The moment Ruby Gregory and Steve Burton’s gazes met, Steve suddenly pulled away from her body, with a gloomy face, he grabbed a robe from the side, wrapped himself in it, and turned to enter the bathroom.
Soon after, the sound of running water faintly came through.
Ruby was caught off guard by Steve’s sudden halt, completely clueless about what was happening. She sat on the bed, dumbfounded and holding the quilt, staring at the bathroom door.
After about five minutes, the sound of water stopped, and the bathroom door was opened from the inside. Steve, wrapped in a bathrobe and wiping his wet hair with a towel, walked out.
His expression still seemed somewhat indifferent, not even glancing at Ruby sitting on the bed. He walked straight to the dressing room, changed into a casual light-colored loungewear, and continued to ignore Ruby as he walked out of the bedroom.
When it came to making love, Steve had only stopped suddenly halfway through twice. The first time was when Ruby cried uncontrollably, dampening his enthusiasm, and the second time was today.
They were fine while swimming in the pool, but why was it that once they returned to the bedroom, everything suddenly changed like this…
Ruby furrowed her eyebrows.
Mrs. Taylor only demonstrated it to Ruby twice, but after understanding the concepts, Ruby figured it out after some thinking.
While in the pool, she was preoccupied with the thought of drowning and forgot about her pain, so she wasn’t as tense. Back in the bedroom, her other worries disappeared, and her tension returned.
The moment she became tense, Steve started to become visibly displeased.
Did that mean that as long as she wasn’t tense when they were together, he would be as cheerful as he was in the pool today after making love, instead of being gloomy?
The reason she felt tense when it came to making love was due to her fear of pain. If she could make herself not feel the pain, would that solve everything?
As Ruby thought of this, she suddenly experienced a sense of relief as if she had overcome her biggest difficulty.
After having a high fever last night, Ruby was already somewhat weak, and she had just spent a long time with Steve. Feeling relaxed, Ruby unknowingly fell asleep. When she woke up again, the sky had started to darken.
Ruby looked at the time; it was already 6:30 p.m., and she had slept for over three hours.
Steve had already fished her clothes out of the pool and dried them, placing them by the bed.
Ruby picked them up and got dressed, then she went downstairs. She didn’t see Steve’s figure in the living room, and the terrace was empty except for the two coffee cups she had brought out at noon.
Ruby returned to the second floor; following the circular corridor and going around, she finally heard faint voices from the innermost room.
Through the door, Ruby couldn’t quite make out the words being spoken, but she recognized Steve’s voice.
She stood at the door, waiting for the room to quiet down before reaching out to knock.
After a moment, Steve’s usual indifferent and aloof voice came from inside, “Come in.”
As Ruby pushed the door open, she realized that this was the study. The light was off, and only the computer in front of Steve cast a thin layer of illumination.
