna nodded, "It’s too obvious."
"Why can’t she see it?"
Anna raised an eyebrow, "Hmm, maybe she truly doesn’t love you anymore. She said, you from Celestia have a saying: good horses don’t turn back to graze the old pastures. I guess she wants to be a good horse."
Ethan’s expression slightly darkened, not wanting to talk. Isn’t being a person good?
Anna smiled, "Keep pushing, I know you Celestians have another saying that with sincere effort, even tal and stone will yield. I really like it, hope you succeed." She finished her noodles and left without dawdling.
Ethan put down the knife and fork, suddenly feeling a little stomachache. After resting for a while, he ordered a cream mushroom seafood soup.
When feeling upset, eat more. In their first three years living together, every ti Ruby sensitively noticed his upset expression was different from usual and would add more dishes on that day, telling him her wisdom.
Back then, she was still a 160-pound fat woman, and Ethan despised it, thinking that her flesh clashed when she walked, yet she still ate.
But he always couldn’t help eating a few more bites or drinking another bowl of soup, seemingly feeling more comfortable indeed.
He was too silly.
Ethan gulped down the soup, leading to worse stomach pain.

After arriving at the hotel bed, Ruby couldn’t help but happily roll over. All day, wherever she turned around casually, she could see Ethan, her nerves were incredibly tense.
She adjusted a bit and called Howard, who should still be at the company at this ti.
She reported a price, asking Howard to quickly calculate the acceptable price range and send it to her email so she could negotiate tomorrow.
After hanging up, she took a shower, having walked around all day, plus the tense nerves; she was a bit tired, possibly due to jetlag. Though tired, she didn’t feel sleepy. There was a small balcony in the room; she used it to blow so wind and checked out the surrounding scenery, then called hotel service to request a bottle of twelve-year-old Frapin. Expensive but she felt the cool evening breeze on the balcony deserved such a little luxury.
Shortly after, there was a knock at the door. She thought the wine had arrived and eagerly opened it, only to have a huge figure collapse on her.
Ruby hastily caught him, then realized it was Ethan Sterling, his forehead cold with sweat, his face terribly pale, sothing was very wrong.
She montarily forgot why he was here, how he knew her room, only wanted to know what happened to him.
Ruby quickly supported him to sit on the sofa, "Where are you uncomfortable?"
Ethan frowned tightly, breathing in without breathing out, finally spoke in a faint voice after a long ti: "Stomachache."
"Stomachache... I don’t have dicine here. Hot water, I’ll pour you a cup of hot water first." Ruby hurriedly got up to pour hot water.
At this mont, the waiter ca to deliver the wine; Ruby felt like she saw a savior, imdiately asked him where’s the nearest hospital for urgent gastric treatnt.
The waiter was scared seeing Ethan’s condition, quickly contacted the on-duty manager. Within minutes, Ruby and Ethan were in a taxi, with the manager instructing the driver to take them to the hospital at the fastest speed.
After a series of checks, the doctor calmly said, "His stomach had so ulcers. Eating so much at once, it’s overloaded."
"Simply put, he ate too much and got stuffed?"
The doctor smiled, "You can understand it that way."
Ruby turned to glance at Ethan, who was receiving an IV drip, feeling shocked once more.
She couldn’t watch the moon, blow the small breeze, drink the twelve-year-old brandy, instead spent the night sprawled beside Ethan’s hospital bed.
The next day, Young Master Sterling woke up refreshed, while Ruby, with panda eyes and a weary face, called Anna to pick him up from the hospital.
After getting in the car, Ruby asked Ethan where he lived, planning to drop him off first.
"I live next door to you," Ethan replied in Celestian, then turned his gaze away like a child scared to et his parent’s eyes after making a mistake. It wasn’t that he felt embarrassed his living next door was exposed; rather, he felt sha recalling he went to the hospital for overeating and was advised by the doctor to eat less in the morning.
Originally planned so earth-shaking major events last night but turned himself into a joke, really unbearable!
Ruby was stunned for a mont, recalling yesterday’s events, wasn’t too surprised, instructed Anna to return to the hotel.
Today she still wondered if Anna told him her address, turned to realize Anna didn’t know the room number here, and such high-end hotels wouldn’t disclose room numbers even when provided with guest nas without her consent.
So, Ethan had researched everything before coming, he was prepared.
However, knowing her hotel and even the room number was relatively easy, how did he know about her eting with the raw material supplier?
This couldn’t help but make her think of an insider, but only Nirvana’s few senior executives and she knew about it; no matter which one of them leaked for whatever purpose, it’d be heartbreaking.
Thinking about this, Ruby’s face turned sowhat unpleasant.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Ruby invited Anna for a sit-in, she needed to finish reading emails before deciding whether to go to Veridia today.
The doctor instructed Ethan to fast for a day. So after returning, he obediently went back to his room for a shower, continued sleeping. He knew Ruby must be annoyed with him now, refrained from wandering in front of her to avoid further irritation.
After reading the emails, Ruby communicated with the person in charge over there on the phone. The sincerity of the offer was very genuine, making the conversation smooth; they imdiately agreed to sign the contract tomorrow morning.
Once the deposit arrives, they can start preparing shipnts.
With this matter settled, Ruby felt much more at ease, although the Gallian doctor advised Ethan to fast, she still felt Gallian doctors might not understand Celestians’ constitutions well, so she asked Anna where she could borrow a kitchen.
Thus, ten minutes later, she visited that family restaurant again.
After explaining her intent, the chef was willing to lend his kitchen and the ingredients Ruby needed if she agreed to bear the corresponding costs.
This ti what Ruby brought aside from the down jacket needed for dostic airports were all glamorous long dresses, even sowhat discordant with an apron on. But, seeing her proficient knife skills, the chef couldn’t help but clap and say "bravo".
