Chapter 679: Chapter 679: Qingqing, I Like You (9)
“Ruby, you have no idea how much I like you. I like you so much, that even when you’re with Edric Reat, I can’t force myself to give up liking you.”
Ruby Gregory’s nose was already a little sour, but when she heard Steve Burton’s words, her nasal root suddenly began to ache, which made her tears flow uncontrollably.
She wanted to say sothing, but she felt as if her throat was blocked by sothing, and she couldn’t say a word.
“Ruby, I never thought about disturbing your happiness. I just thought, wait a little longer, then give up… I know, maybe it’s just my own wishful thinking, but, Ruby… you don’t know, all these years, I’ve been thinking about marrying you, I’ve been thinking about having a wedding with you.”
But who would have thought that she would beco pregnant with another man’s child and marry soone else.
Steve’s voice was trembling more violently now. It’s more accurate to say that his next words were not so much for Ruby as they were comforting himself.
“But, it’s alright… Ruby, look, life is so long, I can wait slowly… If you and him have any accidents, it’s okay, you still have …”
When he reached this point, Steve hurriedly continued to explain: “Ruby, don’t misunderstand, I’m not cursing you and him to be unhappy until old, I’m just using a taphor. Life is so long, if there is any change, I just want you not to be too sad, at least, you still have …”
“Yes, you have , just rember that you still have … If you can be happy with him till old age, I will wait for you till old age…” No matter how sad he is now, Steve still raised his head from Ruby’s shoulder seriously. Looking into her eyes, he spoke sincerely, as though he was making a vow, “Ruby, I sincerely hope that you can be happy until old age, even if that happiness is not given by , it’s okay… I’m willing to use my remaining days in misery, to watch you enjoy happiness in this life…”
Steve’s tears had stopped, and the bottom of his eyes was covered with a layer of red from crying.
His gaze hesitated when he finished speaking, a slight smile erged at the corner of his mouth, as he looked her straight in the eyes, but then hesitated again.
He seed to want to say sothing to her but couldn’t bring himself to do so.
After a long ti, he lowered his eyes slightly, his lips moved, and then he looked up again, staring at Ruby: “Ruby, can I discuss sothing with you?”
Ruby nodded first, and then used all her strength to utter a “yes.”
Steve looked at her, his eyes dark and deep. Before he even spoke, a trace of anticipation appeared on his face. He calmly said, “If, if Edric Reat really can’t walk with you till the end, could you … could you, after you two break up, consider getting back together with ?”
Without waiting for her answer, he assured her as if making a vow, “I promise, I won’t treat you like I used to, I won’t ask you to love anymore, so… can you consider it?”
Ruby bowed her head sharply and softly cried.
