Ruby Gregory’s mind was instantly covered with images of her and Steve Burton together. Her face suddenly turned pale, her hands trembled, and she threw the book in a panic onto the carpet beside her. She jumped up from the sofa and headed towards the bedroom door. By the time her hand touched the doorknob, she realized what she was doing.

Ruby’s body stiffened momentarily. She tightly gripped the doorknob and, after a long while, slowly lowered her arm. She turned back slowly, walked to the sofa, and curled up on it, staring blankly at the dark night sky outside the window for a long time before reluctantly lowering her eyes.

Yes, what is bothering her right now?

When she was little, her dad often stayed out all night. Sometimes when she went downstairs to drink water at night, she would see her mom sitting alone in the living room, watching TV.

Then there was her aunt, who, in the second year of marriage, found out that her uncle had a mistress. In a crying and noisy scene, her aunt threatened divorce unless her uncle ended things with the mistress. But, in the end, things backfired, and her uncle really divorced her aunt.

Besides, didn’t she witness Steve Burton and Ms. Annie making out in a private room at the Grand Capital Hotel? Back then, she calmly and coolly closed the room door without disturbing them. Didn’t she handle that well?

So, why does she now feel the impulse to pull Steve Burton away from the woman on the phone?

Ruby took a deep breath and told herself in her heart.

Since Steve was willing to get engaged to her, next month on the 8th, she will become his fiancée. She has achieved the goal she has always aimed for, so what is she unhappy about?

She knew that Steve, that man, was not someone she could control, and he would not belong to her alone.

Therefore, she must not follow in the footsteps of others and become a jealous wife who provokes Steve’s disgust.

Besides, hasn’t she always wanted to be Steve’s wife and educate their future children properly, maintaining their marriage?

So, why should she care so much about what he does outside their home?

As long as their marriage is stable, whatever debauchery he engages in outside- drinking alcohol, and spending time with other women, she will pretend not to see and not care.

Ruby constantly affirmed this answer in her heart. In the end, her heart gradually became numb, her eyelids drooping, and she curled up even more tightly on the sofa.

Steve Burton’s dinner party tonight ended at nine o’clock. It was only because Mr. Kentala suggested going to The Sapphire Bistro for a few drinks that he went along.

Steve’s mood was terrible, and there was nothing to do at home, so he didn’t refuse.

Mr. Kentala was famous among their circle for enjoying nightlife, and every time he went to a nightclub, he would always pick out a few pretty girls.

As the host of tonight’s gathering, Steve wasn’t fond of this kind of entertainment. However, as everyone present had one or two attractive young women sitting beside them, he did not refuse when Mr. Kentala arranged for a petite woman with a large chest to sit by his side.

Just like always, he didn’t engage in too much conversation with the woman arranged for him.
