Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Qingqing, I Like You (8)
Such pain had not yet completely subsided, and the words Steve Burton continued to speak made Ruby Gregory’s heart ache as if it were being sliced by a knife.
“It’s not right… Ruby, you’ve already left …”
In such a short sentence, he described such heartache and loss, as if he had lost the most precious thing in the world. It made Ruby feel that the tall and imposing Steve, who was holding her, seed like a little boy who had lost his most beloved toy, panicked and at a loss.
After saying this, he fell silent for a long while before speaking again, “You left … Ruby left …”
By the end, Steve’s voice was sowhat choked, “Ruby, do you know? I love you, but, as I loved and loved you, how did I lose you?”
A mist clouded Ruby’s eyes, and her lips began to tremble, but she did not make a sound.
“Ruby, do you know? I didn’t want to cancel our engagent, I wanted you to stay by my side, but, it’s terrible, I’ve only ever loved you alone, I haven’t loved anyone else, I haven’t learned how to love soone, I don’t know what to do to keep you from leaving …”
So words, when not spoken, are always difficult to know where to begin.
From their innocent interactions in childhood to their wholehearted love, over such a long period of ti, too much had happened and been experienced – things she knew and things she didn’t.
But now, Steve had spoken, and he found that the pain in the depths of his heart, like a dying heart, was slightly eased.
He thought that it was only because he was drunk on alcohol and had hallucinations that he had spoken these words he had buried in his heart for years, but at least it wouldn’t leave him agonizing with no place to vent.
“Ruby, tell , is it okay? Tell , what do I have to do to make you love ?” As Steve spoke, Ruby felt her neck getting wetter and wetter, and the man’s arms around her began to tremble, his voice wavering slightly, “Oh, no… Ruby, I don’t need you to love , I just want you to be by my side…”
“I won’t ask you to like anymore, it was all my fault before, I wanted you to care about deep inside, and as soon as I saw you ignoring , I couldn’t control my temper. I just wanted you to care about as much as I care about you… but no one told that if I did that, I would lose you…”
Steve rubbed his face against Ruby’s shoulder, tears streaming down one after the other, and he complained a little bit pitifully and innocently, “If I’d known that my selfishness would make lose you, Ruby, I definitely wouldn’t have done that…”
It’s just a pity that he didn’t know that until after he lost her.
“Ruby, I used to think that if you liked , I would let you know that I liked you too, and if you didn’t like , I wouldn’t let you see liking you even if it killed . Ruby, in fact, it was just my self-esteem at play…Ruby, I’ve actually always liked you…It’s just that I didn’t have the courage to face the fact that you didn’t like , and then I did so many foolish things…”
