Translator: 549690339
That secret was Ruby Gregory.
They once asked Steve Burton why he didn’t have a passionate love affair in his pri so that he could leave behind the most beautiful silhouette of his youth in his old age.
At that ti, Steve Burton heard these words and let out a soft chuckle. His voice was faint, making him sound indifferent: “Too lazy to care.”
What a cold and indifferent person one must be not to even care about love.
But when they discovered the secret, they understood that Steve Burton was not careless about love, nor too lazy to care, but rather, his heart was taken, and his eyes could no longer accommodate anyone else.
Later on, they realized that it wasn’t because they were sophisticated and observant, but because all deep love could not be kept secret.
If you truly love soone, your eyes will always inadvertently fall on her.
If you truly love soone, her emotions will uncontrollably affect you in your most vulnerable monts.
If you truly love soone, you would focus solely on them, portraying the kind of calm and composed deanor like that of a wise man.
As for the others…
Although they seed to be playing gas among different won, perhaps without any emotional investnt, or perhaps with a fleeting mont of thrill, they ultimately remained unattached, unloved, and carefree.
Is it the jealousy of heaven?
Such a brilliant and dazzling man, who should have led a smooth and triumphant life, couldn’t escape from the clutches of love.
So early on, he confined himself to a circle called “Ruby Gregory.”
In the end, Howard Coleman couldn’t outplay Ruby, and they started a new ga of Backgammon once more.
This ti, Ruby had learned her lesson after several losses to Howard and began to strategize three to four moves ahead in anticipation of Howard’s five consecutive pieces.
Howard’s several setups were seen through by Ruby, and the duel between the two beca increasingly fierce.
Steve Burton, who was usually busy with socializing, was not soone who would be drunk after a thousand drinks. But for so unknown reason, perhaps due to Ruby’s presence, he started feeling a bit hazy after three to four glasses of wine. So, he made an excuse and left.
Steve Burton originally wanted to go outside for a breath of fresh air to clear his head, but sohow, his footsteps led him to the corner where Ruby, Howard, and Madeleine were sitting.
From about five ters away, Steve Burton could clearly hear Ruby’s voice.
She seed to be bickering with Howard. Her words were clearly unreasonable, yet they made it impossible for anyone to refute.
When she had rendered Howard speechless, she didn’t forget to provoke him by raising her eyebrows.
That appearance clearly showed that she had gained the upper hand and was still pretending to be innocent..
