Chapter 668: Chapter 668: Syrup, Candy, Sugar (18)
Actually, there wasn’t anything that required Steve Burton’s personal attention at the company that afternoon. He just made up an excuse to separate from Ruby Gregory.
When he first found out she was with Edric Reat, he felt he had no hope at all. So, every interaction with her seed like a gift from heaven to him.
At that ti, although he felt jealous, upset, and envious, he thought that was his stolen happiness and cherished it even more.
But as the stolen happiness increased, he couldn’t help but feel a hint of hope arising.
He knew that Ruby was going to marry Edric, and there should be no hope in his heart because hope would eventually turn into despair.
But he simply couldn’t control himself.
So, he just indulged himself.
Perhaps it was because he had spent such an enjoyable and warm ti with Ruby recently that he had an illusion: it felt as if, they had never been apart. Even, he had completely forgotten about Edric’s existence.
Then, when he suddenly saw Edric coming out of the residential complex, he rembered that Ruby did not belong to him.
His stolen happiness was only temporary.
Like fireworks, a fleeting mont, a rude awakening – incredibly cruel.
No matter how cruel, he ultimately still had no immunity towards her. When he saw her trying to flag down a taxi in the morning, he couldn’t help but co forward to help. He knew she was going for a check-up and accompanied her with a heavy heart. In the end, the twins turned into triplets, and he accompanied her to buy baby supplies, listening to her na the children she would have with Edric.
The envy and jealousy in his heart grew wildly like weeds, becoming more and more rampant.
The more Steve thought about it, the more his heart ached. As his car was about to reach the Pristine’s Enterprise Building, he suddenly took a turn at the crossroads ahead.
He didn’t want to go to the company, for he would have to pretend everything was fine once he was there.
But he clearly had a problem right now.
He was so troubled he didn’t even have the energy to pretend otherwise.
Steve drove slowly along the crowded streets of Ciawell, and eventually realized he had unconsciously almost reached the West Suburb Villa District.
Thinking about it, he hadn’t been back to the mansion for over a month. A few days ago, Mrs. Taylor had called to ask when he would return for dinner…
After so hesitation, Steve decided to head straight back to the mansion.
There were more trees in the West Suburb Villa District, making the temperature slightly cooler than in the city center. After parking the car, Steve stepped out of the garage and felt none of the heat he’d experienced in the city.
In the yard, the flowers Wenny Burton had recently planted were blooming beautifully in vibrant colors, almost half of them had blossod.
After staring at the sight for a mont, Steve walked to the front door. He reached out for the key, only to realize that he had left it in the dressing room of his city apartnt when he changed clothes last ti. So, he raised his hand and rang the doorbell on the wall.
After several rings, he heard Mrs. Taylor’s voice from inside: “Coming.”
Then, the sound of a lock turning was heard, the door opened, and the cool air from inside rushed out.
Mrs. Taylor looked sowhat surprised to see Steve but then happily made way for him. She bent down, took out his slippers from a nearby closet, and placed them in front of him.
