Steve Burton snapped back to reality, his gaze never leaving Ruby Gregory. He stared into her eyes and spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, “Today is the 10th.” With just five simple words, Ruby understood the purpose of his visit.
Her lips instinctively pursed together.
Steve blinked softly and added, “It’s the day we go to Red Park.”
Going to Red Park used to be accompanied by a vacation, but now it involves sharing a bed!
Ruby imdiately rembered the last ti they had been together four tis, and he had given her a contraceptive pill afterwards. She subconsciously clenched her hand, her eyes downcast, never looking at Steve.
She remained silent for a long ti before finally saying softly, “I’m not feeling well today .
Before Ruby could finish her words, Lady Gregory, who had been standing quietly around the corner of the stairs, suddenly stepped forward and interrupted Ruby, “Ruby, co here, I have sothing to tell you.”

Even if he upsets you, you can always co back and talk to and vent. Don’t protest with him – what good will that do for you?”
“Ruby, your father and I have placed all our hopes on you. From childhood to adulthood, we have given you so much ti and attention – can’t you see that?”
“Do you know how heartbroken your father would be if he found out about
“You’ve really disappointed your father and !”
Ruby listened to Lady Gregory’s line-by-line scolding, subconsciously clutching her clothes.
Having chastised Ruby, Lady Gregory then made a decision, “Get ready now. Go downstairs and accompany Steve to Red Park. Let go downstairs and tell Steve to wait for you..”
