Upon seeing Ruby Gregory nodding her head, Lady Gregory immediately picked up the European-style landline phone next to her and dialed the Burtons’ home. In less than half a minute, the call was answered by the Burtons’ servant. Lady Gregory spoke amiably, “I’d like to speak to Mrs. Burton.”

After a short while, Lady Gregory spoke amicably: “Mrs. Burton… Yes, Ruby just got home, and I’ve asked for her opinion… Yes, yes, the engagement date, Ruby has chosen it… It’ll be the 10th of next month. Do you want to ask Steve for his opinion?… Steve will listen to Ruby?… Alright, let’s confirm it then… Yes, yes, the kids are busy with work, let’s organize the engagement banquet for them… Alright, alright… we’ll see each other another day… Goodbye.”

After hanging up the phone, Lady Gregory happily held Ruby’s hand: “Alright, everything has been settled. You and Steve can go to work as usual, and Mrs. Burton and I will handle the engagement preparations. Later, I’ll confirm a date with Mrs. Burton for you two to try on your outfits and choose engagement rings. Oh, and you and Steve need to take a set of wedding photos together… these things will require you both to be personally involved.”

And so, they had scheduled the date for her and Steve Burton’s engagement?

Ruby felt as if she were in a dream, she quietly stretched out her hand and pinched her thigh, feeling a sharp pain. She blinked her eyes before returning to her senses.

She was really going to marry Steve.

She was truly going to accomplish the dream that was imposed on her from childhood.

Not long ago, she thought she had no hope of marrying Steve because he hated and despised her.

But now, everything had undergone such dramatic changes.

While Ruby was still trying to process the events, Lady Gregory had already gone over this exciting news several times. After confirming all the arrangements, she finally relaxed, before gently advising Ruby: “Ruby, no matter how challenging the path was for you and Steve, the present situation is good, and you’re eventually going to marry him.”

“Mom is happy, but I still want to remind you that you need to cherish your marriage. From now on, not only do you need to tend to Steve well, you have to play the role of an ideal daughter-in-law in front of Mrs. Burton. And of course, not only Mrs. Burton, but you should also be friendly to everyone in the Burton family. Moreover, Ruby, even if Mrs. Burton says that you and Steve can wait a couple of years before having children, you should still try to have a child earlier. Once you have a child, your marriage with Steve will truly be stable…”

It wasn’t until after dinner, when Ruby returned to her bedroom, that her ears finally quieted down and she could gradually digest the series of events that had unfolded that night.

First, she encountered Edric Reat at the hospital. Then, there was Steve’s comment in the car, “It seems that it’s time.” Finally, her engagement date with Steve had been finalized.

All of these events, more exciting and miraculous than a dream, unfolded before her.

Although Ruby had always wanted to marry Steve and considered it her lifelong goal and dream,

Now that it was genuinely coming true, her heart was filled with all sorts of doubts.

Why did Steve suddenly want to marry her?
