Chapter 437: Don’t Force It If You Don’t Want To (7)
Although she had already known about their engagent, hearing it again from Ruby Gregory made Maya Mitchell feel an inexplicable chill in her heart. She lowered her gaze, concealing the coldness in her eyes, and gently said, “I’ll definitely be there.”
“Then it’s settled. I’ll have soone send you the invitation later,” Ruby replied.
Maya gave a stiff nod, feigning a good-natured expression as she asked, “Is the engagent ceremony ready? Do you need any help with the preparations?”
“Mom and Steve Burton’s mother are preparing the ceremony together; I don’t need to worry about it,” Ruby said. She had always dread of marrying Steve, so she was genuinely excited about the engagent banquet. Even so, she couldn’t help but tell Maya about the details of her wedding. “The engagent banquet is taking place at Red Park Resort & Villas. There’s a large lawn by the lake; Mom sent a photo the other day. I saw the beautiful arrangents…”
Ruby took out her phone from her pocket as she spoke, found the picture, and showed it to Maya.
Even just for the engagent ceremony, the arrangents were so dreamy and romantic. What would their wedding be like – even more magnificent and grand?
Looking at the picture that resembled a scene from a fairy tale, Maya held in her heartache and nodded in agreent. “It seems they’ve put a lot of effort into it,” she said.
“Yes,” Ruby replied, not realizing how heartbroken Maya felt. She continued, “The engagent dresses for and Steve were custom-made by a French designer. And the ring, Aunt Burton has a pink diamond in her collection that we gave to the jewelers to design. We haven’t decided on the final design yet, so when they finish, you can help choose the most beautiful one… Oh, and the food at the engagent dinner is from a famous chef…”
As Maya looked at Ruby, whose eyes danced with happiness, she was suddenly unable to listen to her words any longer.
Their happiness and beauty together were deep thorns in her heart.
Maya took a deep breath, pretending to suddenly rember sothing, and said, “By the way, Ruby, did you know? Our university classmates from Ciawell are organizing a reunion soon.”
“I received the group email.”
“That’s good,” Maya said those three words, wanting to bring up another topic, but her mind was too occupied with all that Ruby had just ntioned. She grew weary and closed her eyes lightly. “Ruby, it’s getting late, and you have to work this afternoon. I’m tired too.”
“Then I’ll head back to the office first. You should rest well.”
“Yes, goodbye,” Maya smiled.
“Goodbye,” Ruby returned the smile and walked out of the hospital room.
As soon as the door closed, the smile vanished from Maya’s face. Feeling suffocated and unable to vent, she looked at the fruits and supplents that Ruby had brought with her. Irritated, she threw everything on the floor.
After venting her anger on the items, Maya turned her head to the side, breathing heavily. Only then did her heart feel slightly relieved.
