Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Ruby Gregory’s Confession (3)
 

Later, when she found out that he had secretly been following her, doing so many things for her, and even getting injured, she found that all her determination had vanished in that instant, replaced by her concern for him.

She never thought about taking the initiative to find him, but every time he happened to appear in front of her, she couldn’t bring herself to coldly reject him as a stranger.

Thus, the encounters between him and her grew more and more frequent, and the closer they became, the more she found herself relying on him.

Upon seeing the baby formula he had brought back from Lilliput just for her that evening, she wondered how long he would continue to be so good to her; however, his apology that night made her waver.

Ruby Gregory turned over slightly and thought to herself, should she perhaps try to give herself some confidence and give both her, and Steve Burton, a chance?

–

Although Ruby haven’t decided whether or not to give herself and Steve a chance, their relationship had significantly improved because of his apology.

In the past, she would not contact Steve if he did not take the initiative to contact her; now, however, Ruby would actively reach out to him.

The feelings between Steve and Ruby were ingrained in them since childhood. Once some tacit understanding and patterns of interaction were stirred, their restraint seemed to dissipate.

At times, Steve wondered if it was appropriate for him to maintain such a close relationship with a woman like Ruby, who was pregnant with another man’s child and discussing marriage.

However, every time he received a message from Ruby asking if he was free and if he would like to share a meal with her, he would cast aside any moral considerations and ditch even important engagements or meetings. Then, he would recklessly rush to Ruby’s side.

When Ruby was eight months pregnant, she resigned from the Gardenia Clubhouse, hired a maid to tend to her, and began to focus on her pregnancy.

At this point, Ruby’s belly had grown considerably, her skin stretched and uncomfortable. The weight of the two little ones inside her often caused her back pain, so she spent more time at home.

In mid-June, as summer began, the weather was particularly pleasant. Ruby and her maid spent their time in the apartment, sorting through the baby items they had prepared in advance, such as bottles, little clothes, small blankets, and diapers…

Steve rarely visited her home. On the few occasions he came, his visits were short, but he always brought many things along with him. The maid then sorted through these items, telling Ruby which ones were from Steve.

After sorting, Ruby realized that more than half of these baby items were from Steve.

The maid neatly repacked the items in the box, then said with a grin, “Ms. Gregory, actually, the baby stuff Mr. Burton has given you is far less than what he got for you.”

“Pregnancy milk powder, postpartum belly band, olive oil, and many other little things that pregnant women need, were all prepared by Mr. Burton for you…” With the two of them being the only ones at home and having grown close over time, the maid continued without restraint, “This means that in fact, Mr. Burton cares more about you than he does about your unborn children.”
