Despite his sleepless night and his exhausted appearance, it didn’t affect his beauty.
He was stunning to begin with, and now under the sunlight, he seed even more dazzling.
Ruby stared at his exceptional face and couldn’t help but wonder, could it be that Mrs. Taylor was right, and she had been wrong this whole ti? Mrs. Taylor stood nearby, urging her, “Lunch is ready; you should call Mr.
Steve to co and eat.”
She thought she knew Steve well but had repeatedly angered him. After what he said last night, she had been thinking about what he really wanted. She wasn’t sure if Mrs. Taylor was completely right, but she wanted to give it a try.
Ruby clenched her teeth and decided not to leave. Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the swimming pool on the terrace.
Mrs. Taylor smiled and left, satisfied, to return to the kitchen.
Although Ruby had made up her mind, her heart began to race nervously as she approached the French windows, even before opening the door.
She tightened her grip and, with a determined look, pushed open the door to the terrace.
The gentle breeze from the distant city blew, lifting her long hair and skirt hem, fluttering them about.
Ruby stopped a ter away from Steve and looked at his side profile for half a minute before finally calling out, “Mr. Burton.”
Steve turned to look at her with a cold expression and asked bluntly, “I thought you left?”
Ruby felt embarrassed by his words and wished she could disappear. She couldn’t tell him that Mrs. Taylor had inford her that he didn’t want her to leave. So, she thought of a different excuse, mustering up the courage to say, “I’m hungry and want to eat lunch before leaving. Mrs. Taylor has already prepared it, so I ca to call you.”
After finishing her words, Ruby quietly looked at Steve’s face.
Perhaps the warmth of the sun softened his icy expression, as he made a cold, disdainful “hmph” sound, but there was no obvious chill in his deanor.
He even leisurely strolled past her and opened the glass door.
Steve gave a sidelong glance at Ruby, who was still standing in place, and said,
“What are you waiting for?”
Ruby snapped out of her daze and hurriedly walked into the house, with Steve following closely behind. He casually entered the first-floor bathroom. Ruby finally loosened her clenched hand, only to find it soaked with sweat.
Her heartbeat was extraordinarily fast.
What Mrs.. Taylor said was actually right!
