To the Love of My Life - Chapter 494:

Chapter 494: Chapter 494: So You Knew It All Along (4)

Leaving Steve Burton’s warm embrace, Ruby Gregory felt a sudden chill engulfing her entire body.

In the empty study, she was all alone, with the lingering scent of their lovemaking still lingering in the air.

Yet there was infinite sadness, instantly filling Ruby’s heart.

Before, she had thought that once Steve married her, she would keep her distance from him. She even thought that if she could just have a child, she would want him not to touch her for the rest of his life and let him do whatever he wanted outside.

But now that the day had indeed come, Steve was neither hot nor cold towards her, treating her with icy politeness. Even when he touched her, it was only to fulfill their marital obligations, leaving immediately once it was over.

She found herself not wanting things to be this way.

Ruby was still puzzled why Steve had been so furious that day. After much contemplation, she realized that it seemed to be because she had returned his money.

But didn’t he dislike her for coveting his money? Why did he get so angry when she returned it?

The more Ruby thought about it, the more agitated she became. She shook her head, forced herself to get up with her sore and soft body, and picked up her clothes to put them on.

When Ruby came out of the study, Steve was no longer in the apartment. She was already exhausted these days and had been worn out by Steve just now, so she didn’t care much about it. She returned to the bedroom, collapsed on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up the next day, the apartment was still empty, with only Ruby left. When she went to the bathroom to take a bath and take off her clothes, she saw a small patch of red on her underwear.

This was the second time that it had happened. The first time, Ruby thought it was her period, so she used a sanitary pad. When she went to the bathroom, however, she saw that the pad was completely clean without a trace of red. That time, Steve had been very rough, and she thought he had hurt her. It had happened to her before, so she hadn’t paid much attention to it. But last night, Steve hadn’t been rough, and she hadn’t felt any pain. Why was there blood?

Ruby couldn’t care less about her bath, staring blankly at her underwear. After a long while, she realized that her period was supposed to come on the first of the month, but it hadn’t come this month. It had been delayed for about a week.

When Ruby had been considering having a child with Steve, she had looked up some signs of pregnancy. She compared them to herself and thought: excessive sleepiness, hunger, fatigue, delayed periods, occasional nausea, and an inexplicable craving for sour food… all seemed to fit.

When she had wanted to use a child to marry Steve, she could never get pregnant. Now she and Steve were finally set to marry, could it be she was pregnant now?

Ruby’s mind was a mess with countless thoughts, and the more she thought, the more she felt she was indeed pregnant. So after taking a bath and changing into clean clothes, she swung by a pharmacy on her way back to the hospital and bought a few pregnancy test kits.

Arriving at the hospital, instead of rushing to see her father, Ruby went to the bathroom, took the pregnancy test kits and tested her urine.

In one go, Ruby used all five pregnancy test kits, then anxiously stared at them. After about five minutes, the results on the pregnancy test kits appeared as follows:

PS: I’ll tell you tomorrow whether she is pregnant or not~~~ A book won’t have no major twists~~ If there are no major twists, it would be so dull. I can only ensure you this is the last major twist. After this, it should be sweet and happy storyline~~~ Ruby is indeed an emotional idiot, which is caused by the thoughts ingrained in her since childhood. Steve doesn’t know Ruby is an idiot, which leads to their differences~
