After Katherine and Ruby left, Steven went crazy thinking of Ruby. He just wanted to et her and express how much he loves her.
Before that he wanted to know why Rachel introduced herself as his fiance to Ruby. Using all his sources, he tracked which hotels she was staying in. He went to et her in the hotel room.
While he was knocking on the door of the hotel room, a service boy also ca with a tray having two plates in It and asked them permission to co in. The service boy looked at skeptically but I whispered to him that I wanted to surprise them. He smiled at him and nodded his head. He stayed quiet as he wanted to know who was with her.
He slowly walked inside without their notice, the service boy placed the food tray on the bedside table and left the room. He was startled to see his mother with her. He didn't understand why his mother ca to the city without his knowledge.
Before leaving his ho, his mother argued with him as he was trying to reconcile Martin and his father. She doesn't want Martin to give half a share of their property. But he was confused why his mother ca here along with Rachel.
" Mom….what are you doing here? " he asked, walking towards them.
" See….As I expect, my son ca for you…." His mother said to Rachel as her face was glowing like a star.
" Mom...Why are you here? Are you the one behind Rachel's drama at my office? " he asked angrily.
" It's not a drama. I want Rachel to be my daughter-in-law but not that low-class girl, " she answered.
" But I want to marry Ruby. I love her so much, " he inford his mother.
" I think that woman enchanted you with so magic spell. I don't know what happened to my son who cares for status and reputation" she said, holding his arms.
" Look at Rachel, she is more beautiful and rich than that woman, " she added.
" I don't want status or reputation. I want my wife to be kind and caring. My Ruby may not be beautiful like Rachel but has a beautiful heart, " he replied.
" I don't like her…." His mother shouted.
" I don't care…." He replied recklessly.
" So...you don't respect your mother now?" She asked him. He smiled bitterly and said, " You lost that respect a long ti ago when you hid Martin's call to my father. You beca a selfish woman. Because of your one mistake, many people's lives changed…."
" I did everything for you. I wanted only you to be the heir of Brown's family. Can't you understand your mother's love" she said.
" I would feel happy if you gave your mother's love to Martin too. But you didn't…" he said in a sad tone.
" You failed to understand my love," she said.
" And you failed to understand my love for Ruby" he retorted. Then he looked at Rachel and asked, " We were friends from childhood. Even if my mother asked to marry , Why didn't you ask my opinion? Without my consent, how could you think of marrying ?"
" Steven…..Since my childhood. I like you so much. But you used to change girlfriends so I never dared to express my feelings. When your mother asked to marry you, I was so happy and agreed instantly. I thought your Assistant is like your other girl just for one night. I never imagined that you would be so serious about her. I trusted your mom's words and talked with her rudely, " she replied. Then Rachel lowered her head and said, '' I am so sorry. I will never disturb you again in your life "
" Fine. I will leave now…" he turned away from them to leave but his mother stopped him and asked, " Steven… Is this your final decision? "
" Yes. I will marry only her because she is becoming a mother to my baby. At least for the sake of my baby, stay away from my baby. If anything happens to my Ruby or my baby, I will forget you are my mom. Rember I am not a soft-hearted person," He replied without looking at her.
His mother was dumb with his words and stared at his leaving figure.
The whole night, he thought about how to convince Ruby to believe his love. Sleep was far away from his eyes.
…...
The next morning at seven, Steven went to Adrian Mansion to talk with Ruby. He was so worried about her and her health as she looked so weak the day before.
He was hesitant to enter the house as Katherine warned him to stay away from Ruby but he wanted to et her in any circumstances. When he stepped in, one of the maids was dusting the living room.
" Good morning sir, Are you here for Master? " she asked politely.
"I am here for Miss. Ruby. Can you call her? " he replied.
At the sa ti, Adrian was descending the stairs after completing his morning workout. and stopped the maid from calling Ruby. Steven was stunned by Adrian's behavior and asked him to call Ruby as he needed to talk about sothing important.
" I can't call her here as she is not awake till now. I don't want her to disturb her, " he replied to Steven.
" Mr. Wilson...please…" he pleaded.
" I an to tell you to go to her room so that my mom won't listen to your conversation," He said.
Steven had a small smile on his lips and said, " Thank you…". Then he continued, " I will never forget your help…"
" No need to thank , Mr. Brown. For the first ti, I am going against my wife as I had little trust in you. Please don't disappoint , " he said. Just in ti, Katherine ca in the direction and noticed him. She looked angry but remained silent for Ruby and her baby. She rembered her husband's words which he said last night.
" Why are you here? " She asked in a serious tone.
" Kathie….is it a way to talk with the guests? Go and arrange coffee for him, " Adrian said. Then he inford him where Ruby's room was.
Taking long strides, Steven went to Ruby's room. As soon as he left for her room, Kathie asked her husband, " Why do you send him to her Ruby? "
" So….you want everyone to know Ruby is pregnant with his baby. Tell ? " He asked her.
" If he is not interested in Ruby, he would never co to our ho to et Ruby. Try to understand" he continued.
" Okay...if you say so. But if Ruby is upset with him then I don't allow him to et her " she said firmly.
" My angry queen...cool down…" he said and kissed her cheeks. She pushed him away and shouted" You ... idiot. What if your mom or our Sam sees us? "
He chuckled at her words and said, " I don't care ….because you are my wife…" on hearing his words she ran away from him.
…..
Steven turned the doorknob of Ruby's room and noticed a dim light inside. He found Ruby sleeping on the bed. Without disturbing her sleep, he sat beside her on the bed. He saw blackness under her eyes and cursed himself for her state. He stroked her hair and took her palms into his hand. He gently rubbed her fingers with his thumb and kissed her knuckles.
In her sleep, she tightened her grip on his hand. She felt so secure sensing his touch in her sleep. With the other hand, he placed his palm inside her night top and caressed over her bare stomach. He leaned on her stomach and kissed her flat stomach. Then he smiled and said, " I love you ….baby. You are my biggest hope to gain your mom's trust "
…..
In her sleepy state, she heard so voices and opened her eyes. She observed Steven in the room and was touching her stomach. She was scared that he might harm her baby. Imdiately she pushed his hand and sat up on the bed. " Why are you here? Are you here to harm my baby? " She scread.
Steven was taken back by her words and questioned, " Ru… Why will I harm our baby? How could you think that about ?"
She moved away from him and said, " Maybe my baby is an obstacle to getting married to your fiance. Maybe you want to get rid of " she said, placing both of her palms on her stomach.
" Ru….I love you and our baby. Please trust , " he begged.
" No. You don't love nor my baby. For god's sake leave and marry whoever you want " she shouted.
" Don't shout like that. It is not good for your health and our baby, " he said in a calm voice and took her into his arms.. He rubbed her back and said, " I fell in love with you when I saw you for the first ti in our company when you ca for the interview. I don't know that you are my brother's friend "
