698 Chapter 698: Chaotic Baby-Making (18)
Ruby Gregory was truly angered. Facing Steve Burton's appeasent, she found no relief, only feeling a suffocating discomfort in her heart.
Being in the middle of sumr, there was no air conditioning in the hallway, slightly hot and stuffy. Ruby forcefully pushed Steve Burton away before storming into his living room. She picked up a throw pillow lying on the couch and threw it aggressively at Steve who was standing at the door with her purse in one hand and her two phones that fell on the floor in the other. "And yes, Steve Burton, tell , did you get my ssage?"
Throwing one pillow was not enough. Ruby took another throw pillow and in a swift step, stood on the couch. With her left hand, she threw the pillow at Steve again. "Did Ms. Taylor tell you about the call I made for you?"
Ruby then threw the right-hand pillow again: "You saw my call, why didn't you answer it?"
Steve was petrified looking at Ruby, standing high on the couch and hurling throw pillows, especially when considering her heavily pregnant belly. He was afraid she might lose balance and fall. Ignoring her questions, he tossed his things on a nearby coffee table, ran to her, opened his arms around her, and said: "Ruby, let's sit down and talk..."
"Why would I sit? I want to stand!" Ruby shouted. Her heart was filled with grievance. She stared at Steve, grinding her teeth before asking: "Steve Burton, why would you do that?"
Ruby, after questioning, stomped her feet on the couch twice. Steve almost knelt in front of her, pleading: "Ruby, I beg you, please co down, co down…"
Ruby quieted. She was standing still, her eyes filling with a layer of red. "And you talked to so much that night. Why would you go on a blind date tonight? What the heck is going on?"
She looked distraught, making Steve feel even more panicked: "Ruby, let explain…"
Before he could finish, Ruby's eyes filled with tears. Steve was at a loss, blurting out, "Ruby, don't cry..."
As the panicked Steve raised his hand to wipe Ruby's tears, he blurted out: "Ruby, it's not that I wanted to go see that girl, my Mom did it behind my back, she secretly set it up. She told we were having dinner together tonight... I swear, when I saw that it wasn't mom inside the private dining room, I imdiately turned around and left…"
Steve paused in the middle of his long explanation.
Ruby was complaining about his blind date... does that an she minds he went on a date?
If a woman minds a man dating soone else, does that an she is jealous...
Steve's heartbeat began to accelerate, a feeling words could not describe erged inside him - a sense of jubilation. Looking at the teary-eyed Ruby, he couldn't help but smile.
Just as his smile blood, Ruby standing in front of him suddenly clutched her belly and collapsed.
