Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Birthday Invitation (5)
Translator: 549690339
Only a line of hedges separated the Gregorys’ Villa from the Burtons’ Mansion.
From both yards, one could clearly see into the other’s.
So, not only was Ruby Gregory close with Steve Burton, but she knew all of the Burtons’ family members well, from the old to the young.
On this Saturday morning, Ruby woke up early. From the second-floor balcony, she could see the lines of luxury cars parked at the Burton Mansion.
Last night, Ruby had made a point to note that the car Steve drove back to the mansion was a Porsche.
After breakfast, Ruby went upstairs again to glance at the Burton’s parking lot. Upon seeing that Steve’s Porsche was gone, she brushed her teeth, put on some sky-blue sportswear and went downstairs.
In the backyard of the Gregorys’ home, two rows of vegetables were growing. Since it was harvest season, Ruby picked out some fresh vegetables, had the maid pack them into a basket, and headed to the Burtons’.
The Burton Mansion was still staffed by the old servants from three years ago.
Upon seeing Ruby, they stopped in their tracks and greeted, “Ms. Gregory.”
One hurriedly led Ruby into the mansion, crying out anxiously, “Ma’am,
Ma’am!”
“What’s the matter that you’re in such a flurry?” a melodious voice came from across the door as it was pushed open.
“Ma’am, it’s Ms. Gregory,” replied the servant. freewebnov(e)l.com
Ruby thought it a coincidence. She was here to see Wenny Burton, Steve’s elder sister. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝓵.𝓬𝒐𝒎
Upon seeing Ruby, Wenny was slightly surprised, then asked, “Ruby, you really came back?”
Ruby gave a slight smile and lifted the vegetables in her hand, saying, “Our backyard garden is ripe for picking, we’ve got an abundance and can’t possibly eat it all. My mother asked me to bring some over for you.”
“Aunt Gregory is always so considerate.” Wenny moved to the side and said, “Come in quickly.”
Ruby handed the vegetables over to a servant and followed Wenny into the house.
The decor of the Burtons’ home had all changed from three years ago when she left. It was now much more luxurious and grandiose.
Wenny gestured Ruby to sit and asked a servant to prepare tea, saying, “This is green tea freshly brought from West Lake. It has quite a fragrant scent, you should try it.’
“Thank you.” Ruby responded politely, lifted the teacup, and took a symbolic sip.
“While ago, I heard you returned, but I hadn’t seen you and thought it was only a rumor.”
Ruby smiled at Wenny and put the teacup back on the table.
“Ruby, how have you been in Costa Luna these past three years?” When Wenny asked this, she hesitated slightly. Finally, she lowered her voice and said, “I’m really sorry about what happened three years ago..”
